28432900 | [Safety Profile]
Poison by ingestion. A
severe skin and eye irritant. When heated to
decomposition it emits very toxic fumes of
CN-, K2O, and NOx. See also CYANIDE
and SILVER COMPOUNDS. | [Hazardous Substances Data]
506-61-6(Hazardous Substances Data) |
| Hazard Information | Back Directory | [General Description]
White crystals. Poisonous. Used in silver plating, as a bactericide and in the manufacture of antiseptics. Not registered as a pesticide in the U.S. | [Reactivity Profile]
POTASSIUM SILVER CYANIDE(506-61-6) is light sensitive. Acids precipitate silver cyanide from its aqueous solution. Fusion with metal chlorates, perchlorates, nitrates or nitrites can cause violent explosions [Bretherick 1979 p. 101]. | [Air & Water Reactions]
Water soluble [Merck]. | [Hazard]
Very toxic.
| [Health Hazard]
Potassium silver cyanide is a poisonous, white solid made of crystals, which are light sensitive. It is soluble in water and acids, and slightly soluble in ethanol. It emits very toxic
fumes when heated to decomposition. Synonyms for potassium silver cyanide are potassium argentocyanide and potassium dicyanoargentate | [Health Hazard]
The primary health hazard is as a cyanide. (Non-specific--Cyanide, Inorganic, n.o.s.). It is poisonous and may be fatal if inhaled, swallowed or absorbed through the skin. Fire may produce irritating or poisonous gases. | [Potential Exposure]
Potassium silver cyanide is used in
silver plating; as a bactericide; and in the manufacture
of antiseptics. Not registered for use as a pesticide in the
United States | [Fire Hazard]
When heated to decomposition, potassium silver cyanide emits very toxic fumes of cyanide and nitrogen oxides. Avoid light. | [First aid]
If this chemical gets into the eyes, remove any
contact lenses at once and irrigate immediately for at least
15 minutes, occasionally lifting upper and lower lids. Seek
medical attention immediately. If this chemical contacts the
skin, remove contaminated clothing and wash immediately
with soap and water. Seek medical attention immediately.
If this chemical has been inhaled, remove from exposure,
begin rescue breathing (using universal precautions, includ-
ing resuscitation mask) if breathing has stopped and CPR if
heart action has stopped. Transfer promptly to a medical
facility. When this chemical has been swallowed, get medi-
cal attention. Give large quantities of water and induce
vomiting. Do not make an unconscious person vomit. Keep
victim quiet and maintain normal body temperature. Effects
may be delayed; keep victim under observation.
Use amyl nitrate capsules if symptoms develop. All area
employees should be trained regularly in emergency mea-
sures for cyanide poisoning and in CPR. A cyanide antidote
kit should be kept in the immediate work area and must be
rapidly available. Kit ingredients should be replaced every
1?2 years to ensure freshness. Persons trained in the use of
this kit; oxygen use, and CPR must be quickly available. | [Shipping]
UN1588 Cyanides, inorganic, solid, n.o.s.,
Hazard Class: 6.1; Labels: 6.1-Poisonous materials,
Technical Name Required. | [Incompatibilities]
Contact with acid, acid fumes release
hydrogen cyanide. Incompatible with water, steam, or when
heated to decomposition, emits toxic and flammable cyanide
vapors. Potassium silver cyanide reacts with carbon dioxide
releasing hydrogen cyanide. Light sensitive. Incompatible
with oxidizers (chlorates, nitrates, peroxides, permanganates,
perchlorates, chlorine, bromine, fluorine, etc.); contact may
cause fires or explosions. Keep away from alkaline materi-
als, strong bases, strong acids, oxoacids, epoxides. Acids
precipitate silver cyanide from its aqueous solution. Fusion
with metal chlorates, perchlorates, nitrates or nitrites can
cause violent explosions | [Chemical Properties]
Potassium silver cyanide is a poisonous, white solid made of crystals, which are light sensitive. It is soluble in water and acids and slightly soluble in ethanol. It emits very toxic fumes when heated to decomposition.
| [Chemical Properties]
Potassium silver cyanide is a white crystalline
solid. | [Waste Disposal]
Consult with environmental
regulatory agencies for guidance on acceptable disposal
practices. Generators of waste containing this contaminant
(≥100 kg/mo) must conform with EPA regulations govern-
ing storage, transportation, treatment, and waste disposal. | [Uses]
In silver plating. | [Uses]
Silver platingPotassium silver cyanide is used in silver plating and in the manufacturing of antiseptics. It is a versatile bridging ligand and finds use for multidimensional polymer construction. | [Flammability and Explosibility]
