EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Appearance: white solid.
May be harmful if swallowed. May cause central nervous system
effects. May cause respiratory and digestive tract irritation.
Contact with skin causes irritation and possible burns, especially if
the skin is wet or moist. Causes eye burns. May cause cardiac
disturbances. Warning!
Target Organs: Central nervous system,
cardiovascular system.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Contact with eyes may cause severe irritation, and possible eye
burns.
Skin:
May cause severe irritation and possible burns. Chronic ingestion
may cause dizziness, ringing in the ears, visual disturbances,
tremors, and mental confusion. Prolonged absorption may affect
electrolyte balance and impair kidney function. Dehydration, weight
loss, skin effects, and thyroid disturbances have been reported.
Ingestion:
May cause gastrointestinal irritation with nausea, vomiting and
diarrhea. May cause muscle tremor and impaired motor function. May
cause circulatory system failure. May cause cardiac disturbances. May
cause tremors and convulsions. May cause central nervous system
effects.
Inhalation:
May cause severe irritation of the upper respiratory tract with
pain, burns, and inflammation.
Chronic:
Chronic ingestion may cause dizziness, ringing in the ears, visual
disturbances, tremors, and mental confusion. Prolonged absorption may
affect electrolyte balance and impair kidney function. Dehydration,
weight loss, skin effects, and thyroid disturbances have been
reported.
Section 4 - First Aid Measures
|
Eyes:
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
water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing
and shoes. Wash clothing before reuse.
Ingestion:
Do not induce vomiting. If victim is conscious and alert, give 2-4
cupfuls of milk or water. Never give anything by mouth to an
unconscious person. Get medical aid immediately.
Inhalation:
Get medical aid immediately. Remove from exposure and move to fresh
air immediately. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Do NOT use
mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. If breathing has ceased apply
artificial respiration using oxygen and a suitable mechanical device
such as a bag and a mask.
Notes to Physician:
Treat symptomatically and supportively.
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. During a fire, irritating and highly toxic gases
may be generated by thermal decomposition or combustion. Use
extinguishing media appropriate to the surrounding fire. Substance is
noncombustible.
Extinguishing Media:
Substance is noncombustible; use agent most appropriate to
extinguish surrounding fire.
Flash Point: Not applicable.
Autoignition Temperature: Not applicable.

Upper: Not available.
NFPA Rating:
(estimated) Health: 2; Flammability: 0; Instability: 0
Section 6 - Accidental Release Measures
|
General Information: Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated
in Section 8.
Spills/Leaks:
Avoid runoff into storm sewers and ditches which lead to waterways.
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. Do not get on skin or in eyes. Do not
ingest or inhale. Discard contaminated shoes.
Storage:
Store in a tightly closed container. Store in a cool, dry,
well-ventilated area away from incompatible substances.
Section 8 - Exposure Controls, Personal Protection
|
Engineering Controls:
Facilities storing or utilizing this material should be equipped
with an eyewash facility and a safety shower. Use adequate general or
local exhaust ventilation to keep airborne concentrations below the
permissible exposure limits.
