Safety Description:Poison by inhalation. Moderately toxic by ingestion. A severe eye, skin, and mucous membrane irritant. Corrosive to body tissues. Flammable by chemical reaction. Explosive reaction with chlorine dioxide + chlorine, sodium, urea + heat. Reacts to form explosive products with carbamates, 3′-methyl-2-nitrobenzanilide (product explodes on contact with air). Ignites on contact with fluorine. Reacts violently with moisture, ClO₃, hydroxylamine, magnesium oxide, nitrobenzene, phosphorus(III) oxide, K. To fight fire, use CO₂, dry chemical. Incompatible with aluminum, chlorine dioxide, chlorine, diphosphorus trioxide, fluorine, hydroxylamine, magnesium oxide, 3′-methyl-2-nitrobenzanilide, nitrobenzene, sodium, urea, water. Will react with water or steam to produce heat and toxic and corrosive fumes. Used as a catalyst, chlorinating and dehydrating agent. When heated to decomposition it emits highly toxic fumes of Cl⁻ and PO_x.
