                  **** SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION **** 
 
                               EMERGENCY OVERVIEW 
Causes burns.Stench.Corrosive. 
 
Potential Health Effects 
     Eye: 
          Causes eye burns.  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. May cause systemic effects. 
     Inhalation: 
          Causes chemical burns to the respiratory tract. Inhalation may be 
          fatal as a result of spasm, inflammation, edema of the larynx and 
          bronchi, chemical pneumonitis and pulmonary edema. May cause 
          systemic effects. May cause burning sensation, coughing, wheezing, 
          laryngitis, shortness of breath, headache, nausea, and vomiting. 
     Chronic: 
          Effects may be delayed. 
 
                    **** 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. 
          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: 
          Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical 
          aid immediately. Do NOT induce vomiting. If conscious and alert, 
          rinse mouth and drink 2-4 cupfuls of milk or water. 
     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 victim ingested or inhaled the 
          substance; induce artificial respiration with the aid of a pocket 
          mask equipped with a one-way valve or other proper respiratory 
          medical device. 
     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: 
          In case of fire, use carbon dioxide, dry chemical powder or 
          appropriate foam. 
 
                **** 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. Cover with 
          sand, dry lime or soda ash and place in a closed container for 
          disposal. Provide ventilation. 
 
                   **** SECTION 7 - HANDLING and STORAGE **** 
 
     Handling: 
          Use only in a well-ventilated area. 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. Discard 
          contaminated shoes. 
     Storage: 
          Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible 
          substances. Corrosives area. Keep containers tightly closed. 
 
          **** 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.
