Odorless red powder.

A halogenated amine. Amines are chemical bases. They neutralize acids to form salts plus water. These acid-base reactions are exothermic. The amount of heat that is evolved per mole of amine in a neutralization is largely independent of the strength of the amine as a base. Amines may be incompatible with isocyanates, halogenated organics, peroxides, phenols (acidic), epoxides, anhydrides, and acid halides. Flammable gaseous hydrogen is generated by amines in combination with strong reducing agents, such as hydrides.

This chemical is sensitive to long term exposure to air and light . Insoluble in water.

A halide-and amine-substituted aromatic compound. (halogenated amine). Intermediate in the production of dyes.

This chemical is probably combustible.

Eyes: First check the victim for contact lenses and remove if present. Flush victim’s eyes with water or normal saline solution for 20 to 30 minutes while simultaneously calling a hospital or poison control center. Do not put any ointments, oils, or medication in the victim’s eyes without specific instructions from a physician. Immediately transport the victim after flushing eyes to a hospital even if no symptoms (such as redness or irritation) develop. Skin: Immediately flood affected skin with water while removing and isolating all contaminated clothing. Gently wash all affected skin areas thoroughly with soap and water. If symptoms such as redness or irritation develop, Immediately call a physician and be prepared to transport the victim to a hospital for treatment. Inhalation: Immediately leave the contaminated area; take deep breaths of fresh air. If symptoms (such as wheezing, coughing, shortness of breath, or burning in the mouth, throat, or chest) develop, call a physician and be prepared to transport the victim to a hospital. Provide proper respiratory protection to rescuers entering an unknown atmosphere. Whenever possible, SCBASCBA should be used; if notavailable, use a level of protection greater than or equal to that advised under Protective Clothing. Ingestion: Do Not induce vomiting. If the victim is conscious and not convulsing, give 1 or 2 glasses of water to dilute the chemical and Immediately call a hospital or poison control center. Be prepared to transport the victim to a hospital if advised by a physician. If the victim is convulsing or unconscious, do not give anything by mouth, ensure that the victim’s airway is open and lay the victim on his/her side with the head lower than the body. Do Not induce vomiting. Immediately transport the victim to a hospital. Cigarette smoking may exacerbate pulmonary injury and should be discouraged for at least 72 hours following exposure. If symptoms develop or overexposure is suspected, chest X-ray should be considered.

UN3259 Amines, solid, corrosive, n.o.s, or Polyamines, solid, corrosive, n.o.s., Hazard class: 8; Labels: 8-Corrosive material, Technical Name Required. UN2735 Amines, liquid, corrosive, n.o.s, or Polyamines, liquid, corrosive, n.o.s., Hazard class: 8; Labels: 8-Corrosive material, Technical Name Required.

May be combustible. Powder mixture with air may be explosive. Sensitive to air and light exposure, long term. A chemical base: will neutralize acids to form salts plus water with an exothermic reaction. May be incompatible with isocyanates, halogenated organics, peroxides, phenols (acidic), epoxides, anhydrides, and acid halides. Flammable gaseous hydrogen is generated by amines in combination with strong reducing agents such as hydrides, nitrides, alkali metals, and sulfides.

1-Amino-2,4-dibromoanthraquinone is a red powder or a red solid needles. Odorless

Dispose of contents and container to an approved waste disposal plant. Use a licensed professional waste disposal service to dispose of this material. Dissolve or mix the material with a combustible solvent and burn in a chemical incinerator equipped with an afterburner and scrubber. All federal, state, and local environmental regulations must be observed

ADBAQ and other aminoanthraquinones are key intermediates in the production of almost all anthraquinone dyes (HSDB 2009). Anthraquinones, including ADBAQ, are widely used as starting material for the manufacture of vat dyes, which are a class of water-insoluble dyes that can easily be reduced to a water-soluble and usually colorless form. In this form, they are readily impregnated into fibers and textiles. Oxidation then produces an insoluble colored form that is remarkably fast to washing, light, and chemicals. Vat dyes typically are used with cotton, wool, and cellulose acetate (NTP 1996).

ChEBI: 1-Amino-2,4-dibromoanthraquinone is an anthraquinone.

1-Amino-2,4-dibromoanthraquinone (ADBAQ) is reasonably anticipated to be a human carcinogen based on sufficient evidence from studies in experimental animals.
