Section 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Risk of explosion by shock, friction, fire or other sources of ignition. Toxic by inhalation, in contact with skin and if swallowed.
Forms very sensitive explosive metallic compounds.Heat sensitive.Toxic.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Causes eye irritation. May result in corneal injury.
Skin:
Causes skin irritation. If absorbed, causes symptoms similar to those of ingestion. May cause dermatitis.
Ingestion:
Harmful if swallowed. May cause gastrointestinal irritation with nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. May cause kidney damage. May cause headache. May cause tremors and convulsions. May cause unconsciousness. May cause acute hepatitis.
Inhalation:
May cause respiratory tract irritation. May cause effects similar to those described for ingestion. May cause kidney damage.
Chronic:
Prolonged or repeated eye contact may cause conjunctivitis.
Prolonged or repeated skin contact may cause sensitization dermatitis and possible destruction and/or ulceration. May cause fetal effects. Prolonged or repeated exposure may cause yellow staining of the skin and conjunctiva and "yellow vision".

Section 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES
Eyes: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Get medical aid immediately.
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.
Ingestion:
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.
Inhalation:
Get medical aid immediately. Remove from exposure to fresh air immediately. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen.
Notes to Physician:

Section 5 - FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
General Information:
Evacuate area and fight fire from a safe distance. As in any fire, wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and full protective gear.
Exposure to heat may promote violent decomposition. Combustion generates toxic fumes. Material is easily ignited if allowed to dry.
This material is an explosion hazard when exposed to heat, mechanical shock, or friction. This material poses an explosion hazard when dry.
Extinguishing Media:
Use water spray, dry chemical, or foam. Do NOT use carbon dioxide.
Do NOT use halogenated agents.

Section 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
General Information: Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated in Section 8.
Spills/Leaks:
Remove all sources of ignition. Carefully scoop up and place into appropriate disposal container. If the material is dry, explosives experts may be necessary to dispose of the spill. Isolate area and deny entry. Wet area to prevent drying out. Provide ventilation.

Section 7 - HANDLING and STORAGE
Handling:
Wash thoroughly after handling. Use only in a well-ventilated area.
Minimize dust generation and accumulation. Material is heat, shock and/or friction sensitive. Use care in handling and storage. Loosen closure cautiously before opening. Avoid contact with skin and eyes.
Avoid contact with heat, sparks and flame. Do not ingest or inhale.
Container should be opened by a technically qualified person. Avoid mechanical shock and friction.
Storage:
Keep away from heat, sparks, and flame. Keep container closed to prevent drying out. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible substances. Keep away from metals. Material can explode if dry. Do not store on concrete.
