SECTION 3 HAZARD IDENTIFICATION
ROUTES OF EXPOSURE:
Ingestion
Skin Absorption
Inhalation
EXPOSURE STANDARDS:
No standards established for the product.
Maintain air contaminant concentrations in the workplace at the lowest feasible levels.
HEALTH HAZARDS:
Severe eye irritant, Severe skin irritant, Severe respiratory tract irritant. Corrosive Liquid. May cause
skin sensitization.
SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF EXPOSURE (Acute Effects)
Contact of undiluted product with the eyes or skin quickly causes severe irritation and pain and may
cause burns, necrosis and permanent injury. Inhalation of vapors may severely damage contacted
tissue and produce scarring.
Product vapor in low concentrations can cause lacrimation, conjunctivitis and corneal edema when
absorbed into the tissue of the eye from the atmosphere.
Corneal edema may give rise to a perception of "blue haze" or "fog" around lights. The effect is
transient and has no known residual effect.
Ingestion may cause bleeding of the gastrointestinal tract and the vomiting of blood.
SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF EXPOSURE (Possible Longer Term Effects)
Repeated and/or prolonged exposure may cause allergic reaction/sensitization.
Repeated and/or prolonged exposures may result in: adverse respiratory effects (such as cough,
tightness of chest or shortness of breath); adverse skin effects (such as defatting, rash, or irritation);
adverse eye effects (such as conjunctivitis or corneal damage).
MEDICAL CONDITIONS GENERALLY AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE:
Asthma; Chronic respiratory disease (e.g. Bronchitis, Emphysema); Eye disease; Skin Disorders and
Allergies.
SECTION 4 FIRST AID MEASURES
EYES: Hold eyelids apart and immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Seek medical
advice.
SKIN: Remove product and immediately flush affected area with water for at least 15 minutes. Seek medical
advice. Cover the affected area with a sterile dressing or clean sheeting and transport for medical care. DO NOT
APOLY GREASES OR OINTMENTS. Control shock, if present. Launder contaminated clothing prior to
reuse. Contaminated leather wear should be discarded. Victims of a major skin area contact should remain
under medical observation for at least 24 hours due to possible delayed effects.
INGESTION: In the event of ingestion, administer 3-4 glasses of milk or water. DO NOT INDUCE
VOMITING. Seek medical advice. Note to physicians: This product is highly injurious to all tissues, similar to
that of ammonia or ammonia gas. Chemical pneumonitis, pulmonary edema, laryngeal edema and delayed
scarring of the airway or other affected tissues may occur following exposure. There is no specific treatment.
MSDS A-7200 Part B 2
Clinical management is based on supportive treatment, which is similar to that for thermal burns.
INHALATION: Move patient to fresh air. If breathing has stopped or is labored give assisted respiration (e.g.
mouth-to-mouth). Prevent aspiration of vomit. Turn victim's head to the side. Assure mucus does not obstruct
airway. Seek medical advice.
SECTION 5 FIRE ?FIGHTING MEASURES
CHARACTERISTICS:
FLASH POINT 96C (205F)
FLASH POINT METHOD(S) Pensky-Martin Closed Cup
UPPER EXPLOSION LIMIT (UEL) No Data
LOWER EXPLOSION LIMIT (LEL) No Data
AUTOIGNITION TEMPERATURE No Data
FIRE HAZARD CLASSIFICATION (OSHA/NFPA) Class IIIB
Recommended Fire Extinguishing Agents and Special Procedures: Ignition will give rise to a Class B fire. In
case of fire use: Water spray, Carbon Dioxide (CO2), Dry Chemical, alcohol foam.
Unusual or Explosive Hazards: May generate toxic or irritating combustion products. Sudden reaction and
fire may result if product is mixed with an oxidizing agent.
Special Protective Equipment for firefighters: Retain expended liquids from fire fighting for later disposal.
Firefighters should wear butyl rubber boots, gloves, and body suit and a self-contained breathing apparatus.
Water spray is also useful in cooling fire-exposed tanks and in dispersing vapors.
SECTION 6 ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
FOR ALL TRANSPORTATION ACCIDENTS, CALL CHEMTREC AT 800-424-9300.
CONTAINMENT TECHNIQUES (Removal of ignition sources, diking, etc.): Stop the leak, if possible.
Ventilate the space involved. Shut off or remove all ignition sources. Construct a dike to prevent spreading.
CLEAN-UP PROCEDURES: Cover minor spills with sodium bisulfate to neutralize and reduce vapors. Spray
with water. Place in metal containers for recovery or disposal. Clean-up personnel must be equipped with self-
contained breathing apparatus and butyl rubber protective clothing.
SECTION 7 HANDLING AND STORAGE
Precautions to be Taken In
Handling: Handle in well ventilated work space. Avoid breathing of vapors.
Storage: Store in steel containers preferably located outdoors, above ground, and surrounded by dikes to
contain spills or leaks. Keep away from oxidizers, heat or flames. Keep in cool, dry, ventilated storage and in
closed containers.
Other: Emergency showers and eye wash stations should be readily accessible. Adhere to work practice rules
established by government regulations (e.g. OSHA).
SECTION 8 EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
Protection Equipment (Type)
MSDS A-7200 Part B 3
Eye/Face Protection: Chemical safety glasses, Splash-proof eye goggles. In emergency situations, use eye
goggles with a full face shield.
Hand Protection: Nitrile rubber gloves.
Respiratory Protection: An organic vapor respirator National Institute for Occupational Safety and health
(NIOSH) approved for organic vapors is recommended under emergency conditions. Emergency situations:
when product concentration exceeds the limits listed in Section 2; during repair and cleaning of equipment;
during transfer or discharge of the product.
Protective Clothing: Slicker Suit, Rubber boots
Engineering Controls: Adequate general and local exhaust.
Work and Hygienic Practices: Wash at the end of each work shift and before eating, smoking or using the toilet.
Launder or discard contaminated clothing. Discard contaminated leather articles. Examine protective gloves
before using. Discard if find evidence of holes or cracks.
