SECTION 3- HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Causes burns. Toxic in contact with skin and if swallowed.Hygroscopic (absorbs moisture
from the air).Light sensitive.Corrosive.Air sensitive.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Causes eye burns. May result in corneal injury. May cause conjunctivitis and keratitis.
Skin:
Harmful if absorbed through the skin. May cause dermatitis. Causes severe skin irritation
and burns. Allergic reactions have been reported. When it comes in contact with the skin,
it may not produce any burning sensation immediately.
Ingestion:
Harmful if swallowed. May cause severe gastrointestinal tract irritation with nausea,
vomiting and possible burns. May cause liver and kidney damage. May cause central
nervous system depression,convulsions, coma, and possible death due to respiratory
paralysis.
Inhalation:
Causes severe irritation of upper respiratory tract with coughing, burns, breathing
difficulty, and possible coma. May cause effects similar to those described for ingestion.

Inhalation of appreciable amounts of vapor under normal conditions is unlikely because
of the material's low vapor pressure. Hazardous concentrations may develop at elevated
temperatures.
Chronic:
Prolonged or repeated skin contact may cause dermatitis. May cause liver and kidney
damage. May cause digestive tract disturbances. Repeated exposure may cause central
nervous system damage.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SECTION 4- FIRST AID MEASURES
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Eyes:
In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes.
Get medical aid immediately.
Skin:
In case of contact, immediately flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes
while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Get medical aid immediately. Wash
clothing before reuse.
Ingestion:
If swallowed, do NOT induce vomiting. Get medical aid immediately. If victim is fully
conscious, give a cupful of water. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious
person.
Inhalation:
If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is
difficult, give oxygen. Get medical aid.
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. Use water spray to keep
fire-exposed containers cool. Combustible liquid and vapor. Vapors are heavier than air
and may travel to a source of ignition and flash back. Vapors can spread along the ground
and collect in low or confined areas.
Extinguishing Media:
Use water spray, dry chemical, carbon dioxide, or appropriate foam.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SECTION 6- ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
General Information:
Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated in Section 8.
Spills/Leaks:
Absorb spill with inert material (e.g. vermiculite, sand or earth), then place in suitable
container. Remove all sources of ignition. Provide ventilation. Approach spill from
upwind. U.S. regulations require reporting spills and releases to soil, water and air in
excess of reportable quantities. Control runoff and isolate discharged material for
proper disposal.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SECTION 7 - HANDLING and STORAGE
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Handling:
Wash thoroughly after handling. Remove contaminated clothing and wash before reuse.

Do not get in eyes, on skin, or on clothing. Do not ingest or inhale. Discard contaminated
shoes. Use only with adequate ventilation. Keep away from heat and flame.
Storage:
Keep away from sources of ignition. Store in a tightly closed container. Store in a cool,
dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible substances. Corrosives area. Store
protected from light and air. Separate from oxidizing materials.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 general or local exhaust ventilation to keep airborne
concentrations below the permissible exposure limits.
Personal Protective Equipment
Eyes:
Wear chemical goggles.
Skin:
Wear appropriate protective gloves to prevent skin exposure.
Clothing:
Wear appropriate protective clothing to prevent skin exposure.
Respirators:
Follow the OSHA respirator regulations found in 29 CFR 1910.134 or European Standard
EN 149. Always use a NIOSH or European Standard EN 149 approved respirator when
necessary.
