Potential Health Effects PPE鈥?
Acute Effects
Inhalation: PROLONGED EXPOSURE MAY CAUSE IRRITATION OF THE NOSE, THROAT AND
RESPIRATORY TRACT.
Eye: DUST MIGHT BE IRRITATING TO THE EYES.
Skin: PROLONGED CONTACT MAY CAUSE SKIN IRRITATION OR ALLERGIC REACTION.
Ingestion: CAN IRRITATE STOMACH AND CAUSE MOUTH BURNS.
Carcinogenicity: IARC, NTP, and OSHA DO NOT LIST THIS PRODUCT AS A CARCINOGEN.
Chronic Effects: PROLONGED EXPOSURE TO BULK POWDER MAY CAUSE IRRITATION TO THE
EYES, SKIN AND RESPIRATORY SYSTEM.
Section 4 - First Aid Measures
Inhalation: REMOVE TO FRESH AIR. GIVE OXYGEN IF BREATHING IS DIFFICULT.
Eye Contact: FLUSH THOROUGHLY WITH WATER FOR 15 MINUTES.
Skin Contact: WASH WITH SOAP AND WATER.
Ingestion: DRINK LOTS OF WATER. DO NOT INDUSE VOMITING. CALL A PHYSICIAN.
After first aid, get appropriate in-plant, paramedic, or community medical support.

Extinguishing Media: USE EXTINGUISHING MEDIA APPROPRIATE FOR SURROUNDING
AREA
Hazardous Combustion Products: MAY RELEASE FUMES OF PHOSPHORUS OXIDE IF INVOLVED IN FIRE.
Fire-Fighting Instructions: Do not release runoff from fire control methods to sewers or waterways.
Fire-Fighting Equipment: Because fire may produce toxic thermal decomposition products, wear a self-contained breathing
apparatus (SCBA) with a full facepiece operated in pressure-demand or positive-pressure mode.
Section 6 - Accidental Release Measures
Spill Response Notice: ONLY PERSONS PROPERLY QUALIFIED TO RESPOND TO AN EMERGENCY
INVOLVING HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES MAY RESPOND TO A SPILL ACCORDING
TO FEDERAL REGULATIONS ( OSHA 29 CFR 1910.120(a)(v)) AND PER YOUR
COMPANY鈥橲 EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLAN AND GUIDELINES/PROCEDURES.
SEE SECTION 13, SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR DISPOSAL ASSISTANCE.
Spill /Leak Procedures: CAREFULLY SWEEP UP AND DISCARD. CLEAN SPILL AREA WITH COLD WATER.
IF PREPARED BUFFER SOLUTION IS SPILLED NEUTRALIZE AND MOP AREA.
Small Spills: WIPE AND CLEAN AREA
Containment: For large spills, dike far ahead of liquid spill for later disposal. Do not release into sewers or waterways.
Cleanup Technique: SCOOP UP SPILLED MATERIAL INTO A LARGE BEAKER AND DISSOLVE WITH
WATER. ADJUST TO A pH BETWEEN 6 AND 9 WITH AN ALKALI, SUCH AS
SODA ASH OR SODIUM BICARBONATE. FLUSH REACTED MATERIAL TO THE
DRAIN WITH A LARGE EXCESS OF WATER. DECONTAMINATE THE AREA OF THE
SPILL WITH A SOAP SOLUTION.
DISPOSE OF ALL WASTES IN ACCORDANCE WITH FEDERAL, STATE AND LOCAL REGULATION.
Regulatory Requirements: Follow applicable OSHA regulations (29 CFR 1910.120).
Section 7 - Handling and Storage
Storage Requirements: STORE AT CONTROLLED ROOM TEMP. IN DRY LOCATION. AVOID HIGH
TEMPERATURES AND HIGH HUMIDITIES. KEEP CONTAINER CLOSE WHEN
NOT IN USE.
Handling Precautions: *** PERTAINS ONLY TO BULK POWDER HANDLING***
VENTILATION: USE ADEQUATE GENERAL OR LOCAL VENTILATION TO KEEP FUME AND DUST LEVELS
AS LOW AS POSSIBLE.
RESPIRATION PROTACTION: USE NIOSH APPROVED DUST RESPIRATOR WHEN HANDLING BULK POWDER.
EYE PROTACTION : CHEMICAL SPLASH GOGGLES WITH SIDE SHIELDS WHEN HANDLING BULK POWDER.
GLOVES: NATURAL RUBBER, BUTYL NEOPRENE OR EQUIVALENT . WEAR FULL COVER CLOTHING WHEN
HANDLING BULK POWDER.
DO NOT BREATH DUST. DO NOT GET INTO EYES. AVOID PROLONGED OR REPEATED SKIN CONTACT.
WASH WITH COLD WATER AFTER CONTACT. DO NOT TAKE INTERNALLY.
Section 8 - Exposure Controls / Personal Protection
Engineering Controls:
Ventilation: Provide general or local exhaust ventilation systems to maintain airborne concentrations below OSHA PELs
(Sec. 2). Local exhaust ventilation is preferred because it prevents contaminant dispersion into the work area by controlling it at
its source.
Administrative Controls:

HYDRION BUFFER pH - 4.00
Respiratory Protection: Seek professional advice prior to respirator selection and use. Follow OSHA respirator regulations
(29 CFR 1910.134) and, if necessary, wear a MSHA/NIOSH-approved respirator. Select respirator based on its suitability to
provide adequate worker protection for given working conditions, level of airborne contamination, and presence of sufficient
oxygen. For emergency or nonroutine operations (cleaning spills, reactor vessels, or storage tanks), wear an SCBA.
Warning! Air-purifying respirators do not protect workers in oxygen-deficient atmospheres. If respirators are used, OSHA
requires a written respiratory protection program that includes at least: medical certification, training, fit-testing, periodic
environmental monitoring, maintenance, inspection, cleaning, and convenient, sanitary storage areas.
Protective Clothing/Equipment: Wear chemically protective gloves, boots, aprons, and gauntlets to prevent prolonged or
repeated skin contact. Wear protective eyeglasses or chemical safety goggles, per OSHA eye- and face-protection regulations
(29 CFR 1910.133). Contact lenses are not eye protective devices. Appropriate eye protection must be worn instead of, or in
conjunction with contact lenses.
Safety Stations: Make emergency eyewash stations, safety/quick-drench showers, and washing facilities available in work area.
Contaminated Equipment: Separate contaminated work clothes from street clothes. Launder before reuse. Remove this
material from your shoes and clean personal protective equipment.
Comments: Never eat, drink, or smoke in work areas. Practice good personal hygiene after using this material, especially before
eating, drinking, smoking, using the toilet, or applying cosmetics.
