General Description
Blue crystalline powder. Sinks and mixes with water. (USCG, 1999)
Hazards
Reactivity Alerts
none
Air & Water Reactions
Water soluble.
Fire Hazard
No information available.
Health Hazard
INHALATION: May cause nasal congestion. EYES: May cause conjunctivitis. SKIN: Irritation. INGESTION: Irritation. (USCG, 1999)
Reactivity Profile
Salts, basic, such as COPPER FORMATE, are generally soluble in water. The resulting solutions contain moderate concentrations of hydroxide ions and have pH's greater than 7.0. They react as bases to neutralize acids. These neutralizations generate heat, but less or far less than is generated by neutralization of the bases in reactivity group 10 (Bases) and the neutralization of amines. They usually do not react as either oxidizing agents or reducing agents but such behavior is not impossible.
