**** SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION ****
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Causes severe burns.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Contact with liquid or vapor causes severe burns and possible
irreversible eye damage.
Skin:
Causes skin burns. May be harmful if absorbed through the skin.
Contact with the skin may cause blackening and hyperkeratosis of the
skin of the hands.
Ingestion:
May cause severe and permanent damage to the digestive tract. Causes
severe pain, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and shock. May cause
polyuria, oliguria (excretion of a diminished amount of urine in
relation to the fluid intake) and anuria (complete suppression of
urination). Rapidly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract.
Inhalation:
Effects may be delayed. Causes chemical burns to the respiratory
tract. Exposure may lead to bronchitis, pharyngitis, and dental
erosion. May be absorbed through the lungs.
Chronic:
Chronic exposure to acetic acid may cause erosion of dental enamel,
bronchitis, eye irritation, darkening of the skin, and chronic
inflammation of the respiratory tract. Acetic acid can cause
occupational asthma. One case of a delayed asthmatic response to
glacial acetic acid has been reported in a person with bronchial
asthma. Skin sensitization to acetic acid is rare, but has occurred.
**** 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:
Persons with pre-existing skin disorders or impaired respiratory or
pulmonary function may be at increased risk to the effects of this
substance. Treat symptomatically and supportively.
**** 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. Reacts with most metals
to form highly flammable hydrogen gas which can form explosive
mixtures with air. Combustible liquid and vapor. Vapors are heavier
than air and may travel to a source of ignition and flash back.
Vapors can spread along the ground and collect in low or confined
areas.
Extinguishing Media:
Use water spray, dry chemical, "alcohol resistant" foam, or carbon
dioxide.
**** 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. Wash area with soap and water.
Remove all sources of ignition. Use a spark-proof tool. Provide
ventilation. Use water spray to cool and disperse vapors, protect
personnel, and dilute spills to form nonflammable mixtures. Control
runoff and isolate discharged material for proper disposal. Spill may
be carefully neutralized with soda ash (sodium carbonate).
**** SECTION 7 - HANDLING and STORAGE ****
Handling:
Wash thoroughly after handling. Remove contaminated clothing and
wash before reuse. Ground and bond containers when transferring
material. Do not get in eyes, on skin, or on clothing. Empty
containers retain product residue, (liquid and/or vapor), and can be
dangerous. Discard contaminated shoes. Do not pressurize, cut, weld,
braze, solder, drill, grind, or expose empty containers to heat,
sparks or open flames. Use only with adequate ventilation. Keep away
from heat, sparks and flame. Do not breathe vapor or mist. Use
corrosion-resistant transfer equipment when dispensing.
Storage:
Keep away from heat, sparks, and flame. Keep from contact with
oxidizing materials. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away
from incompatible substances. Do not store near alkaline substances.
**** 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 general or
local exhaust ventilation to keep airborne concentrations below the
permissible exposure limits. Use a corrosion-resistant ventilation
system.
