**** SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION ****
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Causes burns.Corrosive.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Contact with liquid is corrosive to the eyes and causes severe
burns.
Skin:
Contact with liquid is corrosive and causes severe burns and
ulceration.
Ingestion:
Causes gastrointestinal tract burns.
Inhalation:
Effects may be delayed. Causes severe irritation of upper
respiratory tract with coughing, burns, breathing difficulty, and
possible coma.
Chronic:
Prolonged exposure may cause respiratory tract inflammation, kidney
damage, muscle cramps, bone marrow depression and generalized
allergic reaction.
**** 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.
Skin:
Get medical aid. Immediately flush skin with plenty of water for at

breathing is difficult, give oxygen.
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.
Extinguishing Media:
Substance is noncombustible; use agent most appropriate to
extinguish surrounding fire.
**** 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. Clean up spills immediately,
observing precautions in the Protective Equipment section.
**** SECTION 7 - HANDLING and STORAGE ****
Handling:
Wash thoroughly after handling. Wash hands before eating. Use with
adequate ventilation. Do not get in eyes, on skin, or on clothing. Do
not ingest or inhale.
Storage:
Store in a cool, dry place. Keep container closed when not in use.
**** SECTION 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS, PERSONAL PROTECTION ****
Engineering Controls:
Use adequate general or local exhaust ventilation to keep airborne
concentrations below the permissible exposure limits.
