Muratic Acid
CompositionComponents CAS No. % by wt. TLV Sodium Hypochlorite 7647-01-0 31-35% ACGIH CEILING 5 ppm Water 7732-18-5 65.0-69.0% not established FIRE AND EXPLOSION DATA Flash Point: not available Flammable limits: non flammable Extinguishing media: N/A Special Firing Fighting Procedure: Firefighters should wear full protective clothing and OSHA/NIOSH self-contained breathing apparatus. Water fog will be most effective for controlling HCL vapors. Fire and explosion Hazards: Hydrochloric acid does not decompose at temperatures below 1500 degrees C. It is non flammable; however flammable and potentially explosive hydrogen gas is generated from reaction with most metals. STABILITY AND REACTIVITY Chemical: Stable Conditions to avoid: To prevent ignition of hydrogen gas generated by muriatic acid, contact with most metals; smoking, flames and sparks should not be permitted in storage or handling areas. Hazardous Products of decomposition: Does not decompose Polymerization: Will NOT Occur.
Incompatibility: Most metals, Alkalies, metallic oxides, amines, esters, and certain other organics cause exothermic reactions, possibly violent. Carbonates , cyanides, sulfides yield toxic gas. Water reactive materials such as sulfuric acid, oleum, and acetic anhydride cause exothermic reaction.
Emergency Overview Corrosive; May cause severe skin and eye irritation or chemical burns to broken skin. Vapors extremely irritating to eyes and respiratory tract. HARMFUL AND POTENTIALLY FATAL IF SWALLOWED. INGESTION: Can cause corrosion of mucous membranes, severe esophageal burns and perforation of esophagus or stomach.
