**** SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
****
EMERGENCY
OVERVIEW
Causes burns. Contact with combustible material may
cause
fire.Corrosive.Mutagen.Light
sensitive.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Contact with liquid is
corrosive to the eyes and causes severe
burns. Contact with the eyes may cause corneal
damage.
Skin:
Causes severe skin irritation and possible burns. May
cause
discoloration, erythema,
swelling, and the formation of papules and
vesicles.
Ingestion:
Causes gastrointestinal irritation with nausea,
vomiting and
diarrhea. Causes
gastrointestinal tract burns. May cause vascular
collapse and damage. May cause damage to the red blood
cells. May
cause difficulty in
swallowing, stomach distension, possible cerebral
swelling and death. Ingestion may result in irritation of
the
esophagus, bleeding of the
stomach and ulcer formation.
Inhalation:
Causes chemical burns
to the respiratory tract. May cause ulceration
of nasal tissue, insomnia, nervous tremors with numb
extremities,
chemical pneumonia,
unconsciousness, and death. At high
concentrations, respiratory effects may include acute lung damage
and
delayed pulmonary
edema.
Chronic:
Prolonged or repeated skin contact may cause dermatitis.
Laboratory
experiments have
resulted in mutagenic effects. Repeated contact may
cause corneal damage.
**** SECTION 4 - FIRST AID
MEASURES ****
Eyes:
Get medical aid immediately. Do NOT allow victim to rub or
keep eyes
closed. Extensive
irrigation with water is required (at least 30
minutes).
Skin:
Get medical aid immediately. Immediately flush skin with
plenty of
soap and water for at
least 15 minutes while removing contaminated
clothing and shoes. Wash clothing before reuse. Destroy
contaminated
shoes.
Ingestion:
Do NOT induce vomiting. If victim is conscious and alert,
give 2-4
cupfuls of milk or water.
Never give anything by mouth to an
unconscious person. Get medical aid immediately. Wash mouth out
with
water. Vomiting may occur
spontaneously. If vomiting occurs and the
victim is conscious, give water to further dilute the
chemical.
Inhalation:
Get medical aid immediately. Remove from exposure to fresh
air
immediately. If breathing is
difficult, give oxygen. Do NOT use
mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. If breathing has ceased
apply
artificial respiration using
oxygen and a suitable mechanical device
such as a bag and a mask.
Notes to
Physician:
Treat symptomatically
and supportively. Attempts at evacuating the
stomach via emesis induction or gastric lavage should be avoided.
In
the event of severe
distension of the stomach or esophagus due to General Information:
As in
any fire, wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in
pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and
full
protective gear. Water runoff
can cause environmental damage. Dike
and collect water used to fight fire. Strong oxidizer. Contact
with
combustible materials may
cause a fire. During a fire, irritating and
highly toxic gases may be generated by thermal decomposition
or
combustion. Use water spray to
keep fire-exposed containers cool.
Substance is noncombustible. Use water with caution and in
flooding
amounts. Vapors may be
heavier than air. They can spread along the
ground and collect in low or confined areas. Some oxidizers
may react
explosively with
hydrocarbons(fuel). May decompose explosively when
heated or involved in a fire. May accelerate burning if
involved in a
fire.
Extinguishing Media:
Use water only! Do NOT use carbon dioxide. Do NOT use
dry chemical.
Do NOT get water
inside containers. Contact professional
fire-fighters immediately. Cool containers with flooding
quantities
of water until well
after fire is out. For large fires, flood fire
area with large quantities of water, while knocking down vapors
with
water
fog.
****
SECTION 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES ****
General Information: Use proper personal protective equipment as
indicated
in Section 8.
Spills/Leaks:
Avoid runoff into
storm sewers and ditches which lead to waterways.
Clean up spills immediately, observing precautions in the
Protective
Equipment section. Use
water spray to disperse the gas/vapor. Remove
all sources of ignition. Absorb spill using an
absorbent,
non-combustible
material such as earth, sand, or vermiculite. Do not
use combustible materials such as saw dust. Flush spill area
with
water. Provide ventilation.
Do not get water inside containers. Keep
combustibles (wood, paper, oil, etc.,) away from spilled
material.
**** SECTION 7 - HANDLING and STORAGE ****
Handling:
Wash thoroughly
after handling. Remove contaminated clothing and
wash before reuse. Use only in a well-ventilated area.
Contents may
develop pressure upon
prolonged storage. Do not get in eyes, on skin,
or on clothing. Keep container tightly closed. Avoid contact
with
clothing and other
combustible materials. Do not ingest or inhale.
Store protected from light. Discard contaminated shoes.
Unused
chemicals should not be
returned to the container. Rinse empty drums
and containers thoroughly with water before
discarding.
Storage:
Keep away from heat, sparks, and flame. Do not store
near
combustible materials. Keep
container closed when not in use. Store
in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from
incompatible
substances. Store
protected from light. Keep away form alkalies,
oxidizable materials, finely divided metals, alcohols,
and
permanganates. Store below
35&C. Store only in light-resistent
containers fitted with a safety vent.
**** SECTION 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS, PERSONAL PROTECTION
****
Engineering Controls:
Use explosion-proof ventilation equipment. Facilities
storing or
utilizing this material
should be equipped with an eyewash facility
and a safety shower. Use adequate general or local
exhaust
ventilation to keep
airborne concentrations below the permissible
exposure limits.
Personal Protective
Equipment
Eyes:
Wear appropriate protective eyeglasses or
chemical
safety goggles as described by OSHA's eye and
face
protection regulations in 29 CFR 1910.133 or
European
Standard EN166.
Skin:
Wear appropriate protective gloves to
prevent skin
exposure.
Clothing:
Wear appropriate protective clothing to prevent
skin
exposure.
Respirators:
A respiratory protection program that meets OSHA's
29
CFR :1910.134 and ANSI Z88.2 requirements or
European
Standard EN 149 must be followed whenever
workplace
conditions warrant a respirator's
use.
