Applications:
- Used as a strong oxidizing agent in the production of barium salts and bleaching agents
- Incorporated into fireworks to impart a vivid green color upon ignition
- Historically utilized in the Brin process for oxygen production and as a precursor for hydrogen peroxide synthesis
- Employed in the manufacturing of certain glass and ceramic products
Hazard Identification:
- GHS Classification: Oxidizing Solid (Category 2)
- Hazard Statements:
- H272: May intensify fire; oxidizer
- H302: Harmful if swallowed
- H314: Causes severe skin burns and eye damage
- Precautionary Statements:
- P210: Keep away from heat, sparks, open flames, and hot surfaces. No smoking
- P280: Wear protective gloves, protective clothing, and eye protection
- P305+P351+P338: IF IN EYES: Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes
