Hazard Corrosive to skin and tissue. TLV: 0.1 ppm. Explodes on contact with water.
Risk 8-23/24/25-34
Safety
A poisonous, corrosive, and extremely reactive gas. It is a powerful oxidizer. Will react with water or steam to produce toxic and corrosive fumes. The liquefied gas reacts violently with many organic compounds and some inorganic compounds. Explodes or ignites on contact with hydrogen-containing materials (e.g., acetic acid, ammonia, benzene, ethanol, hydrogen, hydrogen sulfide, methane, cork, grease, paper, wax, chloromethane). Reacts violently and may ignite on contact with acids, halogens, nonmetals, metal halides, metals, oxides, concentrated nitric or sulfuric acids, aluminum powder, ammonium chloride, antimony, arsenic, arsenic pentoxide, barium, bismuth, boron powder, boron trioxide, calcium oxide, carbon monoxide, charcoal, chlorine, chromium, chromium trioxide, cobalt powder, iodine, iodine pentoxide, iridium powder, iron powder, lithium powder, manganese, magnesium oxide, molybdenum, molybdenum trioxide, nickel powder, red phosphorus, phosphorus pentoxide, potassium iodide, rhodium powder, selenium, sulfur, sulfur dioxide, tellurium, tungsten, tungsten trioxide, water, zinc. When heated to decomposition it emits very toxic fumes of F− and Br−. See also BROMINE and FLUORIDES.
