What is Cryptohalite ((NH4)2(SiF6))?
Chemical properties
Ammonium hexafluorosilicate is a white crystalline powder. Odorless.
Safety Profile
Poison by ingestion and subcutaneous routes. See also diHYDROGEN and FLUORIDES. When heated to decomposition it emits very toxic fumes of F-, NH3,
Potential Exposure
This material is used as a pesticide and miticide, wood preservative, soldering flux; light metal casting; and in the etching of glass.
Shipping
UN2856 Fluorosilicates, n.o.s., Hazard Class: 6.1; Labels: 6.1-Poisonous materials, Technical Name Required.
Incompatibilities
Aqueous solution is highly corrosive. Contact with acids reacts to form hydrogen fluoride, which is a highly corrosive and forms a toxic gas. Corrosive to aluminum. Incompatible with oxidizers (chlorates, nitrates, peroxides, permanganates, perchlorates, chlorine, bromine, fluorine, etc.); contact may cause fires or explosions. Keep away from alkaline materials, strong bases, strong acids, oxoacids, epoxides. Ammonium fluorosilicate reacts with water to form hydrofluoric acid, a source of fluoride ions. Unlike other halide ions, the fluoride ion is highly reactive, acting as a weak base and participating in some unique reactions. In particular, fluorides react strongly with compounds containing calcium, magnesium, or silicon ions, which means that solutions containing soluble fluorides are corrosive to both living tissue and glass. Hydrofluoric acid can cause severe chemical burns and is one of the few materials that can etch glass. It is also a toxic gas in its anhydrous form.
Waste Disposal
Consult with environmental regulatory agencies for guidance on acceptable disposal practices. Generators of waste containing this contaminant (≥100 kg/mo) must conform with EPA regulations governing storage, transportation, treatment, and waste disposal. Incineration.
