===================== Hazards Identification =====================
Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:No IARC:No OSHA:No
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:
======================= First Aid Measures =======================
First Aid: INHALATION: It is unlikely that emergency treatment will be
required. However, in case of contact with media remove to fresh
air. If breathing has stopped, give artificial respiration. If
breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Maintain airway, blood
pressure, and respiration. Keep warm and at rest. Get medical
attention immediately. SKIN CONTACT: It is unlikely that emergency
treatment will be required. However, in case of contact with media
promptly wash with soap and running water. Remove contaminated
clothing. Wash clothing before reuse. If burns occur from exposure
to hydrogen chloride, proceed with the following: Cover affected
area securely with sterile, loose-fitting dressing. Treat
symptomatically and supportively. Get medical attention
immediately. EYE CONTACT: It is unlikely that emergency treatment
will be required. However, in case of contact with compound,
immediately flush with plenty of low pressure water for at least 20
minutes. Remove any contact lenses to ensure thorough flushing.
Call a physician. INGESTION: The system is sold as a sealed unit
and exposure to the compound via ingestion is not expected. If
ingestion does occur, call a physician. Avoid gastric lavage or
emesis. Give large amounts of water or milk. Repeat if vomiting
occurs. Never make an unconscious person vomit or drink fluids. If
vomiting occurs, keep head lower than hips to help prevent
aspiration. Maintain airway and respiration. Treat symptomatically
and supportively. Get medical attention immediately.
===================== Fire Fighting Measures =====================
Extinguishing Media:regular dry chemical, dry sand, lime, soda ash
Fire Fighting Procedures:Do not use water. Do not use foam. Move
container from fire area if it can be done without risk. Avoid
inhalation of material or combustion by-products. Reacts with
moisture and carbon dioxide in air to release flammable hydrogen
gas and a temperature rise sufficient to char and possibly ignite
combustible materials.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:Negligible fire hazard.
================== Accidental Release Measures ==================
Spill Release Procedures:Avoid heat, flames, sparks and other sources
of ignition. Do not touch spilled material. Stop leak if possible
without personal risk. Do not get water directly on material. Small
spills: Collect material into suitable, loosely covered container
for disposal. Keep unnecessary people away, isolate hazard area and
deny entry. Stay upwind and keep out of low areas. Notify Local
Emergency Planning Committee and State Emergency Response
Commission for release greater than or equal to RQ (U.S. SARA
Section 304). If release occurs in the U.S. and is reportable under
CERCLA Section 103, notify the National Response Center at
(800)424-8802 (USA) or (202)426-2675 (USA).
Neutralizing Agent:
====================== Handling and Storage ======================
Handling and Storage Precautions:Store and handle in accordance with
all current regulations and standards. Store and handle in
accordance with all current regulations and standards. SARA Section
303 requires facilities storing a material with a TPQ to
participate in local emergency response planning (U.S. EPA 40 CFR
355.30). See original container for storage recommendations. Keep
separated from incompatible substances. Do not store or operate at
temperatures above 70 C (158 F).
Other Precautions:
============= Exposure Controls/Personal Protection =============
Respiratory Protection:The following respirators and maximum use
concentrations are drawn from NIOSH and/or OSHA. 250 ppm Any
chemical cartridge respirator with cartridge(s) providing
protection against this substance. Any supplied-air respirator. 300
ppm Any supplied-air respirator. Any powered, air-purifying
respirator with cartridge(s) providing protection against this
substance. Any chemical cartridge respirator with a full facepiece
and cartridge(s) providing protection against this substance. Any
air-purifying respirator with a full facepiece and a canister
providing protection against this substance. Any self-contained
breathing apparatus with a full facepiece. Any supplied-air
respirator with a full facepiece. Escape - Any air-purifying
respirator with a full facepiece and a canister providing
protection against this substance. Any appropriate escape-type,
self-contained breathing apparatus. For Unknown Concentrations or
Immediately Dangerous to Life or Health - Any supplied-air
respirator with full facepiece and operated in a pressure-demand or
other positive-pressure mode in combination with a separate escape
supply. Any self-contained breathing apparatus with a full
facepiece.
Ventilation:Not required during normal system use. In the event of
system rupture, media removal from the system, or exposure to the
media: Provide local exhaust ventilation system. Ensure compliance
with applicable exposure limits.
Protective Gloves:Not required during normal system use. In the event
of system rupture, media removal from the system, or exposure to
the media: Wear appropriate chemical resistant gloves.
Eye Protection:Not required during normal system use. In the event of
system rupture, media removal from the system, or exposure to the
media: Wear splash resistant safety goggles with a faceshield.
Provide an emergency eye wash fountain and quick drench shower in
the immediate work area.
Other Protective Equipment:Not required during normal system use. In
the event of system rupture, media removal from the system, or
exposure to the media: Wear appropriate chemical resistant
clothing.
