fire is out. Water or foam may cause frothing which can be violent and endanger the life of the fire fighter, especially if
sprayed into containers of hot liquid.
UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS: Reacts with most metals to release hydrogen gas which can form explosive mixtures
with air.
V HEALTH HAZARD DATA
PRIMARY ROUTES OF EXPOSURE: Skin, eyes, inhalation.
CARCINOGEN INFORMATION: Not listed (OSHA, IARC, NTP).
MEDICAL CONDITIONS AGGRAVATED BY OVEREXPOSURE: Persons with pre-existing skin disorders or eye problems, or
impaired kidney or respiratory function may be more susceptible to the effects of this product.
EFFECTS OF OVER EXPOSURE: Causes severe damage to eyes and even blindness very rapidly. Causes burns, possible deep
ulceration to skin. Breathing of mist or dust can cause damage to nasal and respiratory passages. Swallowing results in
severe damage to mucous membranes and deep tissue; can result in death on penetration to vital areas. Bronchitis,
pulmonary edema and chemical pneumonitis may occur from inhalation of vapors or mists. Long-term exposure to vapors or
mists may result in damage to the teeth.
EYE CONTACT: Liquid or concentrated vapors can cause eye irritation, severe burns and permanent damage, including blindness,
even after a short exposure to small amounts.
SKIN CONTACT: Vapors, mists and liquid are extremely corrosive to the skin. Vapors will severely irritate the skin and liquid and
mists will severely burn the skin. Prolonged liquid contact will burn or destroy surrounding tissue and death may accompany
burns, which extend over large portions of the body.
INHALATION: Vapors and mists are extremely corrosive to the nose, throat, and mucous membranes. Bronchitis, pulmonary edema,
and chemical pneumonitis may occur. Irritation, coughing, chest pain, and difficulty in breathing may occur with brief
exposure while prolonged exposure may result in more severe irritation and tissue damage. Breathing high concentrations
may result in death.
INGESTION: Toxic! May cause burns, nausea, severe gastroenteritis and vomiting, shock, and convulsions. Vapors, mists, and liquid
are extremely corrosive to the mouth and throat., Oxalic acid causes damage to the kidneys. Swallowing large quantities can
cause death.
EMERGENCY AND FIRST AID PROCEDURES:
EYE CONTACT: Rinse eyes with large quantities of water for at least 30 minutes, holding eyelids apart to ensure flushing of the entire
eye surface. Get medical attention immediately.
SKIN CONTACT: Remove contaminated clothing and flush exposed area with large quantities of water for at least 30 minutes.
Launder contaminated clothing before reuse. Discard contaminated shoes and contaminated leather articles. Get immediate
medical attention.
INHALATION: Remove person to fresh air. If breathing stops, administer artificial respiration, preferably mouth-to-mouth. If breathing
is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical attention immediately.
INGESTION: If conscious, give large quantities of water or milk. Do NOT induce vomiting. If vomiting occurs spontaneously, keep
head below hips to prevent breathing vomit into lungs. Get medical attention immediately. Do not give anything by mouth to
an unconscious or convulsing person.
VI REACTIVITY DATA
STABILITY: Stable.
CONDITIONS TO AVOID: Avoid contact with metals which may liberate flammable or explosive hydrogen gas. Hydrogen hazard is
minimal in outside applications; however, care must be taken in interior applications or any area with poor ventilation. Contact
with strong bases (alkali), can cause violent reaction generating large amounts of heat. Avoid heat, sparks, or open flame.
INCOMPATIBILITY (MATERIALS TO AVOID): Alkaline materials, metals, oxidizing materials, cyanides, sulfides, combustible
materials, organic peroxides, strong reducing agents, carbides, chlorates, nitrates, picrates, fulminates and reducing
materials.
HAZARDOUS COMBUSTION OR DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS: Carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, hydrogen when in contact with
metal. Oxides of phosphorus. May release sulfur dioxide, hydrogen cyanide, or hydrogen sulfide. Toxic phosphorous oxide
fumes can be released from phosphoric acid if combustion occurs. Toxic formic acid can be released from oxalic acid at
combustion.

VII SPILL OR LEAK PROCEDURES
SPILL, LEAK, WASTE DISPOSAL PROCEDURES: Provide adequate ventilation, eliminate sources of ignition. Evacuate immediate
area where concentrated fumes are present. Cleanup personnel must wear proper protective equipment. Completely contain
spilled material with dikes, etc., and prevent runoff into ground and surface waters or into sewers.
