Specification
Sodium borohydride , its cas register number is 16940-66-2. It also can be called Sodium tetrahydroborate ; Sodium borotritide ; and Sodium borohydrate . It is hazardous, so the first aid measures and others should be known. Such as: When on the skin: first, should flush skin with plenty of water immediately for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing. Secondly, get medical aid. Or in the eyes: Flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Then get medical aid soon. While, it's inhaled: 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. Then you have the ingesting of the product : Wash mouth out with water, and get medical aid immediately. Notes to physician: Treat supportively and symptomatically.
In addition, Sodium borohydride (CAS NO.16940-66-2) could be stable under normal temperatures and pressures. It is not compatible with water, water, acids, alcohols, copper, halogenated agents, iron, sulfuric acid, dimethyl formamide, alkalies, nickel, palladium, aluminum chloride + bis(2-methoxyethyl) ether, diborane + bis(2-methoxyethyl) ether, ruthenium salts, anhydrous acids, polyglycols, dimethylacetamide, metal salts, trichlorosilane, aldehydes, activated carbon, ketones, heavy metals, and you must not take it with high temperatures, incompatible materials, ignition sources, excess heat, temperatures above 220 °C, and should be exposured to moist air or water. And also prevent it to broken down into hazardous decomposition products: carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, oxides of boron, borane, hydrogen gas, sodium oxide.
