REAGENTS, INC.--MSDS--2,6-DICHLOROINDOPHENOL, SODIUM SALT PAGE -2-
Chronic Exposure: No information found.
Aggravation of Pre-existing Conditions: No information found.
4. First Aid Measures
Inhalation: Not expected to require first aid measures.
Ingestion: Give several glasses of water to drink to dilute. If large amounts were swallowed, get
medical advice.
Skin Contact: Wash exposed area with soap and water. Get medical advice if irritation develops.
Eye Contact: Wash thoroughly with running water. Get medical advice if irritation develops.
5. Fire Fighting Measures
Fire: As with most organic solids, fire is possible at elevated temperatures or by contact with an
ignition source.
Explosion: Not considered to be an explosion hazard.
Fire Extinguishing Media: Water spray, dry chemical, alcohol foam, or carbon dioxide.
Special Information: In the event of a fire, wear full protective clothing and NIOSH-approved self-
contained breathing apparatus with full-facepiece operated in the pressure demand or other positive
pressure mode.
6. Accidental Release Measures
Remove all sources of ignition. Ventilate area of leak or spill. Wear appropriate personal protective
equipment as specified in Section 8. Spills: Clean up spills in a manner that does not disperse dust into
the air. Use non-sparking tools and equipment. Reduce airborne dust and prevent scattering by
moistening with water. Pick up spill for recovery or disposal and place in a closed container.
7. Handling and Storage
Keep in a tightly closed container, stored in a cool, dry, ventilated area. Protect against physical
damage. Isolate from any source of heat or ignition. Isolate from oxidizing materials. Containers of this
material may be hazardous when empty since they retain product residues (dust, solids); observe all
warnings and precautions listed for the product.
8. Exposure Controls/Personal Protection
Airborne Exposure Limits: None established.
Ventilation System: In general, dilution ventilation is a satisfactory health hazard control for this
substance. However, if conditions of use create discomfort to the worker, a local exhaust system should
be considered.
Personal Respirators (NIOSH Approved): For conditions of use where exposure to the dust or mist is
apparent, a half-face dust/mist respirator may be worn. For emergencies or instances where the
exposure levels are not known, use a full-face positive-pressure, air-supplied respirator. WARNING:
REAGENTS, INC.--MSDS--2,6-DICHLOROINDOPHENOL, SODIUM SALT PAGE -3-
Air-purifying respirators do not protect workers in oxygen-deficient atmospheres.
Skin Protection: Wear protective gloves and clean body-covering clothing.
Eye Protection: Use chemical safety goggles. Maintain eye wash fountain and quick-drench facilities in
work area.
