Safety & regulation
Safety information is for reference only and does not replace the supplier’s Safety Data Sheet (SDS), applicable regulations, or professional assessment.
Hazard information
Regulatory InformationAzide (anion): Does not have an individual approval but may be used as a component in a product covered by a group standard. It is not approved for use as a chemical in its own right.
Hazards Summary
All azide salts are unstable, and some explode after heat or shock. Organic azides are sensitized by metal salts or strong acids. Azides emit toxic fumes when heated to decomposition. [Sax] The azide group (N3) has an affinity for ferric iron in mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase. Like cyanide poisoning, azide poisoning disrupts cellular aerobic metabolism. [AHLS, p. 202] Most of the fulminates and azides of heavy metals are sensitive explosives. These materials do not make efficient explosives; their sole attraction is their sensitivity. [Reference #1] See Sodium azide.
