irritation. Can cause severe eye, skin and respiratory tract burns. May cause
central nervous system effects, such as headache, nausea, dizziness,
confusion, breathing difficulties. Severe cases of overexposure can result in
respiratory failure. Inhalation of vapors and/or aerosols in high concentration
may cause irritation of respiratory system.

Skin contact : Causes skin burns. If absorbed through the skin, may cause central nervous
system effects, such as headache, nausea, dizziness, confusion, breathing
difficulties.
Ingestion : If ingested, severe burns of the mouth and throat, as well as a danger of
perforation of the oesophagus and the stomach. May cause central nervous
system effects, such as headache, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain,
dizziness, confusion, breathing difficulties. Severe cases of overexposure can
result in respiratory failure. May be fatal if swallowed. Toxic if swallowed.
Chronic Health Hazard : Prolonged contact may result in chemical burns and permanent damage.
Repeated and/or prolonged exposures may result in: Muscular dysfunction.

Condition Eye disease
Skin disorders and Allergies.
Neurological disorders
Target Organs : Respiratory system.
Skin.
Eyes.
Central nervous system.
Symptoms : Repeated and/or prolonged exposure to low concentrations of vapors and/or
aerosols may cause: Sore throat. Irritating to eyes and respiratory system.
Breathing difficulties. Symptoms may be delayed.
4. FIRST AID MEASURES
General advice : Prompt medical attention is required in all cases of overexposure. The potential
for hydrogen fluoride formation exists with every exposure, therefore its toxicity
must also be considered.
Eye contact : Hold eyelids apart, initiate and maintain gentle and continuous irrigation until
the patient receives medical care. If medical care is not promptly available,
continue to irrigate for one hour. Seek medical treatment immediately. Trained
personnel should administer 1% calcium gluconate solution by continuous drip.
Skin contact : Immediately remove contaminated clothing, and any extraneous chemical, if
possible to do so without delay. Initiate and maintain gentle and continuous
irrigation until the patient receives medical care. If medical care is not promptly
available, continue to irrigate for one hour. Cover wound with sterile dressing.
With gloved hand apply 2.5% calcium gluconate gel to the burn area.
Alternative treatment is to soak the affected areas in an iced 0.13% water
solution (1:750) of Zephiran?chloride (benzalkonium chloride solution, NF).
Use ice cubes, not shaved ice, to prevent frostbite. If soaking is impractical,
soaks or compresses may be used. (Do not us Zephiran?for burns of the
eye.) If immersion is impractical, soaked compresses of the same solution
should be applied to the area. Immersion or compresses must be used

continuously for two hours. Burns covering an area greater than fifty-two square
centimeters (8 square inches) require immediate treatment by a medical doctor.
Ingestion : If a person vomits when lying on his back, place him in the recovery position.
Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Do not induce
vomiting.
Inhalation : If breathing has stopped or is labored, give assisted respirations.
Supplemental oxygen may be indicated. If the heart has stopped, trained
personnel should begin cardiopulmonary resuscitation immediately. A physician
should be consulted for all exposures. Mouth to mouth resuscitation is not
recommended. In case of shortness of breath, give oxygen. As soon as
possible give 2.5% to 3% calcium gluconate solution by nebulizer.
Notes to physician
Treatment : If pain persists after above topical treatments, it may be necessary to inject 5%
aqueous calcium gluconate beneath, around and into the burn area. This will
more likely be necessary in the treatment of extensive burns or small burns
where treatment has been delayed. Do not use local anesthetics. Resolution of
pain is means to determine effective medical treatment. The patient should be
observed for clinical symptoms of hypocalcemia following ingestion or
inhalation or following extensive burns. Serum calcium, potassium and
magnesium determinations must be performed immediately and periodically to
monitor for hypocalcemia and electrolyte imbalance. EKGs should be done
immediately and periodically to monitor for arrhythmias, hypocalcemia and
hyperkalemia. If additional information is needed call the Air Products'
Emergency Number (Section 1) or consult the Air Products' Safetygram 29
"Treatment Protocol for Hydrofluoric Acid Burns."
5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES
Suitable extinguishing media : For smaller fires, use dry chemical or carbon dioxide, do not use water. For
large fires, flood fire area with water from as far as possible, using a protective
barrier and appropriate personal protective equipment.
Extinguishing media which : Water.
must not be used for safety Alcohol-resistant foam.
reasons
Specific hazards : Incomplete combustion may form carbon monoxide. Fire or intense heat may
cause violent rupture of packages. Flash back possible over considerable
distance. May form explosive mixtures in air. Downwind personnel must be
evacuated. Burning produces obnoxious and toxic fumes. Reacts violently with
water.
Special protective equipment : Avoid contact with the skin. A face shield should be worn.
for fire-fighters
Further information : Do not allow run-off from fire fighting to enter drains or water courses.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Personal precautions : Use self-contained breathing apparatus and chemically protective clothing.
Wear suitable protective clothing, gloves and eye/face protection. Remove all
sources of ignition.
Environmental precautions : Shut off or remove all ignition sources. Construct a dike to prevent spreading.
Prevent spilled product from entering streams or drinking water supplies. Local

authorities should be advised if significant spillages cannot be contained.
Methods for cleaning up : Approach suspected leak areas with caution. Contact Air Products' Emergency
Response Center for advice. Absorb with inert absorbent materials such as:
Dry sand. Vermiculite. Activated charcoal. Polypropylene.
Additional advice : Open enclosed spaces to outside atmosphere. Prevent from entering sewers,
basements and workpits, or any place where its accumulation can be
dangerous. Protect from water.
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.
Storage
To avoid ignition of vapors by static electricity discharge, all metal parts of the equipment must be grounded.
Keep containers tightly closed in a dry, cool and well-ventilated place. Keep away from heat and sources of
ignition. Keep in a dry, cool place. Keep away from Oxidizers. Store in an area suitable for water reactive
materials. Minimize exposure to air. Exposure may cause material to degrade. Store under a nitrogen
atmosphere.
Technical measures/Precautions
Keep away from open flames, hot surfaces and sources of ignition.
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
