General Description
A grayish green to bluish green powder. The primary hazard is the threat to the environment. Immediate steps should be taken to limit its spread to the environment. It is used in tanning and in textile dyeing.
The
Hazard fields
include
special hazard alerts
air and water
reactions, fire hazards, health hazards, a reactivity profile, and
details about
reactive groups assignments
and
potentially incompatible absorbents.
The information in CAMEO Chemicals comes from a variety of
data sources.
Reactivity Alerts
none
Air & Water Reactions
Water soluble.
Fire Hazard
No information available.
Health Hazard
INHALATION: Irritating. It can produce ulcerations in the respiratory system, perforation of the nasal septum, pneumonitis and bronchial carcinoma. EYES: Irritation. SKIN: May cause dermatitis to exposed skin. Can produce ulcerations and sensitizing reactions. (USCG, 1999)
Reactivity Profile
CHROMIC ACETATE gives aqueous solutions that are basic (neutralize acids). These neutralizations generate only a little heat. Neither a strong reducing agent nor oxidizing agent, but can serve as both.
Belongs to the Following Reactive Group(s)
Potentially Incompatible Absorbents
No information available.
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

First Aid
Get medical aid.
INHALATION: Move to fresh air.
EYES: Wash with large amounts of water, get medical attention.
SKIN: Wash with large amounts of water. (USCG, 1999)
INHALATION: Move to fresh air.
EYES: Wash with large amounts of water, get medical attention.
SKIN: Wash with large amounts of water. (USCG, 1999)
The
Physical Property fields
include properties such as vapor pressure and
boiling point, as well as explosive limits and
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.
