Reactivity Profile
SALICYLALDEHYDE is an aldehyde. Aldehydes are frequently involved in self-condensation or polymerization reactions. These reactions are exothermic; they are often catalyzed by acid. Aldehydes are readily oxidized to give carboxylic acids. Flammable and/or toxic gases are generated by the combination of aldehydes with azo, diazo compounds, dithiocarbamates, nitrides, and strong reducing agents. Aldehydes can react with air to give first peroxo acids, and ultimately carboxylic acids. These autoxidation reactions are activated by light, catalyzed by salts of transition metals, and are autocatalytic (catalyzed by the products of the reaction). The addition of stabilizers (antioxidants) to shipments of aldehydes retards autoxidation.

Response Recommendations
Isolation and Evacuation
No information available.
Firefighting
Extinguish with water fog, alcohol foam, CO2 or dry chemical. (USCG, 1999)
Non-Fire Response
Avoid contact with liquid or vapor. Keep people away. Wear goggles and self-contained breathing apparatus. Stop discharge if possible. Isolate and remove discharged material. Notify local health and pollution control agencies. (USCG, 1999)
Protective Clothing
Wear goggles and self-contained breathing apparatus. (USCG, 1999)

First Aid
Call a doctor.
INHALATION: Remove from exposure. Treat respiratory depression with artificial respiration and oxygen.
EYES: Irrigate with water for at least 15 minutes.
SKIN: Wash with soap and water. Remove contaminated clothing.
INGESTION: Induce vomiting with ipecac. Delay absorption by giving activated charcoal. Use saline cathartic. in mild poisoning with adequate urine output and no vomiting, give milk and fruit juice every hour. Treat acidosis with sodium bicarbonate (7.5% solution). (USCG, 1999)
