**** SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION ****
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Contact with combustible material may cause fire.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Causes eye irritation. May cause eye injury.
Skin:
May cause severe irritation and possible burns.
Ingestion:
May cause nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea, possibly with blood.
Inhalation:
Dust is irritating to the respiratory tract.
Chronic:
No information found.
**** SECTION 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES ****
Eyes:
Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes,
occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Get medical aid
immediately.
Skin:
Get medical aid. Wash clothing before reuse. Flush skin with plenty
of soap and water.
Ingestion:
Do not induce vomiting. If victim is conscious and alert, give 2-4
cupfuls of milk or water. Never give anything by mouth to an
unconscious person. Get medical aid immediately.
Inhalation:
Remove from exposure and move to fresh air immediately. If not
breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult,
give oxygen. Get medical aid. Do NOT use mouth-to-mouth
resuscitation.
Notes to Physician:
**** SECTION 5 - FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES ****
General Information:
As in any fire, wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in
pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and full
protective gear. Strong oxidizer. Contact with other material may
cause fire.
Extinguishing Media:
If water is the only media available, use in flooding amounts.
**** SECTION 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES ****
General Information: Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated
in Section 8.
Spills/Leaks:
Vacuum or sweep up material and place into a suitable disposal
container. Clean up spills immediately, observing precautions in the
Protective Equipment section. Avoid generating dusty conditions.
Provide ventilation. Do not use combustible materials such as paper
towels to clean up spill.
**** SECTION 7 - HANDLING and STORAGE ****
Handling:
Wash thoroughly after handling. Remove contaminated clothing and
wash before reuse. Use with adequate ventilation. Minimize dust
generation and accumulation. Avoid contact with clothing and other
combustible materials. Do not get on skin or in eyes. Keep from
contact with clothing and other combustible materials. Avoid
breathing dust.
Storage:
Do not store near combustible materials. Keep away from reducing
agents. Keep containers tightly closed. Avoid storage on wood floors.
**** SECTION 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS, PERSONAL PROTECTION ****
Engineering Controls:
Facilities storing or utilizing this material should be equipped
with an eyewash facility and a safety shower. Use adequate
ventilation to keep airborne concentrations low.
Exposure Limits
CAS# 10294-42-5:
CAS# 13590-82-4:
Personal Protective Equipment
Eyes:
Wear appropriate protective eyeglasses or chemical
safety goggles as described by OSHA's eye and face
protection regulations in 29 CFR 1910.133 or European
Standard EN166.
Skin:
Wear appropriate gloves to prevent skin exposure.
Clothing:
Wear appropriate clothing to prevent skin exposure.
Respirators:
Follow the OSHA respirator regulations found in 29
CFR 1910.134 or European Standard EN 149. Use a
NIOSH/MSHA or European Standard EN 149 approved
respirator if exposure limits are exceeded or if
irritation or other symptoms are experienced.

Molecular Formula: Ce(SO4)2.4H2O
Molecular Weight: 404.29
**** SECTION 10 - STABILITY AND REACTIVITY ****
Chemical Stability:
Stable under normal temperatures and pressures. Ceric sulfate
tetrahydrate loses water on heating, becoming anhydrous at
180-200C; decomposes above 350C forming CeOSO4. It is soluble in a
small quantity of water but decomposes in a large quantity of water
with separation of a basic salt.
Conditions to Avoid:
Dust generation, excess heat.
Incompatibilities with Other Materials:
Strong reducing agents.
Hazardous Decomposition Products:
Oxides of sulfur.
Hazardous Polymerization: Will not occur.
