Section 3 - Hazards
Identification |
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Appearance: white. Danger! Corrosive. Carcinogen.
Sensitizer. May be harmful if swallowed. May cause severe skin irritation and
possible burns. May cause severe respiratory and digestive tract irritation with
possible burns. May cause severe eye irritation and possible injury. May cause
liver and kidney damage. May cause lung damage. May cause cancer based on animal
studies. Material is shock sensitive and potentially explosive.
Target Organs: Blood, kidneys, central nervous system,
liver.
Potential Health Effects
Eye: Contact with eyes may cause severe irritation,
and possible eye burns. May cause eye injury.
Skin: May
cause skin sensitization, an allergic reaction, which becomes evident upon
re-exposure to this material. May cause severe skin irritation with possible
burns, especially if skin is wet or moist.
Ingestion: May
cause liver and kidney damage. May cause severe digestive tract irritation with
abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. May cause corrosion and permanent
tissue destruction of the esophagus and digestive tract. Exposure may cause
anemia and other blood abnormalities. May be harmful if swallowed.
Inhalation: Irritation may lead to chemical pneumonitis and
pulmonary edema. May cause liver and kidney damage. May cause severe irritation
of the upper respiratory tract with pain, burns, and inflammation. May cause
effects similar to those described for ingestion.
Chronic:
Prolonged or repeated skin contact may cause sensitization dermatitis and
possible destruction and/or ulceration. May cause liver and kidney damage. May
cause cancer according to animal studies. May cause digestive tract
disturbances.

Section 4 - First Aid
Measures |
Eyes: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water
for at least 15 minutes, occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Get
medical aid immediately.
Skin: Get medical aid immediately.
Immediately flush skin with plenty of soap and water for at least 15 minutes
while removing contaminated clothing and shoes.
Ingestion:
Do NOT induce vomiting. If victim is conscious and alert, give 2-4 cupfuls of
milk or water. Get medical aid immediately.
Inhalation: Get
medical aid immediately. Remove from exposure to fresh air immediately. If not
breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen.
Notes to Physician: Treat symptomatically and supportively.
Antidote: No specific antidote exists.
|
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. Dusts at sufficient concentrations can form explosive mixtures with air.
Combustion generates toxic fumes. Material is shock sensitive and potentially
explosive. Greatly increases the burning rate of combustible materials.
Violently decomposes when heated under confinement.
Extinguishing
Media: For small fires, use water spray, dry chemical, carbon dioxide
or chemical foam.
|
Section 6 -
Accidental Release Measures |
General
Information: Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated in
Section 8.
Spills/Leaks: Clean up spills immediately,
observing precautions in the Protective Equipment section. Sweep up, then place
into a suitable container for disposal. Avoid generating dusty conditions.
Provide ventilation.
|
Section 7 - Handling
and Storage |
Handling: Wash thoroughly after handling. Remove
contaminated clothing and wash before reuse. Use with adequate ventilation.
Minimize dust generation and accumulation. May form flammable dust-air mixtures.
Loosen closure cautiously before opening. Do not get on skin and clothing. Empty
containers retain product residue, (liquid and/or vapor), and can be dangerous.
Do not ingest or inhale. Avoid mechanical shock and friction. Do not pressurize,
cut, weld, braze, solder, drill, grind, or expose empty containers to heat,
sparks or open flames.
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.
