RIDADR: UN 1194 3/PG 1
RTECS: RA0810000
HazardClass: 3.1
PackingGroup: I
Poison by inhalation and ingestion. Narcotic in high concentrations. Lowers blood pressure. Methemoglobinemia has been reported. A very dangerous fire and severe explosion hazard when exposed to heat or flame. A powerful oxidizer. May explode when heated above 90°C. Highly dangerous when heated to decomposition or on contact with acid or acid fumes. To fight fire, use foam, CO2, dry chemical, or water spray. When heated to decomposition it emits toxic fumes of NOx. See also NITRITES and ETHERS.

Ethyl nitrite Specification

 Ethyl nitrite (CAS NO.109-95-5) is an alkyl nitrite. It may be prepared from ethanol.


It is the main ingredient in a traditional ethanol-based South African remedy for colds and flu known as Witdulsies and sold in pharmacies. It is known as a traditional Afrikaans remedy and may have Dutch roots, as the same remedy is apparently made by the Germano-Dutch Amish people in the USA. However FDA has blocked over-the-counter sales of this same remedy, known in the USA as sweet nitrite or sweet spirit of nitre since 1980.
