3 - Hazards Identification
SPECIAL INDICATION OF HAZARDS TO HUMANS AND THE ENVIRONMENT
Harmful if swallowed. Contact with acids liberates toxic gas.
Causes burns. May cause sensitization by inhalation.
4 - First Aid Measures
AFTER INHALATION
If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing give
artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen.
AFTER SKIN CONTACT
In case of skin contact, flush with copious amounts of water for
at least 15 minutes. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes.
Call a physician.
AFTER EYE CONTACT
In case of contact with eyes, flush with copious amounts of
water for at least 15 minutes. Assure adequate flushing by
separating the eyelids with fingers. Call a physician.
AFTER INGESTION
If swallowed, wash out mouth with water provided person is
conscious. Call a physician immediately. Do not induce vomiting.
5 - Fire Fighting Measures
SPECIAL RISKS

11 - Toxicological Information
SENSITIZATION
Respiratory: May cause allergic respiratory reaction.
SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF EXPOSURE
Absorption into the body leads to the formation of methemoglobin
which in sufficient concentration causes cyanosis. Onset may be
delayed 2 to 4 hours or longer. Symptoms of exposure may include
burning sensation, coughing, wheezing, laryngitis, shortness of
breath, headache, nausea, and vomiting. Repeated exposure may
cause asthma. To the best of our knowledge, the chemical,
physical, and toxicological properties have not been thoroughly
investigated.
ROUTE OF EXPOSURE
Skin Contact: Causes burns.
Skin Absorption: May be harmful if absorbed through the skin.
Eye Contact: Causes burns.
Inhalation: Material is extremely destructive to the tissue of
the mucous membranes and upper respiratory tract. May be harmful
if inhaled.
Ingestion: Harmful if swallowed.
