| SECTION 3: Hazards Identification | |
|---|---|
| Emergency Overview: | Corrosive to the upper respiratory tract, eyes and skin. Solid slowly hydrolyzes in contact with moisture releasing corrosive hydrogen chloride fumes. |
| Primary Routes of Exposure: | Ingestion, inhalation, skin, eyes. |
| Eye Contact: | Dust and vapors cause burns to the eyes and blindness. |
| Skin Contact: | Corrosive to skin. Contact can lead to redness, pain, blistering, ulceration and scar formation. |
| Inhalation: | Inhalation of dust results in caustic burns to the respiratory tract, chemical pneumonitis and pulmonary edema. |
| Ingestion: | Ingestion is unlikely due to pungent choking odor. Causes burns to the gastrointestinal system. |
| Acute Health Effects: | Inhalation of large amounts of dust would be extremely destructive to tissue of the mucous membranes and upper respiratory tract, skin and eyes. |
| Chronic Health Effects: | No information available on long-term chronic effects. |
| 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: | no data |
| Autoignition Temperature: | 419°F (THF) |
| Explosion Limits: | 1.8%-11.8% (THF) |
| Extinguishing Medium: | carbon dioxide, dry chemical powder or appropriate foam. |
| Special Fire Fighting Procedures: | If this product is involved in a fire, firefighters should be equipped with NIOSH approved positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus. |
| Hazardous Combustion and Decomposion Products: | If involved in a fire this material may emit toxic chlorine and hydrochloric acid fumes. |
| Unusual Fire or Explosion Hazards: | No unusual fire or explosion hazards. |
| SECTION 6: Accidental Release Measures | |
|---|---|
| Spill and Leak Procedures: | Small spills can be mixed with powdered sodium bicarbonate, lime, or calcium carbonate and swept up. Spillage in areas not adequately ventilated may require an evacuation of area. Emergency response teams will require self-contained breathing apparatus. |
| SECTION 7: Handling and Storage | |
|---|---|
| Handling and Storage: | Store material in a tightly sealed container away from moisture. If possible, handle the material in an efficient fume hood. Prolonged exposure to the atmosphere may lead to degradation of the product. |
| SECTION 8: Exposure Controls and Personal Protection | |
|---|---|
| Eye Protection: | Always wear approved safety glasses when handling a chemical substance in the laboratory. |
| Skin Protection: | Wear protective clothing and gloves. Consult with glove manufacturer to determine the proper type of glove. |
| Ventilation: | If possible, handle the material in an efficient fume hood. |
| Respirator: | If ventilation is not available a respirator should be worn. The use of respirators requires a Respiratory Protection Program to be in compliance with 29 CFR 1910.134. |
| Additional Protection: | No additional protection required. |
