nitrotoluene chemical properties

safety information

msds information

nitrotoluene usage and synthesis

general description	exists as either a yellow solid crystal or liquid. melting point 32 to 59°f. insoluble in water and soluble in alcohol. denser than water. toxic by ingestion, inhalation or skin contact. flash point 223°f. boiling point 428°f. produces toxic oxides of nitrogen during combustion.
air & water reactions	insoluble in water.
reactivity profile	p-nitrotoluene and sulfuric acid explode at 80°c [chem. eng. news 27:2504]. many explosions have occurred in the distillation of nitrotoluene owing to its heat sensitivity. may become unstable in the presence of strong bases.
health hazard	highly toxic, may be fatal if inhaled, swallowed or absorbed through skin. contact with molten substance may cause severe burns to skin and eyes. avoid any skin contact. effects of contact or inhalation may be delayed. fire may produce irritating, corrosive and/or toxic gases. runoff from fire control or dilution water may be corrosive and/or toxic and cause pollution.
fire hazard	combustible material: may burn but does not ignite readily. containers may explode when heated. runoff may pollute waterways. substance may be transported in a molten form.
