III. HAZARDOUS IDENTIFICATION
Appearance: Purple-colored crystals. Odorless.
Eye: Flakes may cause slight eye irritation. Dust may cause severe eye irritation with corneal
injury. Effects may be slow to heal. When dissolving, the heat produced may cause more intense
effects as well as thermal burns.
Skin: Short single exposure not likely to cause significant skin irritation. Prolonged or repeated
exposure may cause skin irritation, even a burn. May cause more severe response if skin is damp
or if material is confined to skin. May cause more severe response if skin is abraded. When
dissolving, the heat produced may cause more intense effects as well as thermal burns. A single
prolonged exposure is not likely to result in the material being absorbed through skin in harmful
amounts.
Ingestion: Single dose oral toxicity is considered to be low. Small amounts swallowed incidental
to normal handling operations are not likely to cause injury; swallowing amounts larger than that
may cause injury. Ingestion may cause gastrointestinal irritation or ulceration.
IV. FIRST AID
Eyes: Irrigate with flowing water immediately and continuously for 15 minutes. Consult medical personnel.
