EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Appearance: slightly beige powder.
Danger! Risk of explosion if heated under
confinement. Strong oxidizer. Contact with other material may cause
a fire. Causes eye, skin, and respiratory tract irritation. May be
harmful if swallowed.
Target Organs: Respiratory system, eyes, skin.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Causes eye irritation.
Skin:
May cause severe irritation and possible burns.
Ingestion:
May cause gastrointestinal irritation with nausea, vomiting and
diarrhea. The toxicological properties of this substance have not
been fully investigated. May be harmful if swallowed.
Inhalation:
The toxicological properties of this substance have not been fully
investigated. Causes irritation of the mucous membrane and upper
respiratory tract.
Chronic:
Effects may be delayed.
Section 4 - First Aid Measures
|
Eyes:
Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes,
occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Get medical aid.
Skin:
Get medical aid. Flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15
minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash clothing
before reuse.
Ingestion:
Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical
aid. Do NOT induce vomiting. If conscious and alert, rinse mouth and
drink 2-4 cupfuls of milk or water.
Inhalation:
Remove from exposure and move to fresh air immediately. If not
breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult,
give oxygen. Get medical aid.
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. Dusts at sufficient concentrations can form
explosive mixtures with air. During a fire, irritating and highly
toxic gases may be generated by thermal decomposition or combustion.
Oxidizer. Greatly increases the burning rate of combustible
materials. Ignites on contact with acetone or bases (e.g., ammonia;
aniline; diphenylamine).
Extinguishing Media:
Contact professional fire-fighters immediately. Use water spray, dry
chemical, carbon dioxide, or appropriate foam.
Flash Point: Not applicable.
Autoignition Temperature: 160 deg C ( 320.00 deg F)
Explosion Limits, Lower:Not available.
Upper: Not available.
NFPA Rating:
(estimated) Health: 2; Flammability: 1; Instability: 0; Special Hazard: OX
Section 6 - Accidental Release Measures
|
General Information: Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated
in Section 8.
Spills/Leaks:
Clean up spills immediately, observing precautions in the Protective
Equipment section. Cover with sand, dry lime or soda ash and place in
a closed container for disposal. Remove all sources of ignition.
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. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and
clothing. Avoid ingestion and inhalation. Use only in a chemical fume
hood. Keep from contact with clothing and other combustible
materials.
Storage:
Keep away from heat, sparks, and flame. Do not store near
combustible materials. Store in a cool, dry place. Keep container
closed when not in use. 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
ventilation to keep airborne concentrations low.
