Ingredient CAS No Percent Hazardous
------------------ ------------ ------------ ---------
Potassium Iodide 7681-11-0 90 - 100% No
Inhalation: May cause irritation to the respiratory tract. Symptoms may
include coughing and shortness of breath.
Ingestion: Large oral doses may cause irritation to the gastrointestinal
tract.
Skin Contact: May cause irritation with redness and pain.
Eye Contact: May cause irritation, redness and pain.
Chronic Exposure: Chronic ingestion of iodides may produce "iodism,"
which may be manifested by skin rash, running nose, headache and irritation of
mucous membranes. Weakness, anemia, loss of weight, and general depression may
also occur.
Aggravation of Pre-existing Conditions: No information found.
Inhalation: Remove to fresh air. Get medical
attention for any breathing difficulty.
Ingestion: Induce vomiting immediately as directed by medical personnel.
Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
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.
Ventilate area of leak or spill. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment as specified in Section 8
Keep in a tightly closed light-resistant container, stored in a cool, dry, ventilated area. Protect against physical damage. Isolate from incompatible substances. Prolonged storage is not recommended because of possible degradation problems, including yellowing of the potassium iodide product. Always inspect the potassium iodide's color and overall quality before use. 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: -ACGIH (TWA) for
Iodides:0.01 ppm for inhalable fraction and vapor.
Ventilation System: A system of local and/or general exhaust is
recommended to keep employee exposures below the Airborne Exposure Limits. 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: Gloves and lab coat, apron or coveralls.
Eye Protection: Use chemical safety goggles. Maintain eye wash fountain
and quick-drench facilities in work area.
Appearance: White crystals.
Odor: Odorless.
Solubility: 140 grams/100 gm in water.
Density: 3.1
pH: 7-9
% Volatiles by volume @ 21C (70F): 0
Boiling Point: 1330C (2426F)
Melting Point: 680C (1256F)
Vapor Density (Air=1): No information found.
Vapor Pressure (mm Hg): 1 @ 745C (1373F)
Evaporation Rate (BuAc=1): No information found.
Stability: Stable under ordinary conditions of use
and storage. On long exposure to air becomes yellow due to release of iodine.
Hazardous Decomposition Products: Oxides of the contained metal and
halogen, possibly also free, or ionic halogen.
Hazardous Polymerization: Will not occur.
Incompatibilities: Diazonium salts; diisopropyl peroxydicarbonate;
oxidants; bromine and chlorine trifluorides; fluorine perchlorate; calomel (mercurous
chloride); potassium chlorate; metallic salts; tartaric and other acids.
Conditions to Avoid: Air, moisture, light and incompatibles.
