Holy shit fours on blue AND yellow, AND it’s an oxidizer? My guess is some kind of halogenation agent, likely fluorine based. The lack of flammability with those stats makes me think it’s an inorganic compound, probably some wretched fluorine abomination.
Hah! You get two signal words with GHS: caution or danger. Caution is low stakes, where you might get skin irritation or maybe a mild burn. Danger is supposed to clue you in that it will fuck you up, but there’s no indicator of magnitude of fuck you up. Will it just give you a bad burn or will it melt your skin off while intercalating with your DNA?
I always wanted a third “oh helllll no” category for the really awful substances. For things like tert-Butyl hydroperoxide (it’s a straight 4-4-4) or Osmium tetroxide.
Here’s my favourite warning, can you guess what it is?

Probably related to this, very fun column to read.
Seems like it would definitely not have a 0 in red?
But it was a great read and I’m glad you posted it.
Oxidizers aren’t typically flammable themselves and only react with fuels.
Chlorine trifluoride! Nasty, NASTY shit. Guess which industry I worked in as safety!
Angry water.
I think “Danger” might be putting it lightly…

If I’m to understand mic_check_one_two@lemmy.dbzer0.com correctly, it’s something that’s:
Extremely hazardous,
non flamable, Extremely unstable, Reactive to water
And if ox means oxidising, reacts to exposure to oxigen.
I thought Lithium, but that catches fire and this is non-flammable.
I haven’t a clue what this could be, but now I’m curious.
