Section 3: HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION

Emergency Overview: DANGER!! This product and concentrated solutions are corrosive to skin,
eyes, and respiratory system and especially to mucous membranes.
Combustible liquid.

Inhalation: Harmful if inhaled. May give off gas, vapor or dust that is very irritating
or corrosive to the respiratory system. Exposure to decomposition
products may cause a health hazard. Serious effects may be delayed
following exposure.

Ingestion: Corrosive; causes chemical burns to the mouth, throat and stomach.

Skin Contact: May cause severe irritation or tissue damage depending on the length of
exposure and the type of first aid administered.

Eye Contact: Corrosive. Will cause eye burns and permanent tissue damage.

Section 4: FIRST AID MEASURES

Inhalation: In case of inhalation of fumes, remove to safe area, treat for shock if
necessary and seek medical attention immediately.

Ingestion: In the event of accidental ingestion, drink copious quantities of water.

Do not induce vomiting. Seek medical attention at the earliest
opportunity.

Revision Date: 16.01.19, Revision No.1.1
Skin Contact: In the event of skin contact, rinse continuously with fresh water for at
least 15 minutes. Consult a physician if irritation persists.

Eye Contact: Flush eyes with a large amount of water for at least 15 minutes. If easy
to do, remove any contact lenses. Seek medical advice quickly.

Notes to Physician: In case of inhalation of decomposition products in a fire, symptoms may

be delayed. The exposed person may need to be kept under medical
surveillance for 48 hours.

Section 5: FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES

Fire: Flashpoint: Closed cup: 92.5°C (198.5°F); Lower and upper explosive
(flammable) limits: Lower: 5.5%, Upper: 17%

Explosion: Above flashpoint, vapor-air mixtures are explosive within flammable

limits noted above.

Fire Extinguishing Media: Use dry chemical, CO2, water spray (fog) or foam. Do not use water jet.

Special Information: Combustible liquid. In a fire or if heated, a pressure increase will occur
and the container may burst, with the risk of a subsequent explosion.
The vapor/gas is heavier than air and will spread along the ground.
Vapors may accumulate in low or confined areas or travel a considerable
distance to a source of ignition and flash back.
Runoff to sewer may create fire or explosion hazard. This material is
toxic to aquatic life. Fire water contaminated with this material must be
contained and prevented from being discharged to any waterway, sewer
or drain.

Special Precautions for Promptly isolate the scene by removing all persons from the vicinity of
Fire fighters: the incident if there is a fire. No action shall be taken involving any
personal risk or without suitable training. Move containers from fire area
if this can be done without risk. Use water spray to keep fire-exposed
containers cool.
Fire-fighters should wear appropriate protective equipment and self-
contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) with a full face-piece operated in
positive pressure mode.

Hazardous Thermal Decomposition products may include the following materials:

Decomposition Products: carbon dioxide
carbon monoxide
nitrogen oxides

 Section 6: ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

Personal Precautions: Use personal protection recommended in section 8.

Environmental Precautions: Avoid dispersal of spilled material and runoff and contact with soil,
waterways, drains and sewers. Inform the relevant authorities if the
product has caused environmental pollution (sewers, waterways, soil or
air). Water polluting material. May be harmful to the environment if
released in large quantities

Procedures for Cleanup: Contain and absorb with sand or vermiculite and mix well. Collect up and
remove to a safe place until disposal. Wash site of spillage thoroughly
with water. Assistance can be obtained from waste disposal companies.

Small Spill: Stop leak if without risk. Move containers from spill area.
Dilute with water and mop up if water-soluble. Alternatively, or if water-
insoluble, absorb with an inert dry material and place in an appropriate
waste disposal container. Use spark-proof tools and explosion-proof
equipment. Dispose of via a licensed waste disposal contractor.

