Potassium Ferricyanide 13746-66-2 99 - 100% Yes
Information on the human health effects from exposure to this substance is
limited. Used information for a related compound, potassium ferrocyanide, as a
guide. Potassium ferrocyanide is apparently benign and does not decompose to
cyanide in the body.
Inhalation: May cause irritation to the respiratory tract. Symptoms may
include coughing and shortness of breath.
Ingestion: Large doses may cause gastrointestinal upset with nausea,
vomiting, diarrhea, and possible cramping.
Skin Contact: May cause irritation with redness and pain.
Eye Contact: May cause irritation, redness and pain.
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 large amounts of water to drink. Never give anything by
mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical attention.
Skin Contact: Immediately flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15
minutes. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash clothing before reuse.
Thoroughly clean shoes before reuse. Get medical attention if irritation
develops.
Eye Contact: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15
minutes, lifting upper and lower eyelids occasionally. Get medical attention if
irritation persists.
Fire: Not considered to be a fire hazard.
Explosion: Not considered to be an explosion hazard.
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. May
emit toxic and flammable fumes of cyanide if involved in a fire.
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. Protect from light. 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: Safety glasses. Maintain eye wash fountain and
quick-drench facilities in work area.
Appearance: Bright red, crystalline powder.
Odor: Odorless.
Solubility: Slowly soluble in 2.5 parts cold water
Specific Gravity: 1.85 @ 17C/4C
pH: No information found.
% Volatiles by volume @ 21C (70F): 0
Boiling Point: No information found.
Melting Point: No information found.
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. The aqueous solution decomposes slowly on standing.
Hazardous Decomposition Products: When heated to decomposition or comes
in contact with acid or acid fumes it emits toxic fumes of cyanides. Emits toxic
fumes of cyanide and oxides of nitrogen when heated to decomposition.
Hazardous Polymerization: Will not occur.
Incompatibilities: Ammonia, chromium trioxide + heat, cupric nitrate,
sodium nitrite + heat, acids and acid fumes.
Conditions to Avoid: Light, heat, incompatibles.
