ANTIMONY LACTATE Usage And Synthesis
Description
Antimony lactate is a noncombustible, tansolid. Molecular weight= 388.98. Soluble in water.Antimony lactate may be contaminated with arsenic or othertoxic substances.
Chemical Properties
Antimony lactate is a noncombustible, tan solid.
Uses
Mordant in fabric dyeing.
General Description
ANTIMONY LACTATE is an odorless, tan colored solid. ANTIMONY LACTATE is toxic by inhalation or ingestion. When exposed to high temperatures ANTIMONY LACTATE may release highly toxic antimony fumes. ANTIMONY LACTATE is used in fabric dyes.
Reactivity Profile
Salts, basic, such as ANTIMONY LACTATE, are generally soluble in water. The resulting solutions contain moderate concentrations of hydroxide ions and have pH's greater than 7.0. They react as bases to neutralize acids. These neutralizations generate heat, but less or far less than is generated by neutralization of the bases in reactivity group 10 (Bases) and the neutralization of amines. They usually do not react as either oxidizing agents or reducing agents but such behavior is not impossible. Special Hazards of Combustion Products: Toxic oxides of nitrogen or ammonia gas may form in fires [USCG, 1999].
Hazard
Toxic.
Health Hazard
Highly toxic, may be fatal if inhaled, swallowed or absorbed through skin. Avoid any skin contact. Effects of contact or inhalation may be delayed. Fire may produce irritating, corrosive and/or toxic gases. Runoff from fire control or dilution water may be corrosive and/or toxic and cause pollution.
Fire Hazard
Non-combustible, substance itself does not burn but may decompose upon heating to produce corrosive and/or toxic fumes. Containers may explode when heated. Runoff may pollute waterways.
Safety Profile
A poison. See also ANTIMONY COMPOUNDS. When heated to decomposition it emits toxic fumes of Sb.
Potential Exposure
Antimony lactate is used in fabric dyeing.
First aid
If this chemical gets into the eyes, remove anycontact lenses at once and irrigate immediately for at least15 min, occasionally lifting upper and lower lids. Seek medical attention immediately. If this chemical contacts theskin, remove contaminated clothing and wash immediatelywith soap and water. Seek medical attention immediately. Ifthis chemical has been inhaled, remove from exposure,begin rescue breathing (using universal precautions, including resuscitation mask) if breathing has stopped and CPR ifheart action has stopped. Transfer promptly to a medicalfacility. When this chemical has been swallowed, get medical attention. Give large quantities of water and inducevomiting. Do not make an unconscious person vomit.
storage
Color Code—Blue: Health Hazard/Poison: Store ina secure poison location. Prior to working with this chemicalyou should be trained on its proper handling and storage.Store in tightly-closed containers in a cool, well-ventilatedarea away from heat, acids, and oxidizers.
Shipping
UN1550 Antimony lactate, Hazard Class: 6.1; Labels: 6.1-Poisonous materials.
Incompatibilities
Contact with strong oxidizers (chlorates, permanganates, peroxides and nitrates) may cause a violent reaction. Contact with acids can produce deadly stibine gas.
Waste Disposal
Consult with environmental regulatory agencies for guidance on acceptable disposal practices. Generators of waste containing this contaminant (≥100 kg/mo) must conform with EPA regulations governing storage, transportation, treatment, and waste disposal.
