CAS No 517-25-9 , Methane, trinitro-

  • Name: Methane, trinitro-
  • Synonyms: Methane, trinitro-; Trinitromethane;Nitroform(6CI); Nitroform (explosive);
  • CAS Registry Number:
  • Transport: 0473
  • Flash Point: 73°C
  • Boiling Point: 175.1°Cat760mmHg
  • Density: 1.803g/cm3
  • Refractive index: 1.501
  • Safety Statements: Poison by ingestion and intraperitoneal routes. Moderately toxic by inhalation. Irritating to skin, eyes, and mucous membranes. Inhalation can cause headache and nausea. Causes mild narcosis. A very dangerous explosion hazard; explodes when heated rapidly. Dissolution is exothermic and solutions of more than 50% can explode. Mixtures of 90% trinitromethane + 10% isopropyl alcohol in polyethylene bottles have exploded. Frozen mixtures with 2-propanol (10%) explode when thawed. Can explode during distillation. Mixtures with divinyl ketone can explode at 4°C. When heated to decomposition it emits toxic fumes of NOx. See also NITRO COMPOUNDS.
  • Hazard Symbols: Explodes on heating, concentrations above 50% in air may explode.
