Section
3: Hazards Identification Potential Acute Health Effects:
Extremely
hazardous in case of ingestion. Very hazardous in case of inhalation. Hazardous
in case of skin contact (irritant, permeator), of eye contact (irritant).
Corrosive to eyes and skin. The amount of tissue damage depends on length of
contact. Eye contact can result in corneal damage or blindness. Skin contact can
produce inflammation and blistering. Inhalation of dust will produce irritation
to gastro-intestinal or respiratory tract, characterized by burning, sneezing
and coughing. Severe over-exposure can produce lung damage, choking,
unconsciousness or death.
Potential
Chronic Health Effects:
Extremely
hazardous in case of ingestion. Very hazardous in case of inhalation. Hazardous
in case of skin contact (irritant, permeator), of eye contact (irritant).
CARCINOGENIC EFFECTS: Classified 2B (Possible for human.) by IARC. MUTAGENIC
EFFECTS: Not available. TERATOGENIC EFFECTS: Not available. DEVELOPMENTAL
TOXICITY: Not available. The substance is toxic to blood, kidneys, the nervous
system, mucous membranes. Repeated or prolonged exposure to the substance can
produce target organs damage. Repeated exposure of the eyes to a low level of
dust can produce eye irritation. Repeated skin exposure can produce local skin
destruction, or dermatitis. Repeated inhalation of dust can produce varying
degree of respiratory irritation or lung damage. Repeated exposure to an highly
toxic material may produce general deterioration of health by an accumulation in
one or many human organs.
Section
4: First Aid Measures Eye Contact:
Check
for and remove any contact lenses. Immediately flush eyes with running water for
at least 15 minutes, keeping eyelids open. Cold water may be used. Do not use an
eye ointment. Seek medical attention.
Skin
Contact: If the chemical
got onto the clothed portion of the body, remove the contaminated clothes as
quickly as possible, protecting your own hands and body. Place the victim under
a deluge shower. If the chemical got on the victim's exposed skin, such as the
hands : Gently and thoroughly wash the contaminated skin with running water and
non-abrasive soap. Be particularly careful to clean folds, crevices, creases and
groin. If irritation persists, seek medical attention. Wash contaminated
clothing
before
reusing.
Serious
Skin Contact:Wash with a
disinfectant soap and cover the contaminated skin with an anti-bacterial cream.
Seek immediate medical attention.
Inhalation:
Allow the victim to rest
in a well ventilated area. Seek immediate medical attention.
Serious
Inhalation: Evacuate the
victim to a safe area as soon as possible. Loosen tight clothing such as a
collar, tie, belt or waistband. If breathing is difficult, administer oxygen. If
the victim is not breathing, perform mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. WARNING: It
may be hazardous to the person providing aid to give mouth-to-mouth
resuscitation when the inhaled material is toxic, infectious or corrosive. Seek
immediate medical attention.
Ingestion:Do
not induce vomiting. Examine the lips and mouth to ascertain whether the tissues
are damaged, a possible indication that the toxic material was ingested; the
absence of such signs, however, is not conclusive. Loosen tight clothing such as
a collar, tie, belt or waistband. If the victim is not breathing, perform
mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. Seek immediate medical attention.
Serious
Ingestion: Not available.

container.
Large
Spill: Corrosive solid.
Stop leak if without risk. Do not get water inside container. Do not touch
spilled material. Use water spray to reduce vapors. Prevent entry into sewers,
basements or confined areas; dike if needed. Call for assistance on disposal. Be
careful that the product is not present at a concentration level above TLV.
Check TLV on the MSDS and with local authorities.
Section
7: Handling and Storage Precautions:
Keep
locked up Keep container dry. Do not ingest. Do not breathe dust. Never add
water to this product Wear suitable protective clothing In case of insufficient
ventilation, wear suitable respiratory equipment If ingested,
seek medical advice immediately and show the container or the label. Avoid
contact with skin and eyes
Storage:
Corrosive materials should
be stored in a separate safety storage cabinet or room.
Section
8: Exposure Controls/Personal Protection Engineering Controls:
Use
process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to
keep airborne levels below recommended exposure limits. If user operations
generate dust, fume or mist, use ventilation to keep exposure to airborne
contaminants below the exposure limit.
Personal
Protection:Splash goggles.
Lab coat. Vapor and dust respirator. Be sure to use an approved/certified
respirator or equivalent. Gloves.
Personal
Protection in Case of a Large Spill:
Splash
goggles. Full suit. Vapor and dust respirator. Boots. Gloves. A self contained
breathing apparatus should be used to avoid inhalation of the product. Suggested
protective clothing might not be sufficient; consult a specialist BEFORE
handling this product.
Exposure
Limits:TWA: 0.15 CEIL:
