**** SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION ****
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Causes severe burns.Corrosive.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Causes severe eye burns. May cause irreversible eye injury. 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:
Harmful if inhaled. May cause severe irritation of the respiratory
tract with sore throat, coughing, shortness of breath and delayed
lung edema. Causes chemical burns to the respiratory tract.
Aspiration may lead to pulmonary edema. May cause systemic effects.
Chronic:
Prolonged or repeated inhalation may cause nosebleeds, nasal
congestion, erosion of the teeth, perforation of the nasal septum,
chest pain and bronchitis. Prolonged or repeated eye contact may
cause conjunctivitis. Effects may be delayed.
**** SECTION 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES ****
Eyes:
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. SPEEDY ACTION IS CRITICAL!
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 not breathing, give artificial respiration. 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:
**** 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. Wear
appropriate protective clothing to prevent contact with skin and
eyes. Wear a self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) to prevent
contact with thermal decomposition products. Contact with water can
cause violent liberation of heat and splattering of the material.
Extinguishing Media:
Do NOT use water directly on fire. Use water spray to cool
fire-exposed containers. Use dry chemical to fight fire.
**** SECTION 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES ****
General Information: Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated
in Section 8.
Spills/Leaks:
Avoid runoff into storm sewers and ditches which lead to waterways.
Clean up spills immediately, observing precautions in the Protective
Equipment section. Cover with sand, dry lime or soda ash and place in
a closed container for disposal. Provide ventilation.
**** SECTION 7 - HANDLING and STORAGE ****
Handling:
Wash thoroughly after handling. Remove contaminated clothing and
wash before reuse. 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. Do
not allow contact with water. Use only in a chemical fume hood.
Discard contaminated shoes.
Storage:
Do not store near combustible materials. Keep container closed when
not in use. Store in a dry area. Store in a cool, dry,
well-ventilated area away from incompatible substances. Corrosives
area. Do not store near alkaline substances.
**** SECTION 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS, PERSONAL PROTECTION ****
Engineering Controls:
Use process enclosure, local exhaust ventilation, or other
engineering controls to control airborne levels below recommended
exposure limits. Facilities storing or utilizing this material should
be equipped with an eyewash facility and a safety shower.
