                  **** SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION **** 
 
                               EMERGENCY OVERVIEW 
Causes burns. May cause sensitization by inhalation and skin 
contact. Harmful to aquatic organisms, may cause long-term adverse 
effects in the aquatic environment.Corrosive.Hygroscopic (absorbs 
moisture from the air).Light sensitive. 
 
Potential Health Effects 
     Eye: 
          Contact with eyes may cause severe irritation, and possible eye 
          burns. 
     Skin: 
          May cause skin sensitization, an allergic reaction, which becomes 
          evident upon re-exposure to this material. Contact with skin causes 
          irritation and possible burns, especially if the skin is wet or 
          moist. 
     Ingestion: 
          May cause severe gastrointestinal tract irritation with nausea, 
          vomiting and possible burns. 
     Inhalation: 
          May cause irritation of the respiratory tract with burning pain in 
          the nose and throat, coughing, wheezing, shortness of breath and 
          pulmonary edema. May cause asthmatic attacks due to allergic 
          sensitization of the respiratory tract. Causes chemical burns to the 
          respiratory tract. 
     Chronic: 
          Prolonged or repeated skin contact may cause sensitization 
          dermatitis and possible destruction and/or ulceration. Prolonged or 
          repeated exposure may cause permanent eye damage. Repeated exposure 
          may cause allergic respiratory reaction (asthma). 
 
                    **** SECTION 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES **** 
 
     Eyes: 
          Get medical aid immediately. Gently lift eyelids and flush 
          continuously with water. 
     Skin: 
          Get medical aid immediately. Flush skin with plenty of water for at 
          least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and 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. 
     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. 
     Extinguishing Media: 
          In case of fire, use water, dry chemical, chemical foam, or 
          alcohol-resistant foam. 
 
                **** SECTION 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES **** 
 
     General Information: Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated 
                          in Section 8. 
     Spills/Leaks: 
          Sweep up, then place into a suitable container for disposal. 
 
                   **** SECTION 7 - HANDLING and STORAGE **** 
 
     Handling: 
          Wash thoroughly after handling. Remove contaminated clothing and 
          wash before reuse. Use with adequate ventilation. Do not get on skin 
          or in eyes. Do not ingest or inhale. 
     Storage: 
          Keep away from heat, sparks, and flame. Store in a cool, dry place.
