Potential Health Effects
Inhalation: If Ammonium Chloride is inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical attention.
Ingestion: It causes irritation to the gastrointestinal tract. Symptoms may include nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. If large quantities of this material are swallowed, call a physician immediately.
Skin Contact: Ammonium Chloride causes irritation to skin. Symptoms include redness, itching, and pain.
Eye Contact: It causes irritation, redness, and pain.
Chronic Exposure: No information found.
Aggravation of Pre-existing Conditions: No information found.

Inhalation: Remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical attention.
Ingestion: Induce vomiting immediately as directed by medical personnel. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical attention.
Skin Contact: Immediately flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Get medical attention. Wash clothing before reuse. Thoroughly clean shoes before reuse.
Eye Contact: Check for and remove any contact lenses. In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Cold water may be used. Get medical attention.

Fire: Ammonium Chloride is not considered to be a fire hazard. At fire temperatures ammonium chloride begins to corrode metals and may dissociate into ammonia and hydrogen chloride. Mixtures of about 16% to 25% (by volume) ammonia gas in air are flammable.
Explosion: It is not considered to be an explosion hazard.
Fire Extinguishing Media: Use any means suitable for extinguishing surrounding fire. Water spray may be used to keep fire exposed containers cool.
Special Information: In the event of a fire, wear full protective clothing and NIOSH-approved self-contained breathing apparatus with full face piece operated in the pressure demand or other positive pressure mode.

Small Spill: Use appropriate tools to put the spilled solid in a convenient waste disposal container. Finish cleaning by spreading water on the contaminated surface and dispose of according to local and regional authority requirements.
Large Spill: Use a shovel to put the material into a convenient waste disposal container. Be careful that the product is not present at a concentration level above TLV. Check TLV on the MSDS and with local authorities.

Keep Ammonium Chloride in a tightly closed container. Protect it from physical damage. Store it in a cool, dry, ventilated area away from sources of heat, moisture and incompatibilities. Containers of Ammonium Chloride material may be hazardous when empty since they retain product residues (dust, solids); observe all warnings and precautions listed for the product.

Airborne Exposure Limits: Ammonium chloride:
-ACGIH Threshold Limit Value (TLV):
10 mg/m3 (TWA); 20 mg/m3 (STEL) Fume
Ventilation System: A system of local and/or general exhaust is recommended to keep employee exposures below the Airborne Exposure Limits. Local exhaust ventilation is generally preferred because it can control the emissions of the contaminant at its source, preventing dispersion of it into the general work area. Please refer to the ACGIH document, Industrial Ventilation, A Manual of Recommended Practices, most recent edition, for details.
Personal Respirators (NIOSH Approved): If the exposure limit is exceeded and engineering controls are not feasible, a half face piece particulate respirator (NIOSH type N95 or better filters) may be worn for up to ten times the exposure limit or the maximum use concentration specified by the appropriate regulatory agency or respirator supplier, whichever is lowest.. A full-face piece particulate respirator (NIOSH type N100 filters) may be worn up to 50 times the exposure limit, or the maximum use concentration specified by the appropriate regulatory agency, or respirator supplier, whichever is lowest. If oil particles (e.g. lubricants, cutting fluids, glycerin, etc.) are present, use a NIOSH type R or P filter. For emergencies or instances where the exposure levels are not known, use a full-face piece positive-pressure, air-supplied respirator.
Skin Protection: Wear impervious protective clothing, including boots, gloves, lab coat, apron or coveralls, as appropriate, to prevent skin contact.
Eye Protection: Use chemical safety goggles and/or full face shield where dusting or splashing of solutions is possible. Maintain eye wash fountain and quick-drench facilities in work area.

pH of Ammonium Chloride : 5.5 (1% aq.sol.); 5.1 (3% aq.sol.); 5.0 (10% aq.sol.)
% Volatiles by volume @ 21C (70F): 0
Boiling Point: 520C (968F)
Melting Point: 338C (640F) Sublimes
Vapor Density (Air=1): 1.9
Vapor Pressure (mm Hg): 1.0 @ 160C (320F)
Evaporation Rate (BuAc=1): No information found

Stability: Ammonium Chloride is stable under ordinary conditions of use and storage.
Hazardous Decomposition Products: Ammonium Chloride involvement in a fire causes decomposition to form hydrogen chloride and ammonia.
Hazardous Polymerization: Will not occur.
Incompatibilities: Concentrated acids, strong bases, silver salts, potassium chlorate, ammonium nitrate, bromine trifluoride and iodine heptafluoride. Ammonium hloride reacts explosively with potassium chlorate or bromine trifluoride, and violently with bromide pentafluoride, ammonium compounds, nitrates and iodine heptafluoride. Explosive nitrogen trichloride may result from reaction of ammonium chloride and hydrogen cyanide.
Conditions to Avoid: Heat, moisture, incompatibles.

Environmental Fate: No information found.
Environmental Toxicity: No information found.

Whatever cannot be saved for recovery or recycling should be managed in an appropriate and approved waste disposal facility. Processing, use or contamination of this product may change the waste management options. State and local disposal regulations may differ from federal disposal regulations. Dispose of container and unused Ammonium Chloride in accordance with legal requirements.
