Section 3. Hazards Identification
Acute Effects Routes of EntryAbsorbed through skin. Eye contact. Inhalation.
Ingestion.
Skin Hazardous in case of skin contact (corrosive, permeator). Causes skin burns. Contact results in immediate skin
absorption which may cause hypocalcemia (calcium loss) This effect may be delayed for several hours after exposure.
Severe over-exposure by absorption can result in death. Get medical attention immediately.
Eyes Hazardous in case of eye contact (corrosive). Eye contact can result in corneal damage or blindness.
Inhalation Hazardous in case of inhalation. May be fatal if inhaled. DO NOT breathe vapors or spray mist. Vapors and aerosol
can produce mucous membrane, nose and throat irritation. May cause inflammation and pulmonary edema.
Ingestion May be fatal if swallowed. May cause burns to mouth, throat and stomach. May cause impaired kidney function.
Chronic Effects The substance may be toxic to liver, Kidneys. Repeated or prolonged exposure to the substance can
produce target organs damage. Repeated or prolonged contact with spray mist may produce chronic
eye irritation and severe skin irritation. Repeated or prolonged exposure to spray mist may produce
respiratory tract irritation leading to frequent attacks of bronchial infection. Repeated skin exposure
can produce local skin destruction, or dermatitis.
Additional information : See Toxicological Information (section 11)
Section 4. First Aid Measures
Eye Contact Check for and remove any contact lenses. In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water
for at least 15 minutes. Get medical attention immediately.
Skin Contact In case of contact, immediately flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while removing
contaminated clothing and shoes. Get immediate medical attention while applying and massaging 2.5%
calcium gluconate gel, or while soaking skin with 0.13% zephiran chloride solution. Wash clothing before
reuse.
If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give
Inhalation
oxygen. Get medical attention immediately.
Ingestion Do NOT induce vomiting unless directed to do so by medical personnel. Never give anything by mouth to
an unconscious person. If affected person is conscious, give plenty of water to drink. Get medical attention
immediately.

Section 6. Accidental Release Measures
Spill Clean up Put on appropriate personal protective equipment (see Section 8). Dilute with water and mop up, or absorb with
an inert dry material and place in an appropriate waste disposal container. To clean the floor and all objects
contaminated by this material, use detergent. Finish cleaning by spreading water on the contaminated surface and
dispose of according to local and regional authority requirements.
Section 7. Handling and Storage
Handling Put on appropriate personal protective equipment (see Section 8). Do not get in eyes, on skin, or on clothing. Do
not ingest. Do not breathe vapor or mist. Keep container closed. Use only with adequate ventilation. Observe
label precautions. Do not reuse product container. Wash thoroughly after handling. Wash contaminated
clothing before reusing.
Storage Keep container tightly closed. Keep container in a cool, well-ventilated area. Store between 40掳F - 120掳F
(4.4掳C - 49掳C). Store away from incompatible materials. Keep away from food, drink and animal feeding
stuffs. Do not contaminate water by cleaning of equipment or disposal of wastes. Keep out of the reach of
children.
Section 8. Exposure Controls, Personal Protection
Engineering Controls Provide exhaust ventilation or other engineering controls to keep the airborne concentrations of vapors
below their respective occupational exposure limits. Ensure that eyewash stations and safety showers
are proximal to the work-station location.
Personal Protection Protective Clothing (Pictograms)
Eyes Splash goggles. Face shield.
Hands and Body Wear appropriate protective clothing to prevent skin contact.
Recommended: Nitrile gloves. Neoprene gloves. Rubber gloves.
Chemical resistant apron. Chemical resistant boots. Full suit.
Respiratory Use with adequate ventilation.Provide exhaust ventilation or other engineering controls to keep the airborne
concentrations of vapors below their respective occupational exposure limits. Wear appropriate respirator when
ventilation is inadequate.
