Usage

General Description

A yellow crystalline solid. Insoluble in water and denser than water. May irritate skin and eyes. Readily ignitable and may be difficult to extinguish once ignited. Used to make dyes and other chemicals.

Air & Water Reactions

Highly flammable. Insoluble in water.

Reactivity Profile

Nitronaphthalene is incompatible with oxidizing agents and strong reducing agents. Mixtures with tetranitromethane are highly explosive and sensitive. Sulfuric acid and nitric acid mixtures of Nitronaphthalene undergo runaway reactions and detonate when the temperature is raised to 140° F.

Health Hazard

Fire may produce irritating and/or toxic gases. Contact may cause burns to skin and eyes. Contact with molten substance may cause severe burns to skin and eyes. Runoff from fire control may cause pollution.

Fire Hazard

Flammable/combustible material. May be ignited by friction, heat, sparks or flames. Some may burn rapidly with flare burning effect. Powders, dusts, shavings, borings, turnings or cuttings may explode or burn with explosive violence. Substance may be transported in a molten form at a temperature that may be above its flash point. May re-ignite after fire is extinguished.

Safety Profile

Poison by ingestion. Moderately toxic by intraperitoneal route. A skin, eye, and mucous membrane irritant. A flammable solid when exposed to heat or flame. To fight fire, use CO2, dry chemical, or water spray. Explosive reaction with nitric acid + sulfuric acid above 60°C. Forms a sensitive explosive mixture with tetranitromethane. When heated to decomposition it emits toxic fumes of NOx. See also 1-NITRONAPHTHALENE, 2-NITRONAPHTHALENE, and NITRO COMPOUNDS OF AROMATIC HYDROCARBONS.
