Product definition

DANGER! Toxic liquid packaged i in cylinders under pressure, which becomes gaseous as room tem mperature. Health Hazards: No specific toxicity is s available for this material; health information is based upon relate ed compound, Germane. Highly toxic by inhalation. Exposure to Digermane is considered to be similar to Arsine and wou would be primarily related to the destruction of red blo ood cells. May be harmful by skin contact. Although highly unlikely du due to gaseous form at room temperature, ingestion n may be harmful. Rapidly expanding gas can cause frostbite. Flamma ammability Hazards: This material is extremely flammable. Releases of this material which have not ignited must be considered extremely dangerous, and should n not be approached. When involved in a fire, this material will deco ompose to produce toxic fumes including germanium ium and germanium oxides, as well as hydrogen. Reactivity Ha azards: Liquid Digermane has been observed ed to deflagrate without air (decompose to hydrogen and germani nium) without an obvious source of initiation. Di igermane may be a strong reducing agent and may react vigorou usly with mild to strong oxidizing agents, as with h Germane. Environmental This material may cause ha arm to terrestrial and aquatic organisms if acciden dentally released. Emergency
