Synonyms: Feric Nitrate
CAS No.: 10421-48-4 (Anhydrous) 7782-61-8 (Nonahydrate)
Molecular Weight: 404.00
Chemical Formula: Fe(NO3)3.9H2O
Product Codes: 950
Ingredient CAS No Percent Hazardous --------------------------------------- ------------ ------------ --------- Ferric Nitrate 10421-48-4 90 - 100% Yes
Inhalation:Causes irritation to the respiratory tract. Symptoms may include coughing, shortness of breath.
Ingestion:Causes irritation to the gastrointestinal tract. Repeated large doses can cause excess iron buildup in the body. Symptoms include gastrointestinal irritation, with abdominal cramps, vomiting, diarrhea, black stool and liver damage.
Skin Contact:Causes irritation to skin. Symptoms include redness, itching, and pain.
Eye Contact:Causes irritation, redness, and pain. Prolonged contact may cause a brownish discoloration to the eye.
Chronic Exposure:Under some circumstances methemoglobinemia occurs in individuals when the nitrate is converted by bacteria in the stomach to nitrite. Chronic exposure may cause liver effects.
Aggravation of Pre-existing Conditions:Persons with pre-existing skin disorders or eye problems, or impaired liver, kidney or respiratory function may be more susceptible to the effects of the substance.
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: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.
Fire:Not combustible, but substance is a strong oxidizer and its heat of reaction with reducing agents or combustibles may cause ignition. Fire may produce poisonous or irritating gases.
Explosion:Contact with oxidizable substances may cause extremely violent combustion. Sealed containers may rupture when heated. Sensitive to mechanical impact.
Fire Extinguishing Media:Dry chemical, foam, carbon dioxide, or water spray.
Special Information:Wear full protective clothing and breathing equipment for high-intensity fire or potential explosion conditions.
Ventilate area of leak or spill. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment as specified in Section 8.
Keep in a tightly closed container. Protect from physical damage. Store in a cool, dry, ventilated area away from sources of heat, moisture and incompatibilities. Separate from combustibles, organic or other readily oxidizable materials. Avoid storage on wood floors. 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 Threshold Limit Value (TLV):1 mg/m3 (TWA) soluble iron salt as Fe
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):If the exposure limit is exceeded and engineering controls are not feasible, a full facepiece particulate respirator (NIOSH type N100 filters) may be worn for up to 50 times the exposure limit or the maximum use concentration specified by the appropriate regulatory agency or respirator supplier, whichever is lowest. 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-facepiece 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:Violet crystals.
Odor:Slight nitric acid odor.
