1. Product Identification
Synonyms: Saltpeter; niter; Nitric acid,
potassium salt
CAS No.: 7757-79-1
Molecular Weight: 101.1
Chemical Formula: KNO3
2. Composition/Information on Ingredients
Ingredient: Potassium Nitrate
CAS No.: 7757-79-1
Percent: 99 - 100%
Hazardous: Yes
3. Hazards Identification
Potential Acute Health Effects: Potassium Nitrate is hazardous in case of skin contact (irritant),
of eye contact (irritant), of ingestion, of inhalation (lung
irritant). Prolonged exposure may result in skin burns and
ulcerations. Over-exposure by inhalation may cause respiratory
irritation.
Potential Chronic Health Effects:
Carcinogenic Effects: Not available.
Mutagenic Effects: Not available.
Teratogenic
Effects: Not available.
Developmental Toxicity: Not available.
The substance may be toxic to blood, kidneys,
central nervous system (CNS). Repeated or prolonged exposure to the
substance can produce target organs damage.
4. First Aid Measures
Inhalation: If Potassium Nitrate is
inhaled, remove to fresh air. If breathing is difficult, give
oxygen. Get medical attention.
Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting unless
directed to do so by medical personnel. Never give anything by mouth
to an unconscious person. If large quantities of this material are
swallowed, call a physician immediately. Loosen tight clothing.
Skin Contact: Immediately flush skin
with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while removing
contaminated clothing and shoes. Get medical attention. Wash
clothing before reuse. Thoroughly clean shoes before reuse.
Eye Contact: Check for and remove any contact lenses. In case
of contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least
15 minutes. Get medical attention.
5. Fire Fighting Measures
Fire: Potassium Nitrate is not
combustible, but substance is a strong oxidizer and its heat of
reaction with reducing agents or combustibles may cause ignition.
Explosion: Some nitrates may explode when shocked, exposed to
heat or flame, or by spontaneous chemical reaction. Sealed
containers may rupture when heated. Sensitive to
mechanical impact.
Fire Extinguishing Media: Dry chemical, carbon dioxide,
Halon, water spray, or fog. If water is
used, apply from as far a distance as possible. Water spray may be
used to keep fire exposed containers cool. Do not allow water runoff
to enter sewers or waterways.
Special Information: Wear full protective clothing and
breathing equipment for high-intensity fire or potential explosion
conditions. This oxidizing material can increase the flammability of
adjacent combustible materials.
6. Accidental Release Measures
Small Spill: Use appropriate
tools to put the spilled solid in a convenient waste disposal
container.
Large Spill: Oxidizing material. Stop leak if without risk. Avoid contact with a combustible material
(wood, paper, oil, clothing...). Keep substance
damp using water spray. Do not touch spilled material. Prevent entry
into sewers, basements or confined areas; dike if needed. Call for
assistance on disposal.
7. Handling and Storage
Keep Potassium Nitrate in a tightly closed container, stored in a cool, dry, ventilated area. Protect against physical damage and moisture. Isolate from any source of heat or ignition. Avoid storage on wood floors. Separate from incompatibles, combustibles, organic or other readily oxidizable materials. Containers of Potassium Nitrate may be hazardous when empty since they retain product residues (dust, solids); observe all warnings and precautions listed for the product.
8. Exposure Controls/Personal Protection
Airborne Exposure Limits: None
established.
Ventilation System: A system of local and/or general exhaust
is recommended to keep employee exposures as low as possible. Local
exhaust ventilation is generally preferred because it can control
the emissions of the contaminant at its source, preventing
dispersion of it into the general work area.
Personal Respirators (NIOSH Approved):
For conditions of use where exposure to dust or mist is apparent and
engineering controls are not feasible, a particulate respirator
(NIOSH type N95 or better filters) may be worn. If oil particles
(e.g. lubricants, cutting fluids, glycerin, etc.) are present, use a
NIOSH type R or P filter. For emergencies or instances where the exposure
levels are not known, use a full-face positive-pressure, air-supplied
respirator.
Skin Protection: Wear impervious
protective clothing, including boots, gloves, lab coat, apron or
coveralls, as appropriate, to prevent skin contact.
Eye Protection: Use chemical safety goggles and/or full face
shield where dusting or splashing of solutions is possible. Maintain
eye wash fountain and quick-drench facilities in work area.
