Section 3. Hazards Identification
Potential Acute Health Effects Extremely hazardous in case of skin contact (irritant), of eye contact (irritant), of ingestion, of inhalation. Very
hazardous in case of skin contact (corrosive, permeator). Liquid or spray mist may produce tissue damage
particularly on mucous membranes of eyes, mouth and respiratory tract. Skin contact may produce burns.
Inhalation of the spray mist may produce severe irritation of respiratory tract, characterized by coughing, choking,
or shortness of breath. Severe over-exposure can result in death. Inflammation of the eye is characterized by
redness, watering, and itching. Skin inflammation is characterized by itching, scaling, reddening, or, occasionally,
blistering.

Extremely hazardous in case of inhalation.
Potential Chronic Health
Very hazardous in case of skin contact (irritant), of eye contact (irritant).
Effects
Hazardous in case of ingestion.
Slightly hazardous in case of skin contact (corrosive, permeator).
CARCINOGENIC EFFECTS: Not available.
MUTAGENIC EFFECTS: Not available.
TERATOGENIC EFFECTS: Not available.
DEVELOPMENTAL TOXICITY: Not available.
The substance is toxic to kidneys, lungs, the nervous system, mucous membranes, digestive system, upper
respiratory tract.
Repeated or prolonged exposure to the substance can produce target organs damage. Repeated or prolonged
contact with spray mist may produce chronic eye irritation and severe skin irritation. Repeated or prolonged
exposure to spray mist may produce respiratory tract irritation leading to frequent attacks of bronchial infection.
Repeated exposure to an highly toxic material may produce general deterioration of health by an accumulation in
one or many human organs. Repeated or prolonged inhalation of vapors may lead to chronic respiratory irritation.
Section 4. First Aid Measures
Eye Contact Check for and remove any contact lenses. Do not use an eye ointment. Seek medical attention.
Skin Contact If the chemical got onto the clothed portion of the body, remove the contaminated clothes as quickly as possible,
protecting your own hands and body. Place the victim under a deluge shower. If the chemical got on the victim's
exposed skin, such as the hands : Gently and thoroughly wash the contaminated skin with running water and
non-abrasive soap. Be particularly careful to clean folds, crevices, creases and groin. If irritation persists, seek
medical attention. Wash contaminated clothing before reusing.
Serious Skin Contact Wash with a disinfectant soap and cover the contaminated skin with an anti-bacterial cream. Seek immediate
medical attention.
Inhalation Allow the victim to rest in a well ventilated area. Seek immediate medical attention.
Serious Inhalation Evacuate the victim to a safe area as soon as possible. Loosen tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt or
waistband. If breathing is difficult, administer oxygen. If the victim is not breathing, perform mouth-to-mouth
resuscitation. WARNING: It may be hazardous to the person providing aid to give mouth-to-mouth resuscitation
when the inhaled material is toxic, infectious or corrosive. Seek immediate medical attention.
Ingestion Do not induce vomiting. Examine the lips and mouth to ascertain whether the tissues are damaged, a possible
indication that the toxic material was ingested; the absence of such signs, however, is not conclusive. Loosen
tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt or waistband. If the victim is not breathing, perform mouth-to-mouth
resuscitation. Seek immediate medical attention.
Serious Ingestion Not available.

Hazards
Section 6. Accidental Release Measures
Small Spill Absorb with an inert material and put the spilled material in an appropriate waste disposal.
Large Spill Corrosive liquid.
Stop leak if without risk. Absorb with DRY earth, sand or other non-combustible material. Do not get water inside
container. Do not touch spilled material. Use water spray curtain to divert vapor drift. Prevent entry into sewers,
basements or confined areas; dike if needed. Call for assistance on disposal. Be careful that the product is not
present at a concentration level above TLV. Check TLV on the MSDS and with local authorities.
Section 7. Handling and Storage
Keep locked up Keep container dry. Keep away from heat. Keep away from sources of ignition. Keep away from
Precautions
direct sunlight or strong incandescent light. Do not ingest. Do not breathe gas/fumes/ vapour/spray. Never add
water to this product Avoid shock and friction. In case of insufficient ventilation, wear suitable respiratory
equipment If ingested, seek medical advice immediately and show the container or the label. Avoid contact with
skin and eyes Keep away from incompatibles such as reducing agents, combustible materials, organic materials,
metals, acids, alkalis, moisture.
May corrode metallic surfaces. Store in a metallic or coated fiberboard drum using a strong polyethylene inner
Storage
package. Corrosive materials should be stored in a separate safety storage cabinet or room.
Section 8. Exposure Controls/Personal Protection
Engineering Controls Provide exhaust ventilation or other engineering controls to keep the airborne concentrations of vapors below their
respective threshold limit value. Ensure that eyewash stations and safety showers are proximal to the
work-station location.
Personal Protection Splash goggles. Lab coat. Vapor respirator. Be sure to use an approved/certified respirator or equivalent.
Gloves.
Personal Protection in Case of Splash goggles. Full suit. Vapor respirator. Boots. Gloves. A self contained breathing apparatus should be
a Large Spill used to avoid inhalation of the product. Suggested protective clothing might not be sufficient; consult a specialist
BEFORE handling this product.
