**** SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION ****
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Reacts violently with water liberating extremely flammable gases.
Causes burns.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Causes eye burns.
Skin:
Causes skin burns.
Ingestion:
Causes gastrointestinal tract burns.
Inhalation:
May cause irritation of the respiratory tract with burning pain in
the nose and throat, coughing, wheezing, shortness of breath and
pulmonary edema. 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.
Chronic:
No information found.
**** 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:
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:
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. Reacts with water to form explosive hydrogen gas.
May ignite or explode on contact with steam or moist air.
Extinguishing Media:
Use dry sand or earth to smother fire. Do NOT use carbon dioxide.
Use approved class D extinguishing agents or smother with dry sand,
clay, or sodium bicarbonate. DO NOT USE WATER! Contact professional
fire-fighters immediately.
**** SECTION 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES ****
General Information: Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated
in Section 8.
Spills/Leaks:
Vacuum or sweep up material and place into a suitable disposal
container. Avoid runoff into storm sewers and ditches which lead to
waterways. Clean up spills immediately, observing precautions in the
Protective Equipment section. Remove all sources of ignition. Use a
spark-proof tool. Provide ventilation. Do not expose spill to water.
**** SECTION 7 - HANDLING and STORAGE ****
Handling:
Do not allow water to get into the container because of violent
reaction. Use spark-proof tools and explosion proof equipment. Do
not breathe dust, vapor, mist, or gas. Do not get in eyes, on skin,
or on clothing. Keep container tightly closed. Use with adequate
ventilation. Store protected from air. Use and store under nitrogen.
Do not allow contact with water. Container should be opened by a
technically qualified person. Discard contaminated shoes. Keep from
contact with moist air and steam.
Storage:
Keep away from sources of ignition. Keep container closed when not
in use. Store in a tightly closed container. Store in a cool, dry,
well-ventilated area away from incompatible substances. Keep away
from water. Water free area. Store in inert atmospheres, such as
argon or nitrogen, under liquids that are oxygen free, such as
toluene or kerosene, or in glass capsules that have been filled
under vacuum or inert atmosphere.
**** SECTION 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS, PERSONAL PROTECTION ****
Engineering Controls:
Use explosion-proof ventilation equipment. 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# 7440-09-7:
Personal Protective Equipment
Eyes:
Wear chemical splash goggles and face shield.
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.

stored under mineral oil; may explode violently when handled or cut.
Oxide-coated potassium should be destroyed by burning.
Conditions to Avoid:
Exposure to air, contact with water, exposure to moist air or water.
Incompatibilities with Other Materials:
Water, oxidizing agents.
Hazardous Decomposition Products:
Hydrogen gas, peroxides, oxides of potassium.
Hazardous Polymerization: Will not occur.
