**** SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION ****
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Causes burns.Corrosive.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Causes eye burns.
Skin:
Causes skin burns.
Ingestion:
Causes gastrointestinal
tract burns. May cause liver and kidney
damage. May cause
circulatory system failure. May cause perforation
of the digestive tract.
Inhalation:
May cause irritation of the
respiratory tract with burning pain in
the nose and throat,
coughing, wheezing, shortness of breath and
pulmonary edema. May cause
chemical bronchitis with coughing and
difficulty in breathing.
Chronic:
No information found.
Chronic inhalation and ingestion may cause
effects similar to those of
acute inhalation and ingestion.
**** SECTION 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES ****
Eyes:
Flush eyes with plenty of
water for at least 15 minutes,
occasionally lifting the
upper and lower eyelids. Get medical aid
immediately. Do NOT allow
victim to rub or keep eyes closed.
Skin:
Get medical aid
immediately. Rinse area with large amounts of water
for at least 15 minutes.
Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Do
NOT use soap.
Ingestion:
Do NOT induce vomiting. If
victim is conscious and alert, give 2-4
cupfuls of milk or water.
Never give anything by mouth to an
unconscious person. Get
medical aid immediately.
Inhalation:
Get medical aid
immediately. Remove from exposure to fresh air
immediately. If breathing
is difficult, give oxygen. Do NOT use
mouth-to-mouth
resuscitation. If breathing has ceased apply
artificial respiration
using oxygen and a suitable mechanical device
such as a bag and a mask.
Notes to Physician:
**** SECTION 5 - FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES ****
General Information:
As in any fire, wear a
self-contained breathing apparatus in
pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH
(approved or equivalent), and full
protective gear. Wear
appropriate protective clothing to prevent
contact with skin and eyes.
Wear a self-contained breathing apparatus
(SCBA) to prevent contact
with thermal decomposition products.
Substance is nonflammable.
Extinguishing Media:
Substance is
noncombustible; use agent most appropriate to
extinguish surrounding
fire.
**** SECTION 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES ****
General Information: Use proper personal protective
equipment as indicated
in Section 8.
Spills/Leaks:
Sweep up or absorb
material, then place into a suitable clean, dry,
closed container for
disposal. Avoid generating dusty conditions.
Provide ventilation.
**** SECTION 7 - HANDLING and STORAGE ****
Handling:
Wash thoroughly after
handling. Remove contaminated clothing and
wash before reuse. Use with
adequate ventilation. Minimize dust
generation and
accumulation. Do not get in eyes, on skin, or on
clothing. Keep container
tightly closed. Do not ingest or inhale.
Storage:
Store in a tightly closed
container. Store in a cool, dry,
well-ventilated area away
from incompatible substances.
**** SECTION 8 - EXPOSURE
CONTROLS, PERSONAL PROTECTION ****
Engineering Controls:
Use adequate general or
local exhaust ventilation to keep airborne
concentrations below the
permissible exposure limits.
Personal Protective Equipment
Eyes:
Wear appropriate protective eyeglasses or chemical
safety goggles as described by OSHA's eye and face
protection regulations in 29 CFR 1910.133 or European
Standard EN166.
Skin:
Wear appropriate protective gloves to prevent skin
exposure.
Clothing:
Wear appropriate protective clothing to prevent skin
