General Description
Orange-red to yellow crystalline solids with an musty odor or no odor. Consists of a mixture in unspecified proportions the compounds three isomeric forms. Flash point 266°F. Used as corrosion inhibitors and to make other chemicals. Toxic by inhalation and skin absorption. Produces oxides of nitrogen during combustion.
Air & Water Reactions
Slightly soluble in water.
Reactivity Profile
NITROANILINE is basic. Reacts with acids. May react with organic materials. In the presence of moisture, the heat of the reaction may be sufficient to cause ignition.
Health Hazard
TOXIC; inhalation, ingestion or skin contact with material may cause severe injury or death. Contact with molten substance may cause severe burns to skin and eyes. Avoid any skin contact. Effects of contact or inhalation may be delayed. Fire may produce irritating, corrosive and/or toxic gases. Runoff from fire control or dilution water may be corrosive and/or toxic and cause pollution.
Fire Hazard
Combustible material: may burn but does not ignite readily. When heated, vapors may form explosive mixtures with air: indoors, outdoors and sewers explosion hazards. Contact with metals may evolve flammable hydrogen gas. Containers may explode when heated. Runoff may pollute waterways. Substance may be transported in a molten form.
