3 - Hazards Identification
SPECIAL INDICATION OF HAZARDS TO HUMANS AND THE ENVIRONMENT
Contact with combustible material may cause fire. Harmful if
swallowed. Contact with acids liberates toxic gas. Irritating to
eyes and respiratory system. Very toxic to aquatic organisms, may
cause long-term adverse effects in the aquatic environment.
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 EYE CONTACT
Assure adequate flushing of the eyes by separating the eyelids
with fingers.
5 - Fire Fighting Measures
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA
Suitable: Carbon dioxide, dry chemical powder, or appropriate
foam.
SPECIAL RISKS
Specific Hazard(s): Emits toxic fumes under fire conditions.
Contact with other material may cause fire.
SPECIAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT FOR FIREFIGHTERS
Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and protective clothing
to prevent contact with skin and eyes.
6 - Accidental Release Measures
PERSONAL PRECAUTION PROCEDURES TO BE FOLLOWED IN CASE OF LEAK OR SPILL
Evacuate area.
PROCEDURE(S) OF PERSONAL PRECAUTION(S)
Wear self-contained breathing apparatus, rubber boots, and heavy
rubber gloves.
METHODS FOR CLEANING UP
Sweep up, place in a bag and hold for waste disposal. Avoid
raising dust.
7 - Handling and Storage
HANDLING
Directions for Safe Handling: Avoid inhalation. Do not get in
eyes, on skin, on clothing. Avoid prolonged or repeated exposure.
STORAGE
Conditions of Storage: Keep tightly closed. Keep away from
combustible materials, heat, sparks, and open flame. Store in a
cool dry place.
SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS: Moisture sensitive.
8 - Exposure Controls / Personal Protection
ENGINEERING CONTROLS
Use only in a chemical fume hood. Safety shower and eye bath.
GENERAL HYGIENE MEASURES
Wash thoroughly after handling.
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
Special Protective Measures: Wear appropriate government approved
respirator, chemical-resistant gloves, safety goggles, other
protective clothing.
