**** SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION ****
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Harmful by inhalation, in contact with skin and if swallowed. Causes
burns.Corrosive.The toxicological properties of this material have
not been fully investigated.Light sensitive.Hygroscopic (absorbs
moisture from the air).
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Contact with liquid is corrosive to the eyes and causes severe
burns.
Skin:
Causes severe skin irritation and burns. May be harmful if absorbed
through the skin.
Ingestion:
May cause severe and permanent damage to the digestive tract. Causes
gastrointestinal tract burns. The toxicological properties of this
substance have not been fully investigated. Ingestion of silver
compounds may cause abdominal pain, rigidity, convulsions and shock.
May be harmful if swallowed.
Inhalation:
Causes chemical burns to the respiratory tract. The toxicological
properties of this substance have not been fully investigated. May
be harmful if inhaled. Inhalation may produce burning sensation,
coughing, wheezing, laryngitis, shortness of breath, headache,
nausea, and vomiting. Antimony compounds may enter the body through
the lungs.
Chronic:
Chronic effects include excessive calcification of the bones,
ligaments, and tendons. Chronic overexposure to silver compounds may
cause argyria (a slate gray or bluish discoloration of the skin and
deep tissues due to the deposit of insoluble albuminate of silver).
Effects of contact or inhalation 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.
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.
Extinguishing Media:
Use dry chemical. Do NOT get water inside containers. 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. Sweep up, then place into a suitable container for
disposal. Avoid generating dusty conditions. Provide ventilation. Do
not get water inside containers.
**** SECTION 7 - HANDLING and STORAGE ****
Handling:
Wash thoroughly after handling. Remove contaminated clothing and
wash before reuse. Use only in a well-ventilated area. Minimize dust
generation and accumulation. Do not get in eyes, on skin, or on
clothing. Keep container tightly closed. Do not ingest or inhale.
Store protected from light. Discard contaminated shoes.
Storage:
Keep container closed when not in use. Store in a cool, dry,
well-ventilated area away from incompatible substances. Corrosives
area. Keep containers tightly closed. Store protected from moisture.
Store protected from light.
**** 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.
Exposure Limits
CAS# 26042-64-8:
Personal Protective Equipment
Eyes:

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 clothing to minimize
contact with skin.
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.
