Hazards

LD50 LC50 Mixture:ORAL RAT LD50: 3.3G/KG
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:SKIN: CAN CAUSE CHEMICAL BURN. EYE:
CAMCAUSE CHEMICAL BURN. DAMAGE IRREVERSIBLE. VAPORS ARE SEVERELY
IRRITATING. INHALTION: CAUSES SEVERE IRRITATION OF NASAL PASSAGES,
THROAT AND LUNGS. CAN CAUSE PULM ONARY EDEMA. INGESTION: CAUSES
SEVERE IRRITATION OF AND DAMAGE TO MOUTH, THROAT AND STOMACH. MAY
BE FATAL.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:NO DATA PROVIDED BY MANUFACTURER
Effects of Overexposure:SKIN: CAN CAUSE CHEMICAL BURN. EYE: CAMCAUSE
CHEMICAL BURN. DAMAGE IRREVERSIBLE. VAPORS ARE SEVERELY IRRITATING.
INHALTION: CAUSES SEVERE IRRITATION OF NASAL PASSAGES, THROAT AND
LUNGS. CAN CAUSE PULM ONARY EDEMA. INGESTION: CAUSES SEVERE
IRRITATION OF AND DAMAGE TO MOUTH, THROAT AND STOMACH. MAY BE
FATAL.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:NO DATA PROVIDED BY MANUFACTURER

First Aid

First Aid:SKIN: IMMEDIATELY FLUSH EXPOSED AREA WITH WATER, THEN WATER
CONTAINING SODIUM BICARBONATE. IF IRRITATION PERSISTS, CONTACT
PHYSICIAN. EYE: FLUSH THOROUGHLY WITH WATER FOR AT LEAST 15
MINUTES, LIFTING UPPER AND LOWER EYELIDS OCCASIONALLY. GET
IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION. INHALTION: REMOVE TO FRESH AIR. IF
BREATHING HAS STOPPED, GIVE ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION, THEN OXYGEN IF
NEEDED. CONTACT A PHYSICIAN IMMEDIATELY. INGESTION: DO NOT INDUCE
VOMITING. DRINK LARGE QUANTITIES OF WATER; FOLLOW WITH MILK OF
MAGNESIA, BEATEN EGGS OR VEGETABLE OIL. GET PROMPT MEDICAL
ATTENTION. NEVER GIVE ANYTHING BY MOUTH TO AN UNCONSCIOUS PERSON.

Fire Fighting

Flash Point Method:CC
Flash Point:=42.8C, 109.F
Autoignition Temp:=484.C, 903.2F
Lower Limits:5.4
Upper Limits:16.0
Extinguishing Media:CARBON DIOXIDE, DRY CHEMICAL, ALCOHOL FOAM. LARGE
SPILLS: USE WATER SPRAY OR ALCOHOL FOAM.
Fire Fighting Procedures:WATER IN A STRAIGHT HOSE STREAM WILL SCATTER
AND SPREAD FIRE AND SHOULD NOT BE USED. USE WATER SPRAY TO COOL
CONTAINER. WEAR A NIOSH/MSHA APPROVED SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING
APPARATUS AND FULL PROTECTIV E CLOTHING. GIVES OFF FLAMMABLE VAPOR
ABOVE ITS FLASH POINT, 109F. VAPOR FORMS EXPLOSIVE MIXTURE WITH
AIR.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:VAPORS ARE HEAVIER THAN AIR AND MAY
TRAVEL ALONG THE GROUND OR BE MOVED BY VENTILATION AND IGNITED BY
HEAT OR SPARK. ACID REACTS WITH MOST METALS TO RELEASE HYDROGEN GAS
WHICH CAN FORM EXPLOSIVE MIXTU RES WITH AIR. MODERATE FIRE HAZARD,
WHEN EXPOSED TO HEAT AND FLAME; CAN REACT VIGOROUSLY WITH OXIDIZING
MATERIALS.

Accidental Release

Spill Release Procedures:ELIMINATE ALL SOURCES OF IGNITION. AVOID EYE
AND SKIN CONTACT. TO NEUTRALIZE ODOR OR ACIDITY. COVER CONTAMINATED
SURFACE WITH SODA ASH OR SODIUM BICARBONATE. PLACE LEAKING
CONTAINERS IN A WELL VENTILA TED AREA WITH SPILL CONTAMINANT. IF
FIRE POTENTIAL EXISTS, BLANKET SPILL WITH ALCOHOL-TYPE AQUEOUS
FILM-FORMING FOAM. COVER SPILL WITH ABSORBENT MATEIAL AND PLACE IN
SUITABLE CONTAINER FOR DISPOSAL.
Neutralizing Agent:COVER CONTAMINATED SURFACE WITH SODA ASH OR SODIUM
BICARBONATE.

Handling

Handling and Storage Precautions:STORE IN WELL VENTILATED AREA AWAY
FROM HEAT, SPARKS AND OPEN FLAME. KEEP IN TIGHTLY CLOSED CONTAINER
AT TEMPERATURE ABOVE 17C(63F). STORE SEPARATES FROM OXIDIZING
MATERIALS AND COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS. REMOVE CAP SLOWLY.
Other Precautions:AVOID CONTACT WITH EYES, SKIN AND CLOTHING. AVOID
BREATHING VAPOR. USE ADEQUATE VENTIALTION. WASH THOROUGHLY AFTER
HANDLING. REMOVE AND WASH CONTAMINATED CLOTHING. PROTECT AGAINST
PHYSICAL DAMAGE. IF FROZEN. THAW BY MOVING CLOSED CONTAINER TO
WARM AREA. KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.

Exposure Controls

Respiratory Protection:FOR LABORATORY USE WORK IN VENTILATION HOOD OR
WEAR NIOSH/MSHA APPROVED RESPIRATOR.
Ventilation:LOCAL EXHAUST/MECHANICAL(GENERAL): RECOMMENDED
Protective Gloves:RUBBER
Eye Protection:EYE SAFETY GOGGLES, FACE SHIELD
Other Protective Equipment:GOGGLES AND SHIELD, APRON, VENTED HOOD,
PROPER GLOVES, FIRE EXTINGUISHER, EYE WASH STATION.
Work Hygienic Practices:AVOID CONTACT WITH EYES, SKIN & CLOTHING. AVOID
BREATHING VAPOR. USE ADEQUATE VENTILATION. WASH THOROUGHLY AFTER
HANDLING. REMOVE & WASH CONTAMINATED CLOTHES.
