Fluorine chemical incompatibilities

DOT CLASSIFICATION 8 Label Corrosive SAFETY PROFILE Poison by inhalation. Moderately toxic by ingestion. A severe eye, skin, and mucous membrane irritant. Corrosive to body tissues. Flammable by chemical reaction. Explosive reaction with chlorine dioxide + chlorine, sodium, urea + heat. Reacts to form explosive products with carbamates, 3 -methyl-2-nitroben2anilide (product explodes on contact with air). Ignites on contact with fluorine. Reacts violently with moisture, CIO3, hydroxyl-amine, magnesium oxide, nitrobenzene, phosphorus(III) oxide, K. To fight fire, use CO2, dry chemical. Incompatible with aluminum, chlorine dioxide, chlorine. 

SAFETY PROFILE Confirmed carcinogen with experimental carcinogenic, neoplastigenic, and tumorigenic data. A deadly poison by intravenous route. Human systemic effects by inhalation lung fibrosis, dyspnea, and weight loss. Human mutation data reported. See also BERYLLIUM COMPOUNDS. A moderate fire hazard in the form of dust or powder, or when exposed to flame or by spontaneous chemical reaction. Slight explosion hazard in the form of powder or dust. Incompatible with halocarbons. Reacts incandescently with fluorine or chlorine. Mixtures of the powder with CCU or trichloroethylene will flash or spark on impact. When heated to decomposition in air it emits very toxic fumes of BeO. Reacts with Li and P. 

CARBONIC ACID, BARIUM SALT (513-77-9) BaCOj Noncombustible solid. The aqueous solution is basic. Dissolves in most acids except sulfuric acid with release of CO2 gas. This could be dangerous in a confined space. Incompatible with finely divided alxuninum bromine trifluoride fluorine, 2-furanpercarboxylic acid magnesium, oxidizers, sodium azide silicon strong alkalis. Decomposes above 2372°F/1300°C, releasing COj and soluble barium salts including barium oxide. On small fires, use dry chemical powder (such as Purple-K-Powder), foam, or CO2 extinguishers.
