3. HAZARDOUS IDENTIFICATION
Emergency Overview
Corrosive.
Keep away from heat and sources of ignition.
Severe respiratory irritant.
Severe skin irritant.
Severe eye irritant.
May cause sensitization by skin contact.
Toxic by inhalation
Potential Health Effects
Inhalation: Inhalation of aerosol may cause irritation to upper respiratory
tract. Risk of serious damage to lungs (by irritation).
May cause nose, throat and lung irritation. Can cause severe
eye, skin and respiratory tract burning. Toxic by inhalation.
Eye contact : Causes eye burns. May cause blindness. Severe eye irritation.
Skin contact : Causes skin burns.
Ingestion : If ingested, severe burns of the mouth and throat, as well as a
danger of perforation of the oesophagus and the stomach
Chronic Health Hazard : This product contains no listed carcinogens according to
IARC, AGIH,NTP and/or OSHA in concentrations of 0.1 percent
or greater. Prolonged contact may result in chemical burns
and permanent damage. Repeated or prolonged contact
causes sensitization, asthma and eczemas.
Exposure Guidelines
Target Organs : Respiratory system.
Skin.
Eyes.
Symptoms : Repeated and/or prolonged exposure to low concentrations of
vapors and/or aerosols may cause: Sore throat.
Aggravated Medical Condition
Asthma. Adverse respiratory effects (such as cough, tightness of chest or short-
ness of breath). Eye disease Skin disorders and Allergies. Adverse skin effects
(such as rash, irritation or corrosion). Adverse eye effects (such as conjunctivitis
or corneal damage).
4. FIRST AID MEASURES
General advice : Seek medical advice. If breathing has stopped or is labored,
give assisted respirations. Supplemental oxygen may be indi-
cated. If the heart has stopped, trained personnel should begin
cardiopulmonary resuscitation immediately.
Eye contact : Rinse immediately with plenty of water also under the eyelid
for at least 20 minutes. Remove contact lenses. Seek medical advice.
Skin contact : Immediately remove contaminated clothing, and any extrane-
ous chemical, if possible to do so without delay. Wash off im-
mediately with plenty of water for at least 20 minutes. Cover
wound with sterile dressing. Take off contaminated clothing
and shoes immediately. NOTE TO PHYSICIANS: Application of
corticosteroid cream has been effective in treating skin irrita-
tion. Seek medical advice.
Ingestion : If a person vomits when lying on his back, place him in the
recovery position. Do not induce vomiting without medical
advice. Drink 1 or 2 glasses of water. Prevent aspiration of
vomit. Turn victim's head to the side. Seek medical advice.
Inhalation : If breathing has stopped or is labored, give assisted respira-
tions. Supplemental oxygen may be indicated. If the heart has
stopped, trained personnel should begin cardiopulmonary
resuscitation immediately. Move to fresh air. Seek medical advice.
5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES
Suitable extinguishing media : Alcohol-resistant foam.
Carbon dioxide (CO2).
Dry chemical.
Dry sand.
Limestone powder.
gen oxide gases. Use of water may result in the forma-
tion of very toxic aqueous solutions. Do not allow run-
Incomplete combustion may form carbon monoxide.
Ammonia gas may be liberated at high temperatures.
In case of incomplete combustion an increased forma-
tion of oxides of nitrogen (NOx) is to be expected.
Downwind personnel must be evacuated. Burning pro-
duces obnoxious and toxic fumes.
Avoid contact with the skin. A face shield should be
worn. Use personal protective equipment. Wear self
necessary.
or water courses.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES FOR QUANTITIES GREATER THAN 2 LITERS
Personal precautions : Use self-contained breathing apparatus and chemically pro-
tective clothing. Wear suitable protective clothing, gloves and
eye/face protection. Evacuate personnel to safe areas.
Environmental precautions : Construct a dike to prevent spreading.
Methods for cleaning up : Approach suspected leak areas with caution. Contact ATS, Inc. for
advice. Place in appropriate chemical waste container.
Additional advice : Open enclosed spaces to outside atmosphere. If possible,
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Handling
Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Use only in well-ventilated areas. Avoid breathing vapors and/
or aerosols. Emergency showers and eye wash stations should be readily accessible. Adhere to
work practice rules established by government regulations. Avoid contact with eyes. Use personal
protective equipment. When using, do not eat, drink or smoke.
Storage
Do not store near acids. Keep containers tightly closed in a dry, cool and well-ventilated place.
Technical measures/Precautions
Do not store in reactive metal containers.
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
Engineering measures
Provide readily accessible eye wash stations and safety showers. Provide natural or explosion-
proof ventilation adequate to ensure concentrations are kept below exposure limits.
Personal protective equipment
Respiratory protection : Wear appropriate respirator when ventilation is inadequate.
Hand protection : Neoprene gloves.
PVC disposable gloves
Nitrile rubber.
Impervious gloves.
The breakthrough time of the selected glove(s) must be
greater than the intended use period.
Eye protection : Full face shield with goggles underneath.
Chemical resistant goggles must be worn.
Skin Protection : Skin and body protection Slicker Suit.
Impervious clothing.
Full rubber suit (rain gear).
Rubber or plastic boots.
Long sleeve shirts and trousers without cuffs.
Environmental exposure controls :
Construct a dike to prevent spreading.
Special instructions for protection and hygiene:
Discard contaminated articles. Provide readily acces-
sible eye wash stations and safety showers. Wash at the end
of each workshift and before eating, smoking or using the
toilet.
