Section III  Hazards Identification

Emergency Overview:   Clear, colorless to straw colored liquid.  Corrosive to the eyes, skin,

                                      gastrointestinal tract, and respiratory system.

Potential Health Effects:

Skin:                 Causes corrosive burns.  Brief exposures may cause irritation and defatting of the skin.

Exposures not promptly washed off may lead to toxic effects similar to ingestion.  Harmful if absorbed through skin.

Eyes:                Causes burns and may result in permanent injury to eyes including blindness.

Inhalation:         Mists and vapors can irritate the throat and respiratory tract.  High vapor concentrations

may cause central nervous system effects.  Symptoms may include headaches, dizziness, and drowsiness.  Harmful if inhaled.

Ingestion:          Ingestion can cause gastrointestinal irritation, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea and possible death.  Harmful if swallowed.

Section IV   First Aid Measures

Eyes:                Immediately flush eyes with water for at least 15 minutes, while holding eyelids open.

                        Remove contact lenses, if present, after the first 5 minutes, then continue rinsing eye. 

                        Seek medical attention at once.

Skin or Clothing:   Take off contaminated clothing.  Rinse skin immediately with plenty of water for 15-20

                        minutes.  Call a poison control center or doctor for treatment advice.

Inhalation:         If symptoms are experienced, move victim to fresh air.  If person is not breathing, call 911

or an ambulance, then give artificial respiration, preferably mouth-to-mouth if possible.  Call a poison control center or doctor for further treatment advice.

Ingestion:          Call a poison control center or doctor immediately for treatment advice.  Have person sip a

glass of water if able to swallow.  Do not induce vomiting unless told to do so by a poison control center or doctor.  Do not give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.

Note to Physician:   Probable mucosal damage may contraindicate the use of gastric lavage.

Section V Fire Fighting Measures

Flash Point: Over 210 ⁰F  (over 99 ⁰C)             Upper & Lower Flame Limits:  Not determined.

Extinguishing Media: Dry chemical, foam, carbon dioxide, or water fog. 

Fire Fighting  Equipment & Instructions:  Firefighters should wear full protective clothing including

self-contained breathing apparatus.  Cool fire exposed containers with spray.

Hazardous Combustion Products:   Irritating and toxic gases or fumes may be released during a fire.

Section VI   Accidental Release Measures

Spill and Leak Procedures:

 Emergency Action:       Isolate spill or leak area immediately.  Keep unauthorized personnel away.  Stay upwind.  Keep out of low areas where vapors may accumulate. 

Spill Cleanup:               Ventilate closed spaces before entering.  Floor will be slippery.  Do not touch or walk through spilled material.  Stop leak if you can do it without risk.  Prevent entry into waterways, sewers, basements or confined areas.  Absorb or cover with dry earth, sand, or other non-combustible material and transfer to containers.

Large Spills:                  Dike far ahead of liquid spill for later disposal. 

Waste Disposal:            Dispose of only by methods approved by and used in accordance with local, state, and federal regulations.

Section VII   Handling & Storage

Handling Procedures:    Avoid contact with skin and eyes.  Use good personal hygiene practices.  Wash

hands before eating, drinking, smoking, or using toilet facilities.  Wash thoroughly after work using soap and water.

Storage Procedures:  Keep the container tightly closed and in a cool, well-ventilated place.  Keep from

freezing. 

Section VIII   Exposure Controls/ Personal Protection

Engineering Controls:   Provide adequate local exhaust ventilation to maintain worker exposure

                        below exposure limits.

Personal Protective Equipment:

Eyes/Face:        Wear chemical goggles.  Use face shield if splashing is possible.

Skin:                 Use impervious gloves (rubber or neoprene). Wear protective clothing.

Respiratory:      If exposure limits are exceeded or if irritation is experienced, NIOSH approved

respiratory protection should be worn.  Ventilation and other forms of engineering controls are often the preferred means for controlling chemical exposures.  Respiratory protection may be needed for non-routine or emergency situations.

General:            Eye wash fountain and emergency showers are recommended.

The following ingredients have established exposure guidelines: (All TWAs are for 8-hour period.)