Beware of spattering and fumes during neutralization. Spills and leaks should be neutralized by pouring dry soda ash or lime
over the affected area to absorb as much liquid as possible. Add water as necessary and test pH to determine if neutral. Add
neutralizing agent as needed. Neutralized material, both liquid and solid, must be recovered for proper disposal.
WASTE DISPOSAL METHODS: Recovered solids or liquids may be sent to a licensed reclaimer or disposed of in a permitted waste
management facility. Neutralized liquid materials are suitable for discharge to a sanitary sewer with permission of the
receiving facility. Typical pH range of 6-10 is generally considered appropriate for discharge. Consult federal, state, and/or
local authorities for approved procedure. For additional information regarding handling and disposal of rinse-water, please
review Technical Bulletin 200-CW "Controlled Handling of Cleaning Wastewater".
NOTE: Empty containers can have residues, gases and mists and are subject to proper waste disposal. Rinse completely
with water to remove all residues and dispose in a sanitary landfill.
VIII SPECIAL PROTECTION INFORMATION
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: Chemicals in this product have low vapor pressures and pose minor respiratory hazards if used and
applied properly. Mists generated during application or fumes generated by application to heated surfaces cause increased
potential for hazardous respiratory system exposures. Do not atomize during application. For vapor or mist concentrations
3
which exceed or are likely to exceed 1/mg/m Threshold Limit Value (TLV), NIOSH recommends use of a supplied air
respirator operating in a continuous feed mode or a full-face chemical cartridge respirator with acid gas cartridges and high-
efficiency particulate pre-filters. Other respirators may be appropriate for specific use and exposure conditions. Follow all
applicable respirator use, standards or regulations.
VENTILATION: Provide sufficient general and/or local exhaust ventilation to maintain exposure below the TLV. Applications involving
product exposure to metals require use of explosion proof equipment.
PROTECTIVE CLOTHING: Wear acid-resistant neoprene or PVC rain suit and rubber boots with protective pants outside. Depending
on product dilution and application methods, full body splash protection may not be required. The employer has some latitude
in weighing risks (e.g. chemical exposure vs. heat exhaustion) provided that worker protection decisions are made consistent
with the objectives of the OSH Act and its General Duty provisions.
PROTECTIVE GLOVES: Rubber gloves with gauntlets.
EYE PROTECTION: Chemical splash goggles and/or full-face shield. Do no wear contact lenses because they may contribute to the
severity of an eye injury.
OTHER PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT: An eyewash and safety shower should be nearby and ready to use.
IX SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS
WORK PRACTICES: Proper work practices and planning should be utilized to avoid contact with workers, passersby, and non-
masonry surfaces. Brush on or apply at the lowest practical pressure. Do not atomize during application. Beware of wind
drift. Wind-drift hazards may be diminished by pre-rinsing with low-pressure water before pressure washing. Always follow
published application rates. Divert pedestrian traffic around work areas. Application equipment, scaffolding, swing stages
and support systems must be constructed of compatible materials. Consult with manufacturers for recommendations. See
the Product Data sheet and label for specific precautions to be taken during use. Smoking, eating and drinking should be
prohibited during the use of this product. Wash hands before breaks and at the end of a shift.
PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN IN HANDLING AND STORAGE: Use proper safety equipment (see section VIII) when handling.
Store in a cool, well-ventilated area. Separate from oxidizing agents, nitric acid, alkalis, chlorates, sulfides, etc. (see section
VI). Store in proper acid-resistant containers constructed of HDPE, polypropylene or other compatible materials.
Addition of acidic cleaner to water releases heat which can result in violent boiling and spattering. Always add cleaner to
water slowly and in small amounts. Never use hot water. Never add water to acidic cleaners.
Containers of this material may be hazardous when emptied, since emptied containers retain product residues (vapor, liquid,
and/or solid). Do not cut, grind, weld, or drill on or near this container. All hazard precautions given in this data sheet must
be observed.
OTHER PRECAUTIONS: Do not get in eyes, on skin or on clothing. Can cause severe injury or blindness. Avoid breathing mist or
vapor. Provide ventilation sufficient to limit employee exposure below OSHA permissible limit. Do not take internally. Wash
thoroughly after handling. Empty containers should be treated as if they were full.
