| SECTION III - PHYSICAL/CHEMICAL CHARACTERISTICS | |
BOILING POINT: DECOMPOSES @ 350 DEG. F
VAPOR PRESSURE (MMHg.): NOT APPLICABLE
VAPOR DENSITY (AIR = 1): NOT APPLICABLE
SPECIFIC GRAVITY (H2O = 1): 1.725

| SECTION IV - FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD DATA | |
FLASH POINT (METHOD USED): NOT APPLICABLE
FLAMMABLE LIMITS: N/A
LEL: N/A
UEL: N/A
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA:
FLOOD AND COOL HOT NITRATE WITH STRAIGHT STREAM NOZZLES. DO NOT USE SLAT
WATER. WATER IS EFFECTIVE IN DESENSITIZING MOLTEN OR CONTAMINATED NITRATE.
SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES:
IMMEDIATELY VENTILATE STRUCTURE. DO NOT USE SPRAY OR FOG NOZZLES. USE
STRAIGHT STREAM NOZZLES TO COOL AND DESENSITIZE MOLTEN NITRATE.
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION REQUIRED FOR FIRE FIGHTING PERSONNEL. WHEN ANY FIRE
IS BURNING OUT OF CONTROL AND WATER CANNOT SAFELY BE APPLIED TO
DESENSITIZE, NITRATE FIRE CREWS SHOULD WITHDRAW A SAFE DISTANCE AND USE
UNMANNED FIRE LINES
UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS:
DECOMPOSES INTO FLAMMABLE AND HAZARDOUS NITROGEN OXIDES. AS AN OXIDIZER,
IT YIELDS NITROUS OXIDE READILY TO STIMULATE THE COMBUSTION OF ORGANIC
MATTER OR ETHER FUEL. IN UNCONFINED FIRE SITUATIONS, AMMONIUM NITRATE
FERTILIZER CREATES A SELF-LIMITING EFFECT AS THE ENDOTHERMIC EFFECT OF ITS
DISSOCIATION INTO AMMONIA AND NITRIC ACID ABSORBS THE HEAT PRODUCED BY THE
EXOTHERMIC DECOMPOSITION OF NITROUS OXIDE AND WATER VAPOUR. AMMONIUM
NITRATE FERTILIZER IS NOT EXPLOSIVE. DETONATION POTENTIAL UNDER
CONFINEMENT AND HIGH TEMPERATURES, OR WHEN HEATED WITH CONTAMINANTS SUCH
AS ORGANIC OR CARBONACEOUS MATERIAL, METALLIC POWDERS, ACIDS, OR
COMBINATION WITH COPPER PRODUCES TETRAMINE CUPRIC HYDRATE, A SALT WITH
HIGH SENSITIVITY. ZONAL DECOMPOSITION A POSSIBILITY.
| SECTION V - REACTIVITY DATA | |
STABILITY:
UNSTABLE (X)
STABLE ( )
CONDITIONS TO AVOID: HEAT AND FIRE. INSENSITIVE TO IMPACT IN DRY FORM
INCOMPATIBILITY (MATERIALS TO AVOID):
CHEMICAL FROM DAMAGED COLD PACK SHOULD NOT BE MIXED WITH ACETIC ACIDS,
METALS, CHLORIDES, ORGANIC MATTER, PHOSPHOROUS, SODIUM, POTASSIUM,
SULPHUR, INORGANIC ZINC, COPPER. COPPER REPRESENTS THE GREATEST
CONTAMINATION HAZARD
HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION OR BYPRODUCTS: HAZARDOUS OXIDES OF NITROGEN.
HAZARDOUS POLYMERIZATION:
MAY OCCUR ( )
WILL NOT OCCUR (X)
CONDITIONS TO AVOID: HEAT AND FIRE
| SECTION VI - HEALTH HAZARD DATA | |
ROUTE(S) OF ENTRY: EYE CONTACT; SKIN CONTACT; INHALATION; INGESTION
HEALTH HAZARDS (ACUTE AND CHRONIC):
DRY CHEMICAL OF COLD PACK MAY BE AN EYE IRRITANT
DRY CHEMICAL OF COLD PACK IS A SKIN IRRITANT WITH PROLONGED CONTACT
DRY CHEMICAL OF COLD PACK HAS SLIGHT TO MODERATE TOXICITY WHEN INGESTED
MINIMAL HAZARD OF INHALATION UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS.
NO HEALTH HAZARDS WHEN DRY CHEMICAL AND WATER ARE IN SOLUTION.
CARCINOGENICITY: N/A
SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF EXPOSURE:
EYE CONTACT WITH DRY CHEMICAL MAY RESULT IN EYE DISCOMFORT AND
AGGRAVATION..
SKIN CONTACT WITH DRY CHEMICAL MAY RESULT IN MECHANICAL DISCOMFORT AND
RASH WITH PROLONGED CONTACT.
SWALLOWING LARGE AMOUNTS OF DRY CHEMICAL MAY HAVE SERIOUS OR EVEN FATAL
EFFECTS.
INHALATION OF LARGE AMOUNTS OF DRY CHEMICAL DUST MAY HAVE SERIOUS OR EVEN
FATAL EFFECTS.
MEDICAL CONDITIONS GENERALLY AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE: NOT AVAILABLE
EMERGENCY AND FIRST AID PROCEDURES (FOR DRY CHEMICAL OF THE COLD PACK):

FOR AT LEAST 15 MINUTES WHILE HOLDING EYELIDS APART.
SEEK IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION.
SKIN: WASH WITH MILD SOAP AND WATER.
SWALLOWING:
DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. IF PERSON IS CONSCIOUS, DILUTE STOMACH CONTENTS
WITH 48 OZ. OF WATER AND SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION. CONTACT POISON CONTROL
FOR ADVISE.
INHALATION:
EXPOSURE TO THERMAL DECOMPOSITION - EVACUATE PERSON TO FRESH AIR, GIVE
RESPIRATORY SUPPORT.
SEEK IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION.
