HS Code: 29051900
HS Code: 29269095
Poison by ingestion, intraperitoneal, and subcutaneous routes. An experimental teratogen. Combustible when exposed to heat or flame. Decomposes exothermically above 195°C. Can react with oxidizing materials. To fight fire, use alcohol foam, CO2, dry chemical. When heated to decomposition, or on contact with acid or acid fumes, it emits highly toxic fumes of NOx and CN−. See also NITRILES.
Standards and Recommendations
ACGIH TLV: CL 5 mg(CN)/m3 (skin)
NIOSH REL: (Nitriles) TWA 20 mg/m3
Specification
Succinonitrile (CAS NO.110-61-2) is hazardous,so the first aid measures and others should be known .Such as:
Skin: Get medical aid. Should flush skin with plenty of water immediatelyfor at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes.
Eyes: Flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids.Then get medical aid soon.
Inhalation: Remove from exposure and move to fresh air immediately.Give artificial respiration While not breathing. when breathing is difficult, give oxygen.And as soon as to get medical aid.
Ingestion: Wash mouth out with water,and get medical aid immediately.
Notes to Physician: Treat supportively and symptomatically.
Chemical Stability: Stable under normal pressures and temperatures.
Incompatibilities with Other Materials: Strong reducing agents, strong bases, strong acids,strong oxidizing agents.
