COBALT (II) SULFAMATE

The Uses of COBALT (II) SULFAMATE

Cobalt(II) sulfamate hydrate is used in photonic device fabrication.

General Description

COBALT (II) SULFAMATE is a reddish colored solid. COBALT (II) SULFAMATE is soluble in water. The primary hazard is the threat to the environment. Immediate steps should be taken to limit the spread to the environment. COBALT (II) SULFAMATE is used as a pigment and electroplating metals.

Air & Water Reactions

Water soluble.

Reactivity Profile

Salts, basic, such as COBALT (II) SULFAMATE, are generally soluble in water. The resulting solutions contain moderate concentrations of hydroxide ions and have pH's greater than 7.0. They react as bases to neutralize acids. These neutralizations generate heat, but less or far less than is generated by neutralization of the bases in reactivity group 10 (Bases) and the neutralization of amines. They usually do not react as either oxidizing agents or reducing agents but such behavior is not impossible. Contact with wood or paper may cause fire [USCG, 1999]. Special Hazards of Combustion Products: Toxic oxides of nitrogen may form in fire.

Health Hazard

Inhalation causes shortness of breath and coughing; permanent disability may occur. Ingestion causes pain and vomiting. Contact with eyes or skin causes irritation.
