Extinguishing Media: As suitable for surrounding fire. Water spray to cool container area. Do NOT get solid streams of
water directly in containers--violent reaction can occur.
Special Firefighting Procedures:
Product is non-flammable,but corrosive HCl vapors may be present. Fire fighters exposed to these vapors should wear
NIOSH/OSHA lapproved SCBA and full protective acid-resistant clothing. Thoroughly decontaminate equipment after
exposure. Neutralize any spillages with soda ash, slaked lime or other alkaline substances to avoid formation of
potentially explosive hydrogen gas. Cool containers with water to prevent overheating and bursting.
Unusual Fire And Explosion Hazards:
Product is non-flammable, but will react with a variety of types of metals to form flammable/explosive hydrogen gas.

Stability: Conditions To Avoid:
Stable Do NOT store near heat or near strongly alkaline chemicals.
Incompatability Corrosive to metals with evolution of hydrogen gas. May react with strong oxidizers, cyanides,
(Materials To Avoid):
sulfides or formaldehyde to form toxic gases.
Hazardous Decomposition: Hydrogen chloride gas, hydrogen gas and chlorine gas.
Hazardous Polymerization: Will Not Occur
Section 6 - Health Hazard Data
Routes of Entr Inhalation Skin Ingestion
Yes Yes Yes
Health Hazard
CORROSIVE TO ALL BODY TISSUES. EYES: Mist or solution rapidly causes sever irritation of the eyes and
eyelids if not removed by prompt and thorough irrigation with water. Liquid can cause irritation, corneal burns, and
conjunctivitis leading to severe or permanent injury and/or loss of sight. SKIN: Contact with liquid causes severe
burns unless immediately and thoroughly washed off. Exposure to concentrated mist may cause burns or
dermatitis. INGESTION: If swallowed, will cause serious burns to mucous membranes of the mouth, throat, and
stomach, or perforation of the esophagus and/or stomach. Ingestion can be fatal. INHALATION: Mist causes irritation
or corrosive burns to respiratory system, including nose, mouth, throat and esophagus, with immediate pain and
difficulty in swallowing. Lung irritation as well as laryngeal, tracheobronchial, and pulmonary edema can also occur.
Inhalation may be fatal.
Carcinogenicit NTP IARC OSHA Regulated
NO NO NO
Signs And Symptoms of Exposure:
See "Health Hazards" above. Repeated or prolonged exposure to low concentrations have been reported to cause;
erosion of teeth, irritation and lesion of skin, tracheobronchitis, mouth inflammation, conjunctivitis, and frequent
respiratory infections, emphysema, and digestive disorders.
Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated By Exposure:
Chronic respiratory diseases or conditions including asthma, bronchitis, emphysema, nervous system diseases, eye
and skin disorders and conditions.
Emergency And First Aid Procedures:
EYES: Flush with plenty of gently running water for at least 15 minutes. Forcibly hold eyelids apart to ensure flushing
of all eye and eyelid tissue Washing eyes within 1 minute is essential to achieve maximum effectiveness. Get
immediate medical attention, but do not transport unless flushing is completed or can be continued in transit. SKIN:
Flush contaminated areas thoroughly with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Remove contaminated clothing. If
large areas of the body are contaminated or clothing is penetrated, immediately use safety shower. Remove
contaminated clothing and footwear. After washing skin cover affected area with moist milk of magnesia or baking
soda. GET IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION, but complete flushing prior to transport. Wash and decontaminate
clothing/footwear. INHALATION: Remove to fresh air. CALL EMERGENCY MEDICAL CARE. IF breathing has stopped,
use artificial respiration, preferably mouth-to-mouth. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. INGESTION: Do NOT induce
vomiting. Give large amounts of water or milk and immediately call EMERGENCY MEDICAL CARE. Do not give
carbonates. If vomiting occurs, keep airways clear. NEVER GIVE ANYTHING BY MOUTH TO AN UNCONSCIOUS
PERSON. NOTE TO PHYSICIANS: This material is extremely corrosive to all body tissues. IF swallowed, gastric
lavage should be used only with extreme caution.

Section 7 - Precautions For Safe Handling And Use:
Steps To Be Taken In Case Material Is Released Or Spilled:
SMALL SPILLS: Do not allow any contact with acid, mist, or vapors. Dilute spill with copious amounts of water, If
practical and safe flush to sewer. Neutralize remaining mat'l with baking soda. If flushing to sewer is not safe, contain
diluted spill with any inert absorbent then neutralize with baking soda (sodium bicarbonate). FOR LARGER SPILLS:
Use NIOSH/OSHA respirator and full protective clothing. No skin surface should be exposed. Notify fire/health
authorities. Neutralize with lime or soda ash. If applicable due to runoff, notify pollution authorities.
Waste Disposal Method:
Materials resulting from cleanup may be hazardous. Package, store, transport and dispose of in accordance with
appropriate Federal, State and Local regulations. Be sure that all responsible agencies are informed of disposal.
Precautions To Be Taken In Handling And Storing:
Handle with extreme care. Store containers upright during transportation, storage and handling. Have applicable first aid
equipment and running water available. NEVER add cold water to product in container. Do not use or mix with any
other chemical -- a violent eruption of hot corrosive acid can occur. Store in upright position at floor level only
Other Precautions:
Face shield and full protective clothing.
