Strontium chlorate (7791-10-8)

1.Reactivity Profile: Strontium chlorate is a strong oxidizing agent. Forms a flammable mixture with combustible materials (can be ignited by friction). Such mixtures may be explosive Contact with concentrated sulfuric acid can cause fires or explosions. When mixed with ammonium salts, spontaneous decomposition and ignition may result. Liberates explosive chlorine dioxide gas in the presence of strong acid; heating with a dibasic organic acid in the presence of moisture liberates chlorine dioxide and carbon dioxide  Mixtures with ammonium salts, powdered metals, silicon, sulfur, or sulfides are readily ignited and potentially explosive
2.Health Hazard :TOXIC; inhalation, ingestion or contact (skin, eyes) with vapors, dusts or substance may cause severe injury, burns or death. Fire may produce irritating and/or toxic gases. Toxic fumes or dust may accumulate in confined areas (basement, tanks, hopper/tank cars, etc.). Runoff from fire control or dilution water may cause pollution.
3.Fire Hazard :May explode from friction, heat or contamination. These substances will accelerate burning when involved in a fire. May ignite combustibles (wood, paper, oil, clothing, etc.). Some will react explosively with hydrocarbons (fuels). Containers may explode when heated. Runoff may create fire or explosion hazard.
