**** SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION ****
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Irritating to eyes.Hygroscopic (absorbs moisture from the air).
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Contact with eyes may cause severe irritation, and possible eye
burns.
Skin:
Contact with skin causes irritation and possible burns, especially
if the skin is wet or moist.
Ingestion:
May cause severe gastrointestinal tract irritation with nausea,
vomiting and possible burns. May cause cardiac disturbances. May be
harmful if swallowed.
Inhalation:
May cause severe irritation of the upper respiratory tract with
pain, burns, and inflammation.
Chronic:
Effects may be delayed.
**** 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.
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:
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.
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. Do NOT use mouth-to-mouth
resuscitation.
Notes to Physician:
**** SECTION 5 - FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES ****
General Information:
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.
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. 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. Use with adequate ventilation.
Minimize dust generation and accumulation. Keep container tightly
closed. Do not get on skin or in eyes. Do not ingest or inhale. Wash
clothing before reuse. Always use cool water when dissolving calcium
chloride. Heat evolved is significant.
Storage:
Store in a tightly closed container. Store in a cool, dry,
well-ventilated area away from incompatible substances. Store
protected from moisture. Store below melting point.
**** 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# 7774-34-7:
Personal Protective Equipment
