Notes to Physician:
**** SECTION 5 - FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES ****
General Information:
Substance is noncombustible. Use of water will produce irritating
and toxic vapors of hydrogen chloride. Hydrochloric acid solutions
react with most metals, forming flammable hydrogen gas.
Extinguishing Media:
Use extinguishing media most appropriate for the surrounding fire.
**** 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 generating dusty conditions. Provide ventilation.
**** SECTION 7 - HANDLING and STORAGE ****
Handling:
Wash thoroughly after handling. Remove contaminated clothing and
wash before reuse. Minimize dust generation and accumulation. Do not
get in eyes, on skin, or on clothing. Do not breathe dust or fumes.
Use only with adequate ventilation.
Storage:
Store in a cool, dry place. Store in a tightly closed container.
Purge container with nitrogen before resealing. Keep dry. Keep under
a nitrogen blanket. Corrosives area. Store absolutely dry.
**** 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
ventilation to keep airborne concentrations low.
Exposure Limits
CAS# 7718-98-1:
Personal Protective Equipment
