**** SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION ****
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Highly flammable. Explosive when mixed with oxidizing substances.
Harmful to aquatic organisms, may cause long-term adverse effects in
the aquatic environment.Light sensitive.Highly toxic.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
May cause eye irritation. May result in corneal injury.
Skin:
Prolonged and/or repeated contact may cause irritation and/or
dermatitis.
Ingestion:
May be fatal if swallowed. May cause irritation of the digestive
tract. May cause liver and kidney damage.
Inhalation:
May cause respiratory tract irritation.
Chronic:
Prolonged or repeated skin contact may cause dermatitis. May cause
liver and kidney damage. Chronic exposure can lead to necrosis of the
jaw, or 'phossy-jaw'.
**** 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.
Skin:
Get medical aid. Immediately flush skin with plenty of water for at
least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes.
Wash clothing before reuse.
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:
Remove from exposure and move to fresh air immediately. If not
breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult,
give oxygen. Get medical aid.
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. Containers may explode in the heat of a fire. This
material is readily combustible and may ignite if exposed to
friction. Flammable solid. Vapors may be heavier than air. They can
spread along the ground and collect in low or confined areas. May
re-ignite after fire is extinguished.
Extinguishing Media:
DO NOT USE WATER! Cool containers with flooding quantities of water
until well after fire is out. Use dry sand, dry chemical, soda ash
or lime.
**** SECTION 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES ****
General Information: Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated
in Section 8.
Spills/Leaks:
Sweep up or absorb material, then place into a suitable clean, dry,
closed container for disposal. Avoid generating dusty conditions.
Cover with sand and place into a closed container for disposal.
Remove all sources of ignition. Use a spark-proof tool. Provide
ventilation.
**** SECTION 7 - HANDLING and STORAGE ****
Handling:
Wash thoroughly after handling. Remove contaminated clothing and
wash before reuse. Use with adequate ventilation. Ground and bond
containers when transferring material. Avoid contact with eyes, skin,
and clothing. Empty containers retain product residue, (liquid and/or
vapor), and can be dangerous. Keep away from heat, sparks and flame.
Avoid ingestion and inhalation. Store protected from light. Do not
pressurize, cut, weld, braze, solder, drill, grind, or expose empty
containers to heat, sparks or open flames.
Storage:
Keep away from heat, sparks, and flame. Keep away from sources of
ignition. Store in a tightly closed container. Store in a cool, dry,
well-ventilated area away from incompatible substances.
Flammables-area. Store protected from light.
**** SECTION 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS, PERSONAL PROTECTION ****
Engineering Controls:
Use adequate general or local exhaust ventilation to keep airborne
concentrations below the permissible exposure limits.

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.
