**** SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION ****
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Reacts violently with water. Causes burns.Air
sensitive.Water-reactive.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Causes eye burns.
Skin:
Causes skin burns.
Ingestion:
Causes gastrointestinal tract burns. The toxicological properties of
this substance have not been fully investigated.
Inhalation:
Causes chemical burns to the respiratory tract. The toxicological
properties of this substance have not been fully investigated.
Chronic:
Chronic exposure may cause effects similar to those of acute
exposure.
**** 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. Do NOT allow victim to rub eyes or keep eyes closed.
Skin:
Get medical aid immediately. Immediately flush skin with plenty of
water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing
and shoes. If water-reactive products are embedded in the skin, no
water should be applied. The embedded products should be covered
with a light oil.
Ingestion:
Do not induce vomiting. If victim is conscious and alert, give 2-4
cupfuls of milk or water. Get medical aid immediately.
Inhalation:
Get medical aid immediately. Remove from exposure and move to fresh
air immediately. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. 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. During a fire, irritating and highly toxic gases
may be generated by thermal decomposition or combustion. Water
Reactive. Material will react with water and may release a flammable
and/or toxic gas. May ignite or explode on contact with steam or
moist air. May re-ignite after fire is extinguished.
Extinguishing Media:
Use dry sand or earth to smother fire. Use foam, dry chemical, or
carbon dioxide. DO NOT USE WATER! Contact professional fire-fighters
immediately.
**** SECTION 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES ****
General Information: Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated
in Section 8.
Spills/Leaks:
Clean up spills immediately, observing precautions in the Protective
Equipment section. Avoid generating dusty conditions. Provide
ventilation. Do not expose spill to water. Cover with dry earth, dry
sand, or other non-combustible material followed with plastic sheet
to minimize spreading and contact with water.
**** SECTION 7 - HANDLING and STORAGE ****
Handling:
Do not allow water to get into the container because of violent
reaction. Do not breathe dust, vapor, mist, or gas. Do not get in
eyes, on skin, or on clothing. Keep container tightly closed. Do not
ingest or inhale. Do not allow contact with water. Use only in a
chemical fume hood. Discard contaminated shoes. Keep from contact
with moist air and steam.
Storage:
Store in a cool, dry place. Keep container closed when not in use.
Store in a tightly closed container. Keep away from water. Corrosives
area. Storage under a nitrogen blanket has been recommended.
**** SECTION 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS, PERSONAL PROTECTION ****
Engineering Controls:
Use explosion-proof ventilation equipment. 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.
