Risk Phrases: R49, R8, R25, R34, R43
Section 4 ?First aid measures:
General information: Completely remove any clothing soiled by product.
After eye contact: Object is to flush material out immediately, then seek medical
attention. Immediately flush eyes with large amounts of water for at least 15 minutes
forcibly holding lids apart to ensure complete irrigation of all eye and lid tissue.

After skin contact: Immediately wash contaminated areas with plenty of soap and water
for at least 15 minutes. Remove contaminated clothing and footwear and wash before
reuse. Discard footwear which cannot be decontaminated. Seek medical attention if
irritation develops.
After inhalation: Remove to fresh air. If breathing is difficult, have trained person
administer oxygen. If respiration stops, give mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. Get medical
attention.
After ingestion: Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. If swallowed,
do not induce vomiting. Give large quantities of water. If available, give several glasses
of milk. Follow with milk of magnesia. If vomiting occurs spontaneously, keep airway
clear and give more water. Seek medical attention immediately.
Section 5 - Fire fighting measures:
Flash Point ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ None
Extinguishing Media ~~~~~~~~~ Use Sand or Carbon Dioxide (CO2)
Special Fire Fighting Procedures - Wear protective clothing and NIOSH/OSHA approved
positive pressure self contained breathing apparatus in fire conditions.
Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards ?Avoid contact with alkalis, strong reducing or
oxidizing agents.
Caution: Toxic phosphide may be given off in fire or other very high temperature
conditions.
Section 6 ?Accidental release measures:
If material is spilled: Evacuate nonessential personnel. Use sawdust, vermiculite, fuller's
earth or other absorbent material to soak up spill then neutralize with sodium bicarbonate.
Then flush area with water. Do not use strong alkalis.
Waste disposal method: Filter to remove aluminum and discard as solid chemical waste.
Treat remaining liquid with sodium metabisulfate, then precipitate trivalent chromium by
neutralizing with alkali, such as lime.
Waste must be disposed of in accordance with federal, state, and local environmental
control regulations.
Section 7 ?Handling and storage:
Storage temperature: protect from freezing.
Handling and storage precautions:
Store in area where it will not come into contact with strong alkalis or oxidizing agents as
hydrogen gas may be produced causing fire or explosion hazard.
Other precautions:
Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Employee education and training in the safe use and
handling of this product are required under the OSHA hazard communication standard.

Section 8 ?Exposure Controls and Personal Protection
Required work/hygiene procedures: precautions must be taken so that persons handling
this product do not breathe vapors or have it contact the eyes or skin. Protection must be
afforded against exposure to spray mist.
Eye protection: safety glasses, chemical splash goggles or face shield.
Contact lenses should not be worn.
Skin protection requirements: Chemical resistant gloves. Aprons and clothing with
maximum body coverage.
Respirator requirements: use NIOSH/OSHA approved respirator when spraying. #9910
respirator mfg. By 3M or equivalent is suggested. Observe OSHA regulations for
respirator use (29 CFR 1910.134).
Ventilation requirements:
Exhaust ventilation sufficient to remove spray mist.
Additional protective measures:
Safety showers and eyewash stations should be available. Educate and train employees
in safe use of product.

Section 10 ?Stability and reactivity
Stability: Stable under normal conditions.
Conditions to avoid: Contact with alkalis or strong reducing or oxidizing agents.
Hazardous polymerization: Will not occur.
Incompatibilities: Contact with alkalis or strong reducing or oxidizing agents.
Section 11 ?Toxicological information
Effects of acute and chronic overexposure: that of chromic acid.
Acute inhalation may irritate and ulcerate membranes.
Chronic inhalation: as a result of prolonged or repeated inhalation of mist may cause
ulceration of nasal septum. Epidemiological studies indicate that long term exposure to
high levels of mist is associated with increases in respiratory tract cancer in man. Thus
far, epidemiological studies have not demonstrated any increased risk of lung cancer at
levels below the current TLV for CrO3.
Acute ingestion can result in severe injury or death.
Page 5 of 7
Chronic ingestion: none found.
Acute skin contact may require medical attention. May cause ulcers on skin.
Chronic skin contact: prolonged or repeated skin contact, especially with broken skin,
may cause severe irritation, ulcers and sores.
Acute eye contact: irritating and corrosive to eyes, may cause burns or loss of sight.
Permanent damage, while uncommon, can occur.
Chronic eye contact: prolonged or repeated contact may cause conjunctivitis.
Toxicology Data
Chromic Acid - NTP and IARC have determined that there is sufficient evidence for the
carcinogenicity "lung tumors" of hexavalent chromium compounds both in humans and
experimental animals. However, the hexavalent chromium compounds responsible "for
human carcinogenicity" cannot be specified.
Note to Physician.........
Massive overexposure to chromic acid could lead to kidney failure and death. Death has
been avoided in several such cases through the use of early renal dialysis. It has been
reported that there is little value from chelating agents, however, ascorbic acid
administered intravenously is an effective antidote in preventing renal failure. Skin
ulcers may be treated by removal from exposure, daily cleaning and debridement and
application of antibiotic cream and dressing.
