Safety | Poison by ingestion, intraperitoneal, and intravenous routes. An experimental teratogen. Other experimental reproductive effects. A corrosive irritant to skin, eyes, and mucous membranes. Cases of epileptiform convulsions have been reported from exposure. It is one of the most powerful high explosives in use today. Has more shattering power than TNT and is often mixed with TNT as a bursting charge for aerial bombs, mines, and torpedoes. It is easily initiated by mercury fulminate, which may be used as a booster. When heated to decomposition it emits toxic fumes of NOx. See also AMINES, NITRATES, and EXPLOSIVES, HIGH. | Risk Codes | 11-23/24/25-36/37/38 |
Molecular Structure | Hazard Symbols | High explosive, easily initiated by mercury fulminate. Toxic by inhalation and skin contact. TLV: 1.5 mg/m3. | |
