Section 3: Hazards
Identification Potential Acute Health Effects:
Extremely hazardous in case of
ingestion, of inhalation. Hazardous in case of skin contact (irritant), of eye
contact (irritant).Slightly hazardous in case of skin contact (permeator).
Prolonged exposure may result in skin burns and ulcerations. Overexposure by
inhalation may cause respiratory irritation. Severe over-exposure can result
in death.
Potential Chronic Health
Effects:
CARCINOGENIC EFFECTS: Classified A1
(Confirmed for human.) by ACGIH. MUTAGENIC EFFECTS: Not available. TERATOGENIC
EFFECTS: Not available. DEVELOPMENTAL TOXICITY: Not available. The substance
is toxic to blood, kidneys, lungs, the nervous system, liver, mucous
membranes. Repeated or prolonged exposure to the substance can produce target
organs damage. Repeated exposure to a 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. In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at
least 15 minutes. Cold water may be used. WARM water MUST be used. Get medical
attention.
Skin Contact: In
case of contact, immediately flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15
minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Cover the irritated
skin with an emollient. Wash clothing before reuse. Thoroughly clean shoes
before reuse. Get medical attention immediately.
Serious Skin Contact: Wash
with a disinfectant soap and cover the contaminated skin with an
anti-bacterial cream. Seek immediate medical attention.
Inhalation:If
inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration.
If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical attention immediately.
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:If
swallowed, do not induce vomiting unless directed to do so by medical
personnel. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Loosen tight
clothing such as a collar, tie, belt or waistband. Get medical attention
immediately.
Serious Ingestion: Not
available.

Section 6: Accidental Release
Measures
Small Spill: Use
appropriate tools to put the spilled solid in a convenient waste disposal
container.
Large Spill: Oxidizing
material. Poisonous solid. Stop leak if without risk. Do not get water inside
container. Avoid contact with a combustible material (wood, paper, oil,
clothing...). Keep substance damp using water spray. 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 away from
heat. Keep away from sources of ignition. Keep away from combustible
material.. Do not ingest. Do not breathe dust. 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: Keep
container tightly closed. Keep container in a cool, well-ventilated area.
Separate from acids, alkalies, reducing agents and combustibles. See NFPA 43A,
Code for the Storage of Liquid and Solid Oxidizers.
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.
