SECTION 3: Hazards Identification
Emergency Overview: Pyrophoric material. Ignites spontaneously on contact with air causing thermal burns. Burning solid/liquid clings to clothing and skin.
Primary Routes of Exposure: Inhalation, skin, eyes
Eye Contact: Dust causes severe thermal burns to eyes. Irritating fumes.
Skin Contact: Solid ignites. Hard to extinguish burning gel on the skin and clothing.
Inhalation: White fumes from burning solid irritating to the tissues of the nose, mucous membranes, and respiratory tract.
Ingestion: Ingestion of burning solid is unlikely.
Acute Health Effects: Solid is pyrophoric and bursts into flames causing severe thermal burns. Dense white smoke is irritating to skin, eyes and respiratory tract.
Chronic Health Effects: No information 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 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: -1°F
Autoignition Temperature: pyrophoric
Explosion Limits: no data
Extinguishing Medium: carbon dioxide, dry powder 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 irritating fumes of indium oxide.
Unusual Fire or Explosion Hazards: Pyrophoric material. Material will ignite spontaneously in contact with air.
SECTION 6: Accidental Release Measures
Spill and Leak Procedures: The material will ignite spontaneously in air. Burning material may release toxic fumes. Leave the area unless fitted with a self-contained breathing apparatus. Smother fire with dry powder. Do not use water.
SECTION 7: Handling and Storage
Handling and Storage: Handle and store the material under an inert atmosphere of nitrogen or argon. Prepare for the possibility of fire in transfer lines and containers after use. Keep away from heat.
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: 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: Wear a full face shield, lab apron and suitable gloves.
