Product #HYZN Page 2 of 7
Skin Contact / Absorption鈥︹??.鈥?..... Irritation upon direct contact. Can cause reddening, itching, swelling
burning and possible blistering. Prolonged or repeated skin contact may
cause dermatitis in the form of erythema, blistering or eczema-like
rashes. Some individuals have exhibited allergic skin reactions which
disappear when removed from exposure.
Eye Contact................鈥︹?︹?︹??.鈥?..... Irritation upon direct contact. severe irritant, causing burning, reddening and
tearing. Permanent damage is possible. severe exposure to hydrazine
vapours has been reported to cause temporary blindness, lasting
for as long as 24 hours.
Ingestion.....................鈥︹?︹?︹?︹?︹??.. Highly toxic. Causes irritation and burning of the mucous membranes of the
gastrointestinal tract.
Exposure Limits鈥︹?︹?︹?︹?︹?︹?︹??.... ACGIH/TLV-TWA: 0.01ppm
Section 04 - First Aid Measures
Inhalation....................鈥︹?︹?︹?︹?︹??... Remove victim to fresh air. Give artificial respiration only if breathing has
stopped. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Seek immediate medical
attention.
Skin Contact / Absorption鈥︹?︹?︹??... Remove contaminated clothing. Wash affected area with soap and water.
Seek medical attention if irritation occurs or persists.
Eye Contact..................鈥︹?︹?︹?︹??..... Flush immediately with water for at least 20 minutes. Forcibly hold eyelids
apart to ensure complete irrigation of eye tissue. Seek immediate medical
attention.
Ingestion......................鈥︹?︹?︹?︹?︹??.. Dilute with small quantities of water (200-250 mL). Do not induce vomiting
unless directed by medical personnel. Never give anything by mouth to an
unconscious person. Get immediate medical attention.
Additional Information.....鈥︹?︹?︹??.... There are no definitive antidotes for hydrazine exposure. Treat any ill
effects symptomatically and supportively. Parenteral pyridoxine
administration has been used by some physicians to treat patients
suffering from acute central nervous system effects.

Section 06 - Accidental Release Measures
Leak / Spill................鈥?.鈥︹?︹?︹?︹??.... Utilize recommended protective clothing. Spills should be contained by
diking and digging a containment pit sufficiently large enough to hold at
least 10 times the spill. Dilute to approximately 10 times the volume with
water and add sufficient dry commercial calcium hypochlorite (dry chlorine,
dry bleach) to completely oxidize the hydrazine (use 7-10 lbs per lb of
hydrazine). Calcium hypochlorite or other oxidizing agents should never be
allowed to mix with undiluted hydrazine solutions. The resulting reaction is
very vigorous, releasing large amounts of heat and gas. Contaminated
surfaces should be treated with household bleach or calcium hypochlorite
solution to oxidize the residual hydrazine.
Deactivating Materials...鈥︹?︹??.鈥?.... Calcium hypochlorite, household bleach
Section 07 - Handling and Storage
Handling Procedures.......鈥︹?︹?︹??.... Use proper equipment for lifting and transporting all containers. Use
sensible industrial hygiene and housekeeping practices. Wash thoroughly
after handling. Avoid all situations that could lead to harmful exposure.
This product may become electrostatically charged during filling and
transferring. Make sure equipment is properly bonded and grounded.
Storage Requirements......鈥︹??...鈥?... Store in a dry place away from heat (below 50oC) and away from ignition
sources and oxidants, preferably outdoors. Shelter drums stored outdoors
from direct sunlight. For indoor storage areas, continuous ventilation should
be provided.

Section 08 - Personal Protection and Exposure Controls
Protective Equipment
Eyes.鈥︹?︹?︹?︹?︹?︹?︹?︹?︹??.鈥︹?︹??..... Chemical goggles, full-face shield, or a full-face respirator is to be worn at
all times when product is handled. Contact lenses should not be worn; they
may contribute to severe eye injury.
Respiratory鈥︹?︹?︹?︹?︹?︹?︹?︹?︹??...... A positive pressure, supplied-air respirator or a self-contained breathing
apparatus is recommended if airborne concentrations exceed the
appropriate standards.
Gloves鈥︹?︹?︹?︹?︹?︹?︹?︹?︹?︹?︹??...... Impervious gloves of chemically resistant material (rubber, neoprene, nitrile
or PVC) should be worn at all times. Wash contaminated clothing and dry
thoroughly before reuse.
Clothing鈥︹?︹?︹?︹?︹?︹?︹?︹??..鈥︹??..... Body suits, aprons, and/or coveralls of chemical resistant material should
be worn at all times. Wash contaminated clothing and dry thoroughly before
reuse.
Footwear鈥︹?︹?︹?︹?︹?︹?︹?︹?︹?︹??...... Impervious boots of chemically resistant material should be worn at all
times.
Engineering Controls
Ventilation Requirements鈥︹?︹??....... Mechanical ventilation (dilution or local exhaust), process or personnel
enclosure and control of process conditions should be provided. Supply
sufficient replacement air to make up for air removed by exhaust systems.
Other鈥︹?︹?︹?︹?︹?︹?︹?︹?︹?︹?︹?︹??..... Do not store or transfer hydrazine solutions in open containers. Because
hydrazine can be absorbed into the body by all common routes of
exposure, protective equipment must be used. Personal protective
equipment is not an adequate substitute for safet work practices, proper
equipment design and good mantenance practices. Eye wash facility should
be close in proximity. emergency shower should be in close proximity.

Animal Toxicity Data......鈥?..鈥︹?︹??.... LD50(oral, rat)= 60-129mg/kg
LD50(dermal, rabbit)= 91mg/kg
Carcinogenicity......鈥︹??......鈥︹?︹??.... The NTP and IARC has listed hydrazine as a substance that may
reasonably be anticipated to be a carcinogen. While hydrazine is known to
be an animal carcinogen, no link has been established to cancer in humans
in over forty years of use. Epidemiological studies performed to date on
hydrazine production workers have not identified any association between
hydrazine exposure and any increased risk of cancer.
Reproductive Toxicity..鈥?...鈥︹?︹??.... Animal testing did not show any effects on fertility. Fetotoxicity has been
observed in animal studies.
Teratogenicity..........鈥?.....鈥︹?︹?︹??.... Fetotoxicity only seen with maternal toxicity.
Mutagenicity...........鈥︹??.....鈥︹?︹?︹??.. Hydrazine has demonstrated mutagenic potential in several test systems
such as bacteria, phage, higher plants, drosophila, and the host-mediated
assay. It was negative in the dominant lethal assay in mice. Dermal contact
with hydrazine at a dose causing skin damage and systemic effects has
produced embryolethality in rats.
