Magnesium Chloride 7786-30-3 98 - 100% Yes
Inhalation: Inhalation of dust may cause mild irritation to the mucous
membranes.
Ingestion: Since magnesium salts are slowly absorbed, abdominal pain,
vomiting and diarrhea may be the only symptoms. However, if elimination is
blocked by bowel blockage or other reasons, CNS depression, lack of reflexes,
hypocalcemia (deficiency of calcium in the blood) may occur.
Skin Contact: No adverse effects expected but may cause minor skin
irritation.
Eye Contact: No adverse effects expected but dust may cause mechanical
irritation.
Chronic Exposure: No information found.
Aggravation of Pre-existing Conditions: No information found.
Inhalation: Remove to fresh air. Get medical
attention for any breathing difficulty.
Ingestion: Give several glasses of water to drink to dilute. If large
amounts were swallowed, get medical advice.
Skin Contact: Remove any contaminated clothing. Wash skin with soap and
water for at least 15 minutes. Get medical attention if irritation develops or
persists.
Eye Contact: Wash thoroughly with running water. Get medical advice if
irritation develops.
Note to Physician: IV administration of calcium gluconate will partially
reverse the effects of acute magnesium toxicity. Ventricular support with
calcium chloride infusion and mannitol forced diuresis has also been successful.
Fire: Not considered to be a fire hazard.
Explosion: Not considered to be an explosion hazard. At room temperature
the addition of magnesium chloride to furan-2-peroxycarboxylic acid, will cause
the acid to explode.
Fire Extinguishing Media: Use any means suitable for extinguishing
surrounding fire.
Special Information: In the event of a fire, wear full protective
clothing and NIOSH-approved self-contained breathing apparatus with full
facepiece operated in the pressure demand or other positive pressure mode.
Ventilate area of leak or
spill. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment as specified in Section
8
Keep in a tightly closed container, stored in a cool, dry, ventilated area. Protect against physical damage. Isolate from incompatible substances. Containers of this material may be hazardous when empty since they retain product residues (dust, solids); observe all warnings and precautions listed for the product.
Airborne Exposure Limits: None established.
Ventilation System: A system of local and/or general exhaust is
recommended to keep employee exposures as low as possible. Local exhaust
ventilation is generally preferred because it can control the emissions of the
contaminant at its source, preventing dispersion of it into the general work
area. Please refer to the ACGIH document, Industrial Ventilation, A Manual of
Recommended Practices, most recent edition, for details.
Personal Respirators (NIOSH Approved): For conditions of use where
exposure to dust or mist is apparent and engineering controls are not feasible,
a particulate respirator (NIOSH type N95 or better filters) may be worn. If oil
particles (e.g. lubricants, cutting fluids, glycerine, etc.) are present, use a
NIOSH type R or P filter. For emergencies or instances where the exposure levels
are not known, use a full-face positive-pressure, air-supplied respirator.
WARNING: Air-purifying respirators do not protect workers in oxygen-deficient
atmospheres.
Skin Protection: Wear protective gloves and clean body-covering clothing.
Eye Protection: Use chemical safety goggles. Maintain eye wash fountain
and quick-drench facilities in work area.
Appearance: Colorless flakes or crystals.
Odor: Odorless.
Solubility: 167g/100ml water @ 20C (68F)
Density: 1.57
pH: 5% in water is neutral to litmus.
% Volatiles by volume @ 21C (70F): 0
Boiling Point: Not applicable.
Melting Point: 118C (244F)
Vapor Density (Air=1): No information found.
Vapor Pressure (mm Hg): No information found.
Evaporation Rate (BuAc=1): No information found.
Stability: Stable under ordinary conditions of use
and storage. By strong ignition is converted into oxychloride.
Hazardous Decomposition Products: When heated to decomposition it emits
corrosive hydrochloric acid vapor. When heated to temperatures above 300C (572F)
it emits toxic fumes of chlorine gas.
Hazardous Polymerization: Will not occur.
Incompatibilities: Furan-2-peroxycarboxylic acid. Strong oxidizing agents
will release chlorine.
Conditions to Avoid: Heat, moisture, incompatibles.
Oral rat LD50: 8100mg/kg. Investigated as a mutagen.
