POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS, SKIN
CORROSIVE. Contact may cause reddening, itching, inflammation, burns, blistering and possibly severe tissue
damage.
POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS, EYE
CORROSIVE. Exposure may cause severe burns, destruction of eye tissue and possible permanent injury or
blindness.
POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS, INHALATION
SEVERELY IRRITATING. Symptoms may include sore throat, coughing, labored breathing, sneezing and
burning sensation, depending on the concentration and duration of exposure.
Overexposure to this material may cause systemic damage including target organ effects listed under
"Toxicological Information" (Section 11).
Other specific symptoms of exposure are listed under "Toxicological Information" (Section 11).
POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS, INGESTION
CORROSIVE. May cause painful irritation and burning of the mouth and throat, painful swallowing, labored
breathing, burns or perforation of the gastrointestinal tract leading to ulceration and secondary infection.
Symptoms may include salivation, pain, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea.
Aspiration into lungs may cause chemical pneumonia and lung damage.
Overexposure to this material may cause systemic damage including target organ effects listed under
"Toxicological Information" (Section 11).
Other specific symptoms of exposure are listed under "Toxicological Information" (Section 11).
4 FIRST AID MEASURES
SKIN
Immediately flush skin with plenty of water, for at least 15 minutes, while removing contaminated clothing and
shoes. GET IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION.
Place contaminated clothing in closed container for storage until laundered or discarded. If clothing is to be
laundered, inform person performing operation of contaminant's hazardous properties. Discard contaminated
leather goods.
EYE
Flush immediately with large amounts of water for at least 15 minutes. Eyelids should be held away from the
eyeball to ensure thorough rinsing. GET IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION.

Material Id 25 Trade Name KOCHTREAT庐 275
INHALATION
Remove to fresh air. If not breathing, institute rescue breathing. If breathing is difficult, ensure airway is clear
and give oxygen.
Keep affected person warm and at rest. GET IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION.
INGESTION
Keep affected person warm and at rest. GET IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION.
Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Do not induce vomiting because of danger of
aspirating liquid into lungs, causing serious damage and chemical pneumonitis.
Have victim rinse mouth thoroughly with water, then drink 8 to 10 oz. of water to dilute material in stomach. If
milk is available, it may be administered AFTER the water has been given. If vomiting occurs naturally, have
the victim lean forward to reduce risk of aspiration. Repeat administration of water. Quickly transport to
emergency care facility.
NOTES TO PHYSICIAN
This product is primarily an irritant and corrosive. As a corrosive, give attention to potential complication of
esophagus or stomach perforations if ingested. Use of emetics and lavage are contraindicated. Necrosis and
associated inflammatory processes peak at about 48 hours, but may extend up to four days. Initial healing
processes occur during the period 4 to 14 days, but the esophageal wall is weakest during this period.
If spontaneous vomiting has occurred after ingestion, the patient should be monitored for difficult breathing, as
adverse effects of aspiration into the lungs may be delayed up to 48 hours.
5 FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
HAZARDOUS COMBUSTION PRODUCTS
Combustion may produce COx, POx.
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA
Material itself will not burn.
BASIC FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES
Evacuate area and fight fire from a safe distance.
Use extinguishing agent suitable for type of surrounding fire. Use water spray to cool adjacent structures and to
protect personnel. Shut off source of flow if possible.
Firefighters must wear MSHA/NIOSH approved positive pressure breathing apparatus (SCBA) with full face
mask and full protective equipment.
UNUSUAL FIRE & EXPLOSION HAZARDS
Reacts with most metals to produce hydrogen gas which can form an explosive mixture with air.

6 ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
EMERGENCY ACTION
Keep unnecessary people away. Isolate spill area and keep unnecessary people away.
ENVIRONMENTAL PRECAUTIONS
If product is released to the environment, take immediate steps to stop and contain release. Caution should be
exercised regarding personnel safety and exposure to the released product. Notify local, provincial and/or
federal authorities, if required.

SPILL OR LEAK PROCEDURE
Large spills may be neutralized with dilute alkaline solutions of soda ash or lime. Stop leak when safe to do so.
Do not touch or walk through spilled material.
See Exposure Controls/Personal Protection (Section 8).
7 HANDLING & STORAGE
HANDLING
This material should be stored and shipped in plastic or plastic lined containers. Do not use with materials or
equipment sensitive to acidic solutions.
Do not eat, drink or smoke in areas of use or storage.
STORAGE
Avoid contact with strong oxidizers, bases, and metals. Store in tightly closed containers in cool, dry area
away from heat and incompatibles.
Empty containers may contain product residue. Do not reuse without adequate precautions.
8 EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
ENGINEERING CONTROLS
General or local exhaust ventilation and other forms of engineering controls are the preferred means for
controlling exposures.
EYE PROTECTION: PERSONAL PROTECTION EQUIPMENT (PPE)
Wear chemical safety goggles and face shield. Have eye washing facilities readily available where eye contact
can occur.
SKIN PROTECTION: PERSONAL PROTECTION EQUIPMENT (PPE)
Avoid skin contact with this material. If skin contact is anticipated, protective clothing, including impervious
gloves, should be worn.
Additional protection may be necessary to prevent skin contact including use of apron, armcovers, face shield,
or boots. Provide safety showers at any location where skin contact can occur.
Use good personal hygiene.
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: PERSONAL PROTECTION EQUIPMENT (PPE)
A NIOSH/MSHA approved air purifying respirator with an acid vapor cartridge or canister may be appropriate
under certain circumstances where airborne concentrations are expected to exceed exposure limits. Protection
provided by air purifying respirators is limited. Use a positive pressure air supplied respirator if there is any
potential for an uncontrolled release, exposure levels are not known, or any other circumstances where air
purifying respirators may not provide adequate protection.
