EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Appearance: clear, colorless.
Danger! Corrosive. Hygroscopic.
Target Organs: Kidneys, respiratory system, eyes, skin, bladder.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
May cause irreversible eye injury. Contact with liquid is
corrosive to the eyes and causes severe burns.
Skin:
Contact with liquid is corrosive and causes severe burns and
ulceration.
Ingestion:
Causes severe pain, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and shock. May cause
hemorrhaging of the digestive tract. May cause corrosion and
permanent tissue destruction of the esophagus and digestive tract.
Inhalation:
Irritation may lead to chemical pneumonitis and pulmonary edema.
Causes severe irritation of upper respiratory tract with coughing,
burns, breathing difficulty, and possible coma.

MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET Page 2 of 7
Chronic:
Prolonged inhalation may cause respiratory tract inflammation and
lung damage. Prolonged or repeated skin contact may cause
dermatitis. Prolonged or repeated eye contact may cause
conjunctivitis.
**** SECTION 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES ****
Eyes:
Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes,
occasionally lifting the upper and lower lids. Get medical aid
immediately.
Skin:
Get medical aid immediately. Immediately flush skin with plenty of
soap and water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated
clothing and shoes. Discard contaminated clothing in a manner which
limits further exposure.
Ingestion:
Do NOT induce vomiting. If victim is conscious and alert, give 2-4
cupfuls of milk or water. Get medical aid immediately.
Inhalation:
Get medical aid immediately. Remove from exposure to fresh air
immediately. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If
breathing is difficult, give oxygen.
Notes to Physician:
Treat symptomatically and supportively.
Antidote:
No specific antidote exists.
**** SECTION 5 - FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES ****
General Information:
As in any fire, wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in
pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and full
protective gear. Wear appropriate protective clothing to prevent
contact with skin and eyes. Wear a self-contained breathing apparatus
(SCBA) to prevent contact with thermal decomposition products.

Incompatibilities with Other Materials:
Reacts with alkalies (bases) to form phosphate salts and is corrosive
(especially when hot) to many metals and alloys. Liberates explosive
hydrogen gas when reacting with chlorides and stainless steel, and
reacts violently with sodium tetrahydroborate. Causes exothermic
reations with aldehydes, amines, amides, alcohols and glycols,
azo-compounds, carbamates, esters, caustics, phenols and cresols,
ketones, organophosphates, epoxides, explosives, combustible
materials, unsaturated halides, and organic peroxides. Forms
flammable gases with sulfides, mercaptans, cyanides, and aldehydes.
Also forms toxic fumes with cyanides, sulfides, fluorides, organic
peroxides, and halogenated organics. Hot, dilute phosphoric acid
reacts with nickel carbonate to form trinickel orthphosphate.
Mixtures with nitromethane are explosive.
