SECTION II - HAZARD IDENTIFICATION
Emergency Overview: Poison! Danger! Corrosive. Liquid and mist cause severe burns to all body tissue. May be fatal if
swallowed. Harmful if inhaled. Inhalation may cause lung and tooth damage. Flammable liquid
and vapor.
Inhalation: Inhalation of Concentrated Vapors can cause Serious Damage to the Lining of the Nose, Throat,
and Lungs. Breathing Difficulties may occur. Neither Odor nor Degree of Irritation are Adequate
to Indicate Vapor Concentration.
Ingestion: Swallowing can Cause Severe Injury Leading to Death. Symptoms Include Sore Throat,
Vomiting, and Diarrhea. Ingestion of as Little as 1.0 mL has Resulted in Perforation of the
Esophagus.
Skin: Contact with Concentrated Solutions may cause serious damage to the skin. Effects may include
Redness, Pain, and Skin Burns. High Vapor Concentrations may cause skin Sensitization.
Eye Contact: Vapors are Irritating and May cause Damage to Eyes. Contact May cause Severe Burns and
Permanent Eye Damage.
Chronic Exposure: Long-Term Exposure may cause Darkening of the skin. May cause Erosion of Teeth and
Chronic Inflammation or the Nose, Throat, and Bronchial Tubes.
Aggravated by Exposure: Persons with Pre-Existing skin Disorders or Eye Problems, or Impaired Respiratory Function
May be more Susceptible to the Effects to this Substance.

SECTION IV - FIRST AID MEASURES
Inhalation: Remove to Fresh Air. If not Breathing, Give Artificial Respiration. If Breathing is Difficult, Give
Oxygen. Get Medical Attention.
Ingestion: DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING! Give Large Quantities of Water or Milk if Available. Never Give
Anything by Mouth to an Unconscious Person. Get Medical Attention Immediately.
Skin: In Case of Contact, Immediately Flush Skin with Plenty of Water for at Least 15 Minutes while
Removing Contaminated Clothing and Shoes. Wash Clothing and Shoes Before Reuse.
Eyes: Immediately Flush Eyes with Plenty of Water for at Least 15 Minutes, Lifting Lower and Upper
Eyelids Occasionally. Get Medical Attention Immediately.

SECTION V -FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Fire: Flash Point: 104篎 (40 篊) CC, Auto ignition Temperature: 801 篎 (427篊), Flammable Limits in
Air: lel-4.0; uel-16.0, Flammable Liquid in Vapor!
Explosion: Above Flash Point, Vapor-Air Mixtures are Explosive within Flammable Limits noted above.
Vapors can Flow Along Surfaces to Distant Ignition Source and Flash Back. Contact with Strong
Oxidizers may Cause Fire. Reacts with most metals to produce hydrogen gas, which can form an
Explosive mixture with air.
Fire Extinguishing Media: Dry Chemical, Foam, or Carbon Dioxide. Water Spray may be used to Keep Fire Exposed
Containers Cool.
Special Information: In the Event of Fire, Wear Full Protective Clothing and NIOSH-Approved Self-Contained
Breathing Apparatus with Full Facepiece Operated in the Pressure Demand or Other Positive
Pressure Mode. Water may be used to Flush Spills away from Exposures and to Dilute Spills to
Non-Flammable Mixtures. Water diluted acid can react with metals to form Hydrogen Gas.
SECTION VI - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Ventilate area of Leak or Spill. Wear Appropriate Personal Protective Equipment as Specified
in Section 8. Isolate Hazard Area. Keep Unnecessary and Unprotected Personnel from Entering.
Contain and Recover Liquid when Possible. Absorb with an Inert Material (e.g., Vermiculite, Dry
Sand, Earth), and place in a Chemical Waste Container. Do Not Use Combustible Materials,
such as Saw Dust.
SECTION VII - HANDLING AND STORAGE
Store in a Cool, Dry, Ventilated Storage Area with Acid Resistant Floors and Good Drainage.
Protect from Physical Damage. Keep Out of Direct Sunlight and Away from Heat, Water, and
Incompatible Materials. Do Not Wash out Container and Use it for Other Purposes. Never Use
Hot Water and Never Add Water to Acid when Diluting. Water Added to Acid can Cause
Uncontrolled Boiling and Splashing. Containers of this Material May be Hazardous when Empty
Since they Retain Product Residues (Vapors, Liquid).
SECTION VIII ?EXPOSURE CONTROL/ PERSONAL PROTECTION
Ventilation System: A System of Local and/or General Exhaust is Recommended to Keep Employee Exposures
Below the Airborne Exposure Limits. Local Exhaust Ventilation is Generally Preferred Because
it can Control the Emissions of the Contaminant at its Source, Preventing Dispersion of it into
the General Work Area.
Airborne Exposure Limits: OSHA Permissible Exposure (PEL) 10ppm (Ceiling)-ACGIH (TLV) 10 ppm (STEL/Ceiling)
15ppm
Personal Respirators: If the Exposure Limit is Exceeded, a Full Facepiece Respirator with an Acid Gas Cartridge may
(NIOSH APPROVED) be Worn up to 50 times the Exposure Limit or the Maximum use Concentration Specified by the
Appropriate Regulatory Agency or Respirator Supplier, Whichever is Lowest.
Emergencies Where Exposure Limits are Not Known, use Full-Facepiece Positive-Pressure
Air Supplied Respirator.
Skin Protection: Rubber or Neoprene Gloves and Additional Protection Including Impervious Boots, Apron, or
Coveralls, as Needed in Areas of Unusual Exposure to Prevent Skin Contact.
Eye Protection: Use Chemical Safety Goggles and/or Full Face Shield where Splashing is Possible. Maintain
Eye Wash Fountain and Quick-Drench Facilities in Work Area.

photochemically produced hydroxyl radicals. When released into air, this material is expected to
have a half-life between 10 and 30 days. When released into water, this material is expected to
readily biodegrade. When released into the water, this material is expected to have a half-life
between 1 and 10 days. Standard dilution BOD5/TOD = 58% When released into the soil, this
material is expected to readily biodegrade. This material is not expected to significantly
bioaccumulate. This material has an estimated bioconcentration factor (BCF) of less than 100.
Environmental Toxicity: This material is expected to be slightly toxic to aquatic life. The LC50/96-hour values for fish are
between 10 and 100 mg/l.
