........................................................ Emergency Overview .......................................................
NFPA Ratings (Scale 0-4); Health = 3; Fire = 1; Reactivity = 2; W
Liquid: clear colorless. Odor: biting
Corrosive possibly combustible liquid and vapor--Keep away from ignition sources. Do
NOT use straight streams of water--Hydrolyzes readily producing hydrochloric acid
that in contact with metals can generate flammable/explosive hydrogen gas.
Contact with water produces a large evolution of heat and possible violent reaction. Under
fire conditions corrosive hydrogen fluoride may be evolved. Sufficient dilution of water
may reduce the acidity of the solution.
The properties of this material have not been fully investigated. Use due caution in
handling and use of this material.
Corrosive--Cause burns to all body tissues. Permanent eye damage possible.
Lachrymator--vapors will cause severe tearing. May be fatal if swallowed or inhaled.
Emits toxic fumes under fire conditions--potential products: carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide,
hydrogen chloride, hydrogen fluoride, phosgene
Standard chemical handling precautions: Avoid ingestion or breathing mists. Avoid contact
with eyes, skin, and clothing. Wash thoroughly after handling.
Target organs: skin, eyes, mucous membranes, respiratory tract, cardiac, mutagen, lungs,
fetotoxin, GI tract
See Sections 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, and 10.

Other Hazard Information
This compound has not fully been tested for toxicological, irritation, or similar tendencies.
Primary Route(s) of Entry: Inhalation, Ingestion, Eye, Skin
Corrosive hydrochloric acid or hydrofluoric acid (strong acids) may be formed on contact with the water in
body tissues and they are very destructive to skin, eye, and mucous membrane tissues.
Eye: Lachrymator. Can cause burns. May cause severe irritation, itching, severe tearing, redness,

corneal inflammation, blurred vision, and lens damage. Permanent eye damage possible.
Skin: Can cause burns with redness and possible blistering. May cause severe irritation with itchiness
and possible dryness, cracking and dermatitis due to the loss of natural skin oils.
Inhalation: Can cause burns or severe irritation to mucous membranes, respiratory tract, and lung damage.
May be harmful or fatal if inhaled in large quantities due to spasm, inflammation and edema of
the larynx and bronchi, chemical pneumonitis, and pulmonary edema (fluid retention and swelling
in lungs) . Prolonged or repeated inhalation may cause tooth decay.
Ingestion: Can cause burns. May be toxic or fatal if ingested due to mucous membrane corrosion and other
tissue in the esophagus and GI tract. Symptoms include sore throat, pain, nausea, vomiting, and
diarrhea.
Acute: See above route.
Chronic: See above route.
Symptoms: See specific route above.
Pre-existing conditions that may be aggravated: skin, eye, liver, respiratory, GI tract
See Section 11 for additional toxicological data.
SECTION 4 ......................................................... FIRST AID MEASURES ............................................................................
Eye contact: Immediately flush eyes with copious amounts of water or eyewash solution for at least 15
minutes; lift eyelids occasionally. If irritation persists, consult physician.
Skin contact: Immediately remove contaminated clothing and shoes, then wash skin with soap and copious
amounts of water. If irritation persists, consult physician.
Inhalation: Remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration and keep person warm and at
rest. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen; consult physician.
Ingestion: Wash out mouth with water provided person is conscious; give large amounts of water or milk.
Repeat if vomiting occurs. Ingested corrosive should be diluted approximately 100 times to
render it harmless to tissues (Dreisbach & Robertson; Handbook of Poisoning; 12th Ed.);
consult physician; DO NOT induce vomiting without first consulting physician. If vomiting
occurs, keep head lower than hips to help prevent aspiration. Maintain airway and respiration.
Treat symptomatically and supportively.
Wash contaminated clothing before reuse. Discard contaminated footware.
Physician note: Symptomatic and supportive care. No specific antidote. Treatment based on physician
judgment in response to reactions of the patient.

Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards
Corrosive possibly combustible liquid and vapor--hydrolyzes on contact with water to produce hydrochloric acid,
that in contact with metals can generate flammable/explosive hydrogen gas.
Contact with water produces a large evolution of heat and possible violent reaction. Sufficient dilution of water
may reduce the acidity of the solution.
Under fire conditions, corrosive hydrogen fluoride and hydrogen chloride may be evolved.
Containers may build pressure or rupture when heated. Container explosion may occur under fire conditions.
Water spray may be used to cool fire-exposed containers.
Emits toxic fumes under fire conditions.
Hazardous Combustion or Decomposition Products
carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, hydrogen chloride, hydrogen fluoride, phosgene
SECTION 6 ............................................. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES ................................................................
Eliminate all ignition sources. Use spark proof tools.
Evacuate unnecessary people from area. Isolate spilled material.
Ventilate area.
Material is a lachrymator--will cause severe tearing. Use full-face respirator or safety goggles that seal to the
face, thus enclosing the eyes to protect them from vapors.
Corrosive--Wear protective clothing to prevent contact with skin (lab coat, and gloves).
Wear NIOSH/MSHA approved respirator for organic/acid gas, dust, and mists to prevent inhalation of mists.
Contain and recover material when possible.
Use chemically compatible spill pillows, or similar adsorbent material. They will help blanket corrosive vapors.
Sweep up, seal in appropriate hazardous waste container, and hold for proper waste disposal.
Note: Neutralize waste to pH 6-8 prior to disposal, if it possible to do so safely.
Avoid raising contaminated dust.
Wash spill site after material pickup is complete.
Standard chemical precautions: Keep out of water supplies and sewers.
SECTION 7 ..................................................... HANDLING AND STORAGE.........................................................................
General Handling Measures
See Section 8 Below.
General Storage Measures
Store in a cool, dry place with adequate ventilation, in a storage area suitable for flammable corrosives.
Special Storage Instructions
Do not store in metal containers.
Empty containers retain product residue, (liquid/vapor), and can be dangerous.
Special Handling Instructions
Use appropriate precautions for handling flammable and corrosive liquids.
Wash thoroughly after handling.
Immediately remove contaminated clothing, as material is very corrosive to body tissues.
Protect eyes from vapors as lachrymator and will cause severe tearing,
