MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET Page 2 of 7
cause severe respiratory tract irritation and possible burns.
Exposure may lead to bronchitis, pharyngitis, and dental erosion.
Chronic:
Repeated exposure may cause erosion of teeth. Chronic exposure may
cause lung damage.
**** SECTION 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES ****
Eyes:
Flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes,
occasionally lifting the upper and lower lids. Get medical aid
immediately. Do NOT allow victim to rub or keep eyes closed.
Skin:
Get medical aid immediately. Flush skin with plenty of soap and
water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing
and shoes. Wash clothing before reuse. Discard contaminated clothing
in a manner which limits further exposure. SPEEDY ACTION IS
CRITICAL!
Ingestion:
Do NOT induce vomiting. If victim is conscious and alert, give 2-4
cupfuls of milk or water. Never give anything by mouth to an
unconscious person. Get medical aid immediately.
Inhalation:
Get medical aid immediately. Remove from exposure to fresh air
immediately. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. DO NOT use
mouth-to-mouth respiration. If breathing has ceased apply artificial
respiration using oxygen and a suitable mechanical device such as a
bag and a mask.
Notes to Physician:
Treat symptomatically and supportively.
**** 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. During a fire, irritating and highly toxic gases
may be generated by thermal decomposition or combustion. 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. Reaction with water may
generate much heat which will increase the concentration of fumes in
the air. Contact with metals may evolve flammable hydrogen gas.
Substance may react with water, and may release corrosive and/or
toxic gases. Containers may explode when heated or if contaminated
with water.
Extinguishing Media:
Do NOT get water inside containers. Do NOT use straight streams of
water. For large fires, use dry chemical, carbon dioxide,
alcohol-resistant foam, or water spray. Cool containers with flooding
quantities of water until well after fire is out. For small fires,
use dry chemical, dry sand, alcohol-resistant foam.
Autoignition Temperature: Not applicable.
Flash Point: Not applicable.
NFPA Rating: Not published.
Explosion Limits, Lower: Not available.
Upper: Not available.
**** SECTION 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES ****
General Information: Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated
in Section 8.
Spills/Leaks:
http://www.fisher1.com/fb/itv?16..f97..msa0013.925..1.. 1/6/99
MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET Page 3 of 7
Neutralize spill with sodium bicarbonate. Cover with sand, dry lime
or soda ash and place in a closed container for disposal. Remove all
sources of ignition. Provide ventilation. Do not get water inside
containers. A vapor suppressing foam may be used to reduce vapors.
**** SECTION 7 - HANDLING and STORAGE ****
Handling:
Wash thoroughly after handling. Remove contaminated clothing and
wash before reuse. Do not get in eyes, on skin, or on clothing. Keep
container tightly closed. Do not ingest or inhale. Use with adequate
ventilation.
Storage:
Do not store near combustible materials. Keep container closed when
not in use. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from
incompatible substances. Do not store in metal containers. Do not
store near alkaline substances.
**** SECTION 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS, PERSONAL PROTECTION ****
Engineering Controls:
Use process enclosure, local exhaust ventilation, or other
engineering controls to control airborne levels below recommended
exposure limits.
