lumps; rosin odor. Insoluble in water; soluble in
acid, amyl acetate, butyl acetate, ether, amyl alco-
hol.
Uses
Waterproofing; manufacturing paint driers,
porcelains, perfumes, cosmetics, enamels; coating
for fabrics, wood, paper; tanning leather.
General Description
CALCIUM RESINATE is a grayish white to yellow amorphous powder which can be fused into grayish lumps. If CALCIUM RESINATE comes in contact with air, spontaneous heating may result. This heat may be sufficient to ignite the material itself or surrounding combustible material. CALCIUM RESINATE is insoluble in water.
Air & Water Reactions
Highly flammable. Insoluble in water. Spontaneously heat in the presence of air and moisture. This heat may be sufficient to ignite surrounding combustible materials [AAR 1991].
Reactivity Profile
Inorganic reducing agents, such as CALCIUM RESINATE, react with oxidizing agents to generate heat and products that may be flammable, combustible, or otherwise reactive. Their reactions with oxidizing agents may be violent.
Hazard
Flammable, dangerous fire risk, sponta-
neous heating.
Health Hazard
Inhalation of fumes from heated chemical may cause irritation of nose and throat. Ingestion causes irritation of nose and throat. Contact with eyes causes irritation. Contact of molten material with skin causes burns.
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.
Flammability and Explosibility
Not classified
Safety Profile
Flammable solid when
heated; can react with oxidzing materials.
When heated to decomposition it emits
acrid smoke and fumes. See also CALCIUM
COMPOUNDS.
