POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS
INHALATION: Breathing concentrated vapors may cause irritation of respiratory tract.
SKIN: Prolonged contact may cause irritation.
EYES: Contact with eyes is painful and irritating and may cause severe irritation.
INGESTION: May cause gastric distress, vomiting and diarrhea.
CARCINOGENICITY No No NoIARC MONOGRAPHS? OSHA REGULATED?NTP?
SECTION 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES
INHALATION: Remove affected person to fresh air; wash mouth and nasal passages with water repeatedly; if breathing difficulties persist seek medical attention.
SKIN: Wash contacted area with soap and water; DO NOT attempt to neutralize with chemical agents; if irritation persists, seek medical attention.
EYES: Check for and remove contact lenses. Immediately flush eyes for 15 minutes in clear running water while holding eyelids open; seek medical attention immediately.
INGESTION: Drink large quantities of water or milk; DO NOT induce vomiting; never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person; seek medical attention immediately.
SECTION 5 - FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
GENERAL HAZARDS: Product is alkaline. Products of combustion include compounds of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen, including carbon monoxide.
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA Carbon dioxide, water, water fog, dry chemical, chemical foam.
FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES Keep containers cool with water spray to prevent container rupture due to steam buildup; floor will become slippery if material is released. Material is alkaline and will irritate the eyes if product is allowed to directly contact the eyes.
NoneUNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS
HAZARDOUS COMBUSTION PRODUCTS Smoke, fumes or vapors, oxides of carbon.
SECTION 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
STEPS TO BE TAKEN IN CASE MATERIAL IS RELEASED OR SPILLED: Material is alkaline and will irritate the eyes if product is allowed to directly contact the eyes. Wash small spills to sanitary sewer. Confine large spill, soak up with approved absorbent, shovel product into approved container; for spills in excess of allowable quantities (RQ) notify the National Response Center (800) 424 - 8802; refer to SARA Title III, Section 313 40 CFR 372, and CERCLA 40 CFR 302 for detailed instructions concerning reporting requirements.
SECTION 7 - HANDLING AND STORAGE
PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN IN HANDLING AND STORAGE: Keep container closed when not in use; protect containers from abuse; protect from extreme temperatures. Keep this and other chemicals out of reach of children.
