**** SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION ****

EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Causes burns. Irritating to eyes, respiratory system and
skin.Corrosive.Water-reactive.

Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Causes eye burns. Contact with eyes may cause severe irritation,
and possible eye burns. May cause chemical conjunctivitis and
corneal damage.
Skin:
Causes skin burns. May cause skin sensitization, an allergic
reaction, which becomes evident upon re-exposure to this material.
May cause severe irritation and possible 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 irritation of the digestive tract and possible
burns. May cause systemic effects.
Inhalation:
May cause asthmatic attacks due to allergic sensitization of the
respiratory tract. Causes chemical burns to the respiratory tract.
May cause severe respiratory tract irritation and possible burns.
Aspiration may lead to pulmonary edema. May cause systemic effects.
Chronic:
Effects may be delayed.

**** SECTION 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES ****

Eyes:
Get medical aid immediately. Do NOT allow victim to rub eyes or keep
eyes closed. Gently lift eyelids and flush continuously with water.
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. Wash clothing before reuse. 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 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. Vapors can travel to a source of ignition and flash
back. During a fire, irritating and highly toxic gases may be
generated by thermal decomposition or combustion. Dust can be an
explosion hazard when exposed to heat or flame. Reacts with water to
form explosive hydrogen gas. Flammable solid. Vapors may be heavier
than air. They can spread along the ground and collect in low or
confined areas. Containers may explode when heated or if contaminated
with water.
Extinguishing Media:
Do NOT get water inside containers. For large fires, use water
spray, fog or alcohol-resistant foam. Do NOT use straight streams of
water. For small fires, use carbon dioxide, dry chemical, dry sand,
or alcohol-resistant foam. 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:
Clean up spills immediately, observing precautions in the Protective
Equipment section. Sweep up or absorb material, then place into a
suitable clean, dry, closed container for disposal. Avoid generating
dusty conditions. Remove all sources of ignition. Use a spark-proof
tool. Provide ventilation. Do not get water inside containers.

**** SECTION 7 - HANDLING and STORAGE ****

Handling:
Wash thoroughly after handling. Use only in a well-ventilated area.
Use with adequate ventilation. Ground and bond containers when
transferring material. 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. Do not ingest or inhale. Do not allow
contact with water. Discard contaminated shoes. Do not pressurize,
cut, weld, braze, solder, drill, grind, or expose empty containers to
heat, sparks or open flames.
Storage:
Keep container closed when not in use. Store in a cool, dry,
well-ventilated area away from incompatible substances. Keep away
from water. Corrosives area.

**** 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. Use adequate
general or local exhaust ventilation to keep airborne concentrations
below the permissible exposure limits.

Standard EN 149 must be followed whenever workplace
conditions warrant respirator use. Follow the OSHA
respirator regulations found in 29 CFR 1910.134 or
European Standard EN 149. Use a NIOSH/MSHA or
