Ingestion: Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal cramps, red lesions on the skin and mucous membranes, delirium,
convulsions, coma
Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure:
Skin, eye, respiratory, pulmonary, thyroid, kidney, liver, testicular diseases
Emergency and First Aid Procedures:
Inhalation: Remove to fresh air immediately. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen (To be
administered by qualified medical personnel only!) Get medical attention.
Ingestion: If victim is conscious and alert, wash out mouth with water and give victim plenty of water to drink. (Never give
anything by mouth to an unconscious person!) Get medical attention immediately.
Skin: Flush skin with plenty of soap and water for at least 15 minutes. Remove contaminated clothing. Seek medical attention.
Eyes: Flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, occasionally lifting the upper and lower lids. Do not allow victim to
rub or keep eyes closed. Get medical aid immediately.
Other Health Warnings:
V. Fire Fighting Measures:
Flash Point: 390 F Lower Explosive Limit: NE Upper Explosive Limit: NE
F.P. Method:
Fire Extinguishing Media: Carbon dioxide, dry chemical powder, appropriate foam, water fog or fine spray
Special Fire Fighting Procedures:
Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and protective clothing. DO NOT use direct streams of water.
Unusual Fire and Explosion:
"Empty" containers may contain product residue and may be dangerous. Empty containers should be completely drained and
bunged and then disposed of according to local, state, and federal regulations.
VI. Accidental Release Measures:
Steps to be Taken in Case Material is Released or Spilled:
Wear vapor respirator, safety goggles, and rubber gloves. Remove sources of ignition (i.e. open flames, sparks). Dike if
necessary. Dilute with water and add slight excess of soda ash. Mix and neutralize with 6M HCl. Soak up with inert absorbent
material (sand or earth recommended; do not use flammable substances such as sawdust). Ventilate and wash spill site after
collection. Dispose according to local, state, and federal regulations.
VII. Handling and Storage:
Precautions to be Taken:
Keep in tightly closed container. Keep cool and dry. Protect from direct sunlight and moisture. Store between 64F and 130 F.
Avoid incompatible materials. Use only in well-ventilated areas. Avoid contact with skin, eyes, and clothing. Avoid breathing
vapors. Avoid prolonged or repeated exposure. Wash thoroughly after handling. Be prepared to neutralize and absorb spilled
thiocyanate.
Other Precautions:
"Empty" containers may contain product residue and may be dangerous. Empty containers should be completely drained and
bunged and then disposed of according to local, state, and federal regulations.
