Please refer to Product Data Sheets, Certificates of <br />Confonniry or Certi ficates of Analysis for chemical and physical data fo r determinations of quality and for formulation purposes. <br />Appearance: Blue crystals or powder Odor: Odorless <br />P b ys ical State: Solid pR: 3.7-4.2(10%soln.) <br />Vapor Pressure: 20 torr at 22.5 deg C Vapor Density: 8.6 <br />Boiling Point: 560 deg C (I 040 deg F) [decomposes) Freezing/Melting Point: 150 deg C (302 deg F) <br />Solubility (H20): 31.6 gil 00 cc (@ 0 deg C) Specific Gravi ty: 2.28 @ 15.6 deg C (11 20 = 1) <br />Softening Point: Not available Particle S ize: Various <br />Molecular Weight: 249.68 B ulk Density: Not available <br />Flash Point: Not flammable Chemical Formula : CuS04*5Il20 <br />Upper F lammable Limit (UEL): Not applicable <br />Auto Ignition: Not applicab le <br />Rate of Burning: Not appl icable <br />Lower F lammable Limit (LEL): Not appl icable <br />Flammability C lassification: Not applicable <br />* * * Section 10 -Chemical Stability & Reactivity Information * * * <br />Chemical Stability <br />Copper Sulfate Pentahydrate is hy groscopic, but stable when kept dry, under nonnal temperature and pressures. <br />C hemical Stability: Conditions to Avoid <br />A void high temperatures, e.;xposure to ai r and incompatible materials. <br />Incompatibility <br />Copper Sulfate causes hydroxylamine to ignite and th e hydrated salt is vigorously reduced. Solutions of sodium hypobromite are <br />decomposed by powerful catalytic action of cupri c ions, even as impurities .. Copper salts, in c luding Copper Su i fate m ay react to form <br />exp losive acetylides when in contact with acety lene or njtromethane. Contact with reducing agents, can cause a vigorous reaction, <br />especially in solu tion. Thi s product can corrode aluminum, steel and iron. Copper Sulfate Pentahydrate is inco mpatible w ith <br />magnesium, strong bases, alkalines, phosphates, acety lene, hydrazi n e, and z ircon ium. <br />Hazardous Decomposition <br />Sulfur oxides and Copper oxides. <br />Hazardous Polymerization Will not occur. <br />*** Section 11 -Toxicological Information * * * <br />Acute and Chronic Toxicity <br />A: General Product lnfo•·mation <br />Acute toxicity is largely due to the con·osive (ac idic) prope11ies of this material. I !armful o r fatal if swall owed. Product is an eye and <br />skin irritant, and may cause burns. Product is a respiratory tract irritant, and inhalation may cause nose irritation, so re throat, <br />coughing, and chest tightness and possibly, ulceration and perforation of th e nasal septum. <br />Chronic: Long term ski n overell:pos ure to this product may lead to dermatitis a nd eczema. Prolonged or repeated eye contact may <br />cause conjunctivitis and possibly corneal abnormalities. Chronic overexposure to this product may cause liver and kidney damage, <br />a nemia and other blood cell abnormalities. <br />B: Component Analysis-L050 /LC50 <br />C opper Sulfate Pentahydrate (7758-99-8) <br />Oral-rat LD50 = 330 mglkg (testing done June 2006 , Consumer Product Testing Co., In c.); Intraperitoneal-Rat LD50 : 18,700 mg/kg; <br />Jnb·aperiton eal -rat L050: 20 mg!kg; Subcutaneo us-rat LD50 : 43 mglkg; Tntravenous-rat LD50: 48900 ~Lg/kg; Unreported-rat LD50: 520 <br />mg/kg; Oral-mouse LD5o: 369 mg!kg; Intraperitoneal-Mouse LD50: 33 mglkg; Intraperitonea l-mouse LD50: 7182 !lg/kg; Intravenous-mouse <br />LDso: 23300 !lg/kg <br />Iss ue Date: 09/09/9 8 13:.25:58 Cl W Page 6 ofl4 Revi sion Date: 01 /14/20 15 I 3:00 CST <br />6.3.A. - Page 141
