Emergency & First Aid Procedures: In case of contact immediately flush eyes or skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while removing
contaminated clothing & shoes. Call a Physician. If swallowed do not give emetics; if conscious give tap water, milk or Milk-of-Magnesia, 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): Contact of acid with organic material (such as chlorate, carbides, fulminates & picrates) may cause fires &
explosions. Contact of acid with metals may form toxic sulfur dioxide fumes & flammable hydrogen gas.
Hazardous Decomposition Products: Heat, Sulfur Dioxide & Hydrogen.
Hazardous Polymerization: Will not occur. Conditions to Avoid: Not applicable for polymerization.
SECTION 7 鈥? SPILL OR LEAK PROCEDURES
Steps t o be taken in case material leaks or spills:
Wear protective equipment, ventilate area, cover the contaminated surface with Sodium Bicarbonate or soda ash-slake lime mixture (50/50). Mix &
add water if necessary to form a slurry. Scoop up the slurry. Alternatively use J.T. Bakers Neutrasorb (product No. 4456).
Disposal Method: Dispose of wastes in accordance with Federal, State & local codes. Normal disposal includes neutralization & absorption in
vermiculite, dry sand, earth or similar material.
SECTION 8 鈥? PERSONAL PROTECTIVE INFORMATION
Respiratory Protection: Respiratory protection is not required under normal & intended uses. Self-contained breathing apparatus required during fire
fighting & spill clean up.
Ventilation: Room ventilation is expected to be adequate except during spills or fires.
Protective Gloves: Required when contact with sulfuric acid exists
Eye Protection: Required when possibility of contact with sulfuric acid exists.
Other Protective Clothing or Equipment: An eye wash fountain & safety shower should be readily available where the potential for contact with
sulfuric acid exists.
SECTION 9 鈥? SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS
Precautions to be taken in handling & storing: Store & 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 &
absorb spilled acid.
