**** SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION ****
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Harmful in contact with skin and if swallowed. Causes
burns.Hygroscopic (absorbs moisture from the air).Corrosive.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Causes severe eye irritation and burns.
Skin:
Causes severe skin irritation and burns. Exposure may cause skin
lesions with cutaneous necrosis and scarring.
Ingestion:
Harmful if swallowed. May cause severe and permanent damage to the
digestive tract. Causes gastrointestinal tract burns. May cause
central nervous system depression. Ingestion may produce burning
pains in the mouth, throat and abdomen, profuse salivation, muscle
weakness, labored breathing, circulatory shock, and possible
cardiovascular collapse.
Inhalation:
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. Causes irritation of the
mucous membrane.
Chronic:
Prolonged or repeated skin contact may cause dermatitis. May cause
reproductive and fetal effects. Laboratory experiments have resulted
in mutagenic effects. Repeated or prolonged exposure may cause
allergic reactions in sensitive individuals. May cause cyanosis - a
blue-gray coloring of the skin and lips caused by a lack of oxygen.
**** 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. Discard contaminated clothing in a manner which limits
further exposure. 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:
If cyanosis is severe, intravenous injection of Methylene Blue,
1mg/kg of body weight may be of value. 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. Combustion generates toxic fumes. During a fire,
irritating and highly toxic gases may be generated by thermal
decomposition or combustion. Containers may explode in the heat of a
fire.
Extinguishing Media:
In case of fire, use water, dry chemical, chemical foam, or
alcohol-resistant foam. Use extinguishing media most appropriate for
the surrounding fire. Cool containers with flooding quantities of
water until well after fire is out.
**** 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. Clean up spills immediately, observing precautions in the
Protective Equipment section. 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
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.
Discard contaminated shoes.
Storage:
Keep from freezing. 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. Corrosives area. Store
protected from moisture. Store below 40C.
**** 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.

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 minimize
contact with skin.
Respirators:
A respiratory protection program that meets OSHA's 29
CFR 1910.134 and ANSI Z88.2 requirements or European
Standard EN 149 must be followed whenever workplace
conditions warrant respirator use.
