Section 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Causes burns. Toxic in contact with skin and if swallowed.Hygroscopic (absorbs moisture from the air).Light sensitive.Corrosive.Toxic.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Causes eye burns. May result in corneal injury. May cause conjunctivitis and keratitis.
Skin:
Harmful if absorbed through the skin. May cause dermatitis. Causes severe skin irritation and burns. Allergic reactions have been reported. When it comes in contact with the skin, it may not produce any burning sensation immediately.
Ingestion:
Harmful if swallowed. May cause severe gastrointestinal tract irritation with nausea, vomiting and possible burns. May cause liver and kidney damage. May cause central nervous system depression, convulsions, coma, and possible death due to respiratory paralysis.
Inhalation:
Causes severe irritation of upper respiratory tract with coughing, burns, breathing difficulty, and possible coma. May cause effects similar to those described for ingestion. Inhalation of appreciable amounts of vapor under normal conditions is unlikely because of the materials low vapor pressure. Hazardous concentrations may develop at elevated temperatures.
Chronic:
Prolonged or repeated skin contact may cause dermatitis. May cause liver and kidney damage. May cause digestive tract disturbances.
Repeated exposure may cause central nervous system damage.

Section 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES
Eyes: In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at 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:
If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical aid.
Notes to Physician:
Treat symptomatically and supportively.

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. Use water spray to keep fire-exposed containers cool. Combustible liquid and vapor. Vapors are heavier than air and may travel to a source of ignition and flash back. Vapors can spread along the ground and collect in low or confined areas.
Extinguishing Media:
Use water spray, dry chemical, carbon dioxide, or appropriate 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. Remove all sources of ignition.
Provide ventilation. Approach spill from upwind. U.S. regulations require reporting spills and releases to soil, water and air in excess of reportable quantities. Control runoff and isolate discharged material for proper disposal.

Section 7 - HANDLING and STORAGE
Handling:
Wash thoroughly after handling. Remove contaminated clothing and wash before reuse. Do not get in eyes, on skin, or on clothing. Do not ingest or inhale. Discard contaminated shoes. Use only with adequate ventilation. Keep away from heat and flame.
Storage:
Keep away from sources of ignition. Store in a tightly closed container. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible substances. Corrosives area. Store protected from light and air. Separate from oxidizing materials.
