SECTION 7 鈥? PREVENTIVE MEASURES
Personal protective equipment:
PVC GLOVES DUST MASK SAFETY GOGGLES or FACE MASK
Gloves (specify) Respirator (specify) Eyes (specify)
ALKALI RESISTANT BOOTS RUBBER APRON CLEAN COVERALLS
Footwear (specify) Clothing (specify) Other (specify)
Engineering controls: Local exhaust ventilation is recommended for dust or steam from processing tanks. Provide
eye wash and hose or shower facilities.
Leak and spill procedure: Neutralize small amounts with dilute hydrochloric acid and flush into sewer. Shovel large
amounts into steel or plastic containers and dispose as special waste in consultation with local waste disposal
authorities. Wash the contaminated area with dilute hydrochloric acid and flush into sewer.
Waste disposal: Disposal must be in accordance with local and national legislation. Dispose through an
authorized waste contractor to a licensed site.
Handling procedures end equipment: Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Avoid inhalation or ingestion. Use in a
manner least likely to create dust. When making additions to working solutions, allow the solution to cool first.
Otherwise there is a high risk of splashback. Dust mask should be used for occasional exposure but must be
changed frequently to avoid concentration of caustic particles on the face.
Storage requirements: Store in clean, dry conditions. Keep separate from foodstuffs. Keep container closed and
ensure label intact and legible. Cover when not in use. Do not allow to come in contact with Aluminum, Zinc,
Magnesium or their alloys.

SECTION 8 鈥? FIRST AID MEASURES SECTION 8 - FIRST AID MEASURES
Specific measures:
INHALATION: Remove from the contaminated atmosphere to fresh air. In case of doubt or severe exposure, seek
medical attention.
INGESTION: Gargle, rinse mouth and drink large amounts of water. Do not induce vomiting. Seek medical aid.
SKIN: Remove contaminated clothing taking care not to transfer material to unaffected areas. Wash well with
Copious amounts of water. If burn persists, seek medical aid.
