CALCIUM RESINATE

Calcium resinate is a grayish white to yellow amorphous powder which can be fused into grayish lumps. If it comes in contact with air, spontaneous heating may result. This heat may be sufficient to ignite the material itself or surrounding combustible material. It is insoluble in water.

• Highly Flammable
• Water-Reactive
• Air-Reactive

Highly flammable. The powder spontaneously heats in the presence of air and moisture. This heat may be sufficient to ignite surrounding combustible materials. The solid is insoluble in water.

Excerpt from ERG Guide 133 [Flammable Solids]:

Flammable/combustible material. May be ignited by friction, heat, sparks or flames. Some may burn rapidly with flare-burning effect. Powders, dusts, shavings, borings, turnings or cuttings may explode or burn with explosive violence. Substance may be transported in a molten form at a temperature that may be above its flash point. May re-ignite after fire is extinguished. (ERG, 2024)

Inhalation of fumes from heated chemical may cause irritation of nose and throat. Ingestion causes irritation of nose and throat. Contact with eyes causes irritation. Contact of molten material with skin causes burns. (USCG, 1999)

Inorganic reducing agents, such as CALCIUM RESINATE, react with oxidizing agents to generate heat and products that may be flammable, combustible, or otherwise reactive. Their reactions with oxidizing agents may be violent.

Excerpt from ERG Guide 133 [Flammable Solids]:

IMMEDIATE PRECAUTIONARY MEASURE: Isolate spill or leak area for at least 25 meters (75 feet) in all directions.

LARGE SPILL: Consider initial downwind evacuation for at least 100 meters (330 feet).

FIRE: If tank, rail tank car or highway tank is involved in a fire, ISOLATE for 800 meters (1/2 mile) in all directions; also, consider initial evacuation for 800 meters (1/2 mile) in all directions. (ERG, 2024)

Excerpt from ERG Guide 133 [Flammable Solids]:

SMALL FIRE: Dry chemical, CO2, sand, earth, water spray or regular foam.

LARGE FIRE: Water spray, fog or regular foam. If it can be done safely, move undamaged containers away from the area around the fire.

FIRE INVOLVING METAL PIGMENTS OR PASTES (E.G. "ALUMINUM PASTE"): Aluminum Paste fires should be treated as a combustible metal fire. Use DRY sand, graphite powder, dry sodium chloride-based extinguishers or class D extinguishers. Also, see ERG Guide 170.

FIRE INVOLVING TANKS, RAIL TANK CARS OR HIGHWAY TANKS: Cool containers with flooding quantities of water until well after fire is out. For massive fire, use unmanned master stream devices or monitor nozzles; if this is impossible, withdraw from area and let fire burn. Withdraw immediately in case of rising sound from venting safety devices or discoloration of tank. ALWAYS stay away from tanks in direct contact with flames. (ERG, 2024)

Excerpt from ERG Guide 133 [Flammable Solids]:

ELIMINATE all ignition sources (no smoking, flares, sparks or flames) from immediate area. Do not touch or walk through spilled material.

SMALL DRY SPILL: With clean shovel, place material into clean, dry container and cover loosely; move containers from spill area.

LARGE SPILL: Wet down with water and dike for later disposal. Prevent entry into waterways, sewers, basements or confined areas. (ERG, 2024)

Dust mask; goggles or face shield; gloves (USCG, 1999)

INHALATION: move victim to fresh air; get medical help immediately.

INGESTION: give large amounts of water; induce vomiting.

EYES: flush immediately with cold water; get medical help immediately.

SKIN: if molten chemical burns skin, apply cold water immediately; get medical help for burn treatment. (USCG, 1999)
