EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Appearance: Transparent, clear or yellowish liquid.
DANGER! CORROSIVE, STRONG OXIDIZER, CONTACT WITH OTHER MATERIAL
MAY CAUSE A FIRE. CAUSES EYE AND SKIN BURNS. CAUSES DIGESTIVE AND RESPIRATORY TRACT BURNS.
Target Organs: None.
- Eye:
- Causes severe eye burns. May cause irreversible eye injury.
- Skin:
- May cause severe skin irritation. Causes skin burns. May cause deep, penetrating ulcers of the skin.
- Ingestion:
- Causes gastrointestinal tract burns. May cause perforation of the digestive tract.
- Inhalation:
- May be fatal if inhaled. Effects may be delayed. May cause irritation of the respiratory tract with burning pain in the nose and throat, coughing, wheezing, shortness of breath and pulmonary edema.
- Chronic:
- Repeated inhalation may cause chronic bronchitis. Repeated exposure may cause erosion of teeth.
- Eyes:
- Flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, occasionally lifting the upper and lower lids. Get medical aid immediately. Do NOT allow victim to rub or keep eyes closed.
- Skin:
- Flush skin with plenty of soap and water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Get medical aid if irritation develops or persists. Wash clothing before reuse.
- Ingestion:
- DO NOT induce vomiting and seek IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ADVICE.
- Inhalation:
- Remove from exposure 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.
- ntidote:
- No specific antidote exists.
- General Information:
- As in any fire, wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and full protective gear. Strong oxidizer. Contact with combustible materials may cause a fire. Use water spray to keep fire-exposed containers cool. Substance is noncombustible.
- Extinguishing Media:
- Substance is noncombustible; use agent most appropriate to extinguish surrounding fire.
- Autoignition Temperature:
- Not available.
- Flash Point:
- Not available.
- NFPA Rating:
- NFPA Rating: Not published
- Explosion Limits:
- Lower: Not available.
Upper: Not available.
- General Information:
- Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated in Section 8.
- Spills/Leaks:
- Absorb spill with inert material, (e.g., dry sand or earth), then place into a chemical waste container. Wear a self contained breathing apparatus and appropriate Personal protection. (See Exposure Controls, Personal Protection section). Neutralize spill with sodium bicarbonate. Use water spray to disperse the gas/vapor.
- Handling:
- Wash thoroughly after handling. Remove contaminated clothing an wash before reuse. Use with adequate ventilation. Do not get on skin or in eyes. Do not ingest or inhale.
- Storage:
- Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible substances.
- Storage Code:
- Yellow
- Engineering Controls:
- Use adequate general or local exhaust ventilation to keep airborne concentrations below the permissible exposure limits.
