EMERGENCY OVERVIEW

Appearance:   white crystalline powder. Danger! Corrosive. Hygroscopic. Causes eye and skin burns. May cause severe respiratory tract irritation with possible burns. May cause severe digestive tract irritation with possible burns.

Target Organs:   None.
POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS
Eye:   Causes eye burns.

Skin:   Causes skin burns.

Ingestion:   May cause severe and permanent damage to the digestive tract. Causes gastrointestinal tract burns.

Inhalation:   May cause severe irritation of the respiratory tract with sore throat, coughing, shortness of breath and delayed lung edema. Causes chemical burns to the respiratory tract.

Chronic:   No information found.

Eyes:   Get medical aid immediately. Do NOT allow victim to rub 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 soap and water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash clothing before reuse. 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 to fresh air immediately. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Do NOT use mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.

Notes to Physician:   Treat symptomatically and supportively.

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. Vapors may be heavier than air. They can spread along the ground and collect in low or confined areas.

Extinguishing Media:   In case of fire, use water, dry chemical, chemical foam, or alcohol-resistant foam. Do NOT get water inside containers.
Autoignition Temperature:   Not available.

Explosion Limits, lower:   N/A
Explosion Limits, upper:   N/A
NFPA Rating:   (estimated) Health: 3; Flammability: 0; Instability: 0

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. Sweep up, then place into a suitable container for disposal. Avoid generating dusty conditions. Provide ventilation. Do not get water inside containers.

Handling:   Wash hands before eating. Keep container tightly closed. Do not get on skin or in eyes. Do not ingest or inhale. Use with adequate ventilation. Wash clothing before reuse. Discard contaminated shoes. Keep from contact with moist air and steam.
Storage:   Keep container closed when not in use. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible substances. Corrosives area.

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.
