First Aid

First Aid:SKIN: FLUSH THOROUGHLY WITH WATER FOR 15 MINUTES WHILE
REMOVING CONTAMINATED CLOTHING. GET MEDICAL ATTENTION. INGESTION:
IF SWALLOWED, DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. IF CONSCIOUS, DRINK LARGE
QUANTITIES OF M ILK OR WATER. GET IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION.
NEVER GIVE ANYTHING BY MOUTH TO AN UNCONSCIOUS PERSON. EYE: FLUSH
THOROUGHLY WITH WATER FOR 15 MINUTES LIFTING UPPER AND LOWER
EYELIDS OCCASIONALLY. GET IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION. INHALTION:
REMOVE TO FRESH AIR. IF NOT BREATHING, GIVE ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION.
IF BREATHING IS DIFFICULT, GIVE OXYGEN. GET MEDICAL ATTENTION.

Fire Fighting

Flash Point:NON FLAMMABLE
Extinguishing Media:DRY CHEMICALS
Fire Fighting Procedures:FIRE INVOLVING SMALL AMOUNT OF COMBUSTIBLES
MAY BE SMOTHERED BY DRY CHEMICAL. USE WATER ON COMBUSTIBLES BURNING
IN VACINITY OF ACID BUT USE CARE AS WATER APPLIED TO ACID RESULTS
IN SEVERE GERERATION O F HEAT & MAY CAUSE BOILING OR SPLATTERING.
WEAR A NIOSH/MSHA APPROVED SCBA 7 FULL PROTECTIVE CLOTHING.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:SULFURIC ACID WILL NOT BURN BUT IS
CAPABLE OF IGNITING FNELY DIVIDED COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS ON CONTACT.
MAY REACT VIOLENTLY WITH ORGANIC MATERIALS AND WATER WITH THE
EVOLUTION OF HEAT.

Accidental Release

Spill Release Procedures:WEAR PROTECTIVE SAFETY EQUIPMENT AND CLOTHING.
DILUTE SPILL CAUTIOUSLY WITH 5 0R 6 VOLUMES OF WATER, NEUTRALIZE
GRADUALLY WITH SODA ASH OR LIME. DO NOT ALLOW UNNEUTRALIZED ACID TO
GET INTO SEWERS CONT AINING SULFIDES BECAUSE OF DANGER OF EVOLVING
HYDROGEN SULFIDE GAS.
Neutralizing Agent:NEUTRALIZE GRADUALLY WITH SODA ASH OR LIME.

Handling

Handling and Storage Precautions:KEEP CONTAINER TIGHTLY CLOSED WHEN NOT
IN USE. ABSORBS MOISTURE FROM THE AIR. STORE IN A COOL, DRY, WELL
VENTILATED PLACE AWAY FROM INCOMPATIBLE MATERIALS.
Other Precautions:DON'T WEAR CONTACT LENSES WHEN WORKING WITH
CHEMICALS. NEVER ADD WATER TO ACID SOLUTION. ALWAYS ADD THIS ACID
SOLUTION TO WATER. ADDITION OF WATER MAY RELEASE HEAT WHICH COULD
RESULT IN SPLATTERING. A LWAYS ADD SLOWLY IN SMALL AMOUNTS. NEVER
USE HOT WATER. REMOVE/WASH CONTAMINATED CLOTHING. KEEP OUT OF
REACH OF CHILDREN
