 A colorless,
toxic, corrosive, nonflammable gas with a sharp, suffocating
odor, severely irritating to the upper respiratory tract
and corrosive to eyes, skin and mucous membranes. It is
heavier than air, fumes in moist air and has a great affinity
for water. Shipped as liquefied gas under its own vapor
pressure (613 psig @ 70°F).

Additional Information:
|
Hydrogen chloride is a nonflammable liquefied
compressed gas packaged in cylinders under its
own vapor pressure of 613 psig at 70°F. It
can fume on contact with moist air. The degree
of fuming is related to the amount of humidity
in the air. The reaction with water will produce
heat and form very corrosive hydrochloric acid.
It has a repulsive, irritating, acidic odor that
can usually be detected at low concentrations
(<5ppm). Direct skin contact can cause severe
burns. When entering release area, wear Self-Contained
Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) if concentrations exceed
exposure limits. Fully protective suits are required
in large releases.
