Reactivity Alerts
Radioactive Material
Air & Water Reactions: Soluble in water.
Health Hazard: Inhalation of dust may irritate the nose and throat. Contact with the eyes irritates. (USCG, 1999)
Reactivity Profile: Inorganic oxidizing agents can react with reducing agents to generate heat and products that may be gaseous (causing pressurization of closed containers). The products may themselves be capable of further reactions (such as combustion in the air). The chemical reduction of materials in this group can be rapid or even explosive, but often requires initiation (heat, spark, catalyst, addition of a solvent). Inorganic oxidizing agents can react violently with active metals, cyanides, esters, and thiocyanates.
Explosives often consist of an inorganic oxidizing agent mixed in intimate contact with a reducing agent. Gunpowder is such a mixture. Other examples are a mixture of sugar (an organic compound) plus sodium chlorate and magnesium (an inorganic reducing agent) plus barium peroxide. Compounds that inherently contain a group that is a reducing agent, and an oxidizing agent are classed in both Group 44 (Inorganic Oxidizing Agents) and Group 45 (Inorganic Reducing Agents; for example, ammonium nitrate).
The strongly oxidizing elements oxygen and fluorine are classified here. Inorganic oxidizing agents that are also acids (such as nitric and perchloric acids) are not included in this group. They are in Group 2 (Acids, Inorganic Oxidizing). (REACTIVITY, 2003) Belongs to reactive group(s).

EN374
If used in solution, or mixed with other substances, and under conditions that differ from EN 374, contact the supplier of the CE-approved gloves. This recommendation is advisory only and must be evaluated by an industrial hygienist and safety officer familiar with the specific situation of anticipated use by our customers. It should not be construed as offering approval for any specific use scenario.
Body protection: Complete suit protecting against chemicals, the type of protective equipment must be selected according to the concentration and amount of the dangerous substance at the specific workplace.
Respiratory protection:
- Where risk assessment shows air-purifying respirators are appropriate use a full-face particle respirator type N100 (US) or type P3 (EN 143) respirator cartridges as a backup to engineering controls.
- If the respirator is the sole means of protection, use a full-face supplied air respirator.
- Use respirators and components tested and approved under appropriate government standards such as NIOSH (US) or CEN (EU).
Control of environmental exposure:
- Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so.
- Do not let the product enter drains.
- Discharge into the environment must be avoided.
At any detectable concentration: Any self-contained breathing apparatus with a full facepiece operated in a pressure-demand or other positive-pressure mode.
Any supplied-air respirator with a full facepiece operated in a pressure-demand or other positive-pressure mode or other positive-pressure mode with an auxiliary self-contained breathing apparatus operated in pressure-demand or other positive-pressure mode.
Escape – any air-purifying, full-facepiece respirator with a high-efficiency particulate filler.
Any appropriate escape-type, self-contained breathing apparatus.
Firefighting and Other Immediately Dangerous to Life or Health Conditions
Use any self-contained breathing apparatus with a full facepiece respirator and a high-efficiency particulate filter.
