SECTION 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES
4.1 Description of First Aid Measures
Inhalation
Remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Call a physician.
Ingestion
Do not induce vomiting. If swallowed and the person is conscious, immediately give large amounts of water. Get medical attention.
Skin
Immediately flush skin with plenty of soap and water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Get medical attention. Wash clothing before reuse. Thoroughly clean shoes before reuse.
Eyes
Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least fifteen minutes, lifting lower and upper eyelids occasionally. Get medical attention immediately.
4.2 Most Important Symptoms and Effects, Both Acute and Delayed
Inhalation
Sore throat, shortness of breath, inflammation of nasal passages, coughing, and wheezing. Allergic reaction may cause asthma-like symptoms and life-threatening shock.
Ingestion
Abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting.
Skin
Pain, redness, dermatitis.
Eyes
Pain, redness, tearing.
4.3 Indication of Any Immediate Medical Attention and Special Treatment Needed
Unknown/not applicable
SECTION 5 - FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
5.1 Extinguishing media
Dry powder, foam, carbon dioxide. Do not use water (Contact with water releases oxygen which may intensify combustion in an existing fire).
5.2 Special Hazards Arising from the Substance/Mixture
Hazardous Combustion Products
Nitrogen oxides, sulfur oxides, and sulfuric acid.
Hazardous Decomposition Products
Decomposed by moisture to form oxygen and ozone. Burning may produce nitrogen oxides, sulfur oxides, and sulfuric acid.
Hazardous Polymerization
Will not occur under normal conditions of use (See Sections 10.4 & 10.5).
5.3 Advice for Firefighters
In the event of a fire, wear full protective clothing and NIOSH-approved self-contained breathing apparatus with full facepiece operated in the pressure demand or other positive pressure mode.
5.4 Further Information
No data available.
SECTION 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
6.1 Personal Precautions
Wear appropriate protective equipment as specified in Section 8.
6.2 Environmental Precautions
Prevent discharge into the environment. Dike spills and stop leakage where practical. Do not allow material to enter drains.
6.3 Methods and Materials for Containment and Cleaning Up
Remove all sources of ignition. Ventilate area. Clean up spills in a manner that does not disperse dust into the air. Use non-sparking tools and equipment. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment as specified in section 8.
6.4 References to Other Sections
For disposal information see Section 13. For protective clothing and equipment see Section 8.
SECTION 7 - HANDLING AND STORAGE
7.1 Precautions for Safe Handling
Avoid contact and inhalation. Do not get in eyes, on skin, on clothing. Wash thoroughly after handling.
7.2 Conditions for Safe Storage (including any incompatibles)
Keep in a tightly closed container, stored in a cooled, dry, ventilated area away from sources of heat or ignition. Protect from physical damage. Isolate from incompatible materials (section 10). Avoid storage on wood floors.
Incompatibles
Reducing agents, organic material, sodium peroxide, water and powdered metals especially aluminum.
7.3 Specific End Uses
Investigational research by professional users
SECTION 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS
8.1 Control Parameters
ACGIH Threshold Limit Value (TLV):
5 mg/m3 (TWA)
OSHA Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL):
None established
8.2 Exposure Controls
Engineering Controls
A system of local and/or general exhaust is recommended to keep employee exposures below the Airborne Exposure Limits. Local exhaust ventilation is generally preferred because it can control the emissions of the contaminant at its source.
Respiratory Protection
If exposure limits are exceeded, wear a full-face respirator with organic vapor cartridge and high efficiency dust mist filter. Beyond fifty times exposure limits or when exposure levels are not known, wear a full-face piece positive pressure respirator.
Eye Protection
Use chemical safety goggles and/or a full face shield where contact is possible. Maintain eye wash fountain and quick-drench facilities in work area.
Skin Protection
Wear impervious protective clothing, including boots, gloves, lab coat, apron or coveralls, as appropriate, to prevent skin contact.
