350 SODIUM CACODYLATE
Characteristics: Non-volatile; Liquid or Solid Irritant Characteristics: Irritates skin; Odor Z?ireshoM:
Not pertinent.
Fire Hazards - Flash Point : Not flammable; Flammble Limits in Air (96): Not pertinent; Fire
Extinguishing Agents: Graphite, limestone, soda ash, sodium chloride powders; Fire Extinguishing
Agents Not To Be Used: Water, carbon dioxide, or halogenated extinguishing agents; Special Hazards
of Combustion Products: Not pertinent; Behavior in Fire: Decomposes and produces highly flammable
hydrogen gas; Ignition Temperature : Not pertinent; Electrical Hazard: Not pertinent; Burning Rate:
Not pertinent.
Chemical Reactivity - Reactivity with Water: Ream to form flammable hydrogen gas; Reactivity with
Common Materials: Reacts with acids to form toxic, flammable diborane gas. Slowly attacks and
destroys glass; Stability During Transport: Stable unless contaminated with acids or is overheated,
thereby forming flammable hydrogen gas; Neutralizing Agents forAcids and caustics: Caustic formed
by the reaction with water can be diluted with water and then neutralized with acetic acid;
Polymerization: Not pertinent; Inhibitor of Polymerization: Not pertinent.
