Section 3: Hazards Identification Potential Acute
Health Effects:
Extremely hazardous in case of ingestion. Very
hazardous in case of skin contact (irritant). Hazardous in case of eye contact
(irritant), of inhalation. Slightly hazardous in case of skin contact
(corrosive, permeator). Prolonged exposure may result in skin burns and
ulcerations. Over-exposure by inhalation may cause respiratory irritation.
Severe over-exposure can result in death.
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 kidneys, digestive system. 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. 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. Cold water may be
used.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 container dry. Keep away from
heat. Keep away from sources of ignition. Keep away from combustible
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. Keep away from incompatibles
such as combustible materials, organic materials, acids.
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.
