Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards:
Special Fire Fighting Procedures:
Use proper respiratory protection against fumes such as self contained breathing apparatus. Avoid inhalation of poisonous gases.
SECTION 5 鈥? HEALTH INFORMATION
Primary Routes of Exposure: Inhalation, contact with eyes or skin
Signs and Symptoms of Exposure:
(1) Acute Overexposure:
Irritation of eyes, noes and throat. Splashes in the eyes or on the skin will cause severe burns. Inhalation of acid vapor may be injurious to the lungs.
(2) Chronic Overexposure:
Repeated or prolonged exposure to dilute solutions of acid may cause irritation of the skin. Repeated or prolonged exposure to mists or vapors of acid
may cause erosion of teeth, chronic irritation of the eyes, or chronic inflammation of the nose, throat and bronchial tubes.
Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure:
Impaired pulmonary function, pre-existing eye problems, pre-existing skin disorders may be aggravated by exposure.
Chemical/Component Listed as Carcinogen or Potential Carcinogen NTP IARC OSHA
None No No No
Other Exposure Limits:
Emergency & First Aid Procedures:
In case of contact, immediately flush eyes or skin with copious amounts of water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and
shoes. Call a physician. If swallowed, do not give emetics; if conscious, give large amounts of water immediately to dilute the acid. Call a physician.
SECTION 6 鈥? REACTIVITY DATA
Stability: Unstable _____ Stable X
Conditions to Avoid: Avoid adding water to the acids, a large amount of heat may be produced.
Incompatibility (Material to Avoid):
Acid contact with most metals may cause severe corrosion and form flammable hydrogen gas. Contact of acid gas or liquid with any alkali or active
metal may develop enough heat to cause fire in adjacent combustible material.
Hazardous Decomposition Products: Toxic gases and vapors (such as phosphoric acid or HCI) may be released when acid decomposes.
Hazardous Polymerization: Will not occur Conditions to Avoid: Not applicable for polymerization
SECTION 7 鈥? SPILL OR LEAK PROCEDURES
Steps to be taken in case material leaks or spills:
Wear protective equipment; ventilate area; cover the contaminated surface with sodium bicarbonate, soda ash or slake lime. Mix and add water if
necessary to form slurry. Scoop up slurry. Alternatively use J. T. Baker鈥檚 Acid Spill Cleanup Kit (Product No. 4442).
Waste Disposal Method:
Dispose of wastes in accordance with Federal, State and local codes. Normal disposal methods for small quantities includes discharge diluted and
neutralized material to sewer if local regulations permit.
SECTION 8 鈥? PERSONAL PROTECTIVE INFORMATION
Respiratory Protection:
Respiratory protection is not required under normal and intended uses. Self contained breathing apparatus required during fire fighting and spill clean
up or a NIOSSH approved Acid Gas Respirator for minor spill clean up.
Ventilation:
Room ventilation is expected to be adequate except during spills or fires.
Protective Gloves: Required when contact with acid exists. Eye Protection: Required when possibility of contact with acid exists.
Other Protective Clothing or Equipment:
An eye wash fountain and safety shower should be readily available where the potential for contact with acid exists.
SECTION 9 鈥? SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS
Precautions to be taken in handling & storing:
Store and handle according to packaging instructions. Store in cool, well ventilated area. Keep away from reactive materials.
Other Precautions:
Do not get in eyes, on skin, or on clothing. Avoid breathing vapors. Wash thoroughly after handling. Be prepared to neutralize and absorb spilled
acid.
