ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
A MIXTURE OF ALUMINUM POWDER, WATER AND METAL NITRATE MAY EXPLODE DUE
TO A SELF-ACCELERATING REACTION. MIXTURES OF METAL NITRATES WITH
ALKYL ESTERS MAY EXPLODE, OWING TO THE FORMATION OF ALKYL NITRATES.
MIXTURES OF A NITRATE WITH PHOSPHOROUS, TIN (2) CHLORIDE OR OTHER
REDUCING AGENTS MAY REACT EXPLOSIVELY. MIXTURES OF METAL NITRATES AND
PHOSPHINATES EXPLODE ON HEATING. MIXTURES CONTAINING NITRATES,
NITRITES, AND ORGANIC MATERIALS ARE POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS, ESPECIALLY
IN THE PRESENCE OF ACIDIC MATERIALS AND HEAVY METALS. INCOMPATIBLE
WITH: CYANIDES, THIOCYANATES, ISOTHIOCYANATES, HYPOPHOSPHITES.
