PHYSICAL STATE; APPEARANCE:
WHITE , HYGROSCOPIC POWDER.

PHYSICAL DANGERS:


CHEMICAL DANGERS:
The solution in water is a strong base, it reacts violently with acid and is corrosive to aluminium, tin and zinc. Reacts with ammonium salts causing fire hazard.

OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE LIMITS:
TLV: (Borate compounds, inorganic) 2 mg/m3 as TWA, 6 mg/m3 as STEL; A4 (not classifiable as a human carcinogen); (ACGIH 2005).


ROUTES OF EXPOSURE:
The substance can be absorbed into the body by inhalation of its aerosol and by ingestion.

INHALATION RISK:
Evaporation at 20°C is negligible; a harmful concentration of airborne particles can, however, be reached quickly when dispersed .

EFFECTS OF SHORT-TERM EXPOSURE:
The substance is corrosive to the eyes, the skin and the respiratory tract. Corrosive on ingestion. Medical observation is indicated.

EFFECTS OF LONG-TERM OR REPEATED EXPOSURE:

PHYSICAL
PROPERTIES

Melting point: 1650°C
Density: >1.5
