Ammonia chemical incompatibilities

COPPER (7440-50-8) Cu The powder forms the friction-, heat-, or shock-sensitive explosive detonator, copper acetylide, with acetylene gas acetylenic compounds and ethylene oxides. The powder forms explosive materials with azides (e.g., sodium azide forms potentially explosive copper azide). Finely divided material forms friction-, heat-, or shock-sensitive explosive with powdered divided bromates, chlorates, and iodates of barimn, calcimn, magnesium, potassium, sodium, or zinc. Violent reaction, possibly explosive, when finely dispersed powder comes in contact with strong oxidizers ammonium nitrate alkynes, bromine vapor, calcium carbide, chlorine, ethylene oxide, hydrazine mononitrate, hydrogen peroxide, hydrogen sulfide, finely divided bromates, iodine, lead azide, potassium peroxide, sodium peroxide (incandescence), sulfuric acid. Incompatible with acids, anhydrous ammonia chemically active metals such as potassium, sodium, magnesium, and zinc, zirconium, strong bases. 

For example, crotonaldehyde is listed in Table 1 as belonging in Group 19 (Aldehydes). The Chart shows that chemicals in this group should be segregated from sulfuric and nitric acids, caustics, ammonia, and all types of amines (aliphatic, alkanol, and aromatic). According to note A, crotonaldehyde is also incompatible with non-oxidizing mineral acids. 

To fight fire, use alcohol foam, CO2, dr) chemical. Violent polymerization occurs on contact with ammonia, alkali hydroxides, amines, metallic potassium, acids, covalent halides (e.g., aluminum chloride, iron(III) chloride, tin(IV) chloride, aluminum oxide, iron oxide, rust). Explosive reaction with glycerol at 200°. Rapid compression of the vapor with air causes explosions. Incompatible with bases, alcohols, air, m-nitroaniline, trimethyl amine, copper, iron chlorides, iron oxides, magnesium perchlorate, mercaptans, potassium, tin chlorides, contaminants, alkane thiols, bromoethane. When heated to... 

OSHA PEL TWA 0.01 mg(Ag)/m3 ACGIH TLV TWA 0.01 mg(Ag)/m3 SAFETY PROFILE A poison by intraperitoneal route. Moderately toxic by ingestion. Flammable by chemical reaction an oxidizing agent. Explodes in contact with ammonia. Incompatible with CuO, (NH3 +... 

ACETIC ACID, LEAD(II) SALT TRIHYDRATE (6080-56-4) Pb(C2H302)2 3H20 Contact with acids forms acetic acid. Incompatible with oxidizers, bases, acetic acid alkalis, aUcylene oxides, ammonia, amines, bromates, carbonates, citrates, chlorides, chloral hydrate cresols, epichlorohydrin, hydrozoic acid, isocyanates, methyl isocyanoacetate, phenols, phosphates, salicylic acid sodium salicylate, sodium peroxyborate, potassium bromate resorcinol, salicylic acid, strong oxidizers, sulfates, sulfites, taimin, tartrates, tinctures trinitrobenzoic acid, urea nitrate. On small fires, use dry chemical, Halori, or CO2 extinguishers. 

ACETILUM ACIDILATUM (50-78-2) C9Hg04 Combustible solid. An organic acid. Powder or dust forms explosive mixture with air (flash point 482°F/250°C). Reacts with strong oxidizers, strong acids, strong bases. Contact with alkali hydroxides or carbonates may cause decomposition. Incompatible with acetanilide, acetaminophen, some alcohols, aliphatic amines alkanolamines, alkylene oxides amidopyrine, amines, ammonia, caustics, epichlorohydrin, hexamine, iron salts isocyanates, phenozone, phenobarbital sodium potassium iodide quinine salts sodium iodide stearates. Slowly hydrolyzes in moist air. On small fires, use AFFF, alcohol-resistant foam, dry chemical powder, or CO2 extinguishers. 

AMINOBENZENESULFONIC ACID or p-AMINOBENZENESULFONIC ACID (121-57-3) CsH NOjS HjO Decomposes on contact with strong acids, forming sulfur trioxide. The aqueous solution is acidic reaction with strong bases. Incompatible with alkylene oxides, aliphatic amines, alkanolamines, amides, ammonia, epichlorohydrin, organic anhydrides, isocyanates, oxidizers, vinyl acetate. On small fires, use dry chemical powder (such as Purple-K-Powder), Halon , water spray, or CO2 extinguishers.
