SECTION 3: HEALTH HAZARD IDENTIFICATION DATA:
MOST IMPORTANT HAZAR DS: Corrosive. Can cause burns, even permanent damage to eyes, respiratory
system and skin. Harmful if swallowed. May cause pain, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. Danger: Oxidizer. Avoid
contact with combustible materials, reducing agents and strong acids.
ROUTES OF ENTRY: Eyes; Yes Skin; Yes Inhalation; Yes Ingestion; Yes
POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS:
EYE CONTACT: Causes severe burns or even permanent damage. Severity depends upon concentration and
duration of exposure.
SKIN CONTACT: Causes skin burns. Prolonged contact may cause dermatitis.
INHALATION: Exposure to mists generated from this material causes irritation, or even burns to the respiratory
tract. May result in coughing, difficulty breathing and sore throat. Exposure to high concentrations may result in
bronchospasms.
INGESTION: Harmful if swallowed. May cause pain, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, weakness and fatigue.
CARCINOGENICITY: NTP; No IARC; No OSHA; No ACGIH: No
CONDITIONS AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE: None known.
SECTION 4: EMERGENCY & FIRST AID PROCEDURES:
EYE CONTACT: Immediately flush eyes with a directed stream of water for at least 15 minutes,
forcibly holding eyelids apart to ensure complete irrigation of all eye and lid tissues. Washing eyes
within several seconds of exposure is essential to achieve maximum effectiveness. Get immediate
medical attention.
PRODUCT NAME: Chlordet
PRODUCT CODE: CHLDT
SECTION 4: EMERGENCY & FIRST AID PROCEDURES (Continued):
SKIN CONTACT: Immediately flush contaminated area with water. Remove contaminated clothing and
footwear. Wash contaminated areas with plenty of soap and water. Wash contaminated clothing before
re-use. Discard footwear that cannot be decontaminated. Get immediate medical attention
INHALATION: Remove to fresh air if safe to transport. Otherwise attempt to provide fresh are by
ventilation. If breathing is difficult, have a trained person administer oxygen. If not breathing, first call
911, then give artificial respiration.
INGESTION: DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. Give large quantities of water (If available, give several
glasses of milk to dilute). If vomiting occurs spontaneously, keep airway clear and give more water.
Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get immediate medical attention.
NOTES TO PHYSICIAN: No specialized procedures. Treat for clinical symptoms.
SECTION 5: FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES:
FLASH POINT: Not Applicable AUTO IGNITION: Not Applicable LEL / UEL: Not Applicable
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Use agents appropriate for surrounding fire. May react with water with the
generation of heat.
FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES: Wear NIOSH/MSHA positive-pressure, self contained breathing
apparatus and full protective clothing.
FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD: None known.
SECTION 6: ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES:
PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS: Follow protective measures provided under Personal Protection in
Section 8.
Evacuate unnecessary personnel and eliminate all sources of ignition. Contain Spill.
ENVIRONMENTAL PRECAUTIONS: Do not allow entry into sewers and waterways.
METHODS FOR CLEANING UP: For small spills, soak up with absorbent material and place in
properly labeled containers for disposal.
For large spills, dike and pump into properly labeled containers for reclamation or disposal, according to
local, state, and federal regulations.
WASTE DISPOSAL METHODS: Dispose of in a landfill or flush to a sanitary sewer in accordance with
local, state and federal regulations.
SECTION 7: HANDLING AND STORAGE:
HANDLING: Use with adequate ventilation. Avoid breathing vapors. Wear personal protection
equipment as described in Exposure Controls/Personal Protection (Section 8 ) of the MSDS. Never
move drums with open bungs.
SPECIAL MIXING AND HANDLING INSTUCTIONS: Do not allow contact with materials as noted in
Section 10.
STORAGE: Keep container tightly closed and properly labeled. Do not store in aluminum containers or
use aluminum fittings or transfer lines, as flammable hydrogen gas can be generated.
SECTION 8: EXPOSURE CONTROL / PERSONAL PROTECTION INFORMATION:
ENGINEERING CONTROLS: Handle product in a well ventilated area. If product is handled in an open
system, the use of process closures, local exhaust, ventilation, and/or other engineering controls should
be considered to control airborne levels to below recommended exposure limits, or below acceptable
levels where there are no limits.
PERSONAL PROTECTION:
RESPIRATORY: A NIOSH approved respirator with a dust, fume and mist filter may be permissible
under certain circumstances where airborne concentrations are expected to exceed exposure limits, or
when symptoms have been observed that are indicative of overexposure.
A respiratory protection program that meets 29CFR 1910.134 and ANSI Z88.2 requirements must be
followed whenever workplace conditions warrant use of a respirator.
PRODUCT NAME: Chlordet
