Section 3. Hazards Identification
Eye:Causes eye irritation. Skin: Causes skin irritation. Ingestion: May cause gastrointestinal irritation with nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. May cause cardiac
disturbances. May cause central nervous system depression. Inhalation: Causes respiratory tract irritation. May be harmful if inhaled. May cause cardiac abnormalities. Chronic: Effects may be delayed. Section 4. First Aid Measures
Ingestion: If swallowed, wash out mouth with water provided person is conscious. Call a physician. Inhalation: If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Skin: In case of skin contact, flush with copious amounts of water for at least 15 minutes. Remove
contaminated clothing and shoes. Call a physician. Eyes: In case of contact with eyes, flush with copious amounts of water for at least 15 minutes. Assure
adequate flushing by separating the eyelids with fingers. Call a physician. Section 5. Fire Fighting Measures
General Information: As in any fire, wear a self­contained breathing apparatus in pressure­demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and full protective gear. During a fire, irritating and highly toxic
gases may be generated by thermal decomposition or combustion. Vapors may be heavier than air. They can
spread along the ground and collect in low or confined areas. Contact with metals may evolve flammable
hydrogen gas. Containers may explode when heated. Non­combustible, substance itself does not burn but
may decompose upon heating to produce irritating, corrosive and/or toxic fumes. Runoff from fire control or
dilution water may cause pollution. Extinguishing Media: Do NOT get water inside containers. For small fires, use dry chemical, carbon
dioxide, or water spray. For large fires, use dry chemical, carbon dioxide, alcohol­resistant foam, or water
spray. Cool containers with flooding quantities of water until well after fire is out. Suitable extinguishing media: Dry inert chemical, foam or water spray. Extinguishing media which must not be used for safety reasons: Water jet
Special protective equipment for fire­fighting: Wear self contained breathing apparatus, protective
clothing and goggles. Section 6. Accidental Release Measures
Spills/Leaks: Absorb spill with inert material (e.g. vermiculite, sand or earth), then place in suitable
container. Avoid runoff into storm sewers and ditches which lead to waterways. Clean up spills immediately, observing precautions in the Protective Equipment section. Provide ventilation. Personal precautions: Wear suitable protective clothing and eye protection to prevent shin and eye contact. Environmental­protection measures: Keep the area isolated and do not allow contamination to enter the
sewerage system. Do not flush with water. Procedures for cleaning/absorption: Contain/absorb the spillage with a suitable inert absorbent material. Collect contaminated material and place in covered, labelled containers for disposal. Section 7. Handling and Storage
Handling: Do not swallow and avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing. Use only in a well­ventilated
area. Wear appropriate personal protective clothing and equipment. Storage: Keep out of reach of children and animals. Keep in the original container in a cool, dry, well­ ventilated place away from ignition sources, heat or flame. Protect containers from physical damage. Protect
against contamination. Section 8. Exposure Controls/Personal Protection
Occupational exposure limits: None assigned. Engineering measures to reduce exposure: Ensure adequate ventilation, especially in confined areas. Personal protective equipment:
Respiratory protection: Wear a respirator with a charcoal filter following the manufacturer’s instructions
for use. Eye protection: Wear safety goggles conforming to BS 2092. Hand protection: Wear PVC or nitrile gloves. Skin and body protection: Lightweight protective clothing should be used to prevent contamination when
dealing with the concentrate or spray. Industrial Hygiene: Immediately change contaminated clothing, dispose of if decontamination is not
feasible. Section 9. Physical and Chemical Properties
