Molecular Weight: 110.98
Chemical Formula: CaCl2
Product Codes: 31123
Ingredient CAS No Percent Hazardous
-------------------- ------------ ------------ ---------
Calcium Chloride 10043-52-4 93 - 100% Yes
Inhalation: Granular material does not pose a significant inhalation
hazard, but inhalation of dust may cause irritation to the respiratory tract,
with symptoms of coughing and shortness of breath.
Ingestion: Low toxicity material but ingestion may cause serious
irritation of the mucous membrane due to heat of hydrolysis. Large amounts can
cause gastrointestinal upset, vomiting, abdominal pain.
Skin Contact: Solid may cause mild irritation on dry skin; strong
solutions or solid in contact with moist skin may cause severe irritation, even
burns.
Eye Contact: Hazard may be either mechanical abrasion or, more serious,
burns from heat of hydrolysis and chloride irritation.
Chronic Exposure: No information found.
Aggravation of Pre-existing Conditions: No information found.
Inhalation: Remove to fresh air. If not breathing,
give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical
attention.
Ingestion: Induce vomiting immediately as directed by medical personnel.
Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical attention.
Skin Contact: Wipe off excess material from skin then immediately flush
skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Remove contaminated clothing
and shoes. Get medical attention. Wash clothing before reuse. Thoroughly clean
shoes before reuse.
Eye Contact: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15
minutes, lifting lower and upper eyelids occasionally. Get medical attention
immediately.
Note to Physician: Oral ingestion may cause serum acidosis.
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. At
high temperatures or when moistened under fire conditions, calcium chloride may
produce toxic or irritating fumes.
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. Moist calcium chloride and concentrated solutions can corrode steel. When exposed to the atmosphere, calcium chloride will absorb water and form a solution. 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 and/or full face shield where
dusting or splashing of solutions is possible. Maintain eye wash fountain and
quick-drench facilities in work area.
Other Control Measures: Maintain good housekeeping in work area. Dust
deposits on floors and other surfaces may pick up moisture and cause the
surfaces to become slippery and present safety hazards.
Appearance: White or gray-white granules.
Odor: Odorless.
Solubility: Freely soluble in water, exothermic.
Density: 2.15
pH: 8 - 9 Aqueous solution
% Volatiles by volume @ 21C (70F): 0
Boiling Point: > 1600C (> 2912F)
Melting Point: 772C (1422F)
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. Substance will pick up moisture from the air and go into solution
if exposed in open containers.
Hazardous Decomposition Products: Emits toxic chlorine fumes when heated
to decomposition. May form hydrogen chloride in presence of sulfuric or
phosphoric acids or with water at elevated temperatures.
Hazardous Polymerization: Will not occur.
Incompatibilities: Methyl vinyl ether, water, zinc, bromine trifluoride,
mixtures of lime and boric acid, barium chloride, and 2-furan percarboxylic
acid. Metals will slowly corrode in aqueous calcium chloride solutions. Aluminum
(and alloys) and yellow brass will be attacked by calcium chloride.
Conditions to Avoid: Incompatibles.
Oral rat LD50: 1000 mg/kg. Investigated as a tumorigen and mutagen.
