IV 鈥? FIRST AID MEASURES
Emergency and First Aid Procedures:
Ingestion: Drink several glasses of water. Obtain medical attention.
Inhalation: In the improbable event of product inhalation, remove the affected
individual to fresh air and provide fresh air or artificial respiration as
required. Obtain medical attention.
Skin Contact: Wash affected areas with soap and water, apply emollient skin
cream to minimize dryness and seek medical attention if irritation persists.
Eye Contact: Flush thoroughly with water for five minutes and obtain medical
attention if irritation of eye membranes persist.
After first-aid, get appropriate in-plant, paramedic or community medical support if
exposure systems persist.
Note to physicians: Under normal use and human exposure conditions, the product is
considered non toxic and non- hazardous.
Special precautions/procedures: None
V 鈥? FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD DATA
Flash Point : None
Flash point method: N/A
Flammable Limits:
LEL: N/A
UEL: N/A
Burning rate: N/A
Auto ignition temperature: N/A
Flammability classification: Nonflammable
Extinguishing Media: N/A
Hazardous combustion products: Thermal oxidative decomposition of the product may
release toxic fumes of hydrogen chloride and metal oxide.
Special Fire-fighting Procedures: Do not release runoff from fire control methods to
sewers or waterways.
Fire-Fighting equipment: Since fire may produce toxic thermal decomposition products,
2
wear a self-contained breathing apparatus(SCBA) with a full face piece operated
in pressure-demand or positive pressure mode.
Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: None
VI 鈥? ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Spill/Leak procedures:
Small & Large spills:
Containment: For all spills, pick up mechanically and place in suitable container
for disposal. Do not release into sewers or waterways.
Cleanup: After product recovery and removal, flush spill area with water to a
sanitary sewer.
Regulatory requirements: Follow applicable OSHA regulations(29 CFR
1910.120)
VII 鈥? HANDLING AND STORAGE
Precautions to Be Taken in Handling:
Wear appropriate eye and glove protection to minimize personal exposure.
Storage:
Do not store with oxidizing materials. Keep containers sealed.
Regulatory requirements: None established.
VIII 鈥? EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
Respiratory Protection: If product misting occurs, follow OSHA respirator regulations
(29 CFR 1910.134) and if necessary, wear a MSHA/NIOSH-approved respirator.
Select respirator based on its suitability to provide adequate worker protection for
given working conditions, level of airborne contamination and presence of
sufficient oxygen. If respirators are used, OSHA requires a written respiratory
protection program that includes at least medical certification, training, fit-testing,
periodic environmental monitoring, maintenance, inspection, cleaning and
convenient sanitary storage areas.
Engineering controls:
Ventilation:
In the event of product misting, provide general or local exhaust ventilation
systems to minimize airborne concentrations.
Local Exhaust: Local ventilation preferred because it prevents
contaminant dispersion into the work area by controlling it at its source.
Mechanical Exhaust: None
Protective Clothing or Equipment: Wear chemically protective gloves to prevent
prolonged or repeated skin contact. Wear protective glasses or chemical safety
goggles, per OSHA eye and face protection regulations ( 29 CFR 1910.133).
Contact lenses are not eye protective devices. Appropriate eye protection must be
worn instead of or in conjunction with contact lenses.
Work/ Hygienic Practices: Make emergency eyewash stations, safety/quick-drench
3
showers and washing facilities available in work area. Separate contaminated
work clothes from street clothes, launder before reuse. Remove material from
your shoes and clean personal protective equipment after use.
Comments: Never eat, drink or smoke in work areas. Practice good personal hygiene
after using this material, especially before eating, drinking, smoking, using the
toilet or applying cosmetics.
