See Section 9 for Flammability Properties 

Negligible fire hazard. Oxidizer. May ignite or explode on contact with combustible materials. 

Use water only. Do not use dry chemicals, carbon dioxide or halogenated extinguishing agents. 

Flood with water. Avoid inhalation of material or combustion by-products. Move container from fire area if it can be done without risk. Cool containers with water spray until well after the fire is out. 

Avoid contact with combustible materials. Do not touch spilled material. Stop leak if possible without personal risk. Reduce vapors with water spray. Do not get water inside container. Small liquid spills: Flood with water. Keep unnecessary people away, isolate hazard area and deny entry. Notify Local Emergency Planning Committee and State Emergency Response Commission for release greater than or equal to RQ (U.S. SARA Section 304). If release occurs in the U.S. and is reportable under CERCLA Section 103, notify the National Response Center at (800)424-8802 (USA) or (202)426-2675 (USA). 

Store and handle in accordance with all current regulations and standards. See original container for storage recommendations. Store with acids. Keep separated from incompatible substances. Provide fire protection and spill control systems suitable for the hazards of the material. 

Component Exposure Limits 

Biological limit value 

Provide local exhaust ventilation system. Ensure compliance with applicable exposure limits. 

Eyes/Face Wear splash resistant safety goggles. Provide an emergency eye wash fountain and quick drench shower in the immediate work area. 

Wear appropriate chemical resistant clothing. 

Wear appropriate chemical resistant gloves. 

Under conditions of frequent use or heavy exposure, respiratory protection may be needed. Respiratory protection is ranked in order from minimum to maximum. Consider warning properties before use. Any chemical cartridge respirator with acid gas cartridge(s). Any chemical cartridge respirator with a full facepiece and acid gas cartridge(s). Any air-purifying respirator with a full facepiece and an acid gas canister. For Unknown Concentrations or Immediately Dangerous to Life or Health - Any supplied-air respirator with a full facepiece that is operated in a pressure-demand or other positive-pressure mode in combination with an auxiliary self-contained breathing apparatus operated in pressure-demand or other positive-pressure mode. Any self-contained breathing apparatus that has a full facepiece and is operated in a pressure-demand or other positive-pressure mode. 

Stable at normal temperatures and pressure. 

Avoid contact with combustible materials. May ignite or explode on contact with combustible materials. Dangerous gases may accumulate in confined spaces. Keep out of water supplies and sewers.

FERRIC NITRATE May cause irritation.

FERRIC NITRATE No data available.

CORROSIVE SUBSTANCES Direct contact may cause severe irritation, pain, and possibly burns.

CORROSIVE SUBSTANCES: Effects depend on concentration and duration of exposure Repeated or prolonged contact may result in dermatitis or effects similar to acute exposure.

FERRIC NITRATE See information on corrosive substances.

CORROSIVE SUBSTANCES: Direct contact may cause severe irritation, pain and burns, possibly severe The degree of injury depends on the concentration and duration of contact The full extent of the injury may not be immediately apparent.

CORROSIVE SUBSTANCES: Effects depend on concentration and duration of exposure Repeated or prolonged contact may result in conjunctivitis or effects as in acute exposure.

FERRIC NITRATE See information on corrosive substances.

CORROSIVE SUBSTANCES: May cause immediate pain and severe burns of the mucous membranes There may be discoloration of the tissues Swallowing and speech may be difficult at first and then almost impossible The effects on the esophagus and gastrointestinal tract may range from irritation to severe corrosion Edema of the epiglottis and shock may occur IRON SALTS: Ten minutes to several hours after excessive ingestion of soluble iron salts, severe gastritis or gastroenteritis may develop with abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, hematemesis, watery or tarry diarrhea from corrosion of the gastric mucosa, dehydration, leukocytosis, and fever Metallic taste, restlessness, lethargy, hypotonia, coma, pallor, cyanosis, a fast or weak pulse, hypotension, hyperventilation due to acidosis, shock, vasomotor instability, and cardiovasuclar collapse may occur Severe cases may lead to death in 4 to 6 hours After an asymptomatic period of 12 to 72 hours, symptoms of the initial stage may recur Pneumonitis, pulmonary edema and hemorrhage, and convulsions may also be present Liver impairment with jaundice, hypoglycemia, multiple coagulation defects, kidney damage with anuria, pancreatic damage, vascular damage, hypovolemia, hemoconcentration, profound shock, and vascular collapse may develop At this stage, death may occur in one to three days or up to a week after ingestion, due to shock, hepatic failure, or pneumonia Survivors may display gastric scarring or obstruction, pyloric obstruction or stenosis, mild hepatic cirrhosis, and, in at least one reported instance, neurologic sequelae.

CORROSIVE SUBSTANCES: Depending on the concentration, repeated ingestion may cause effects as with acute ingestion IRON SALTS: Repeated therapeutic use of iron preparations may cause gastrointestinal tract irritation with nausea, vomiting, heartburn, anorexia, constipation, and diarrhea Chronic excessive iron intake can lead to hemosiderosis with possible damage to the liver and pancreas.

FERRIC NITRATE: Rarely, inorganic nitrates may be converted to nitrites by nitrate-reducing bacteria in the digestive tract, resulting in methemoglobinemia Repeated or prolonged exposure to nitrates may cause anemia, nephritis, and possibly methemoglobinemia See information on corrosive substances and iron salts.
