2006-06 Hydrochloric Acid HYD2200 <br /> NITRILE...................................Best selection <br /> NATURAL RUBBER...............Satisfactory;may degrade after 4 hours continuous immersion <br /> NATURAL+NEOPRENE.........Satisfactory;may degrade after 4 hours continuous immersion <br /> NAT+NEOPR+NITRILE.........Poor to dangerous choice for other than short-term immersion <br /> Section 9 - Physical and Chemical Properties <br /> Appearance/General Info:Hydrogen chloride: Colorless,corrosive gas.Pungent suffocating odor.White fumes in <br /> moist air. Soluble in methanol,ethanol,ether and benzene. <br /> Hydrochloric acid: Clear to light yellow(orange tint for inhibited grades)fuming corrosive liquid with sharp, <br /> suffocating odor. <br /> Physical State: Hydrogen chloride: Compressed gas; pH:Hydrochloric acid:< 1 <br /> Hydrochloric acid: Liquid Boiling Point: -85 °C(-121 °F) <br /> Odor Threshold: 0.26 to 0.3 ppm Freezing/Melting Point: -114.44°C(-173.992°F) <br /> Vapor Pressure(kPa):<24.8 at 25 °C Volatile Component(%Vol): 100 <br /> Vapor Density(Air=1): 1.268 at 20°C Decomposition Temperature(°C):Not applicable <br /> Formula Weight: 36.461 Water Solubility: 56.1 g/100 cc hot water at 60°C <br /> Specific Gravity(H20=1,at 4°C):< 1.19 at 20°C <br /> Evaporation Rate: Slow <br /> Section 10 - Stability and Reactivity <br /> Stability/Polymerization/Conditions to Avoid: Decomposes in the presence of moisture to produce corrosive acid. <br /> May generate sufficient heat to ignite combustible materials.Presence of heat source and direct sunlight(ultra-violet <br /> radiation).Product is considered stable under normal handling conditions.Hazardous polymerization will not occur. <br /> Storage Incompatibilities:Hydrogen chloride: Segregate from most common metals and their alloys,alkalis, <br /> unsaturated organics,fluorine,metal carbides,metal acetylides,potassium permanganate and sulfuric acid. <br /> Compatibility with plastics should be confirmed prior to use. <br /> Hydrochloric acid: Segregate from alkalies,oxidizing agents and chemicals readily decomposed by acids,i.e. <br /> cyanides,sulfides,carbonates.Avoid storage with metals,metal oxides,hydroxides,amines,carbonates,alkaline <br /> materials,acetic anhydride,cyanides,sulphides,sulphites,phosphides,acetylides,borides,carbides,silicides,vinyl <br /> acetate,formaldehyde and potassium permanganate.Reacts with zinc,brass,galvanized iron,aluminum,copper and <br /> copper alloys. <br /> Section 11 - Toxicological Information <br /> Toxici <br /> Inhalation(human)LC,,.: 1300 ppm/30 in <br /> Inhalation(human)LC,,.: 3000 ppm/5 in <br /> Inhalation(rat)LC5,: 3124 ppm/60 in <br /> Inhalation(rat)LC5,:4701 ppm/30 in <br /> Oral(rat)LD,O: 900 mg/kg <br /> Irritation <br /> Eye(rabbit): 5 mg/30 s-mild <br /> See RTECS MW 4025000,for additional data. <br /> Section 12 - Ecological Information <br /> Environmental Fate:No data found. <br /> Ecotoxicity: TL.Gambusia affinis(mosquito fish)282 ppm/96 hr(fresh water)/Conditions of bioassay not specified; <br /> Lethal Lepomis macrochirus(bluegill sunfish)3.6 mg/l/48 hr/Conditions of bioassay not specified;LC,,Cockle 330 <br /> to 1,000 mg/1/48 hr/Conditions of bioassay not specified;LC5,Carassius auratus(goldfish) 178 mg/l(1 to 2 hr <br /> survival time)/Conditions of bioassay not specified;LC,,Shore crab 240 mg/1/48 hr/Conditions of bioassay not <br /> specified;LCso Shrimp 100 to 330 ppm/48 hr(salt water)/Conditions of bioassay not specified;LC,00 Trout 10 mg/124 <br /> hr/Conditions of bioassay not specified <br /> Biochemical Oxygen Demand(BOD):none <br /> Section 13 - Disposal Considerations <br /> Disposal: Recycle wherever possible.Consult manufacturer for recycling options.Treat and neutralize at an effluent <br /> treatment plant.Bury residue in an authorized landfill.Decontaminate empty containers with a lime slurry.Return <br /> empty containers to supplier or bury empty containers at an authorized landfill. <br /> Return empty cylinders to supplier. <br /> Copyright©2006 Genium Group,Inc.Any commercial use or reproduction without the publisher's permission is prohibited.
