Section
3: Hazards Identification Potential Acute Health Effects:
Very
hazardous in case of skin contact (irritant), of eye contact (irritant), of
ingestion. Hazardous in case of inhalation. Slightly hazardous in case of skin
contact (corrosive, permeator). Severe over-exposure can result in death.
Inflammation of the eye is characterized by redness, watering, and itching. Skin
inflammation is characterized by itching, scaling, reddening, or, occasionally,
blistering.
Potential
Chronic Health Effects:
CARCINOGENIC
EFFECTS: Not available. MUTAGENIC EFFECTS: Not available. TERATOGENIC EFFECTS:
Not available. DEVELOPMENTAL TOXICITY: Not available. The substance is toxic to
lungs, mucous membranes. Repeated or prolonged exposure to the substance can
produce target organs 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. Do not use an eye ointment. Seek medical
attention.
Skin
Contact: After contact
with skin, wash immediately with plenty of water. Gently and thoroughly wash the
contaminated skin with running water and non-abrasive soap. Be particularly
careful to clean folds, crevices, creases and groin. Cover the irritated skin
with an emollient. 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.

Section
7: Handling and Storage Precautions:
Keep
locked up Keep container dry. Keep away from heat. Keep away from sources of
ignition. Empty containers pose a fire risk, evaporate the residue under a fume
hood. Ground all equipment containing material. Do not ingest. Do not breathe
dust. Never add water to this product 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:
Keep container dry. Keep
in a cool place. Ground all equipment containing material. Keep container
tightly closed. Keep in a cool, well-ventilated place. Highly toxic or
infectious materials should be stored in a separate locked 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. 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. 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.
