**** SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION ****
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Reacts violently with water liberating highly flammable gases. May
form explosive peroxides. Causes burns.Corrosive.Air sensitive.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Causes eye burns. May cause lacrimation (tearing), blurred vision,
and photophobia. 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. May cause nausea, vomiting,
abdominal pain, and increased salivation.
Inhalation:
Dust is irritating to the respiratory tract. Causes chemical burns
to the respiratory tract. Aspiration may lead to pulmonary edema. May
cause systemic effects. Olfactory fatigue may occur. Can produce
delayed pulmonary edema.
Chronic:
Effects may be delayed.
**** SECTION 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES ****
Eyes:
Get medical aid immediately. Do NOT allow victim to rub 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
soap and water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated
clothing and shoes. Wash clothing before reuse. Discard contaminated
clothing in a manner which limits further exposure.
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 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. Water
Reactive. Material will react with water and may release a flammable
and/or toxic gas. Containers may explode in the heat of a fire. Dust
can be an explosion hazard when exposed to heat or flame. May form
explosive peroxides. Flammable solid. May burn rapidly with flare
burning effect. May re-ignite after fire is extinguished.
Extinguishing Media:
Do NOT use water directly on fire. Do NOT get water inside
containers. Contact professional fire-fighters immediately. Cool
containers with flooding quantities of water until well after fire
is out. For small fires, use dry chemical, soda ash, lime or sand.
For large fires, use dry sand, dry chemical, soda ash or lime or
withdraw from area and let fire burn.
**** 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. Scoop up with a nonsparking tool, then place into
a suitable container for disposal. Avoid generating dusty
conditions. Remove all sources of ignition. Use a spark-proof tool.
Provide ventilation. Place under an inert atmosphere. Use water
spray to reduce vapors, do not put water directly on leak, spill
area or inside container.
**** SECTION 7 - HANDLING and STORAGE ****
Handling:
Wash thoroughly after handling. Remove contaminated clothing and
wash before reuse. Use only in a well-ventilated area. Minimize dust
generation and accumulation. Do not breathe dust, vapor, mist, or
gas. Do not get in eyes, on skin, or on clothing. Empty containers
retain product residue, (liquid and/or vapor), and can be dangerous.
Keep container tightly closed. Avoid contact with heat, sparks and
flame. Handle under an inert atmosphere. Store protected from air.
Discard contaminated shoes. 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. Keep container closed when not in use. Store in a cool,
dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible substances. Keep
away from water. Flammables-area. Do not expose to air. Store under
an inert atmosphere.
**** 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 general or
local explosion-proof ventilation to keep airborne levels to
acceptable levels.
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:
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 a respirator's use.
