| SECTION 3: Hazards Identification | |
|---|---|
| Emergency Overview: | This compound may slowly hydrolyze in the presence of water to give toxic nitrogen dioxide and corrosive fluorophosphoric acid. The latter can cause fluoride poisoning, symptoms: nausea, vomiting, and weakness |
| Primary Routes of Exposure: | Ingestion, inhalation, skin, eyes. |
| Eye Contact: | Dust is corrosive to the eyes. Exposure can lead to permanent eye damage. |
| Skin Contact: | Corrosive to skin. Contact can lead to redness, pain, blistering, ulceration, and scar formation. |
| Inhalation: | Causes burns to the nose, mucous membranes and respiratory tract. Pulmonary edema may occur. |
| Ingestion: | May cause salivation, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal pain. |
| Acute Health Effects: | Burns to eyes, skin, and respiratory tract. Dust: Fluoride poisoning may cause nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, weakness, coma, respiratory failure and cardiovascular collapse. |
| Chronic Health Effects: | Prolonged exposure to hydrolysable fluorine compounds can cause deterioration of bone and tooth structure. |
| 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 immediately with water. Remove contaminated clothing 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: | not applicable |
| Explosion Limits: | not applicable |
| Extinguishing Medium: | dry chemical, carbon dioxide, water fog, or foam. |
| Special Fire Fighting Procedures: | If this product is 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: | If involved in a fire this material may emit corrosive fluorophosphoric acid. |
| Unusual Fire or Explosion Hazards: | May act as an oxygen source in a fire. May liberate pressurizing gas if strongly heated. |
| SECTION 6: Accidental Release Measures | |
|---|---|
| Spill and Leak Procedures: | Small spills can be absorbed into vermiculite, diatomaceous earth, or other suitable chemical absorbent. Sweep up the material and dispose of properly. |
| SECTION 7: Handling and Storage | |
|---|---|
| Handling and Storage: | Store in a tightly sealed container. Keep away from heat, moisture and direct sunlight. If moisture is present, glass storage bottle may become etched. |
| 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 appropriate chemical resistant gloves and clothing. |
| Ventilation: | Material may form a fine dust. If possible, handle the material in an efficient fume hood. |
| Respirator: | In the absence of adequate ventilation a respirator should be worn. The use of a respirator requires a Respirator Protection Program to be in compliance with 29 CFR 1910.134. |
| Additional Protection: | No additional protection required. |
