| SECTION 3: Hazards Identification | |
|---|---|
| Emergency Overview: | This material is a strong, corrosive fuming acid. The material is extremely corrosive to skin, eyes, mucous membranes and respiratory tract. |
| Primary Routes of Exposure: | Ingestion, inhalation, eyes and skin |
| Eye Contact: | Severe corrosive to the eyes. Exposure can lead to permanent eye damage. |
| Skin Contact: | Severe corrosive to skin. May be adsorbed through skin. Contact can lead to redness, pain, blistering, ulceration, and scar formation. |
| Inhalation: | Material releases corrosive fumes. Severe irritation of the mucous membranes and lungs, including pulmonary edema may occur. |
| Ingestion: | Product is a highly corrosive acid. Ingestion may cause pain, vomiting, burns of mouth, and ulceration of the gastrointestinal tract. |
| Acute Health Effects: | Severe corrosive to eyes, skin, mucous membranes and respiratory tract, causing burns, spasm, inflammation, edema of the larynx and bronchi, and pulmonary edema. Ingestion may be fatal. |
| Chronic Health Effects: | Product contains fluorine which under certain conditions of use, decomposition, or metabolism, may generate fluoride ion, causing, nausea, vomiting, labored breathing, hypocalcaemia, deterioration of bone and tooth structure, kidney and liver damage. |
| NTP: | No |
| IARC: | No |
| OSHA: | No |
| SECTION 4: First Aid Measures | |
|---|---|
| Eye Exposure: | Immediately flush the eyes with copious amounts of water for at least 10-15 minutes. A victim may need assistance in keeping their eye lids open. Get immediate medical attention. |
| Skin Exposure: | Wash the affected area with water. Remove contaminated clothes if necessary. Seek medical assistance if irritation persists. |
| Inhalation: | Remove the victim to fresh air. Closely monitor the victim for signs of respiratory problems, such as difficulty in breathing, coughing, wheezing, or pain. In such cases seek immediate medical assistance. |
| Ingestion: | Seek medical attention immediately. Keep the victim calm. Give the victim water (only if conscious). Induce vomiting only if directed by medical personnel. |
| SECTION 5: Fire Fighting Measures | |
|---|---|
| Flash Point: | not applicable |
| Autoignition Temperature: | none |
| Explosion Limits: | none |
| Extinguishing Medium: | none required |
| Special Fire Fighting Procedures: | If involved in a fire, fire fighters should be equipped with a NIOSH approved positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing. |

| Unusual Fire or Explosion Hazards: | No unusual fire or explosion hazards. |
| SECTION 6: Accidental Release Measures | |
|---|---|
| Spill and Leak Procedures: | Small spills can be neutralized with sodium carbonate, sodium bicarbonate or lime. The solids can then be swept up and properly disposed of. In the case of a large spill, the area should be evacuated. Personnel should only enter the area fitted with a self-contained breathing apparatus. |
| SECTION 7: Handling and Storage | |
|---|---|
| Handling and Storage: | Store in a tightly sealed container in a cool well ventilated area. Material can fume strongly on exposure to air or moisture. Handle the material only in an efficient fume hood. |
| SECTION 8: Exposure Controls and Personal Protection | |
|---|---|
| Eye Protection: | Always wear safety glasses. If pouring or transferring this substance wear a face shield for additional protection. |
| Skin Protection: | Wear protective clothing and gloves. Consult with glove manufacturer to determine the proper type of glove. |
| Ventilation: | This product should only be handled in an efficient fume hood. |
| Respirator: | In the absence of adequate ventilation a respirator should be worn. The use of a respiratory requires a Respirator Protection Program to be in compliance with 29 CFR 1910.134. |
| Additional Protection: | Rubber apron advisable. |
