Phenol,2-methyldinitro-, sodium salt (9CI) (25641-53-6)

 Sodium dinitro-o-cresylate (CAS NO.25641-53-6) is also called 2-Methyldinitrophenol sodium salt ; DNOC-sodium ; Dinitro-o-cresol sodium salt ; Phenol, 2-methyldinitro-, sodium salt ; Phenol, 2-methyldinitro-, sodium salt (9CI) ; o-Cresol, dinitro-, sodium salt . Sodium dinitro-o-cresylate (CAS NO.25641-53-6), division 1.3C, is a solid or liquid which has a primary hazard of fire and either a blast hazard or a minor projection hazard or both, but not a mass explosion hazard. Under prolonged exposure to fire or heat they may explode. It is highly flammable. The compound, Sodium dinitro-o-cresylate (CAS NO.25641-53-6) is shock sensitive and classified as explosive. When heated to decomposition Sodium dinitro-o-cresylate emits toxic fumes of NOx. Organic nitrates may explode when shocked, exposed to heat or flame or by spontaneous chemical reaction.Sodium dinitro-o-cresylate must be stored in a cool, ventilated place, away from acute fire hazards and easily oxidized materials. Also reacts violently with Al; BP; cyanides; esters; PN₂H; P; NaCN; SnCl₂; sodium hypophosphite; thiocyanates. Dangerous disaster hazard due to fire and explosion hazard.They are powerful oxidizing agents which may cause violent reaction with reducing materials. Nitrates should be protected carefully in storage. 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.
