SECTION 3: Hazards Identification
Emergency Overview:	Material hydrolyzes in contact with moisture releasing toxic and corrosive hydrofluoric acid. Causes deep, slow healing, painful burns. Poison by ingestion.
Primary Routes of Exposure:	Ingestion, inhalation, skin, eyes
Eye Contact:	May cause serious eye damage. Effects may not immediately appear.
Skin Contact:	Contact with the skin can lead to formation of dark blotches (silver staining) and deep slow healing, painful burns.
Inhalation:	Dust or hydrofluoric acid fumes may cause chemical burns to the respiratory tract.
Ingestion:	May cause salivation, nausea, vomiting, bloody diarrhea, painful abdominal burns and cramps, dizziness, weakness and convulsions.
Acute Health Effects:	Fluoride poisoning may cause nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, weakness, coma, and respiratory paralysis. Hydrofluoric acid may cause eye and skin burns and pulmonary edema.
Chronic Health Effects:	Prolonged exposure to soluble fluorine compounds can cause deterioration of bone and tooth structure, and kidney damage. Long term exposure to silver and silver salts can lead to the condition known as argyria - a general gray pigmentation of the skin
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. Apply calcium gluconate jelly or water soluble calcium salts as antidote. Seek medical assistance.
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:	none required
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 corrosive hydrofluoric 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 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:	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.
