Nitrates-Continued Nitro carbo nitrate. For loading and discharging requirements see § 146.22-40

Oxidizing materials, N. 0.8.

Composed principally of ammonium nitrate. Involved in a fire will greatly intensify the burning of many combustible materials and under conditions of exposure to high temperatures (above 400° F.) rapid decomposition and ignition may occur. Will burn with explosive violence. Soluble in water.

Do not stow in the same hold or compartment with combustible cargo, explosives (except that nitro carbo nitrate packaged in strong metal cans, metal or fiber drums, barrels, kegs, or wooden or fiberboard boxes with non-combustible inside containers may be stowed in a hold or compartment with a magazine containing dynamite, commercial boosters and/or other non-priming, non-initiating types of explosives which are compatible with dynamite) or acids and away from chlorates.
