14 ALUMINUMNJTRATE
water or milk. Do NOT induce vomiting. SKIN: flush immediately with plenty of water. For eye
contact, flush with water for at least 15 min. and get medical attention immediately; Toxicity by
Inhalation (Threshold Limit Value): 5 ppm (hydrogen chloride); Short-Tern Exposure Limits: 5 ppm
for 5 min.; 30 ppm for 10 min.; 20 ppm for 20 min.; 10 ppm for 60 min.; Toxicity by Ingestion: No
systemic effects, but severe burns of mouth; Late Toxicity: None recognized; Vapor (Gas) Irritant
Characteristics: Vapor (or hydrogen chloride) is moderately irritating such that personnel will not
usually tolerate moderate or high vapor concentrations; Liquid or Solid Irritant characteristics: Fairly
severe skin irritant; may cause pain and second-degree burns after a few minutes’ contact; Odor
Threshold 1-5 ppm (hydrogen chloride).
Fire Hazards - Flash Point: Not flammable; Flammable Limits in Air (96): Not flammable; Fire
Extinguishing Agents: Not pertinent; Fire Extinguishing Agents Not To Be Used Do not use water on
adjacent fires; Special Hazards of Combustion Products: Not pertinent; Behavior in Fire: Reacts
violently with water used in extinguishing adjacent fires; Ignition Temperature: Not flammable;
Electrical Hazard Not pertinent; Burning Rate: Not flammable.
Chemical Reactivity - Reactivity with Water: Reacts violently with water, liberating hydrogen chloride
gas and heat; Reactivity with Common Materials: None if dry. If wet it attacks metals because of
hydrochloric acid formed; flammable hydrogen is formed; Stability During Transport: Stable if kept
dry and protected from atmospheric moisture; Neutralizing Agents fordcids and Caustics: Hydrochloric
acid formed by reaction with water can be flushed away with water. Rinse with sodium bicarbonate or
lime solution; Polymerization: Not pertinent; Inhibitor of Polymrization: Not pertinent.

Chemical Formula: AI(N03),*9H,0.
Observable Characteristics - Physical State (as nonnally shipped): Solid; Color: White; Odor: None.
Physical and Chemical Properties - Physical State at 15 “c and I am. : Solid; Molecular Weight.
375.13; Boiling Point at I am.: Not pertinent (decomposes); Freezing Point: 163, 73, 346; Critical
Temperature: Not pertinent; Critical Pressure: Not pertinent; Specific Gravity: > 1 at 20°C (solid);
Vapor (Gas) Density: Not pertinent; Ratio of Specipc Heats of Vapor (Gas): Not pertinent; Latent Heat
of Vaporization: Not pertinent; Heat of Combustion: Not pertinent; Heat of Decomposition: Not
pertinent.
Health Hazards Information - Recommended Personal Protective Equipment: Goggles or face shield;
dust respirator; rubber gloves; Symptoms Following Exposure: Ingestion of large doses causes gastric
irritation, nausea, vomiting, and purging. Contact with dust irritates eyes and skin; General Treament
forExposure: EYES: flush with water for at least 15 min. SKIN: flush with water; wash with soap and
water; Toxicity by Inhalation (Threshold Limit Value) : Data not available; Short-Tern &pasure Limits:
Data not available; Toxicity by Ingestion: Grade 3; oral rat LD50 264 mg/kg (nonahydrate); Late
Toxicity: Data not available; Vapor (Gas) Irritant Characteristics: Data not available; Liquid or Solid
Irritant Characteristics: Data not available; Odor Zkreshold: Odorless.
Fire Hazards - Flash Point: Not flammable; Flammable Limits in Air (56): Not flammable; Fire
Extinguishing Agents: Not pertinent; Fire Extinguishing Agents Not To Be Used Not pertinent; Special
Hazards of Combustion Products: Toxic oxides of nitrogen may form in fire; Behavior in Fire: May
increase the intensity if fire when used with combustible material; Ignition Temperature: Not pertinent;
Electrical Hazad Not pertinent; Burning Rate: Not pertinent.
Chemical Reactivity -Reactivity with Water: Dissolves and forms a weak solution if nitric acid. The
reaction is not hazardous; Reactivity with Common Materials: May corrode metals in presence of
moisture; Stability During Transport: Stable; Neutralizing Agents for Acids and Caustics: Flush with
water; Polymeriz&’on: Not pertinent; Inhibitor of Polymrization: Not pertinent.

AMMONIA, ANHYDROUS
