Antimony lactate is a noncombustible, tansolid. Molecular weight= 388.98. Soluble in water.Antimony lactate may be contaminated with arsenic or othertoxic substances.
Antimony lactate is a noncombustible, tan
solid.
Mordant in fabric dyeing.
ANTIMONY LACTATE is an odorless, tan colored solid. ANTIMONY LACTATE is toxic by inhalation or ingestion. When exposed to high temperatures ANTIMONY LACTATE may release highly toxic antimony fumes. ANTIMONY LACTATE is used in fabric dyes.
Salts, basic, such as ANTIMONY LACTATE, are generally soluble in water. The resulting solutions contain moderate concentrations of hydroxide ions and have pH's greater than 7.0. They react as bases to neutralize acids. These neutralizations generate heat, but less or far less than is generated by neutralization of the bases in reactivity group 10 (Bases) and the neutralization of amines. They usually do not react as either oxidizing agents or reducing agents but such behavior is not impossible. Special Hazards of Combustion Products: Toxic oxides of nitrogen or ammonia gas may form in fires [USCG, 1999].
Highly toxic, may be fatal if inhaled, swallowed or absorbed through skin. Avoid any skin contact. Effects of contact or inhalation may be delayed. Fire may produce irritating, corrosive and/or toxic gases. Runoff from fire control or dilution water may be corrosive and/or toxic and cause pollution.
Non-combustible, substance itself does not burn but may decompose upon heating to produce corrosive and/or toxic fumes. Containers may explode when heated. Runoff may pollute waterways.
A poison. See also

heated to decomposition it emits toxic
fumes of Sb.
Antimony lactate is used in fabric
dyeing.
If this chemical gets into the eyes, remove anycontact lenses at once and irrigate immediately for at least15 min, occasionally lifting upper and lower lids. Seek medical attention immediately. If this chemical contacts theskin, remove contaminated clothing and wash immediatelywith soap and water. Seek medical attention immediately. Ifthis chemical has been inhaled, remove from exposure,begin rescue breathing (using universal precautions, including resuscitation mask) if breathing has stopped and CPR ifheart action has stopped. Transfer promptly to a medicalfacility. When this chemical has been swallowed, get medical attention. Give large quantities of water and inducevomiting. Do not make an unconscious person vomit.
Color Code—Blue: Health Hazard/Poison: Store ina secure poison location. Prior to working with this chemicalyou should be trained on its proper handling and storage.Store in tightly-closed containers in a cool, well-ventilatedarea away from heat, acids, and oxidizers.
UN1550 Antimony lactate, Hazard Class: 6.1;
Labels: 6.1-Poisonous materials.
Contact with strong oxidizers (chlorates,
permanganates, peroxides and nitrates) may cause a violent
reaction. Contact with acids can produce deadly stibine gas.
Consult with environmental
regulatory agencies for guidance on acceptable disposal
practices. Generators of waste containing this contaminant
(≥100 kg/mo) must conform with EPA regulations governing
storage, transportation, treatment, and waste disposal.
