STANNIC CHLORIDE REACTS WITH AMBIENT HUMIDITY TO LIBERATE A

Fraction By Weight: 100% (COMB)

LD50 LC50 Mixture:NONE PROVIDED BY MFR.
Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:NO IARC:NO OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:HCL GAS (& THE ACID MIST) IS CORROSIVE
TO ALL TISSUE. PROLONGED INHALATION OF GAS CONCENTRATIONS ABOVE
THE TLV CAN DAMAGE THE TEETH & IRRITATE NASAL PASSAGES. INHALATION
OF HIGHER CONC. (> 50 PPM) FO R A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME CAN CAUSE
CHOKING & CHOUGHING, & PRODUCE SEVERE IRRITATION & DAMAGE TO THE
MUCOUS MEMBRANES OF THE UPPER RESPIRATORY TRACT. THE
NIOSH-RECOMMENDED IDLH LEVEL IS 100 PPM. HCI CA N CAUSE SEVERE
IRRITATION & TISSUE BURNS.(ANHYDROUS HCI IS MORE DANGEROUS THAN THE
ACID MIST, SINCE IT HAS AN ADDITIONAL DEHYDRATING EFFECT ON
TISSUES). IF DEEPLY INHALED, PULMONARY EDEMA MAY OCCUR. E YE, SKIN
& MUCOUS MEMBRANE IRRITATION.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:NONE PROVIDED BY MFR.
Effects of Overexposure:THE EMITTED TIN COMPOUND IS ALSO AN IRRITANT TO
EYES, SKIN & MUICOUS MEMBRANES, DUE TO ITS ACIDITY
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:NONE PROVIDED BY MFR.

First Aid:EYE: FLUSH IMMEDIATELY WITH RUNNING WATER FOR AT LEAST 15
MINS, INCLUDING UNDER EYELIDS. CONTACT A PHYSICIAN! SKIN: FLUSH
AFFECTED AREAS WITH RUNNING WATER. GET MEDICAL HELP IN CASE OF
LARGE AREA CONT ACT OR IF IRRITATION PERSISTS. INHALATION: REMOVE
VICTIM TO FRESH AIR. RESTORE &/OR SUPPORT BREATHING, AS NECESSARY.
PROVIDE OXYGEN THERAPY FOR PERSISTENT COUGHING OR IF BREATHING IS
DIFFICULT. KEEP V ICTIM WARM & AT REST. GET MEDICAL HELP.

Extinguishing Media:SUITABLE FOR SURROUNDING FIRE.
Fire Fighting Procedures:FIRE FIGHTERS SHOULD WEAR SCBA UNITS TO
PROTECT AGAINST POSSIBLE TOXIC DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:FIRES ENCOMPASSING THE TUBES WILL EMIT
TOXIC FUMES OF CHLORIDES.

Spill Release Procedures:DOES NOT APPLY
Neutralizing Agent:SOAK USED TUBES IN WATER & NEUTRALIZE THE WATER WITH
SODIUM CARBONATE OR EQUIVALENT ALKALINE SUBSTANCE.

Handling and Storage Precautions:STORE IN THE ORIGIONAL CONTAINER IN A
COOL DRY PLACE. PROTECT AGAINST LIGHT, HEAT & PHYSICAL DAMAGE
Other Precautions:AVOID EYE & SKIN CONTACT WITH SMOKE. DO NOT BREATH
SMOKE. USE ONLY AS DIRECTED. USE ONLY IN WELL VENTILATED AREAS.
WASH HANDS PRIOR TO EATING, DRINKING, SMOKING OR APPLYING
COSMETICS. AVOID CUTS FROM BROKEN ENDS OF GLASS TUBES.

Respiratory Protection:NO RESPIRATORY PROTECTION IS REQUIRED DURING
NORMAL USE AS AN HVAC AIR FLOW INDICATOR.
Ventilation:LOCAL VENTILATION IS ADEQUATE
Protective Gloves:SAFETY GLOVES ARE NOT NECESSARY FOR NORMAL USE
Eye Protection:SAFETY GLASSES WITH SIDE SHIELDS SHOULD BE WORK TO
MINIMIZE EYE CONTACT
Other Protective Equipment:NONE PROVIDED BY MFR.
Work Hygienic Practices:NONE PROVIDED BY MFR.
Supplemental Safety and Health
DO NOT USE FOR RESPIRATOR FIT TESTING. NIOSH REPORT HETA 93-040-2315
REPORTS HIGH LEVELS OF HCI CONCENTRATION WHEN USED FOR RESPIRATOR
FIT TESTING INSIDE ENCLOSED HOODS. USE ONLY AS DIRECTED IN WELL V
ENTILATED AREAS.

Stability Indicator/Materials to Avoid:YES
ALAKALINES, METAL OXIDES & METALS
Stability Condition to Avoid:HCI IS A STABLE COMPOUND. IT DOES NOT
UNDERGO HAZARDOUS POLYMERIZATION, HOWEVER HCI CAN CATALYZE SOME
POLYMERIZATIONS OF OTHER COMPOUNDS
Hazardous Decomposition Products:WHEN HEATED TO DECOMPOSITION, THE
SMOKE TUBES WILL EMIT CHLORIDE FUME.
Conditions to Avoid Polymerization:WILL NOT OCCUR

Waste Disposal Methods:SOAK USED TUBES IN WATER & NEUTRALIZE THE WATER
WITH SODIUM CARBONATE OR EQUIVALENT ALKALINE SUBSTANCE. DISPOSE
TUBES VIA LANDFILL. CONSULT LOCAL AUTHORITIES TO ASSURE COMPLIANCE
WITH LOCAL, STATE & F EDERAL REGULATIONS FOR SMALL SCALE DISPOSAL
OF TIN COMPOUNDS.
