3 HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
Emergency Overview
White powder with a characteristic odor
DANGER!
CAUSES EYE BURNS.
MAY CAUSE BLINDNESS.
CAUSES RESPIRATORY TRACT IRRITATION.
Potential Health Effects
Inhalation and skin contact are expected to be the primary routes of occupational exposure to this material. Based on
single exposure animal test, it is anticipated to be practically non-toxic if swallowed, practically non-irritating to skin and
corrosive to eyes. A number of organotin compounds have been shown to be moderate to severe upper respiratory
tract irritants.

4 FIRST AID MEASURES
IF IN EYES, immediately flush with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Get medical attention.
IN CASE OF CONTACT, immediately flush with plenty of water. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes.
Get medical attention. Wash clothing before reuse. Destroy contaminated shoes.
IF INHALED, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give
oxygen. Get medical attention immediately.
IF SWALLOWED, do NOT induce vomiting. Give water to drink. Get medical attention immediately. NEVER
GIVE ANYTHING BY MOUTH TO AN UNCONSCIOUS PERSON.

Flammable Limits- Upper NE
NE
Lower
Extinguishing Media
Use water spray, carbon dioxide, foam or dry chemical.
Fire Fighting Instructions
Contain run-off from fire. Fire fighters and others who may be exposed to products of combustion should wear
full fire fighting turn out gear (full Bunker Gear) and self-contained breathing apparatus (pressure demand
NIOSH approved or equivalent). Fire fighting equipment should be thoroughly decontaminated after use.
Fire and Explosion Hazards
When burned, the following hazardous products of combustion can occur:
Carbon monoxide
Carbon dioxide
Tin oxides
Hydrogen chloride
Avoid breathing fumes from fire exposed material.
Avoid needless exposures to gas, fume or vapor. If practical, remain upwind when approaching a fire outdoors,
even when wearing a respirator.
6 ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
In Case of Spill or Leak
Stop the leak, if possible. Ventilate the space involved. Absorb, sweep up, place in container for disposal.
Reduce dust spreading with a water spray. Shut off or remove all ignition sources. Prevent waterway
contamination. Construct a dike to prevent spreading. Protect workers with water spray. Collect run-off
water and transfer to drums or tanks for later disposal. Avoid creating a dusty atmosphere. Consult a
regulatory specialist to determine appropriate state or local reporting requirements, for assistance in waste
characterization and/or hazardous waste disposal and other requirements listed in pertinent environmental
permits.

6 ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Clean up procedures: Transfer to containers, preparatory for later disposal. Avoid generation of dusts. Place
in non-sparking containers for recovery or disposal. Remove from spill location. Flush area with water spray,
collect rinsate.
7 HANDLING AND STORAGE
Handling
Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing. Do not taste or swallow.
Wash thoroughly after handling.
Avoid breathing dust.
Keep container closed.
Emptied container retains vapor and product residue. Observe all labeled safeguards until container is
cleaned, reconditioned or destroyed.
Storage
This material is not hazardous under normal storage conditions; however, material should be stored in
closed containers, in a secure area to prevent container damage and subsequent spillage.
8 EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
Engineering Controls
Investigate engineering techniques to reduce exposures below airborne exposure limits. Provide ventilation
if necessary to control exposure levels below airborne exposure limits (see below). If practical, use local
mechanical exhaust ventilation at sources of air contamination such as open process equipment.
Eye / Face Protection
Where there is potential for eye contact, wear chemical goggles and have eye flushing equipment
immediately available.
Skin Protection
Wear appropriate chemical resistant protective clothing and chemical resistant gloves to prevent skin
contact.
Respiratory Protection
Avoid breathing dust. When airborne exposure limits are exceeded (see below), use NIOSH approved
respiratory protection equipment appropriate to the material and/or its components. Full facepiece
equipment is recommended and, if used, replaces need for face shield and chemical goggles. Consult
OSHA Standard (29 CFR 搂 1910.10 to determine required type equipment for given application. Observe
respirator use limitations specified by NIOSH or the manufacturer. For emergency and other conditions
where exposure limit may be significantly exceeded, use an approved full face positive-pressure, self-
contained breathing apparatus or positive-pressure airline with auxiliary self-contained air supply.
Respiratory protection programs must comply with 29 CFR 搂 1910.134.