Large Spill: Stop leak if without risk. Move containers from spill area.
Approach release from upwind. Prevent entry into sewers, water
courses, basements or confined areas. Wash spillages into an effluent
treatment plant or proceed as follows. Contain and collect spillage with
non-combustible, absorbent material e.g. sand, earth, vermiculite or
diatomaceous earth and place in container for disposal according to
local regulations (see section 13). Use spark-proof tools and explosion-
proof equipment. Dispose of via a licensed waste disposal contractor.
Contaminated absorbent material may pose the same hazard as the
spilled product.
Note: see section 1 for emergency contact information and section 13
for waste disposal.

Refer to Section 13 for disposal information and Sections 14 and 15 for reportable quantity information.

Section 7: HANDLING AND STORAGE

Handling: Do not get in eyes, on skin, on clothing. Do not take internally. Use with
adequate ventilation. Avoid generating aerosols and mists. Keep the
containers closed when not in use. Have emergency equipment (for fires,
spills, leaks, etc.) readily available.

Revision Date: 16.01.19, Revision No.1.1
Storage: Store between the following temperatures: 18 to 38°C (64.4 to 100.4°F).
Store in accordance with local regulations. Store in a segregated and
approved area. Store incompatibilities in original container protected
from direct sunlight in a dry, cool and well-ventilated area, away from
incompatible materials (see section 10) and food and drink. Store locked
up. Eliminate all ignition sources. Separate from oxidizing materials. Keep
container tightly closed and sealed until ready for use. Containers that
have been opened must be carefully resealed and kept upright to
prevent leakage. Do not store in unlabeled containers. Use appropriate
containment to avoid environmental contamination

Section 8: EXPOSURE CONTROLS, PERSONAL PROTECTION

Airborne Exposure Limits: ACGIH TLV (United States, 2/2010).

TWA: 3 ppm 8 hour(s).
TWA: 7.5 mg/m³ 8 hour(s).
STEL: 6 ppm 15 minute(s).
STEL: 15 mg/m³ 15 minute(s).

Ventilation System: Provide natural or mechanical ventilation to minimize exposure. If

practical, use local mechanical exhaust ventilation at sources of air
contamination such as processing equipment.

Personal Respirators: If significant mists, vapors or aerosols are generated an approved

respirator is recommended. A suitable filter material depends on the
amount and type of chemicals being handled. Consider the use of filter
type: Multi-contaminant cartridge, with a Particulate pre-filter. In event
of emergency or planned entry into unknown concentrations a positive
pressure, full-face piece SCBA should be used. If respiratory protection is
required, institute a complete respiratory protection program including
selection, fit testing, training, maintenance and inspection.

Skin Protection: Wear chemical resistant apron, chemical splash goggles, impervious
gloves and boots. A full slicker suit is recommended if gross exposure is
possible.

Eye Protection: Wear a face shield with chemical splash goggles.

Section 13: DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS

US EPA RCRA Status: No information.

Disposal considerations: The generation of waste should be avoided or minimized wherever

possible. Significant quantities of waste product residues should not be
disposed of via the foul sewer but processed in a suitable effluent
treatment plant. Dispose of surplus and non-recyclable products via a
licensed waste disposal contractor. Disposal of this product, solutions
and any by-products should at all times comply with the requirements of
environmental protection and waste disposal legislation and any regional
local authority requirements. Waste packaging should be recycled.
Incineration or landfill should only be considered when recycling is not
feasible. This material and its container must be disposed of in a safe
way. Care should be taken when handling emptied containers that have
not been cleaned or rinsed out.
Empty Containers or liners may retain some product residues. Vapor
from product residues may create a highly flammable or explosive
atmosphere inside the container. Do not cut, weld or grind used
containers unless they have been cleaned thoroughly internally. Avoid
dispersal of spilled material and runoff and contact with soil, waterways,
drains and sewers.

Miscellaneous advice: Local, state, provincial, and national disposal regulations may be more or
less stringent. Consult your attorney or appropriate regulatory officials
