General Description
A solution containing less than 40% by mass of the white crystalline solid in a nonvolatile solvent. Dilution moderates reactivity of the pure solvent. Irritating to the skin, eyes and mucous membranes.
Safety Profile
Poison by inhalation and ingestion. Severe irritant. A powerful oxidzing agent that is corrosive to the skin and mucous membranes. See also PEROXIDES, ORGANIC. Dangerous; shock or heat will cause detonation with evolution of toxic fumes; will react with water or steam to produce heat; can react vigorously with reducing materials. Flammable by spontaneous chemical reaction. To fight fire, use Con or dry chemical. When heated to decomposition it emits acrid smoke and fumes.
