**** SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION ****
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Causes burns. Very toxic to aquatic organisms.Corrosive.Lachrymator
(substance which increases the flow of tears).
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Contact with liquid or vapor causes severe burns and possible
irreversible eye damage. Lachrymator (substance which increases the
flow of tears).
Skin:
Causes severe skin irritation. Causes skin burns. May cause deep,
penetrating ulcers of the skin. Contact with the skin may cause
staining, inflammation, and thickening of the skin.
Ingestion:
Harmful if swallowed. May cause severe and permanent damage to the
digestive tract. Causes gastrointestinal tract burns. Causes throat
constriction, vomiting, convulsions, and shock.
Inhalation:
Effects may be delayed. Causes severe irritation of upper
respiratory tract with coughing, burns, breathing difficulty, and
possible coma.
Chronic:
Prolonged inhalation may cause respiratory tract inflammation and
lung damage. Chronic ingestion may cause effects similar to those of
acute ingestion. Prolonged or repeated exposure may cause corneal
damage and the development of cataracts and glaucoma.
**** SECTION 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES ****
Eyes:
In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for
at least 15 minutes. Get medical aid immediately.
Skin:
In case of contact, immediately flush skin with plenty of water for
at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes.
Get medical aid immediately. Wash clothing before reuse.
Ingestion:
If swallowed, do NOT induce vomiting. Get medical aid immediately.
If victim is fully conscious, give a cupful of water. Never give
anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
Inhalation:
If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial
respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical aid.
Notes to Physician:
After inhalation exposure, observe for 24 to 72 hours as pulmonary
edema may be delayed.
**** 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. Use water
spray to keep fire-exposed containers cool. Vapors may be heavier
than air. They can spread along the ground and collect in low or
confined areas. Contact with metals may evolve flammable hydrogen
gas. Containers may explode when heated. Ammonium Hydroxide itself is
non-combustible. However concentrated ammonia solutions may give off
ammonia vapours. Ammonia gas is generally not considered a serious
fire or explosion hazard because ammonia/air mixtures are difficult
to ignite. A relatively high concentration of ammonia gas must be
present in order for ignition to occur. However, a large and intense
energy source may cause ignition and/or explosion in a confined
space.
Extinguishing Media:
For small fires, use water spray, dry chemical, carbon dioxide or
chemical foam. Do NOT get water inside containers. For large fires,
use dry chemical, carbon dioxide, alcohol-resistant foam, or water
spray. 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:
Absorb spill with inert material (e.g. vermiculite, sand or earth),
then place in suitable container. Neutralize spill with a weak acid
such as vinegar or acetic acid. Avoid runoff into storm sewers and
ditches which lead to waterways. Clean up spills immediately,
observing precautions in the Protective Equipment section. 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. Do not get in
eyes, on skin, or on clothing. Keep container tightly closed. Do not
ingest or inhale. Discard contaminated shoes.
Storage:
Do not store in direct sunlight. Store in a tightly closed
container. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from
incompatible substances. Corrosives area.
**** 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 chemical goggles.
Skin:
Wear appropriate protective gloves to prevent skin
exposure.
Clothing:
Wear appropriate protective clothing to prevent skin
exposure.
Respirators:
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.

**** SECTION 10 - STABILITY AND REACTIVITY ****
Chemical Stability:
Stable under normal temperatures and pressures. Ammonium Hydroxide
is actually a solution of 28-29% NH3 in water. Therefore the
flammable properties of Ammonia apply.

fluorine, gold + aqua regia, hydrochloric acid, hydrofluoric acid,
iodine, nitric acid, oleum, propiolactone, propylene oxide, silver
nitrate, silver oxide, silver oxide + ethyl alcohol, nitromethane,
silver permanganate, sulfuric acid, halogens. Forms explosive
compounds with many heavy metals and halide salts.
Hazardous Decomposition Products:
Nitrogen oxides (NOx) and ammonia (NH3).
Hazardous Polymerization: Has not been reported.
