Properties and observations · source text
Immiscible with water. Ignites readily. When involved in a fire, evolves toxic nitrous fumes. Not explosive in this state but damage to, or leakage from, a package may allow solvent to evaporate and thus leave the nitroglycerin in an explosive state.
P300 This instruction applies to UN 3064. The following packagings are authorized, provided that the general provisions of 4.1.1 and 4.1.3 are met: Combination packagings consisting of inner metal cans of not more than 1 L capacity each and outer wooden boxes (4C1, 4C2, 4D or 4F) containing not more than 5 L of solution. Additional provisions: Metal cans shall be completely surrounded with absorbent cushioning material. Wooden boxes shall be completely lined with suitable material impervious to water and nitroglycerin.
This substance may be transported under the provisions of class 3 or class 4.1 only if it is so packaged that the percentage of diluent will not fall below that stated, at any time during transport (see 2.3.1.4 and 2.4.2.4). In cases where the diluent is not stated, the substance shall be packed so that the amount of explosive substance does not exceed the stated value.
Nitroglycerin solution in alcohol with more than 1% but not more than 5% nitroglycerin shall be classified in class 1 and assigned to UN 0144 if not all the requirements of packing instruction P300 are complied with.
