Hazard Class: 6.1; Labels: 6.1-Poisonous materials.
Incompatibilities
Incompatible with oxidizers (chlorates,
nitrates, peroxides, permanganates, perchlorates, chlorine,
bromine, fluorine, etc.); contact may cause fires or explosions.
Keep away from alkaline materials, strong bases,
strong acids, oxoacids, and epoxides. Slowly hydrolyzes in
water, releasing ammonia, and forming acetate salts.
Decomposes at 265C releasing toxic oxides of nitrogen,
sulfur, and carbon. Decomposed by strong ultraviolet light.
Chemical Properties
Yelloworange crystalline solid or powder.
Odorless.

Do not discharge into drains
or sewers. Dispose of waste material as hazardous waste
using a licensed disposal contractor to an approved landfill.
Consult with environmental regulatory agencies for guidance
on acceptable disposal practices. Incineration with
effluent gas scrubbing is recommended. Containers must be
disposed of properly by following package label directions
or by contacting your local or federal environmental control
agency, or by contacting your regional EPA office.
