Chlorsure

Toxic Gases & Vapors -> Acids, Inorganic

Reactive agents - 4th degree

Chloric acid is a colorless liquid. It will accelerate the burning of combustible materials and can ignite most on contact. It is corrosive to metals and tissue. It is used as a reagent in chemical analysis and to make other chemicals.

The New Jersey Worker and Community Right to Know Act requires public and private employers to provide information about hazardous substances at their workplaces. (N.J.S.A. 34:5A-1 et. seq.)

Excerpt from ERG Guide 140 [Oxidizers]:

CAUTION: Ammonium nitrate products may explode if involved in fire or contaminated with hydrocarbons (fuels), organic matter, other contaminants or when hot molten and contained. Treat as an explosive (GUIDE 112).

· Inhalation, ingestion or contact (skin, eyes) with vapors or substance may cause severe injury, burns or death.

A strong skin and mucous membrane irritant; [Merck Index] Corrosive to tissue; [CAMEO] An eye irritant; [eChemPortal: ERMA] A corrosive substance that can cause injury to the skin, eyes, and respiratory tract; Inhalation may cause chemical pneumonitis and pulmonary edema; [MSDSonline]

Self-reactive. Concentrations of CHLORIC ACID above 40% decompose [Mellor 2 Supp. 1:576 1956]. Antimony sulfide and concentrated solutions of chloric acid react with incandescence [Mellor Supp. II Part I:584 1956]. Arsenic sulfide and concentrated solutions of chloric acid react with incandescence. Reacts with vigor even explodes with other metal sulfides, i.e. copper sulfide [Mellor Supp. II Part I:584 1956]. In contact with oxidizable materials, including ammonia, reactions can be extremely violent. Filter paper ignites after soaking in chloric acid, [Mellor, 1946, Vol. 2, 310]. Explosions have been recorded by mixtures of chloric acid solution with metals such as: antimony, bismuth, and iron. This is due to the formation of explosive compounds including hydrogen.
