CHEMICAL AND PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
| Physical Description | Lead thiocyanate appears as a white to yellow crystalline solid. Slightly soluble in water and denser than water. Primary hazard is threat to the environment. Immediate steps should be taken to limit spread to the environment. Used to make explosives, safety matches, and in dyeing. |
|---|---|
| Color/Form | White or light yellow crystalline powder |
| Odor | Odorless |
| Melting Point | 374 °F |
| Solubility | 0.05 g/100 cc water at 20 °C |
| Density | 3.82 at 68 °F (USCG, 1999) - Denser than water; will sink |
| Decomposition | When heated to decomp, it emits toxic fumes of /lead, sulfur oxides and nitrogen oxides/. |
| Other Experimental Properties | May form explosive mixtures with air. |
