Acids, Strong Non-oxidizing mixed with
Isocyanates and Isothiocyanates

Hazard Predictions

Isocyanates react readily with acids at room temperature (Richter, Reinhard H., Ralph D. Priester Jr. 2000. Isocyanates, Organic. In Kirk-Othmer Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology. John Wiley & Sons, Inc. (Online)).

Potassium or sodium cyanate may react with stearic or oxalic acid in dry anhydrous conditions to liberate toxic HNCO gas (Fischer, G., Geith, J., Klapstke, T. M., And Krumm, B. Z. Naturforsch: "Synthesis, Properties and Dimerization Study of Isocyanic Acid" 57 b, 19-24 (2002).

Inorganic acids may liberate toxic H2S, and HCN gases upon exposure to isocyanates and isothiocyanates (Predicted).

Acids may release toxic HCN gas when mixed with isocyanates or isothiocyanate. May also produce flammable and toxic H2S gas with isothiocyanates (Predicted).
