Further information : This product, if heated by an outside source to temperatures above 240 C (464
F), will undergo vigorous self-sustaining decomposition with the evolution of heat
and dense noxious gases.
When ignited, will burn with the evolution of noxious chlorine containing gases.
Do not let fire burn.
Nitrogen trichloride can be generated slowly by the reaction of small quantities of
water with a high concentration of this product. Nitrogen trichloride can present
an explosion hazard. Immediately after a fire has been extinguished, check for
wet or damp material. Any spilled material from burned or broken containers
should be assumed contaminated. Neutralize to a non-oxidizing material for safe
disposal. Do not attempt to re-close broken containers, even for movement to
the disposal area. They should be left open to disperse any nitrogen trichloride
that may form. Material which appears undamaged except for being damp on the
outside, should be opened and inspected immediately. If the plastic liner (where
applicable) of the container is damaged or the material is damp, the material
should be chemically treated if allowable, to a non-oxidizing material for safe
disposal. Bulging containers require extreme care. Contact the fire department.
