DOT CLASSIFICATION 5.1 Label Oxidizer SAFETY PROFILE A poison by ingestion. An irritant. A strong oxidant. Forms powerfully explosive mixtures with aluminum + ammonium nitrate + formamide + water, ammonium nitrate + hydrocarbon oils, ammonium nitrate + water-soluble fuels, and organic materials. When heated to decomposition it emits toxic fumes of NOx. See also NITRATES and CALCIUM COMPOUNDS. 

Aluminum oxide has a very large exothermic enthalpy of formation (AHf = -1670 kJ/mol). This property makes aluminum suitable for use in solid propellants for rockets such as those used for the space shuttle Columbia. When a mixture of aluminum and ammonium perchlorate (NH4CIO4) is ignited, aluminum is oxidized to AI2O3, and the heat liberated in the reaction causes the gases that are formed to expand with great force. This action lifts the rocket. 

CADMIUM OXIDE (1306-19-0) CdO Noncombustible solid. Violentreaction with magnesium in the presence of heat. Forms explosive mixture with aluminum, ammonium perchlorate chlorine trifluoride. Explodes or ignites on contact with hyi-azinium nitrate, hydrogen peroxide (90%), hydrogen sulfide, hydrogen trisulfide, lithium. Can increase the thermal and explosive sensitivity of nitroalkanes,... 

BORATO CALCICO (Spanish) (10102-75-7) A strong oxidizer. Violent reaction with combustible materials, reducing agents. Contact with strong acids forms hydrogen bromide. Incompatible with aluminum, ammonium salts, arsenic, carbon, copper, metal powder, organic matter, sulfides, sulfur, phosphorus. 

COBALT BIS(NITRATE) (10141-05-6 10026-22-9, hexahydrate) A strong oxidizer. Violent reaction with reducing agents, powdered aluminum, ammonium hexa-cyanoferrate(ll), boron phosphide, carbon, combustible materials, cyanide, esters, fuels, organic materials, sodium hypophosphite, phosphorus, sodium cyanide, stannous chloride, thiocyanates. Incompatible with acetylene. 

HEXAHYDRATE (10377-60-3) A powerful oxidizer. Reacts violently with dimethyl-formamide, reducing agents, combustible materials, fuels, organic substances, metal powders, potassium hexanitrocobalite(III) (C.I. pigment yellow), sodium acetylide, and easily oxidizable matter.
