reactions, fire hazards, health hazards, a reactivity profile, and
details about
reactive groups assignments
and

data sources.
Reactivity Alerts
none
Air & Water Reactions
No rapid reaction with air. No rapid reaction with water.
Fire Hazard
Special Hazards of Combustion Products: May contain irritating or poisonous gases.
Behavior in Fire: The primary constituent, anacardic acid, decarboxylates at high temperatures to produce carbon dioxide gas. This reaction could generate pressure in a heated closed container. (USCG, 1999)
Behavior in Fire: The primary constituent, anacardic acid, decarboxylates at high temperatures to produce carbon dioxide gas. This reaction could generate pressure in a heated closed container. (USCG, 1999)
Health Hazard
Inhalation: May irritate mucous membranes; it is extremely acrid and corrosive. Toxic; may be harmful if inhaled. Eyes: May cause burns to eyes. Skin: Produces severe inflammation of the skin with subsequent blisters and desquamation. Symptons resemble poison ivy exposure effects. Ingestion: Toxic and irritating, Cardol, a major constituent, produces severe gastroenteritis. (USCG, 1999)
Reactivity Profile
OIL, [CASHEW] contains primarily esters. Esters react with acids to liberate heat along with alcohols and acids. Strong oxidizing acids may cause a vigorous reaction that is sufficiently exothermic to ignite the reaction products. Heat is also generated by the interaction of esters with caustic solutions. Flammable hydrogen is generated by mixing esters with alkali metals and hydrides. No restrictions on aluminum, aluminum alloys, copper, copper alloys zinc, galvanized steel or alloys having more than 10 percent zinc (by weight), lead, magnesium, silver or silver alloys, or mercury (USCG, 1999).
Belongs to the Following Reactive Group(s)

The
Response Recommendation fields
include isolation and evacuation distances, as well as recommendations for
firefighting, non-fire response, protective clothing, and first aid. The
information in CAMEO Chemicals comes from a variety of
data sources.
Isolation and Evacuation
No information available.
Firefighting
Fire Extinguishing Agents: Small fires: Dry chemical, carbon dioxide, water spray or foam. Large Fires: Water spray, fog or foam. (USCG, 1999)
Non-Fire Response
No information available.
Protective Clothing
Wear positive pressure breathing apparatus and special protective clothing. (USCG, 1999)
DuPont Tychem® Suit Fabrics
No information available.
First Aid
Call emergency medical care. Inhalation: Move victim to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen.
EYES or SKIN: Immediately flush with running water for at least 15 minutes; hold eyelids open periodically, if appropriate. Speed in removing material from skin is of extreme importance. Remove and isolate contaminated clothing and shoes at the site. Keep victim quiet and maintain normal body temperature. Effects may be delayed; keep victim under observation. (USCG, 1999)

toxic exposure thresholds
The information in CAMEO Chemicals comes from a variety of
data sources.
Note: For Vapor Density and Specific Gravity, comparing the value to 1.0 can tell you if the chemical will likely sink/rise in air or sink/float in fresh water (respectively). Short phrases have been added to those values below as an aid. However, make sure to also consider the circumstances of a release. The Vapor Density comparisons are only valid when the gas escaping is at the same temperature as the surrounding air itself. If the chemical is escaping from a container where it was pressurized or refrigerated, it may first escape and behave as a heavy gas and sink in the air (even if it has a Vapor Density value less than 1). Also, the Specific Gravity comparisons are for fresh water (density 1.0 g/mL). If your spill is in salt water (density about 1.027 g/mL), you need to adjust the point of comparison. There are some chemicals that will sink in fresh water and float in salt water.
