**** SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION ****

EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Reacts violently with water. Causes severe burns. Contact with
combustible material may cause fire.Corrosive.Water-reactive.

Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Causes severe eye burns. When substance becomes wet or comes in
contact with moisture of the mucous membranes, it will cause
irritation. May cause permanent corneal opacification. May cause
chemical conjunctivitis and corneal damage.
Skin:
Causes skin burns. May cause skin rash (in milder cases), and cold
and clammy skin with cyanosis or pale color.
Ingestion:
May cause severe and permanent damage to the digestive tract. Causes
gastrointestinal tract burns. May cause perforation of the digestive
tract. The toxicological properties of this substance have not been
fully investigated. May cause systemic effects. May cause nausea,
vomiting, and diarrhea, possibly with blood.
Inhalation:
Causes chemical burns to the respiratory tract. The toxicological
properties of this substance have not been fully investigated.
Aspiration may lead to pulmonary edema. May cause systemic effects.
May cause acute pulmonary edema, asphyxia, chemical pneumonitis, and
upper airway obstruction caused by edema.
Chronic:
Effects may be delayed.

**** SECTION 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES ****

Eyes:
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. 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.
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. 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 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. Oxidizer. Greatly increases the burning rate of
combustible materials. May ignite or explode on contact with steam
or moist air. Some oxidizers may react explosively with
hydrocarbons(fuel). May accelerate burning if involved in a fire.
Containers may explode when heated. May re-ignite after fire is
extinguished.
Extinguishing Media:
Use dry sand or earth to smother fire. DO NOT USE WATER! Do NOT get
water inside containers. Contact professional fire-fighters
immediately. Cool containers with flooding quantities of water until
well after fire is out.

**** 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. Remove all
sources of ignition. Provide ventilation. Do not expose spill to
water. 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 only in a well-ventilated area. Do not allow
water to get into the container because of violent reaction. Minimize
dust generation and accumulation. Do not breathe dust, vapor, mist,
or gas. Do not get in eyes, on skin, or on clothing. Keep container
tightly closed. Avoid contact with clothing and other combustible
materials. Do not ingest or inhale. Do not allow contact with water.
Discard contaminated shoes. Keep from contact with moist air and
steam.
Storage:
Keep away from heat, sparks, and flame. Do not store near
combustible materials. Store in a cool, dry place. Keep container
closed when not in use. Keep away from water. Corrosives area.

**** 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 process enclosure, local exhaust
ventilation, or other engineering controls to control airborne
levels.
Exposure Limits
CAS# 12030-88-5:


Personal Protective Equipment

Eyes:

exposure.
Clothing:
Wear a chemical apron. 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 respirator use.
