TETRAMMINE PLATINUM(II)CHLORIDE SOLUTION
Product Formal Name
Product Chemical Family .Not Specified
3. HAZARD IDENTIFICATION
The Platinum ammino complex is of low acute toxicity if ingested. The
solution is irritating to the eyes and the skin. The solid compound does not
produce an allergenic (Type 1 sensitization) response and the solution is
assumed to be similar.
If this material is used to prepare other Platinum compounds, it should be
noted that ionic Platinum-halogeno compounds are normally highly allergenic.

4. FIRST AID MEASURES
First Aid Over-exposure may produce the following symptoms-
Inhalation- Irritation of the respiratory tract.
Eye contact- Redness and irritation.
Skin contact- Irritation. 聽 聽
Remove from exposure and allow to rest in fresh air. Seek medical advice if
First Aid - Inhalation
symptoms persist. 聽
Rinse mouth with clean water, give milk or water to drink. Seek medical
First Aid - Ingestion
advice if symptoms persist.
Irrigate with clean water or isotonic saline solution for 15 minutes.Seek
First Aid - Eyes
medical advice if symptoms persist. 聽
Remove contaminated clothes and wash skin with soap and water. 聽
First Aid - Skin
5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Although the material is not flammable, toxic fumes will be produced if
involved in a fire. The residue, ash or char left after a fire may have catalytic
properties and may promote the re-ignition of flammable materials and
vapours. Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and personal protective
equipment. Use any extinguisher suitable for the surrounding fire. 聽 聽
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Evacuate non-protected personnel. Wear protective clothing, impervious
gloves, eye protection and filter-type respiratory protection when dealing with
spillages. Solid spills should be carefully collected into a sealable, plastic

6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES (continued)
lined drum. Solutions should be absorbed in sand or other inert absorbant
and carefully transferred to a plastic lined drum. The site of the spillage may
be treated with an aqueous solution of a reducing agent, to convert any
remaining platinum compounds to the metal. Store accumulated rags, wipes,
mops, sand, vermiculite etc. in suitably labelled containers for return to the
refinery for precious metal recovery. Afterwards, wash the site of the spillage
with copious amounts of water. If the spill has resulted in the dispersion of
dust through the air, the area must be decontaminated by thorough washing
with water. 聽 聽 聽
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Good industrial hygiene practices should be observed. Avoid direct contact.
Handling (JM)
Do not eat, drink, smoke or apply cosmetics whilst handling. Exposure to air-
borne particulates must be kept within permissible limits. Use only under
conditions of good local ventilation. 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽
Keep in a secure store, in a sealed, plastic container, away from incompatible

materials such as reducing agents. 聽 聽 聽
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
The following exposure controls have been established for Platinum
compounds -
UK HSE MEL - Halogeno-platinum compounds,(as Pt) - 0.002 mg/m鈥?
UK HSE OES - Platinum compounds, soluble (as Pt) - 0.002 mg/m鈥?
USA ACGIH TLV - Platinum, soluble salts (as Pt) - 0.002 mg/m鈥?
Germany MAK - Platinum compounds (total dust) - 0.002 mg/m鈥?
Denmark ELV - Platinum compounds, soluble (as Pt) - 0.002 mg/m鈥?
If a risk of inhalation exists, users should wear an appropriate filter type
respirator. Suitable gloves and eye protection should also be worn. 聽
