Section 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Spontaneously flammable in air. Very toxic by inhalation and if swallowed. Causes severe burns.Corrosive.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Causes eye burns.
Skin:
Causes skin burns. Chronic exposure may lead to anemia, digestive tract effects, brittleness of bones, and necrosis of the jaw.
Ingestion:
May be fatal if swallowed. Causes gastrointestinal tract burns.
Inhalation:
May be fatal if inhaled. Causes severe irritation of upper respiratory tract with coughing, burns, breathing difficulty, and possible coma. May cause visual abnormalities.
Chronic:
Chronic exposure may lead to anemia, digestive tract effects, brittleness of bones, and necrosis of the jaw.
Section 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES
Eyes: Get medical aid immediately. Do NOT allow victim to rub eyes 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 water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes.
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 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:
Section 5 - FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
General Information:
Material can spontaneously ignite (pyrophoric) when exposed to air at normal or slightly elevated temperatures. Wear appropriate protective clothing to prevent contact with skin and eyes. Wear a self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) to prevent contact with thermal decomposition products. If combustion occurs in a confined space, it will cause asphyxiation.
Extinguishing Media:
Use water only!
Section 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
General Information: Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated in Section 8.
Spills/Leaks:
Avoid generating dusty conditions. Flush down the spill with a large amount of water. Cover with sand and place into a closed container for disposal. Provide ventilation.
Section 7 - HANDLING and STORAGE
Handling:
Wash thoroughly after handling. Remove contaminated clothing and wash before reuse. Minimize dust generation and accumulation. Avoid contact with clothing and other combustible materials. Do not get on skin or in eyes. Do not ingest or inhale. Use only in a chemical fume hood.
Storage:
Store in a tightly closed container. 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 process enclosure, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to control airborne levels.
Exposure Limits CAS# 7723-14-0: United Kingdom, WEL - TWA: 0.1 mg/m3 TWA United Kingdom, WEL - STEL: 0.3 mg/m3 STEL United States OSHA: 0.1 mg/m3 TWA Belgium - TWA: 0.02 ppm VLE; 0.1 mg/m3 VLE Germany: 0.1 mg/m3 TWA (inhalable fraction) Japan: 0.1 mg/m3 OEL Malaysia: 0.02 ppm TWA; 0.1 mg/m3 TWA Netherlands: 0.1 mg/m3 MAC Russia: 0.03 mg/m3 TWA Personal Protective Equipment Eyes: Wear appropriate protective eyeglasses or chemical safety goggles as described by OSHAs eye and face protection regulations in 29 CFR 1910.133 or European Standard EN166.
Skin:
Wear appropriate protective gloves and clothing to prevent skin exposure.
Clothing:
Wear appropriate protective clothing to minimize contact with skin.
Respirators:
Follow the OSHA respirator regulations found in 29 CFR 1910.134 or European Standard EN 149. Use a NIOSH/MSHA or European Standard EN 149 approved respirator if exposure limits are exceeded or if irritation or other symptoms are experienced.
