| Hazard Information | Back Directory | [Chemical Properties]
Yellow crystals or powder. Decomposes in water with liberation of methane. | [Uses]
In generating methane; reducing metal oxides; in manufacture of aluminum nitride. | [General Description]
A yellow powder or crystals. Used to make other chemicals. | [Air & Water Reactions]
Decomposes slowly in presence of water or moist air to generate heat and flammable methane gas [Merck 12th ed. 1989]. Consequently a dangerous fire risk. | [Reactivity Profile]
ALUMINUM CARBIDE is a reducing agent. May react vigorously with oxidizing materials. Incandescence on warming with lead dioxide or potassium permanganate, [Mellor, 1946, Vol. 5, 872]. | [Hazard]
Dangerous fire risk in contact with moisture. | [Health Hazard]
Inhalation or contact with vapors, substance or decomposition products may cause severe injury or death. May produce corrosive solutions on contact with water. Fire will produce irritating, corrosive and/or toxic gases. Runoff from fire control may cause pollution. | [Fire Hazard]
Produce flammable gases on contact with water. May ignite on contact with water or moist air. Some react vigorously or explosively on contact with water. May be ignited by heat, sparks or flames. May re-ignite after fire is extinguished. Some are transported in highly flammable liquids. Runoff may create fire or explosion hazard. |
