Title Compound 13826-86-3 100 2.5mg/m3 (as F) 2.5mg/m3 (as F)
SECTION 3: Hazards Identification
Emergency Overview: Corrosive to skin eyes and mucous membranes. May hydrolyze in water to give corrosive acidic fluoroboric acid. Boron compounds cause depression of circulation, vomiting, diarrhea, shock, and coma.
Primary Routes of Exposure: Ingestion, inhalation, skin and eyes.
Eye Contact: Causes burns to the eyes and blindness
Skin Contact: Causes severe irritation and burns to the skin
Inhalation: (As dust) May cause burning to the respiratory tract. Nitrogen dioxide can cause tachycardia, chest pain, and pulmonary edema.
Ingestion: If ingested, severe burns to the gastrointestinal tract may occur.
Acute Health Effects: Burns to eyes and skin. Causes difficulty in breathing, lung congestion, nausea, dizziness, breathlessness and convulsions.
Chronic Health Effects: Prolonged exposure to hydrolysable fluorine compounds can cause 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: no data
Explosion Limits: no data
Extinguishing Medium: dry chemical, carbon dioxide, water, or foam.
Special Fire Fighting Procedures: 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 form toxic boron oxide dust.
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 should be covered with calcium carbonate or limestone, and swept up, or flushed with water and sponged up.
SECTION 7: Handling and Storage
Handling and Storage: Store in a tightly sealed container. Keep away from heat moisture and direct sunlight.
SECTION 8: Exposure Controls and Personal Protection
Eye Protection: Always wear approved safety glasses and face shield when handling this material in the laboratory.
Skin Protection: Wear protective clothing and gloves. Consult with glove manufacturer to determine the proper type of glove.
Ventilation: Material may form a fine dust. 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 Respirator Protection Program to be in compliance with 29 CFR 1910.134.
Additional Protection: No additional protection required.
