3. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
Eyes: Causes severe burns; small quantities can result in permanent damage and/or loss of vision.
Skin: Corrosive action causes burns and frequently deep ulceration with subsequent scarring. Prolonged contact destroys tissue. Mist
from solutions can cause irritant dermatitis.
Inhalation: Inhalation of mists can cause damage to the upper respiratory tract and to the lung tissue depending on extent of exposure.
Effects can range from mild irritation of mucous membranes, severe pneumonitis and destruction of lung tissues.
If Swallowed: Ingestion can cause very serous damage to the mouth, esophagus, stomach and other tissues with which contact is
made and may be fatal.
4. FIRST AID MEASURES
Eyes: Flush with plenty of cool water for at least 15 minutes while holding eyelids open Apply mild boric acid solution if available and
call a physician or poison control center immediately.
Skin: Wash with soap and water; apply mild boric acid solution if available. Call a physician or poison control center.
Inhalation: Remove to fresh air. Apply CPR if needed. Call a physician or poison control center immediately.
If Swallowed: DO NOT induce vomiting. If conscious, give large quantities of water. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious
person. Call a physician or poison control center immediately.
5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Flash Point (TCC): None Explosive Limits: Lower (LEL): ND Upper (UEL): ND
Flame Projection (Aerosol): N/A
Hazardous Products of Combustion: When strongly heated, as in a fire, this product may produce carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide
and oxides of phosphorous.
Fire and Explosion Hazards: Contact with some metals, particularly magnesium, aluminum and (galvanizing) zinc, can generate
flammable hydrogen gas.
Extinguishing Media: Water, Dry foam, Carbon dioxide.
Fire Fighting Instructions: Firefighters should wear full protective equipment and NIOSH approved self-contained breathing
apparatus.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Small Spills: Eliminate all sources of ignition. Clean up with a non-flammable sorbent such as clay or vermiculite and place in a
labeled, closed metal container for proper disposal.
-1-
Large Spills: Eliminate all sources of ignition. Dike spill and reclaim if possible. Flush with a large quantity of water and neutralize
with diluted acid solution. Dispose of properly neutralized (ph 6-9) salt solution in accordance with local, state and federal regulations.
