EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Appearance: white crystalline powder.
Danger! Harmful in contact with skin and if
swallowed. Causes burns by all exposure routes. Very toxic to
aquatic organisms. Hygroscopic (absorbs moisture from the air).
Target Organs: Respiratory system,
gastrointestinal system, eyes, skin.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Causes eye burns.
Skin:
Harmful if absorbed through the skin. Causes skin burns.
Ingestion:
Harmful if swallowed. Causes gastrointestinal tract burns. May cause
headache. May cause nausea and vomiting.
Inhalation:
Causes respiratory tract irritation. Causes chemical burns to the
respiratory tract. May be harmful if inhaled.
Chronic:
No information found.
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 imme
diately.
Skin:
Get medical aid immediately. Immediately flush skin with plenty of
water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing
and shoes.
Ingestion:
Do not induce vomiting. Get medical aid immediately. Call a poison
control center.
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 victim ingested or inhaled the
substance; induce artificial respiration with the aid of a pocket
mask equipped with a one-way valve or other proper respiratory
medical device.
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.
Extinguishing Media:
Use water spray to cool fire-exposed containers. Use foam, dry
chemical, or carbon dioxide.

Autoignition Temperature: Not available.
Explosion Limits, Lower:Not available.
Upper: Not available.
NFPA Rating:
(estimated) Health: 3; Flammability: 1; Instability: 1
Section 6 - Accidental Release Measures
|
General Information: Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated
in Section 8.
Spills/Leaks:
Vacuum or sweep up material and place into a suitable disposal
container. Wear a self contained breathing apparatus and appropriate
personal protection. (See Exposure Controls, Personal Protection
section). Avoid generating dusty conditions. Provide ventilation. Do
not let this chemical enter the environment.
Section 7 - Handling and Storage
|
Handling:
Minimize dust generation and accumulation. Do not get in eyes, on
skin, or on clothing. Do not ingest or inhale. Use only in a
chemical fume hood.
Storage:
Store in a cool, dry place. Store in a tightly closed container.
Corrosives area. Store protected from moisture.
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 only under a
chemical fume hood.
