Fraction By Weight: 100.0%

Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:No IARC:No OSHA:No
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:

First Aid: INHALATION: If adverse effects occur, remove to
uncontaminated area. Give artificial respiration if not breathing.
If breathing is difficult, oxygen should be administered by
qualified personnel. Get immediate medical attention. SKIN CONTACT:
Remove contaminated clothing, jewelry, and shoes immediately. Wipe
all material off skin before washing to prevent burns. Wash with
soap or mild detergent and large amounts of water until no evidence
of chemical remains (at least 15-20 minutes). If burns occur, cover
affected area securely with sterile, dry, loose-fitting dressing.
Get medical attention, if needed. EYE CONTACT: Wipe all material
off skin around eyes before washing. Wash eyes immediately with
large amounts of water or normal saline, occasionally lifting upper
and lower lids, until no evidence of chemical remains. Get medical
attention immediately. INGESTION: Contact local poison control
center or physician immediately. Never make an unconscious person
vomit or drink fluids. Give large amounts of water or milk. Allow
vomiting to occur. When vomiting occurs, keep head lower than hips
to help prevent aspiration. If person is unconscious, turn head to
side. Get medical attention immediately. NOTE TO PHYSICIAN: For
inhalation, consider oxygen. Avoid gastric lavage or emesis.

Flash Point:not flammable
Extinguishing Media:carbon dioxide, regular dry chemical Large fires:
Flood with water. Apply water from a protected location or from a
safe distance.
Fire Fighting Procedures:Do not get water inside container. Do not
scatter spilled material with high-pressure water streams. Move
container from fire area if it can be done without risk. Cool
containers with water spray until well after the fire is out. Stay
away from the ends of tanks.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:Negligible fire hazard.

Spill Release Procedures:Avoid contact with combustible materials. Do
not touch spilled material. Do not get water inside container. Stop
leak if possible without personal risk. Reduce vapors with water
spray. Do not get water directly on material. Only personnel
trained for the hazards of this material should perform clean up
and disposal. Dike for later disposal. Do not use water. Keep
unnecessary people away, isolate hazard area and deny entry.
Ventilate closed spaces before entering. Notify Local Emergency
Planning Committee and State Emergency Response Commission for
release greater than or equal to RQ (U.S. SARA Section 304). If
release occurs in the U.S. and is reportable under CERCLA Section
103, notify the National Response Center at (800)424-8802 (USA) or
(202)426-2675 (USA).
Neutralizing Agent:

Handling and Storage Precautions:Store and handle in accordance with
all current regulations and standards. Protect from physical
damage. Store outside or in a detached building. Store in a cool,
dry place. Store in a tightly closed container. Keep separated from
incompatible substances. Notify State Emergency Response Commission
for storage or use at amounts greater than or equal to the TPQ
(U.S. EPA SARA Section 302). SARA Section 303 requires facilities
storing a material with a TPQ to participate in local emergency
response planning (U.S. EPA 40 CFR 355.30).
Other Precautions:

Respiratory Protection: TITANIUM TETRACHLORIDE: 500 ug/m3 AIHA
recommended TWA
Ventilation:Provide local exhaust or process enclosure ventilation
system. Ensure compliance with applicable exposure limits.
Protective Gloves:Wear appropriate chemical resistant gloves.
Eye Protection:Wear splash resistant safety goggles with a faceshield.
Provide an emergency eye wash fountain and quick drench shower in
the immediate work area.
Other Protective Equipment:Wear appropriate chemical resistant
clothing.
