Reactivity Profile
5-NITRO-O-ANISIDINE(99-59-2) is incompatible with strong oxidizing agents, acids, acid chlorides, acid anhydrides and chloroformates .
Air & Water Reactions
Insoluble in water.
Potential Exposure
5-Nitro-o-anisidine is a chemical intermediate
in the production of C.I. Pigment red 23, which is
used as a colorant for commodities, such as printing inks,
interior latex paints; lacquers, rubber, plastics, floor coverings;
paper coating; and textiles. It is also used with other
C.I. coupling components to produce various hues of red,
brown, yellow, and violet on cotton, silk, acetate and nylon.
Fire Hazard
Flash point data for this chemical are not available. 5-NITRO-O-ANISIDINE is probably combustible.
First aid
If this chemical gets into the eyes, remove any
