Product name: Hydrazine, anhydrous
DOT Class: 8
Placard type: Corrosive
ERG Guide: 132 (check current ERG)
Initial isolation: ERG 132: isolate spill 50m all directions; initial evacuation 100m; if tank/rail car involved in fire, isolate 800m all directions
Common Hazards of UN 2029
- Flammable/combustible material.
- May be ignited by heat, sparks or flames.
- Vapors may form explosive mixtures with air.
- Vapors may travel to source of ignition and flash back.
- Most vapors are heavier than air. They will spread along the ground and collect in low or confined areas
- Vapor explosion hazard indoors, outdoors or in sewers.
- Those substances designated with a (P) may polymerize explosively when heated or involved in a fire.
- Runoff to sewer may create fire or explosion hazard.

Alcohol-resistant foam, CO2, dry chemical; water spray for cooling
PPE Requirements
⚠️ Level A required; full encapsulation, SCBA, chemical-resistant suit due to corrosive vapors and skin absorption hazard
Isolation & Evacuation
ERG 132: isolate spill 50m all directions; initial evacuation 100m; if tank/rail car involved in fire, isolate 800m all directions
Always confirm protective actions with the current edition of the Emergency Response Guidebook (ERG Guide 132).
First Actions for a UN 2029 Incident
- CALL 911. Then call emergency response telephone number on shipping paper. If shipping paper
- Keep unauthorized personnel away.
- Stay upwind, uphill and/or upstream.
- Ventilate closed spaces before entering, but only if properly trained and equipped.
- Isolate spill or leak area for at least 50 meters (150 feet) in all directions.
- For highlighted materials: see Table 1 - Initial Isolation and Protective Action Distances.
- For non-highlighted materials: increase the immediate precautionary measure distance, in the downwind
