**** SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION ****
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Reacts violently with water liberating extremely flammable gases.
Causes burns.Water-reactive.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
May cause irreversible eye injury. Contact with eyes may cause
severe irritation, and possible eye burns.
Skin:
May cause severe skin irritation with possible burns, especially if
skin is wet or moist.
Ingestion:
May cause severe gastrointestinal tract irritation with nausea,
vomiting and possible burns. May cause systemic toxic effects on the
heart, liver, and kidneys.
Inhalation:
May cause lung damage.
Chronic:
No information found.
**** SECTION 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES ****
Eyes:
Get medical aid immediately. Gently lift eyelids and flush
continuously with water. Extensive irrigation with water is required
(at least 30 minutes).
Skin:
Get medical aid immediately. Flush skin with plenty of water for at
least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes.
Ingestion:
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 not breathing, give artificial respiration. If
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. Forms peroxides of unknown stability. Water
Reactive. May react exothermically with water, causing liberation of
heat and possible spattering of material. Reacts with water to form
explosive hydrogen gas.
Extinguishing Media:
Do NOT use carbon dioxide. Do NOT use alcohol foams. Do NOT use
halogenated agents. Use approved class D extinguishing agents or
smother with dry sand, clay, or sodium bicarbonate. DO NOT USE WATER!
**** SECTION 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES ****
General Information: Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated
in Section 8.
Spills/Leaks:
Cover with limestone and place into a closed container for disposal.
Remove all sources of ignition. Use a spark-proof tool. Isolate area
and deny entry. Do not expose spill to water. Cover with material
such as dry soda ash or calcium carbonate and place into a closed
container for disposal.
**** SECTION 7 - HANDLING and STORAGE ****
Handling:
Wash thoroughly after handling. Remove contaminated clothing and
wash before reuse. Do not allow water to get into the container
because of violent reaction. Do not get in eyes, on skin, or on
clothing. Do not ingest or inhale. Faceshield required. Store and
handle protected from air. Avoid mechanical shock and friction.
Storage:
Do not store near combustible materials. Store in a cool, dry place.
Storage under a nitrogen blanket has been recommended.
**** SECTION 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS, PERSONAL PROTECTION ****
Engineering Controls:
Use explosion-proof ventilation equipment. Use process enclosure,
local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to control
airborne levels.
Exposure Limits
CAS# 7440-09-7:
Personal Protective Equipment
Eyes:
Wear appropriate protective eyeglasses or chemical
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 prevent skin
exposure.
Respirators:
Follow the OSHA respirator regulations found in 29
CFR 1910.134 or European Standard EN 149. Use a
NIOSH/MSHA or European Standard EN 149 approved
respirator if exposure limits are exceeded or if
irritation or other symptoms are experienced.
