Toxic. Danger! Causes eye and skin burns. Causes digestive and respiratory tract burns. Harmful if inhaled or swallowed. May cause allergic skin reaction. Very toxic to aquatic organisms. Target Organs: Heart, central nervous system, eyes, skin, mucous membranes. Potential Health Effects Eye: Causes eye burns. May cause irreversible eye injury. Causes severe burning pain and redness of the conjunctiva. May cause permanent visual impairment. Skin: Causes skin burns. May cause skin sensitization, an allergic reaction, which becomes evident upon re-exposure to this material. Produces harmless yellow stains on the skin. Ingestion: Harmful if swallowed. Causes gastrointestinal tract burns. Ingestion may produce shock, collapse, and convulsions. Inhalation: Harmful if inhaled. Causes chemical burns to the respiratory tract. May cause lung damage. In rare instances, exposure may cause sensitization, resulting in inflammation of the mucous membranes and in eczematous eruptions. Chronic: Prolonged or repeated skin contact may cause dermatitis. Repeated or prolonged exposure may cause allergic reactions in sensitive individuals. Chronic exposure may cause effects similar to those of acute exposure. Section 4 - First Aid Measures Eyes: In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for a t least 15 minutes. Get medical aid immediately. Skin: In case of contact, immediately flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Get medical aid immediately. Wash clothing before reuse. Ingestion: If swallowed, do NOT induce vomiting. Get medical aid immediately. If victim is fully conscious, give a cupful of water. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Inhalation: Get medical aid immediately. Remove from exposure and move 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. Section 5 - Fire Fighting Measures General Information: Containers can build up pressure if exposed to heat and/or fire. As in any fire, wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and full protective gear. During a fire, irritating and highly toxic gases may be generated by thermal decomposition or combustion. Vapors may be heavier than air. They can spread along the ground and collect in low or confined areas. Non-combustible, substance itself does not burn but may decompose upon heating to produce irritating, corrosive and/or toxic fumes. Extinguishing Media: Use water fog, dry chemical, carbon dioxide, or regular foam. Cool containers with flooding quantities of water until well after fire is out. Flash Point: Not available. Autoignition Temperature: Not available. Explosion Limits, Lower:Not available. Upper: Not available. NFPA Rating: (estimated) Health: 3; Flammability: 0; Instability: 0 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. Absorb spill using an absorbent, non-combustible material such as earth, sand, or vermiculite. Do not use combustible materials such as sawdust. Provide ventilation. Section 7 - Handling and Storage Handling: Wash thoroughly after handling. Do not breathe dust, vapor, mist, or gas. Do not get in eyes, on skin, or on clothing. Keep container tightly closed. Do not ingest or inhale. Use only in a chemical fume hood. Discard contaminated shoes. Storage: Keep container closed when not in use. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible substances. Section 8 - Exposure Controls, Personal Protection Engineering Controls: 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.
