EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Appearance: white solid.
Danger! Corrosive. Causes eye and skin burns.
Strong oxidizer. Contact with other material may cause a fire. May
cause severe respiratory tract irritation with possible burns. May
cause severe digestive tract irritation with possible burns.
Target Organs: No data found.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Causes eye burns. May cause permanent corneal opacification. May
cause chemical conjunctivitis and corneal damage.
Skin:
Causes skin burns. May cause skin rash (in milder cases), and cold
and clammy skin with cyanosis or pale color.
Ingestion:
May cause severe and permanent damage to the digestive tract. Causes
gastrointestinal tract burns. May cause perforation of the digestive
tract. Causes digestive tract burns with immediate pain, swelling of
the throat, convulsions, and possible coma. May cause systemic
effects. May cause nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea, possibly with
blood.
Inhalation:
May cause irritation of the respiratory tract with burning pain in
the nose and throat, coughing, wheezing, shortness of breath and
pulmonary edema. Causes chemical burns to the respiratory tract.
Aspiration may lead to pulmonary edema. May cause systemic effects.
May cause acute pulmonary edema, asphyxia, chemical pneumonitis, and
upper airway obstruction caused by edema.
Chronic:
Effects may be delayed.
Section 4 - First Aid Measures
|
Eyes:
Get medical aid immediately. Do NOT allow victim to rub eyes or keep
eyes closed. Extensive irrigation with water is required (at least 30
minutes).
Skin:
Get medical aid immediately. Immediately flush skin with plenty of
water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing
and shoes. Wash clothing before reuse. Destroy contaminated shoes.
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 and move to fresh
air immediately. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If
breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Do NOT use mouth-to-mouth
resuscitation. 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. Material will not burn. Strong oxidizer. Contact
with other material may cause fire. 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. Use water
with caution and in flooding amounts. Decomposes at high
temperatures, resulting in toxic and corrosive products. Some
oxidizers may react explosively with hydrocarbons(fuel). May
accelerate burning if involved in a fire. Containers may explode when
heated.
Extinguishing Media:
Contact professional fire-fighters immediately. For small fires, do
NOT use dry chemicals, carbon dioxide, halon or foams. USE WATER
ONLY. For large fires flood fire with water from a distance.
Flash Point: Not available.
Autoignition Temperature: Not available.
Explosion Limits, Lower:Not available.

NFPA Rating:
(estimated) Health: 3; Flammability: 0; Instability: 1; Special Hazard: OX
Section 6 - Accidental Release Measures
|
General Information: Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated
in Section 8.
Spills/Leaks:
Vacuum or sweep up material and place into a suitable disposal
container. Clean up spills immediately, observing precautions in the
Protective Equipment section. Avoid generating dusty conditions.
Remove all sources of ignition. Provide ventilation. Do not use
combustible materials such as paper towels to clean up spill.
Section 7 - Handling and Storage
|
Handling:
Remove contaminated clothing and wash before reuse. Use with
adequate ventilation. Minimize dust generation and accumulation.
Avoid breathing vapors from heated material. Do not breathe dust,
mist, or vapor. Do not get in eyes, on skin, or on clothing. Keep
container tightly closed. Avoid contact with clothing and other
combustible materials. Avoid ingestion and inhalation. Discard
contaminated shoes.
Storage:
Keep away from heat, sparks, and flame. 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. Heat can cause thermal decomposition and pressure
build-up inside containers.
Section 8 - Exposure Controls, Personal Protection
|
Engineering Controls:
Facilities storing or utilizing this material should be equipped
with an eyewash facility and a safety shower. Use adequate
ventilation to keep airborne concentrations low. Use only under a
chemical fume hood.
