Flammability: Powerful oxidizing material. Forms explosive mixtures with combustible,

organic or other easily oxidizable materials. These mixtures are easily

ignited by friction or heat.

Handling: Protect containers against physical damage. Separate from combustible,

organic or other readily oxidizable materials, acids, ammonium salts, sulfur

and flammable vapors. Avoid storage on wood floors. Immediately remove

and dispose of any spilled chlorate. Wear rubber gloves, face shield and

coverall.

Emergency Treatment and Measures:

a. Hygienic Precautions: Encourage personal cleanliness. Provide instructions to

exposed personnel.

b. First Aid: If swallowed, call a physician.

c. Fire Precautions (In case of outbreak): Flood with water.

Spills:

Cover with weak reducing agents such as hypo, bisulfites or ferrous salts.

Bisulfites or ferrous salts need additional promoter of some 3M-H2SO4 to

accelerate reaction. Transfer the slurry (or sludge) into a large container of

water and neutralize with soda ash. Drain into a sewer with abundant water.

Potassium dichromate K2Cr2O7

Synonyms: Potassium bichromate, Red chromate of potash.

Life Hazard: Highly toxic. A recognized carcinogen. A moderate fire hazard by

chemical reaction. A powerful oxidizer. Dust may cause skin and nasal

irritation. Strong solutions can irritate the skin. Hazardous reaction with:
