=======================  First Aid Measures  =======================

First Aid:INHALATION: REMOVE TO FRESH AIR. IF NOT BREATHING, GIVE
    ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION. IF BREATHING IS DIFFICULT, GIVE OXYGEN. GET
    MEDICAL HELP IMMEDIATELY. INGESTION: DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING! GIVE
    LARGE QUAN TITIES OF WATER/MILK IF AVAILABLE. NEVER GIVE ANYTHING
    BY MOUTH TO AN UNCONSCIOUS PERSON. GET MEDICAL HELP. SKIN:
    IMMEDIATELY FLUSH W/ PLENTY OF WATER FOR AT LEAST 15 MINS. WHILE
    REMOVING CONTAMINATED  CLOTHING & SHOES. WASH CLOTHING & CLEAN
    SHOES BEFORE REUSE. GET MEDICAL HELP IMMEDIATELY. EYE: IMMEDATELY
    FLUSH W/ PLENTY OF WATER FOR AT LEAST 15 MINS., LIFTING EYELIDS
    OCCASIONALLY. GET MEDICAL HEL P IMMEDIATELY.

=====================  Fire Fighting Measures  =====================

Extinguishing Media:IF INVOLVED IN A FIRE, USE WATER SPRAY. NEUTRALIZE
    WITH SODA ASH OR SLAKED LIME. EXTREME HEAT OR CONTACT WITH METALS
    CAN RELEASE FLAMMABLE HYDROGEN GAS.
Fire Fighting Procedures:WEAR FULL PROTECTIVE CLOTHING & NIOSH-APPROVED
    SCBA W/ FULL FACEPIECE OPERATED IN THE PRESSURE DEMAND OR OTHER
    PRESSURE MODE. STRUCTURAL FIREFIGHTER'S PROTECTIVE CLOTHING IS
    INEFFECTIVE FOR FIRES INVO LVING HYDROCHLORIC ACID. STAY AWAY FROM
    ENDS OF TANKS. COOL TANKS W/ WATER SPRAY UNTIL AFTER FIRE IS OUT.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:NOT CONSIDERED TO BE AN EXPLOSION HAZARD.

==================  Accidental Release Measures  ==================

Spill Release Procedures:VENTILATE AREA. WEAR PERSONAL PROTECTIVE
    EQUIPMENT. ISOLATE HAZARD AREA. KEEP  UNPROTECTED PERSONNEL FROM
    ENTERING. CONTAIN & RECOVER LIQUID WHEN POSSIBLE. NEUTRALIZE W/
    ALKALINE MATERIAL (SODA ASH, L IME), THEN ABSORB W/ INERT MATERIAL
    (E.G., VERMICULITE, DRY SAND, EARTH) & PLACE IN A CHEMICAL WASTE
    CONTAINER. DO NOT USE COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS, SUCH AS SAW. DO NOT
    FLUSH TO SEWER.
Neutralizing Agent:NEUTRALIZE WITH ALKALINE MATERIAL (SODA ASH, LIME)

======================	Handling and Storage  ======================

Handling and Storage Precautions:STORE IN A COOL, DRY, VENTILATED
    STORAGE AREA WITH ACID RESISTANT FLOORS AND GOOD VENTILATION.
    PROTECT FROM PHYSICAL DAMAGE. KEEP OUT OF DIRECT SUNLIGHT & AWAY
    FROM HEAT, WATER, INCOMPATIBLE MATERIALS . DO NOT WASH OUT
    CONTAINER AND USE IT FOR OTHER PURPOSES.
Other Precautions:WHEN DILUTING, THE ACID SHOULD ALWAYS BE ADDED SLOWLY
    TO WATER & IN SMALL AMOUNTS. NEVER USE HOT WATER & NEVER ADD WATER
    TO THE ACID. WATER ADDED TO ACID CAN CAUSE UNCONTROLLED BOILING &
    SPLASHING. WH EN OPENING METAL CONTAINERS, USE NON-SPARKING TOOLS
    BECAUSE OF POSSIBILITY OF HYDROGEN GAS BEING PRE SENT.

=============  Exposure Controls/Personal Protection  =============

Respiratory Protection:(NIOSH APPROVED): IF THE EXPOSURE LIMIT IS
    EXCEEDED, A FULL FACEPIECE RESPIRATOR W/ AN ACID GAS CARTRIDGE CAN
    BE WORN UP TO 50 TIMES THE EXPOSURE LIMIT OR THE MAXIMUM USE
    PERMITTED BY THE APPROPRIATE  REGULATORY AGENCY OR RESPIRATOR
    SUPPLIER, WHICHEVER IS LESSER.*** SEE SUPPLEMENTAL DATA***
Ventilation:LOCAL &/OR GENERAL EXHAUST IS RECOMMENDED TO KEEP EMPLOYEE
    EXPOSURE BELOW THE AIRBORNE EXPOSURE LIMITS. LOCAL EXHAUST
    VENTILATION IS PREFERRED.
Protective Gloves:USE RUBBER OR NEOPRENE GLOVES
Eye Protection:USE CHEMICAL SAFETY GOGGLES &/OR A FULL FACE SHIELD
    WHERE SPLASHING IS POSSIBLE
Other Protective Equipment:USE ADDITIONAL PROTECTION INCLUDING
    IMPERVIOUS BOOTS, APRON, COVERALLS, AS NEEDED IN AREAS OF UNUSUAL
    EXPOSURE TO PREVENT SKIN CONTACT. HAVE EYE WASH FOUNTAIN AND
    QUICK-DRENCH FACILITIES IN WORK AREA.
Work Hygienic Practices:USE IN A WELL VENTILATED AREA. AVOID CONTACT.
Supplemental Safety and Health
IN EMERGENCIES OR INSTANCES WHERE THE EXPOSURE LEVELS ARE NOT KNOWN,
    USE A POSITIVE-PRESSURE, AIR SUPPLIED RESPIRATOR. WARNING: AIR
    PURIFYING RESPIRATORS DO NOT PROTECT WORKERS IN OXYGEN-DEFICIENT
    ATM OSPHERES.
