NITRIC ACID PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
 NITRIC ACID is created by oxidizing anhydrous ammonia
Tower Acid WW over a platinum catalyst at extreme temperatures. The resultant gases, nitric oxide and
 nitrogen dioxide, or NOx, are cooled and absorbed into demineralized water. Apart from
 the hydrogen and nitrate ions, NITRIC ACID will not contain any ions unless they were

 yellow discoloration in NITRIC ACID is directly proportional to the level of oxides of nitrogen
 dissolved in the solution. This is HNO2 or nitrous acid. It can be minimized using various

Cast and Slurry Boosters
 Explosives manufacturers have developed a variety of boosters designed to
 initiate non cap-sensitive explosives such as ANFO and other blasting agents.
 These boosters may be packed in flexible or rigid plastic containers; they may
 also be in the form of pressed or cast materials requiring no container what-
 soever for loading in the borehole. Usually, these specially designed boosters
 are adaptable to PRIMACORD or PRIMALINE detonating cords; check with the
 booster manufacturer for proper initiation techniques.

5.1 Extinguishing media
Water fog. DO NOT attempt to extinguish fire if other explosives are present. EVACUATE AREA.

5.2 Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture
EXPLOSIVE. Will explode under specific conditions. May evolve toxic gases (carbon/ nitrogen oxides, hydrocarbons) when heated to
decomposition. Eliminate all ignition sources including cigarettes, open flames, spark producing switches/tools, heaters, naked lights,
pilot lights, etc when handling. CAUTION: Will explode if exposed to heat or with heavy impact.

5.3 Advice for firefighters
Evacuate area and contact emergency services. Exposure to heat may result in detonation, however effects are expected to be limited
to the package. Toxic gases may be evolved in a fire situation. Remain upwind and notify those downwind of hazard. Wear full
protective equipment including Self Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) when combating fire. Do not attempt to fight fire if other
explosives are present. Use waterfog to cool unexploded cartridges.
