Chemical & Response Details
| Also known as | Corrosive oxidizing solidOxidizing corrosive solid NOSUN3084 |
| Appearance | Variable appearance depending on specific chemical; typically a solid material that is both corrosive and has oxidizing properties. May be crystalline, granular, or powder form with color varying by composition. |
| Flash Point | Not applicable (oxidizing solid) |
| Boiling Point | Not applicable (varies by specific substance) |
| Vapor Density | Not applicable (solid) |
| Water Reactivity | Reacts with water or moist air releasing toxic, corrosive, or flammable gases with significant heat generation |
| Extinguishing | Dry chemical, dry sand, or dry earth only; no water or foam due to violent reaction |
| PPE | ⚠️ Level A or B required; full face SCBA mandatory; chemical-resistant suit; avoid all contact with vapors, dusts, or substance |
| Isolation | ERG 157: isolate spill 25-50m all directions; if tank/rail car involved in fire, isolate 800m all directions and consider evacuation for 800m in all directions |
Chemical details are general reference only. Always verify with current SDS, ERG, and SOP/SOG.
Common hazards (high level)
- TOXIC and/or CORROSIVE; inhalation, ingestion or contact (skin, eyes) with vapors, dusts or substance
- Reaction with water or moist air may release toxic, corrosive or flammable gases.
- Reaction with water may generate much heat that will increase the concentration of fumes in the air.
- Fire will produce irritating, corrosive and/or toxic gases.
- Runoff from fire control or dilution water may be corrosive and/or toxic and cause environmental
- Non-combustible, substance itself does not burn but may decompose upon heating to produce corrosive
- UN1802, UN2032, UN3084, UN3093, UN1796 (above 50%), UN1826 (above 50%), and UN2031 (above
- Vapors may accumulate in confined areas (basement, tanks, hopper/tank cars, etc.).
First actions (field-minded)
- 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 in all directions for at least 50 meters (150 feet) for liquids and at least 25 meters
- 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
