**** SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION ****
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Causes burns. Toxic in contact with skin and if swallowed.Corrosive.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Causes eye burns. May result in corneal injury. Contact with
liquid is corrosive to the eyes and causes severe burns.
Skin:
Causes skin burns. May be absorbed through the skin in harmful
amounts.
Ingestion:
May cause severe and permanent damage to the digestive tract. Causes
gastrointestinal tract burns. Causes severe digestive tract burns
with abdominal pain, vomiting, and possible death. Aspiration of
material into the lungs may cause chemical pneumonitis, which may be
fatal.
Inhalation:
Irritation may lead to chemical pneumonitis and pulmonary edema. May
cause liver and kidney damage. May cause severe irritation of the
upper respiratory tract with pain, burns, and inflammation. Causes
chemical burns to the respiratory tract.
Chronic:
Chronic inhalation and ingestion may cause effects similar to those
of acute inhalation and ingestion.
**** SECTION 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES ****
Eyes:
Flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes,
occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Get medical aid
immediately. Do NOT allow victim to rub eyes or keep eyes closed.
Extensive irrigation with water is required (at least 30 minutes).
Skin:
Get medical aid immediately. Flush skin with plenty of water for at
least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes.
Immediately flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes
while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash clothing before
reuse. Destroy contaminated shoes.
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:
Get medical aid immediately. Remove from exposure and move to fresh
air immediately. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If
breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical aid if cough or
other symptoms appear. Do NOT use mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. If
breathing has ceased apply artificial respiration using oxygen and a
suitable mechanical device such as a bag and a mask.
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. Water runoff can cause environmental damage. Dike
and collect water used to fight fire. During a fire, irritating and
highly toxic gases may be generated by thermal decomposition or
combustion. Vapors may be heavier than air. They can spread along
the ground and collect in low or confined areas. May polymerize
explosively when involved in a fire.
Extinguishing Media:
For small fires, use water spray, dry chemical, carbon dioxide or
chemical foam.
**** SECTION 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES ****
General Information: Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated
in Section 8.
Spills/Leaks:
Absorb spill with inert material (e.g. vermiculite, sand or earth),
then place in suitable container. Avoid runoff into storm sewers and
ditches which lead to waterways. Clean up spills immediately,
observing precautions in the Protective Equipment section. Wear a
self contained breathing apparatus and appropriate personal
protection. (See Exposure Controls, Personal Protection section).
Remove all sources of ignition. Provide ventilation.
**** SECTION 7 - HANDLING and STORAGE ****
Handling:
Wash thoroughly after handling. Remove contaminated clothing and
wash before reuse. Use only in a well-ventilated area. Minimize dust
generation and accumulation. Do not get in eyes, on skin, or on
clothing. Empty containers retain product residue, (liquid and/or
vapor), and can be dangerous. Keep container tightly closed. Do not
ingest or inhale. Discard contaminated shoes. Do not pressurize,
cut, weld, braze, solder, drill, grind, or expose empty containers to
heat, sparks or open flames.
Storage:
Keep container closed when not in use. Store in a tightly closed
container. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from
incompatible substances.
**** 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.
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 protective gloves to prevent skin
exposure.
Clothing:
Wear appropriate protective clothing to minimize
contact with skin. Wear appropriate protective
clothing to prevent skin exposure.
Respirators:
A respiratory protection program that meets OSHA's 29
CFR 1910.134 and ANSI Z88.2 requirements or European
Standard EN 149 must be followed whenever workplace
conditions warrant a respirator's use. Follow the
OSHA respirator regulations found in 29 CFR 1910.134
or European Standard EN 149. Always use a NIOSH or
European Standard EN 149 approved respirator when
necessary.
