SODIUMSALTOFDINITRO-ORTHO-CRESOL

Use

The compound, SODIUM DINITRO-O-CRESOLATE is shock sensitive and classified as explosive. When heated to decomposition SODIUMSALTOFDINITRO-ORTHO-CRESOL emits toxic fumes of NOx. Organic nitrates may explode when shocked, exposed to heat or flame or by spontaneous chemical reaction. SODIUMSALTOFDINITRO-ORTHO-CRESOL must be stored in a cool, ventilated place, away from acute fire hazards and easily oxidized materials. Also reacts violently with Al; BP; cyanides; esters; PN2H; P; NaCN; SnCl2; sodium hypophosphite; thiocyanates. Dangerous disaster hazard due to fire and explosion hazard. On decomposition, they emit toxic fumes. They are powerful oxidizing agents which may cause violent reaction with reducing materials. Nitrates should be protected carefully in storage.
