EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Appearance: red-brown liquid.
Danger! Corrosive. Causes eye and skin burns.
Water-reactive. Reacts violently and/or explosively with water,
steam or moisture. Harmful if swallowed. May ignite or explode on
contact with moist air. May cause severe respiratory tract
irritation with possible burns. May cause severe digestive tract
irritation with possible burns.
Target Organs: Respiratory system,
gastrointestinal system, eyes, skin.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Causes eye burns. May result in corneal injury. May cause
blindness.
Skin:
Causes skin burns. Causes redness and pain.
Ingestion:
May cause severe and permanent damage to the digestive tract. Poison
by ingestion. Causes gastrointestinal tract burns.
Inhalation:
May cause irritation of the respiratory tract with burning pain in
the nose and throat, coughing, wheezing, shortness of breath and
pulmonary edema. Causes chemical burns to the respiratory tract.
Inhalation may be fatal as a result of spasm, inflammation, edema of
the larynx and bronchi, chemical pneumonitis and pulmonary edema.
Chronic:
No information found.
Section 4 - First Aid Measures
|
Eyes:
Get medical aid immediately. Do NOT allow victim to rub eyes or keep
eyes closed. Extensive irrigation with water is required (at least 30
minutes).
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. Remove contaminated clothing
and shoes. Destroy contaminated shoes.
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. Water
reactive. Material will react with water and may release a flammable
and/or toxic gas. Substance is noncombustible. Vapors may be heavier
than air. They can spread along the ground and collect in low or
confined areas. May ignite or explode on contact with steam or moist
air.
Extinguishing Media:
Use dry sand or earth to smother fire. DO NOT USE WATER! Do NOT get
water inside containers. Contact professional fire-fighters
immediately. Cool containers with flooding quantities of water until
well after fire is out. For small fires, use dry chemical or carbon
dioxide. For large fires, flood fire area with large quantities of
water, while knocking down vapors with water fog.

NFPA Rating:
(estimated) Health: 3; Flammability: 0; Instability: 2; Special Hazard: -W-
Section 6 - Accidental Release Measures
|
General Information: Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated
in Section 8.
Spills/Leaks:
Absorb spill with inert material (e.g. vermiculite, sand or earth),
then place in suitable container. Clean up spills immediately,
observing precautions in the Protective Equipment section. Provide
ventilation. Do not expose spill to water.
Section 7 - Handling and Storage
|
Handling:
Do not allow water to get into the container because of violent
reaction. Do not breathe dust, mist, or vapor. Do not get in eyes,
on skin, or on clothing. Keep container tightly closed. Do not ingest
or inhale. Do not allow contact with water. Use only in a chemical
fume hood. Discard contaminated shoes.
Storage:
Keep container closed when not in use. Store in a tightly closed
container. Keep under a nitrogen blanket. Store in a cool, dry,
well-ventilated area away from incompatible substances. Keep away
from water. Corrosives area.
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.
