Hazard Predictions
- Generates heat: Exothermic reaction at ambient temperatures (releases heat)
In general, nitrate and nitrite salts with redox active cations are more reactive than nitrates with non-redox-active cations, when mixed with organic materials and reducing agents at ambient conditions. Redox active cations are transition metals and the metals in group 3a, 4a, and 5a of the periodic table and also include the ammonium cation NH4+. Caution should be used before proceeding. Further research of comparable examples in the literature or very small scale, carefully controlled experiments may be needed to fully assess compatibility.
Due to the high energy release and gas release potential potential of the azo, diazo, and azido materials, these mixtures should be given special attention and precaution.
