EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Appearance: Yellow
Caution! Corrosive. May cause skin irritation. May cause severe eye irritation and
possible injury.
Target Organs: None known.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Eye exposure can lead to corneal or conjunctival damage leading to scarring or impaired vision or blindness.
Material Safety Data Sheet
Color Standardd No. 500 APHA (platinum cobalt color standard)
Skin:
Skin contact may result in irritation, pain, burns, blisters, and brown or yellow stains.
Ingestion:
Ingestion can result in burns of the mouth, throat, and gastrointestinal tract, with pain, nausea, vomiting, chills, shock
and thirst. Circulatory collapse leading to renal, liver, or heart failure may occur in severe cases.
Inhalation:
Inhalation may cause coughing, choking, dizziness, burning of throat or nose. Above 5ppm, inflammation, ulceration,
other respiratory conditions, such as laryngitis, bronchitis, pneumonia may occur. Severe exposure may cause
circulatory shock, asphyxiation, gastric hemorrhage, cyanosis and death.
Chronic:
Dental erosion, jaw necrosis, dermatitis, conjunctivitis or corneal damage and scarring.
Section 4 - First Aid Measures
Eyes:
Flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, occasionally lifting the upper and lower lids until no evidence
of chemical remains. Get medical aid at once.
Skin:
Get medical aid. Immediately flush skin with plenty of soap and water for at least 15 minutes while removing
contaminated clothing and shoes. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Cover burns with a dry sterile bandage
(secure, not tight).
Ingestion:
Get medical aid at once. Give oxygen if respiration is depressed. If persistent vomiting occurs, fluids must be
administered. Do not use gastric lavage or induce vomiting.
Inhalation:
Give artificial respiration if necessary. Get medical aid. Keep victim warm, at rest. Move victim to fresh air. Maintain
airway and blood pressure.
Notes to Physician:
Treat symptomatically and supportively.
Section 5 - Fire Fighting Measures
