Section 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Toxic by inhalation, in contact with skin and if swallowed. Causes burns. Harmful : danger of serious damage to health by prolonged exposure through inhalation, in contact with skin and if swallowed.Possible risk of irreversible effects.Corrosive.Highly toxic.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Contact with liquid or vapor causes severe burns and possible irreversible eye damage.
Skin:
Causes severe skin irritation. May be fatal if absorbed through the skin. Harmful if absorbed through the skin. Causes skin burns.
Causes symptoms similar to those of inhalation. May cause severe pain, swelling, tissue destruction, and possible shock. May cause skin discoloration.
Ingestion:
Harmful if swallowed. Symptoms may include: headache, excitement, fatigue, nausea, vomiting, stupor, and coma. May cause liver and kidney damage. May cause central nervous system depression, characterized by excitement, followed by headache, dizziness, drowsiness, and nausea. Advanced stages may cause collapse, unconsciousness, coma and possible death due to respiratory failure.
Causes digestive tract burns with immediate pain, swelling of the throat, convulsions, and possible coma.
Inhalation:
Harmful if inhaled. Causes severe irritation of upper respiratory tract with coughing, burns, breathing difficulty, and possible coma.
May be fatal if exposed to high concentrations. May also cause pallor, loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, weakness, darkened urine, headache, sweating, convulsions, cyanosis (bluish skin due to deficient oxygenation of the blood), unconsciousness, fatigue, pulmonary edema & coma.
Chronic:
Chronic inhalation and ingestion may cause effects similar to those of acute inhalation and ingestion. May cause liver and kidney damage. Repeated skin contact may cause dermatitis with dark pigmentation of the skin.
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 water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Discard contaminated clothing in a manner which limits further exposure. SPEEDY ACTION IS CRITICAL! 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.
Inhalation:
Get medical aid immediately. Remove from exposure and move 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:
As in any fire, wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and full protective gear. Vapors may form an explosive mixture with air. Use water spray to keep fire-exposed containers cool. 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. Vapors may be heavier than air. They can spread along the ground and collect in low or confined areas.
Extinguishing Media:
Use agent most appropriate to extinguish fire. Use water fog, dry chemical, carbon dioxide or alcohol type foam.
Section 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
General Information: Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated in Section 8.
Spills/Leaks:
Absorb spill with inert material (e.g. vermiculite, sand or earth), then place in suitable container. Clean up spills immediately, observing precautions in the Protective Equipment section. Provide ventilation.
Section 7 - HANDLING and STORAGE
Handling:
Wash thoroughly after handling. Use only in a well-ventilated area.
Use with adequate ventilation. Do not get in eyes, on skin, or on clothing. Do not ingest or inhale. Wash clothing before reuse.
Storage:
Keep away from heat and flame. Keep away from sources of ignition.
Keep refrigerated. (Store below 4C/39F.) Keep from contact with oxidizing materials. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible substances.
Section 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS, PERSONAL PROTECTION
Engineering Controls:
Use adequate general or local exhaust ventilation to keep airborne concentrations below the permissible exposure limits.
Exposure Limits CAS# 108-95-2: United Kingdom, WEL - TWA: 2 ppm TWA United Kingdom, WEL - STEL: 6 ppm STEL United States OSHA: 5 ppm TWA; 19 mg/m3 TWA Belgium - TWA: 2 ppm VLE; 7.8 mg/m3 VLE France - VME: 5 ppm VME; 19 mg/m3 VME Germany: 5 ppm TWA; 19 mg/m3 TWA Germany: Skin absorber Japan: 5 ppm OEL; 19 mg/m3 OEL Malaysia: 5 ppm TWA; 15 mg/m3 TWA Netherlands: 2 ppm MAC; 8 mg/m3 MAC Russia: 0.3 mg/m3 TWA Spain: 2 ppm VLA-ED; 8 mg/m3 VLA-ED CAS# 7732-18-5: 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 neoprene gloves, apron, and/or clothing.
Selection of specific glove materials should be based on your conditions of use in your application in consultation with your Safety Officer and manufacturers glove recommendations. Many factors influence the determination of proper glove material such as permeation rates and break through time.
Clothing:
Wear appropriate protective clothing to prevent skin exposure.
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.
