Hazardous Combustion Products:
WHEN HEATED TO DECOMPOSITION, PRODUCT EMITS IRRITATING FUMES. TOXIC GASES AND VAPORS MAY BE RELEASED IN A FIRE INVOLVING ACETIC
ACID.
Fire Fighting Procedures:
KEEP UNNECESSARY PEOPLE AWAY; ISOLATE HAZARD AREA AND DENY ENTRY. STAY UPWIND;KEEPOUT OF LOW AREAS. POSITIVE PRESSURE SELF-
CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS (SCBA) AND STRUCTURAL FIRE FIGHTERS’ PROTECTIVE CLOTHING WILL PROVIDE LIMITED PROTECTION.
Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards:
MATERIAL MAY BURN, BUT NONE OF THEM IGNITES READILY. FLAMMABLE GASES MAY ACCUMULATE IN TANKS AND HOPPER CARS. THIS MATERIAL
MAY IGNITE COMBUSTIBLES (WOOD, PAPER, OIL, ETC.).

VI. HEALTH HAZARD INFORMATION:

Primary Exposure Route: Skin Contact: X Skin Absorption: Eye Contact: X Inhalation: X Ingestion:
Product Carcinogenicity - NTP: NO IARC: NO
Acute Effects of Overexposure:
SWALLOWING MAY CAUSE CORROSION OF MOUTH AND GASTROINTESTINAL TRACT, VOMITING, DIARRHEA, UREMIA, AND DEATH. SKIN CONTACT
MAY CAUSE PAIN, BURNING SENSATION, REDNESS AND SWELLING, BLISTERS, TISSUE DAMAGE, SHOCK, COMA AND DEATH. INHALATION MAY
IRRITATE MUCOUS MEMBRANES (NOSE, MOUTH, EYES, THROAT), WATERING OF EYES, NASAL DISCHARGE, SNEEZING, COUGHING, CHEST TIGHTNESS
OR PAIN, BREATHING DIFFICULTY, WHEEZING, HEADACHE, SALIVATION, NAUSEA, WEAKNESS, ULCERATION OF MUCOUS MEMBRANES, FLUID IN THE
LUNGS, SECONDARY CHEMICAL PNEUMONIA AND DEATH. EYE CONTACT MAY CAUSE STINGING OR INTENSE BURNING SENSATION, WATERING OF
EYES, REDNESS AND SWELLING OF EYELIDS, ULCERATION OF TISSUES, OPAQUENESS OF THE CORNEA CAUSING BLURRED VISION AND LOSS OF SIGHT.
Chronic Effects of Overexposure:
ACETIC ACID MAY CAUSE EROSION OF DENTAL ENAMEL, BRONCHITIS, EYE IRRITATION, DARKENING AND THICKENING OF THE SKIN AND CHRONIC
INFLAMMATION OF THE RESPIRATORY TRACT.

VII. EMERGENCY AND FIRST AID INSTRUCTIONS:

Eyes: IMMEDIATELY FLUSH EYES WITH FRESH WATER FOR AT LEAST 15 MINUTES. CONTACT
A PHYSICIAN AND GET AN EYE EXAMINATION AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
Skin: REMOVE CONTAMINATED CLOTHING. WASH SKIN VIGOROUSLY, INCLUDING HAIR & NAILS, WITH SOAP AND WATER.
REPEAT SOAP WASHINGS. DISCARD CONTAMINATED CLOTHING.
Ingestion: GIVE CONSCIOUS PATIENT TWO GLASSES OF MILK. DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING UNLESS INSTRUCTED TO DO SO BY A
PHYSICIAN. GET MEDICAL ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY.
Inhalation: REMOVE PATIENT TO FRESH AIR. IF COUGH OR DIFFICULTY IN BREATHING DEVELOPS, GIVE OXYGEN. CONSULT
WITH A PHYSICIAN.

VIII. ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION PROCEDURES:

Spill Response:
NOTIFY SAFETY PERSONNEL FOR LARGE SPILLS. APPROACH SPILL AREA UPWIND IF POSSIBLE. AVOID BREATHING VAPORS. ELIMINATE IGNITION
SOURCES. CLEAN-UP WORKERS NEED PROTECTION AGAINST SKIN AND EYE CONTACT AND INHALATION OF MIST AND VAPORS. RECOVER SPILL IN
SALVAGE DRUMS.
Waste Disposal Method:

DISPOSE OF ACCORDING TO LOCAL, STATE, AND FEDERAL REGULATIONS.

Handling:
FOLLOW GOOD HANDLING AND HOUSEKEEPING PROCEDURES AND AVOID SPILLS. AVOID PROLONGED SKIN AND EYE CONTACT. AVOID INHALATION
OF MIST OR VAPORS. WEAR PROPER PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT. USE WITH ADEQUATE VENTILATION.
Storage:
STORE IN A SEALED CONTAINER IN A CLEAN, DRY, WELL VENTILATED AREA AWAY FROM IGNITION SOURCES AND HEAT.

IX. OCCUPATIONAL CONTROL MEASURES:

Respiratory Protection: AVOID BREATHING VAPORS BY USING A FRESH AIR SUPPLY OR AIR PURIFYING
RESPIRATOR.
Ventilation: GENERAL (MECHANICAL) ROOM VENTILATION IS EXPECTED TO BE SATISFACTORY.
Clothing: PROTECTIVE CLOTHING AND A CHEMICAL APRON.
Eyewear: FACE SHIELD AND/OR SAFETY GOGGLES.
Gloves: NEOPRENE OR BUTYL RUBBER. Footwear: WEAR RUBBER BOOTS.
