                 **** 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.
