Silver picrate, wetted with not less than 30% water appears as a white to light colored solid paste. Contains about 35% water, which reduces its tendency toward rapid decomposition or explosion. Considered safe for storage, handling and shipping, but should be treated as an explosive. Contact may cause irritation to skin, eyes, and mucous membranes. May be toxic by ingestion.

Explosive

SILVER PICRATE, WETTED WITH NOT LESS THAN 30% WATER may be ignited by heat, sparks or flames. The DRIED OUT material may explode if exposed to heat, flame, friction or shock.

Excerpt from ERG Guide 113 [Flammable Solids - Toxic (Wet/Desensitized Explosive)]: Flammable/combustible material. May be ignited by heat, sparks or flames. DRIED OUT material may explode if exposed to heat, flame, friction or shock; treat as an explosive, refer to ERG Guide 112. Keep material wet with water or treat as an explosive, refer to ERG Guide 112. Runoff to sewer may create fire or explosion hazard. (ERG, 2016)|Flammable - 3rd degree

Excerpt from ERG Guide 113 [Flammable Solids - Toxic (Wet/Desensitized Explosive)]: CARGO FIRE: DO NOT fight fire when fire reaches cargo! Cargo may EXPLODE! Stop all traffic and clear the area for at least 1600 meters (1 mile) in all directions and let burn. Do not move cargo or vehicle if cargo has been exposed to heat. TIRE OR VEHICLE FIRE: Use plenty of water - FLOOD it! If water is not available, use CO2, dry chemical or dirt. If possible, and WITHOUT RISK, use unmanned hose holders or monitor nozzles from maximum distance to prevent fire from spreading to cargo area. Pay special attention to tire fires as re-ignition may occur. Stand by, at a safe distance, with extinguisher ready for possible re-ignition. (ERG, 2016)

Excerpt from ERG Guide 113 [Flammable Solids - Toxic (Wet/Desensitized Explosive)]: Isolate spill or leak area immediately for at least 100 meters (330 feet) in all directions. LARGE SPILL: Consider initial evacuation for 500 meters (1/3 mile) in all directions. FIRE: If tank, rail car or tank truck is involved in a fire, ISOLATE for 800 meters (1/2 mile) in all directions; also, consider initial evacuation for 800 meters (1/2 mile) in all directions. (ERG, 2016)

Excerpt from ERG Guide 113 [Flammable Solids - Toxic (Wet/Desensitized Explosive)]: ELIMINATE all ignition sources (no smoking, flares, sparks or flames in immediate area). All equipment used when handling the product must be grounded. Do not touch or walk through spilled material. SMALL SPILL: Flush area with flooding quantities of water. LARGE SPILL: Wet down with water and dike for later disposal. KEEP "WETTED" PRODUCT WET BY SLOWLY ADDING FLOODING QUANTITIES OF WATER. (ERG, 2016)

Excerpt from ERG Guide 113 [Flammable Solids - Toxic (Wet/Desensitized Explosive)]: Wear positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA). Structural firefighters' protective clothing will only provide limited protection. (ERG, 2016)

Excerpt from ERG Guide 113 [Flammable Solids - Toxic (Wet/Desensitized Explosive)]: Some are toxic and may be fatal if inhaled, swallowed or absorbed through skin. Contact may cause burns to skin and eyes. Fire may produce irritating, corrosive and/or toxic gases. Runoff from fire control or dilution water may cause pollution. (ERG, 2016)

Excerpt from ERG Guide 113 [Flammable Solids - Toxic (Wet/Desensitized Explosive)]: Ensure that medical personnel are aware of the material(s) involved and take precautions to protect themselves. Move victim to fresh air. Call 911 or emergency medical service. Give artificial respiration if victim is not breathing. Administer oxygen if breathing is difficult. Remove and isolate contaminated clothing and shoes. In case of contact with substance, immediately flush skin or eyes with running water for at least 20 minutes. (ERG, 2016)
