| Specification: |
?Sodium Chlorite (CAS NO.7758-19-2)?is also named as Alcide LD ; CCRIS 1426 ; Caswell No. 755 ; Chlorite sodium ; Chlorous acid, sodium salt ; EPA Pesticide Chemical Code 020502 ; HSDB 733 ; Neo Silox D ; Textile ; Textone ; UNII-G538EBV4VF .?Sodium Chlorite (CAS NO.7758-19-2) is white flakes. It is?soluble in water. It is corrosive to skin and/or metals.?Sodium Chlorite is an oxidizing agent. Can react with acids to form spontaneously explosive chlorine dioxide gas (ClO2). Reacts with ammonia to produce ammonium chlorite, which is shock-sensitive. Finely divided metallic or organic substances in dry mixture with chlorites are highly flammable and may be ignited on friction. A mixture of organic matter and solid sodium chlorite can be extremely sensitive to heat, impact, or friction. Sodium chlorite reacts very violently with organic materials containing divalent sulfur or with free sulfur (may ignite).?Inhalation, ingestion or skin contact with Sodium Chlorite may cause severe injury or death. Contact with molten substance may cause severe burns to skin and eyes. 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. Substance itself does not burn but may decompose upon heating to produce corrosive and/or toxic fumes. Some are oxidizers and may ignite combustibles (wood, paper, oil, clothing, etc.). Contact with metals may evolve flammable hydrogen gas. Containers may explode when heated. |
