EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Appearance: dark gray crystalline powder.
Danger! Causes eye and skin burns. Causes
digestive and respiratory tract burns. Hygroscopic (absorbs moisture
from the air).
Target Organs: Respiratory system,
gastrointestinal system, eyes, skin.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Contact with eyes may cause severe irritation, and possible eye
burns.
Skin:
May cause severe irritation and possible burns.
Ingestion:
Causes gastrointestinal tract burns.
Inhalation:
Causes chemical burns to the respiratory tract.
Chronic:
Chronic exposure may cause effects similar to those of acute
exposure.
|
Section 4 - First Aid Measures
|
Eyes:
In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for a
t least 15 minutes. Get medical aid immediately.
Skin:
Get medical aid immediately. In case of contact, immediately wipe
away excess material with a dry cloth while removing contaminated
clothing and shoes. Under safety shower, wash affected areas
thoroughly with large amounts of water, and soap if available, for at
least 15 minutes. Discard or decontaminate clothing and shoes.
Ingestion:
If swallowed, do NOT induce vomiting. Get medical aid immediately.
If victim is fully conscious, give a cupful of water. Never give

Section 6 - Accidental Release Measures
|
General Information: Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated
in Section 8.
Spills/Leaks:
Clean up spills immediately, observing precautions in the Protective
Equipment section. Sweep up, then place into a suitable container for
disposal. Avoid generating dusty conditions. Provide ventilation.
|
Section 7 - Handling and Storage
|
Handling:
Wash thoroughly after handling. Remove contaminated clothing and
wash before reuse. Use with adequate ventilation. Minimize dust
generation and accumulation. Do not get in eyes, on skin, or on
clothing. Discard contaminated shoes. Do not breathe dust.
Storage:
Keep container closed when not in use. Store in a cool, dry,
well-ventilated area away from incompatible substances. Corrosives
area. Keep containers tightly closed.
