| SECTION 3: Hazards Identification | |
|---|---|
| Emergency Overview: | Corrosive to skin and eyes. Material hydrolyzes in contact with moisture releasing toxic and corrosive fumes of hydrogen chloride and aqueous hydrochloric acid. |
| Primary Routes of Exposure: | Contact with skin and eyes. Inhalation of dust. |
| Eye Contact: | Corrosive to the eyes. |
| Skin Contact: | Causes burns to the skin. |
| Inhalation: | Forms hydrogen chloride in the presence of moisture. Inhalation can lead to chemical burns of the respiratory tract. |
| Ingestion: | No information is available on the acute physiological effects of ingestion. |
| Acute Health Effects: | 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. |
