GeneralPhysical dataSynonyms: cupric sulfate, cupric sulphate, blue vitriol, copper (II) sulfate 5-hydrate, copper sulphate, BCS copper fungicide, blue copper AS, copper (2+) sulfate pentahydrate, Salzburg vitriol, sulfuric acid copper (2+) salt, trinagle, vencedorMolecular formula: CuSO4 5H2O (if hydrated) CAS No: 7758-99-8 EC No: 231-847-6 Appearance: blue odourless crystalline solid (white or grey powder if anhydrous) Melting point: 110 C (600 C, with decomposition, if anhydrous) Decomposes below boiling point at 650°C Boiling point: Vapour density: Vapour pressure: Specific gravity: 2.28 (hydrated) 3.6 (anhydrous) Flash point: none Explosion limits: none Autoignition temperature: Density: 3.6 g/cm³ very soluble in water Solubility in water, g/100 ml at 20°C: 20.3 Stability Stable. Incompatible with strong reducing agents, hydroxylamine. Chemical dangers Reacts violently with hydroxylamine causing fire hazard. Reacts with magnesium forming flammable/explosive gas (hydrogen - see ICSC0001). Attacks iron and zinc in the presence of water. Toxicology Harmful by inhalation or ingestion. Dust may ulcerate membranes. Prolonged exposure may cause dermatitis. Possible irritant.

Environmental information Hazard: harmful Hazard: harmful in the environment Very toxic to aquatic organisms - may cause long term damage in the environment. LC50 (L.macrochirus): 0.7 - 1.1 mg/l The substance is very toxic to aquatic organisms. Bioaccumulation of this chemical may occur along the food chain, for example in fish. It is strongly advised that this substance does not enter the environment. Transport information UN No 3077. Hazard class 9. Packing group III. Personal protection Occupational exposure limits TLV (as copper): 1 mg/m³ (as TWA) (ACGIH 2001). MAK: (as copper) 1 mg/m³ Peak limitation category: II, 1 (DFG 2000). Routes of exposure The substance can be absorbed into the body by inhalation of its aerosol and by ingestion. Inhalation risk Evaporation at 20°C is negligible; a harmful concentration of airborne particles can, however, be reached quickly when dispersed, especially if powdered. Effects of short-term exposure The substance is severely irritating to the eyes and the skin. The aerosol is irritating to the respiratory tract. Corrosive on ingestion. If ingested, the substance may cause effects on the blood, kidneys and liver, resulting in hemolytic anemia, kidney impairment and liver impairment. Effects of long-term or repeated exposure Lungs may be affected by repeated or prolonged exposure to the aerosol. The substance may have effects on the liver when ingested. PPE Safety glasses. Adequate ventilation. # S22 Do not breathe dust. # S61 Avoid release to the environment. Refer to special instructions / safety data sheets. # S62 If swallowed, do not induce vomiting; seek medical advice immediately and show this container or label.
