Section 3 - Hazards Identification

Appearance: purple liquid. May cause kidney damage. The toxicological properties of this material have not been fully investigated. May cause eye and skin irritation. May cause respiratory and digestive tract irritation. May be harmful if swallowed. Danger! Oxidizer. Contact with other material may cause fire.
Target Organs: Blood, kidneys, central nervous system, liver.


Potential Health Effects
Eye: May cause eye irritation. May cause conjunctivitis.
Skin: May cause skin irritation. Skin contact can cause brown stains in the area, and possible hardenin g of the outer skin layer.
Ingestion: May cause irritation of the digestive tract. May be harmful if swallowed. May form methemoglobin which in sufficient concentration causes cyanosis (bluish discoloration of skin due to deficient oxygenation of the blood). In high doses, manganese may increase anemia by interfering with iron absorption. May cause nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea, possibly with blood. Manganese in general is a central nervous system poison, and potassium permanganate has also been shown to have this property.
Inhalation: May cause respiratory tract irritation. Aspiration may lead to pulmonary edema. May cause acute pulmonary edema, asphyxia, chemical pneumonitis, and upper airway obstruction caused by edema.
Chronic: Prolonged or repeated skin contact may cause defatting and dermatitis. May cause liver and kidney damage. Laboratory experiments have resulted in mutagenic effects. Chronic manganese toxicity through inhalation may result in "manganism", which is a disease of the central nervous system involving psychic and neurological disorders. May cause adverse reproductive effects.

Section 4 - First Aid Measures

Eyes: Flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Get medical aid.
Skin: Get medical aid. Flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash clothing before reuse.
Ingestion: Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical aid. Do NOT induce vomiting. If conscious and alert, rinse mouth and drink 2-4 cupfuls of milk or water.
Inhalation: Remove from exposure and move to fresh air immediately. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical aid.
Notes to Physician: Absorption of this product into the body may cause cyanosis (bluish discoloration of skin due to deficient oxygenation of the blood). Moderate degrees of cyanosis need to be treated only by supportive measures: bed rest and oxygen inhalation. If cyanosis is severe, intravenous injection of Methylene blue, 1mg/kg of body weight may be of value.

Section 5 - Fire Fighting Measures

General Information: As in any fire, wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and full protective gear. Strong oxidizer. Contact with combustible materials may cause a fire. During a fire, irritating and highly toxic gases may be generated by thermal decomposition or combustion. Use water with caution and in flooding amounts. Some oxidizers may react explosively with hydrocarbons(fuel). May accelerate burning if involved in a fire. Containers may explode when heated.
Extinguishing Media: In case of fire, use water, dry chemical, chemical foam, or alcohol-resistant foam. Use agent most appropriate to extinguish fire. Contact professional fire-fighters immediately.

Autoignition Temperature: Not available.
Explosion Limits, Lower:Not available.

NFPA Rating: (estimated) Health: 2; Flammability: 0; Instability: 0; Special Hazard: OX

Section 6 - Accidental Release Measures

General Information: Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated in Section 8.
Spills/Leaks: Avoid runoff into storm sewers and ditches which lead to waterways. Clean up spills immediately, observing precautions in the Protective Equipment section. Remove all sources of ignition. Absorb spill using an absorbent, non-combustible material such as earth, sand, or vermiculite. Do not use combustible materials such as saw dust. Provide ventilation. Do not use combustible materials such as paper towels to clean up spill. Clean up residual material by washing area with a 2-5% solution of soda ash.

Section 7 - Handling and Storage

Handling: Wash thoroughly after handling. Remove contaminated clothing and wash before reuse. Use only in a well-ventilated area. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Keep container tightly closed. Avoid contact with clothing and other combustible materials. Avoid ingestion and inhalation.
Storage: Keep away from heat, sparks, and flame. Do not store near combustible materials. Store in a tightly closed container. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible substances.

Section 8 - Exposure Controls, Personal Protection

Engineering Controls: Facilities storing or utilizing this material should be equipped with an eyewash facility and a safety shower. Use adequate ventilation to keep airborne concentrations low.
