Potential Health Effects
Information on the human health effects from exposure to this substance is limited.
Inhalation: Inhalation of vapors or mists causes severe irritation and possible destruction to tissues of the
mucous membranes and upper respiratory tract.
Ingestion: No information found, but the strongly alkaline nature of the substance is expected to
produce burns of the mouth, throat, and stomach.
Skin Contact: Causes severe irritation and possibly burns to the skin. May be absorbed through the
skin.
Eye Contact: Vapors may irritate the eyes. Splashes can causes severe irritation and possibly eye burns.
Chronic Exposure: Long time exposure can cause dermatitis and eczema.
Aggravation of Pre-existing Conditions: No information found.
============================================================================
4. First Aid Measures
============================================================================
Inhalation: Remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give
oxygen. Call a physician.
Ingestion: If swallowed, DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. Give large quantities of water. Never give
anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical attention immediately.
Skin Contact: Immediately flush skin with plenty of soap and water for at least 15 minutes while
removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Get medical attention. Wash clothing before reuse. Thoroughly
clean shoes before reuse.
Eye Contact: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, lifting lower and
upper eyelids occasionally. Get medical attention immediately.
============================================================================
5. Fire Fighting Measures
============================================================================
Fire: Flash point: 75C (167F) OC Combustible Liquid and Vapor!
Explosion: Above the flash point, explosive vapor-air mixtures may be formed.
Fire Extinguishing Media: Water spray, dry chemical, alcohol foam, or carbon dioxide.
Special Information: In the event of a fire, wear full protective clothing and NIOSH-approved self-
contained breathing apparatus with full facepiece operated in the pressure demand or other positive
pressure mode.
============================================================================
6. Accidental Release Measures
============================================================================
Ventilate area of leak or spill. Remove all sources of ignition. Wear appropriate personal protective
equipment as specified in Section 8. Isolate hazard area. Keep unnecessary and unprotected personnel from
entering.
Contain and recover liquid when possible. Use non-sparking tools and equipment. Collect liquid in an
appropriate container or absorb with an inert material (e. g., vermiculite, dry sand, earth), and place in a
chemical waste container. Do not use combustible materials, such as saw dust. Do not flush to sewer!

============================================================================
7. Handling and Storage
============================================================================
Protect against physical damage. Outside or detached storage is preferred.
Inside storage should be in a standard flammable liquids storage room or cabinet. Separate from
oxidizing materials. Storage and use areas should be No Smoking areas. Containers of this material may be
hazardous when empty since they retain product residues (vapors, liquid); observe all warnings and
precautions listed for the product.
============================================================================
8. Exposure Controls/Personal Protection
============================================================================
Airborne Exposure Limits: None established.
Ventilation System: A system of local and/or general exhaust is recommended to keep employee
exposures as low as possible. Local exhaust ventilation is generally preferred because it can control the
emissions of the contaminant at its source, preventing dispersion of it into the general work area. Please
refer to the ACGIH document, Industrial Ventilation, A Manual of Recommended Practices, most recent
edition, for details.
Personal Respirators (NIOSH Approved): For conditions of use where exposure to the substance is
apparent, consult an industrial hygienist. For emergencies, or instances where the exposure levels are not
known, use a full-facepiece positive-pressure, air-supplied respirator. WARNING: Air purifying
respirators do not protect workers in oxygen-deficient atmospheres.
Skin Protection: Wear impervious protective clothing, including boots, gloves, lab coat, apron or
overalls, as appropriate, to prevent skin contact.
Eye Protection: Use chemical safety goggles and/or a full face shield where splashing is possible.
Maintain eye wash fountain and quick-drench facilities in work area.

12. Ecological Information
============================================================================
Environmental Fate: When released into the soil, this material is expected to readily biodegrade. When
released into water, this material is expected to readily biodegrade. This material has a log octanol-water
partition coefficient of less than 3.0. Volatilization, adsorption and bioconcentration are not expected to be
important environmental fate processes. When released into the air, this material is expected to be readily
degraded by reaction with photochemically produced hydroxyl radicals. When released into the air, this
material is expected to have a half-life of less than 1 day. When released into the air, this material is not
expected to be subject to wet deposition.
Environmental Toxicity: The LC50/96-hour values for fish are over 100 mg/l. This material is not
expected to be toxic to aquatic life.
============================================================================
13. Disposal Considerations
============================================================================
Whatever cannot be saved for recovery or recycling should be managed in an appropriate and approved
waste facility. Although not a listed RCRA hazardous waste, this material may exhibit one or more
characteristics of a hazardous waste and require appropriate analysis to determine specific disposal
requirements. Processing, use or contamination of this product may change the waste management options.
State and local disposal regulations may differ from federal disposal regulations. Dispose of container and
unused contents in accordance with federal, state and local requirements.
