Emergency Overview
Appearance: Clear yellow-green liquid.
Caution! Corrosive. Causes severe eye and skin burns. Causes severe digestive and
respiratory tract burns.
Target Organs: None.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Vapors are irritating to the eye, liquid contact may result in clouding of the cornea, erosion, up to
total corneal opacification and loss of the eye.
Skin:
May cause severe burns and ulceration. Skin may turn brown-yellow. Deep burns are slow to heal
and scarring may occur.

Ingestion:
Causes severe digestive tract burns with abdominal pain, vomiting, and possible death. May cause
corrosion and permanent tissue destruction of the esophagus and digestive tract.
Inhalation:
May cause irritation of the respiratory tract with burning pain in the nose and throat, coughing,
wheezing, shortness of breath and pulmonary edema. May cause severe irritation of the respiratory
tract with sore throat, coughing, shortness of breath and delayed lung edema. Palpitation,
inflammation, edema of the larynx and bronchi, chemical pneumonitis and pulmonary edema may
result from inhalation exposure.
Chronic:
Chronic exposure may result in dental erosion, jaw necrosis, respiratory disease, dermatitis,
conjunctivitis, corneal scarring and fever.
Section 4 - First Aid Measures
Eyes:
Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, occasionally lifting the upper
and lower lids until chemical is gone. Get medical aid at once. SPEEDY ACTION IS CRITICAL!
Skin:
Get medical aid at once. Immediately flush skin with plenty of soap and water for at least 15
minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. SPEEDY ACTION IS CRITICAL!
Ingestion:
Do NOT induce vomiting. Give conscious victim 2-4 cupfuls of milk or water. Never give anything
by mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical aid at once.
Inhalation:
Get medical aid at once. Move victim to fresh air immediately. Give artificial respiration if
necessary. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen.
Notes to Physician:
Treat symptomatically and supportively.
Section 5 - Fire Fighting Measures
General Information:
As in any fire, wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH
(approved or equivalent), and full protective gear.
Extinguishing Media:
For small fires, use dry chemical, carbon dioxide, water spray or alcohol-resistant foam. For large
fires, use water spray, fog, or alcohol-resistant foam.
Autoignition Temperature:
Not applicable.
