thesis.
A yellow solid. Toxic by inhalation and skin absorption. Primary hazard is fire with either a minor blast or projection hazard or both, but no mass explosion hazard. May explode under prolonged exposure to heat.
Sodium picramate can react vigorously with reducing agents, including hydrides, sulfides and nitrides, leading to a detonation. Emits toxic fumes when heated to decomposition.
Dangerous fire and explosion hazard when
dry. Toxic by ingestion and skin absorption.
Fire may produce irritating, corrosive and/or toxic gases.
MAY EXPLODE AND THROW FRAGMENTS 1600 meters (1 MILE) OR MORE IF FIRE REACHES CARGO.
Flammability and Explosibility
Not classified
Poison by ingestion. A
flammable solid and explosive. When heated
to decomposition it emits toxic fumes of
NOx and Na2O. See also PICRAMIC
ACID.
