| SECTION 3: Hazards Identification | |
|---|---|
| Emergency Overview: | Corrosive to skin and eyes. Material hydrolyzes in contact with moisture releasing toxic and corrosive fumes of hydrogen chloride and aqueous hydrochloric acid. |
| Primary Routes of Exposure: | Ingestion, inhalation, skin, eyes |
| Eye Contact: | Causes burns to the eyes. |
| Skin Contact: | Causes burns to the skin. |
| Inhalation: | Forms hydrogen chloride in the presence of moisture. Inhalation can lead to burning of the respiratory tract. |
| Ingestion: | Ingestion is unlikely due to pungent choking odor. No information is available on the acute physiological effects of ingestion. |
| Acute Health Effects: | Corrosive to skin, eyes and respiratory tract and cause eye, skin burns, dyspnea (breathing difficulty), and pulmonary edema |
| 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: | -5°F |
| Autoignition Temperature: | no data |
| Explosion Limits: | no data |
| Extinguishing Medium: | Water, dry chemical, foam or carbon dioxide. |
| 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. |
| Hazardous Combustion and Decomposion Products: | carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, organic fumes, hydrogen chloride, and a dense white smoke of boron oxide. |
| Unusual Fire or Explosion Hazards: | Flammable liquid. No unusual fire or explosion hazards. |
| SECTION 6: Accidental Release Measures | |
|---|---|
| Spill and Leak Procedures: | Small spills can be mixed with powdered sodium carbonate and swept up. |
| SECTION 7: Handling and Storage | |
|---|---|
| Handling and Storage: | Store material in a tightly sealed bottle away from moisture. If possible, handle material in an efficient fume hood. Prolonged exposure to the atmosphere will 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: | 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: | No additional protection required. |
