| SECTION 3: Hazards Identification | |
|---|---|
| Emergency Overview: | Harmful by inhalation, in contact with skin and if swallowed. Corrosive to skin and eyes. |
| Primary Routes of Exposure: | Ingestion, inhalation, skin, eyes |
| Eye Contact: | Causes burns to the eyes. |
| Skin Contact: | Causes burns to the skin. |
| Inhalation: | Harmful by inhalation. Inhalation of vapors will lead to burning of the respiratory tract. |
| Ingestion: | Harmful if swallowed. Caustic burns to the gastrointestinal system may occur. |
| Acute Health Effects: | Harmful by inhalation, in contact with skin and if swallowed. 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: | not applicable |
| Autoignition Temperature: | none |
| Explosion Limits: | none |
| Extinguishing Medium: | Carbon dioxide, sand, dry chemical powder. |
| 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: | 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 neutralized with powdered sodium bicarbonate, lime, or calcium carbonate and swept up. Large spills in areas not adequately ventilated will require an evacuation of site. Emergency response teams will require self-contained breathing apparatus. |
| 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 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 in form of fine dust and 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. |
