Air & Water Reaktionen
Highly flammable. Insoluble in water.
Reaktivit?t anzeigen
Nitroalkanes, such as NITROSTARCH, range from slight to strong oxidizing agents. If mixed with reducing agents, including hydrides, sulfides and nitrides, they may begin a vigorous reaction that culminates in a detonation. Nitroalkanes are milder oxidizing agents, but still react violently with reducing agents at higher temperature and pressures. Nitroalkanes react with inorganic bases to form explosive salts. The presence of metal oxides increases the thermal sensitivity of nitroalkanes. Nitroalkanes with more than one nitro group are generally explosive. Nitroalkanes are insoluble in water.
Hazard
Flammable, dangerous fire risk, severe
explosion risk when dry.
Health Hazard
Some are toxic and may be fatal if inhaled, swallowed or absorbed through skin. Contact may cause burns to skin and eyes. Fire may produce irritating, corrosive and/or toxic gases. Runoff from fire control or dilution water may cause pollution.
Sicherheitsprofil
A very dangerous fire
and explosion hazard when exposed to heat,
flame, shock, or oxidizers. It is a powerful
high explosive. Nitrostarch is not a definite
compound, but a mixture of various nitric
acid esters of starch with different degrees
of nitration. When heated to decomposition
it emits toxic fumes of NOx. See also
NITRO COMPOUNDS.
