LD50 LC50 Mixture:NO DATA PROVIDED BY MANUFACTURER
Routes of Entry: Inhalation:YES Skin:YES Ingestion:YES
Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:NO IARC:NO OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:RAPIDLY CAUSES SEVERE BURNS TO SKIN,
EYE AND ALL BODY TISSUE. INGESTION MAY CAUSE BURNS TO MOUTH,
ESOPHAGUS AND STOMACH. INHALATION OF VAPOR/MIST MAY CAUSE
RESPIRATORY IRRITATION. LONG TERM OVEREXPOSU RE TO VAPOR/MIST MAY
RESULT IN DAMAGE TO TEETH.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:NOT CARCINOGENIC.
Effects of Overexposure:INHALATION-ACID MIST OR VAPORS MAY CAUSE DAMAGE
TO THE UPPER RESPIRATORY TRACT AND EVEN THE LUNG TISSUE PROPER
WHICH COULD PRODUCE DELAYED PULMONARY REACTION, DEPENDING UPON
SEVERITY OF EXPOSURE.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:NONE SPECIFIED BY MANUFACTURER.

First Aid:EYES-IMMEDIATELY FLUSH EYES WITH LARGE AMOUNTS OF WATER FOR
AT LEAST 15 MINUTES. SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION. SKIN-WASH CONTAMINATED
AREAS WITH PLENTY OF WATER. SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION.
INHALATION-REMOVE PE RSON IMMEDIATELY. PERFORM CPR OR GIVE OXYGEN
FOR BREATHING. INGESTION-DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. GIVE LARGE
QUANTITIES OF WATER. IF VOMITING OCCURS, KEEP AIRWAY CLEAR. SEEK
IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION.

Flash Point:NON-FLAMMABLE
Extinguishing Media:FOR FIRES IN THE AREA, USE APPROVED EXTINGUISHING
MEDIA SUCH AS WATER, CARBON DIOXIDE OR DRY CHEMICAL.
Fire Fighting Procedures:WEAR FULL ACID PROTECTIVE CLOTHING WHEN
POSSIBILITY OF ACID CONTACT EXIST. ADDITION OF WATER TO THE ACID
CAUSES VIOLENT GENERATION OF HEAT, POSSIBLE SPLATTERING
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:NONFLAMMABLE, BUT MAY CAUSE IGNITION BY
CONTACT WITH COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS. DILUTE ACID REACTS WITH MOST
METALS GIVING OFF FLAMMABLE HYDROGEN GAS.

Spill Release Procedures:SPILL AREA SHOULD BE ISOLATED TO AVOID
EMPLOYEE EXPOSURE. DIKE LARGE SPILLS. FLUSH AWAY BY FLOODING WITH
WATER APPLIED QUICKLY TO ENTIRE AREA. USE SODA ASH OR LIME TO
NEUTRALIZE REMAINING ACIDITY.
Neutralizing Agent:SODA ASH OR LIME.

Handling and Storage Precautions:WEAR FULL PROTECTIVE CLOTHING. REMOVE
SOURCES OF IGNITION. BEFORE REMOVING THE CONTAINER, BE SURE THE
CLOSURE IS SECURELY FASTENED.
Other Precautions:STORE IN A COOL DRY PLACE. KEEP SEPERATE FROM
ALKALIS, METAL EXPLOSIVES AND EASILY IGNITABLE MATERIALS.

Respiratory Protection:SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS OR MASK WITH
CANISTER FOR SULFUR DIOXIDE.
Ventilation:LOCAL EXHAUST: AS REQUIRED TO CONTROL VAPORS OR MISTS.
Protective Gloves:USE RUBBER OR PLASTIC GLOVES.
Eye Protection:CHEMICAL SAFETY GOGGLES.
Other Protective Equipment:RUBBER GAUNTLETS, RUBBER APRON, HARD HATS OR
RUBBER HOOD, FULL RUBBER ACID SUIT AND RUBBER SHOES.
Work Hygienic Practices:WASH THOROUGHLY AFTER HANDLING.
