What is the symbol for explosive?

Exploding Bomb: Explosives, including organic peroxides and highly unstable material at risk of exploding even without exposure to air (self-reactives). Flame Over Circle: Identifies oxidizers.

What does explosion symbol mean?

Explosive. This symbol means the container is explosive! The container is under pressure and can explode if it is heated or broken.

What is an explosive hazard?

The OSHA Laboratory Standard defines an explosive as a chemical that causes a sudden, almost instantaneous release of pressure, gas, and heat when subjected to sudden shock, pressure, or high temperature. Under the Department of Transportation (DOT) hazard class system, explosives are listed as hazard class 1.

What are the WHMIS hazard symbols?

WHMIS/GHS PICTOGRAMS

  • Exploding Bomb (Explosion or reactivity hazards)
  • Flame (Fire hazard)
  • Flame Over Circle (Oxidizing hazards)
  • Gas Cylinder (Gases under pressure)
  • Corrosion (Corrosive damage to metals, skin, eyes)
  • Skull & Crossbones (Can cause death or toxicity with short exposure to small amounts)

What are the example of explosive?

TNT and dynamite are known examples of explosive substances. Pyrotechnic substances: a substance (or a mixture of substances) designed to produce an effect by heat, light, sound, gas or smoke (or a combination of them) as a result of non-detonative self-sustaining exothermic chemical reactions.

What products are explosive?

Types of chemical explosives.

  • Black powder. History of black powder. Manufacture of black powder.
  • Nitroglycerin.
  • Dynamite. Ammonium nitrate. Low-freezing dynamite.
  • Other explosives. Chlorates and perchlorates.
  • Modern high explosives. Ammonium nitrate–fuel oil mixtures.
  • Nitrocellulosic explosives.
  • Blasting caps. Electrical firing.

    • Which pictogram explodes or self-reactive?

    The Exploding Bomb pictogram
    The Exploding Bomb pictogram is used for products at risk of explosion due to fire, shock, friction, heat or puncture. This pictogram is placed on labels of mixtures of self-reactive substances and organic peroxides. The Exclamation Mark is used for products that may cause less serious health effects.

    What is the example of explosive?

    Examples include primary explosives such as nitroglycerin that can detonate with little or no stimulus and secondary explosives such as dynamite (trinitrotoluene, TNT) that require a strong shock (from a detonator such as a blasting cap). Low explosives change into gases by burning or combustion.

    What products have explosive symbols?

    Examples of explosive chemical products include aerosols like hairspray, cooking spray, and spray paint. This product is corrosive. The skeleton hand symbol means the product can burn your skin or eyes if you touch it, or it can burn your throat and stomach if you swallow it.

    What does flammable symbol mean?

    The flame symbol alerts users that a chemical is flammable. It can also indicate a chemical may be pyrophoric, self-heating, self-reactive, or emit flammable gas. It may also indicate a chemical includes organic peroxides. Source: OSHA.
