Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Results:
The substance decomposes on heating to 200 °C, producing toxic and corrosive fumes, causing fire and explosion hazard. The substance is a strong oxidant and reacts violently with combustible and reducing materials. Reacts violently with acids, ammonium compounds, phosphorus, sulfur, sodium dithionate, causing explosion hazard.
