International Chemical Safety Cards HYDROXYLAMINE HYDROCHLORIDE ICSC: 0709 HYDROXYLAMINE HYDROCHLORIDE Hydroxylammonium chloride Oxammonium hydrochloride Hydroxylaminium chloride NH2OH.HCl Molecular mass: 69.5 CAS # 5470-11-1 RTECS # NC3675000 ICSC # 0709 EC # 612-123-00-2 TYPES OF HAZARD/ EXPOSURE ACUTE HAZARDS/ SYMPTOMS PREVENTION FIRST AID/ FIRE FIGHTING FIRE Not combustible. Gives off irritating or toxic fumes (or gases) in a fire. In case of fire in the surroundings: all extinguishing agents allowed. EXPLOSION   EXPOSURE PREVENT DISPERSION OF DUST! STRICT HYGIENE! INHALATION Blue lips or finger nails. Blue skin. Headache. Dizziness. Nausea. Confusion. Convulsions. Unconsciousness. Ventilation (not if powder). Local exhaust or breathing protection. Fresh air, rest. Refer for medical attention. SKIN Redness. Pain (see Inhalation). Protective gloves. Remove contaminated clothes. Rinse skin with plenty of water or shower. Refer for medical attention. EYES Redness. Pain. Safety goggles, or eye protection in combination with breathing protection if powder. First rinse with plenty of water for several minutes (remove contact lenses if easily possible), then take to a doctor. INGESTION (See Inhalation). Do not eat, drink, or smoke during work. Rinse mouth. Give a slurry of activated charcoal in water to drink. Refer for medical attention. SPILLAGE DISPOSAL STORAGE PACKAGING & LABELLING Do NOT wash away into sewer. Sweep spilled substance into containers; if appropriate, moisten first to prevent dusting (extra personal protection: P2 filter respirator for harmful particles). Dry.

International Chemical Safety Cards HYDROXYLAMINE HYDROCHLORIDE ICSC: 0709 I M P O R T A N T D A T A PHYSICAL STATE; APPEARANCE: COLOURLESS HYGROSCOPIC CRYSTALS. PHYSICAL DANGERS: CHEMICAL DANGERS: The substance decomposes slowly on contact with moisture. Upon heating, toxic fumes are formed. The solution in water is a weak acid. OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE LIMITS (OELs): TLV not established. ROUTES OF EXPOSURE: The substance can be absorbed into the body by inhalation of its aerosol, through the skin and by ingestion. INHALATION RISK: Evaporation at 20°C is negligible; a harmful concentration of airborne particles can, however, be reached quickly by dispersing. EFFECTS OF SHORT-TERM EXPOSURE: The substance irritates the eyes, the skin and the respiratory tract. The substance may cause effects on the red blood cells , resulting in formation of methaemoglobin. Medical observation is indicated. EFFECTS OF LONG-TERM OR REPEATED EXPOSURE: Repeated or prolonged contact may cause skin sensitization. PHYSICAL PROPERTIES Melting point (decomposes): (see Notes) 151-152°C Relative density (water = 1): 1.7 Solubility in water, g/100 ml at 17°C: 83

ENVIRONMENTAL DATA
N O T E S
Some references give a melting point (under decomposition) of 151-152°C, while one of them contains a warning for explosion on heating above 115°C. Depending on the degree of exposure, periodic medical examination is indicated. Specific treatment is necessary in case of poisoning with this substance; the appropriate means with instructions must be available.
