General Description
A white to light-colored crystalline solid. Insoluble in water and denser than water. Contact may cause irritation to skin, eyes, and mucous membranes. May be toxic by ingestion. Used to make other chemicals.
Reactivity Profile
An oxidizing agent but can serve as a reducing agent. If mixed with reducing agents, including hydrides, sulfides and nitrides, may begin a vigorous reaction that culminates in a detonation.
Air & Water Reactions
Highly flammable. This chemical may be sensitive to prolonged exposure to air. . Insoluble in water.
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.
Potential Exposure
It is used as a vapor-phase corrosion
inhibitor whereby it vaporizes either from the solid state or
from solution, and offers protection against atmospheric
rusting. Wrapping paper, plastic wraps; and other materials
may be impregnated with dichan to protect metal parts
during packaging and storage
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.
First aid
Skin Contact: Flood all areas of body that
have contacted the substance with water. Don’t wait to
remove contaminated clothing; do it under the water stream.
Use soap to help assure removal. Isolate contaminated
clothing when removed to prevent contact by others.
Eye Contact: Remove any contact lenses at once.
Immediately flush eyes well with copious quantities of
water or normal saline for at least 2030 minutes. Seek
medical attention.
Inhalation: Leave contaminated area immediately; breathe
fresh air. Proper respiratory protection must be supplied to
any rescuers. If coughing, difficult breathing or any other
symptoms develop, seek medical attention at once, even if
symptoms develop many hours after exposure.
Ingestion: Contact a physician, hospital or poison center at
once. If the victim is unconscious or convulsing, do not
induce vomiting or give anything by mouth. Assure that the
patient’s airway is open and lay him on his side with hishead lower than his body and transport immediately to a
medical facility. If conscious and not convulsing, give a
glass of water to dilute the substance. Vomiting should not
be induced without a physician’s advice.
