Section 5: Reactivity Data
Sensitivity to mechanical impact ----------------- No
Sensitivity to Static Discharge ----------------- No
Chemical Stability ----------------- Decomposes at 350 F
Hazardous Polymerization ----------------- Not available
Conditions of Reactivity ----------------- Calcium chloride will: Corrode most metals exposed to air; attack
aluminium (and its alloys) and yellow brass; react with sulphuric acid to
form hydrogen chloride which is corrosive, irritating and reactive; give an
exothermic reaction with water-reactive materials such as sodium; result
in a runaway polymerisation reaction with methyl vinyl ether (Bretherick
1979); and, in a solution form react with zinc (galvanizing) to yield
hydrogen gas which is explosive.
Hazardous Decomposition ----------------- None
Section 6: Toxicological Properties
Route of entry into the body ----------------- EYES, SKIN, INGESTION, INHALATION
Eects of acute exposure to product ----------------- EYES: May cause moderate to severe eye irritation with corneal injury,
which may be slow to heal, when dissolving. The heat produced may
cause more intense eects as well as thermal burns.SKIN: Not likely to
cause signicant skin irritation.
INHALATION: Dust can be irritating.
INGESTION: Single dose oral toxicity is low. Ingestion may cause
gastrointestinal irritation or ulceration.
Eects of chronic exposure to product ----------------- SKIN: may cause skin irritation, even burn. May cause more severe
response if skin is damp and/or abraded, or if material is conned to
skin. When dissolving, the heat produced may cause more intense
eects as well as thermal burns. EYES, INHALATION and INGESTION:
see “Acute Eects” above.
