**** SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION ****
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Causes severe burns. Contact with combustible material may cause
fire.The toxicological properties of this material have not been
fully investigated.Water-Reactive.Corrosive.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Causes severe eye irritation and burns. May cause redness, pain,
blurred vision and possible eye damage.
Skin:
May cause irritation with burning pain, itching and redness. Causes
severe skin irritation and burns.
Ingestion:
The toxicological properties of this substance have not been fully
investigated. May cause corrosion and permanent tissue destruction of
the esophagus and digestive tract. Ingestion may cause gastritis,
esophagitis, vomiting and diarrhea.
Inhalation:
Causes chemical burns to the respiratory tract. The toxicological
properties of this substance have not been fully investigated.
Inhalation may cause sore throat, shortness of breath, labored
breathing, coughing, and pulmonary edema.
Chronic:
No information found.
**** SECTION 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES ****
Eyes:
Get medical aid immediately. Do NOT allow victim to rub 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
soap and 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 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. Strong oxidizer. Contact with combustible materials
may cause a fire. Water Reactive. Material will react with water and
may release a flammable and/or toxic gas. Will react with water to
form toxic and corrosive fumes. May ignite or explode on contact with
steam or moist air.
Extinguishing Media:
Do NOT use carbon dioxide. Do NOT use alcohol foams. DO NOT USE
WATER! Contact professional fire-fighters immediately. Cool
containers with flooding quantities of water until well after fire
is out. For large fires, use dry sand, dry chemical, soda ash or lime
or withdraw from area and let fire burn. For small fires, use dry
chemical, soda ash, lime or dry sand.
**** 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. 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. Cover with dry
earth, dry sand, or other non-combustible material followed with
plastic sheet to minimize spreading and contact with water. Stop
leak only if you can do so without risk. Use water spray to reduce
vapors or divert vapor cloud drift.
**** SECTION 7 - HANDLING and STORAGE ****
Handling:
Wash thoroughly after handling. Remove contaminated clothing and
wash before reuse. 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. Use only in a chemical fume hood. 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. Keep container closed when not in use. Keep
under a nitrogen blanket. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area
away from incompatible substances. Keep away from water. Corrosives
area. Store protected from moisture.
**** 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 only under a chemical fume hood.
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 gloves 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.
