Sodiumnitrite....

Label required

A white crystalline solid usually in flakes.

Yellow...

Strong oxidizing agent. Decomposed by heat evolving oxygen, and will burst containers.

Reacts violently with acids. Mixed with organic material or finely divided metals it is dan gerously ignitible and may be ignited by friction or may cause spontaneous ignition of such material.

Do not stow with charcoal,

sulfur, sugar, flour and similar finely divided substances.

Do not stow in same compartment with explosives, combustible materials, inflammable liquids (red label), or acids (white label).

Do not overstow.
Keep cool and dry.

A yellowish-white salt somewhat moist in appearance. It is an oxidizing material which while containing less oxygen than the nitrates, is more readily decomposed, and therefore generally more active. When mixed with organic matter, it is more readily ignited than a corresponding mixture of sodium nitrate. Sodium nitrite if mixed with ammonium salts decomposes

spontaneously and may cause fires.

Absorbs moisture.

Soluble in water.

Involved in a fire will greatly intensify the burning of all combustible materials.

Do not stow with ammonium nitrate.

Stow away from all combusti

ble materials, explosives or acids (white label).
