[7664-93-9] [7732-18-5] PROPORTION >34% <66% HEALTH HAZARD INFORMATION HEALTH EFFECT Ingested Eye Contact Skin Contact Inhaled Chronic Health Effects Ingestion can be fatal. May kill or cause severe damage to mucous membranes, burns to the mouth, throat, oesophagus and stomach due to corrosive effect. Ingestion can result in abdominal pain. Severe irritation and burns due to corrosive effect. Contact can cause corneal burns. Permanent eye damage, including loss of sight may occur. Highly corrosive to skin. May cause irritation and severe burns with scarring. Irritation of the respiratory tract due to fumes when heated. Severe lung damage and poisoning is a possibility. Prolonged exposure to mists and vapours can cause erosion of teeth, chronic irritation of eyes, nose nd rd and throat, and chronic inflammation of airways. Can cause 2 and 3 degree burns of skin on contact and is very injurious to the eyes. FIRST AID Ingested No Fume Acid MSDS 11.05 Rinse mouth thoroughly with water immediately. Give the victim large quantities of water or milk to drink. DO NOT induce vomiting. Seek medical attention immediately. Page 1 of 3 Eye Contact Skin Contact Inhaled Facilities Flush eyes with water immediately for at least 15 minutes. Forcibly hold eyelids apart to ensure complete irrigation of all eye and lid tissue. Seek immediate medical attention. Avoid contact with this chemical. Remove affected clothing including footwear and wash affected area thoroughly copious quantities of water immediately. Treat skin and clothing with 1% sodium bicarbonate solution to neutralise acid residues. If irritation occurs, seek medical advice. Remove from exposure to fresh air at once. Keep victim warm and at rest. If breathing has stopped, perform artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, administer oxygen. Keep the victim warm and in a reclining position. Seek medical attention immediately. Ensure an eye bath and safety shower is available. ADVICE TO DOCTOR Treat symptomatically. Consult Poisons Information Centre. PRECAUTIONS FOR USE EXPOSURE STANDARDS 3 Exposure Standard: Time Weighted Average (TWA) = 1mg/m 3 Exposure Standard: Short Term Exposure Limit (STEL) = 3mg/m . ENGINEERING CONTROLS PRODUCT SHOULD BE USED IN WELL-VENTILATED AREA. HANDLING EQUIPMENT SHOULD BE CONSTRUCTED OF CORROSION RESISTANT MATERIALS. SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS MAY BE NEEDED FOR PROLONGED PERIODS OF EXPOSURE. PERSONAL PROTECTION USER SHOULD WEAR PROTECTIVE PVC GLOVES, OVERALLS, SPLASH APRON AND RUBBER BOOTS. SAFETY GLASSES, CHEMICAL GOGGLES OR FACE SHIELD SHOULD BE WORN AS APPROPRIATE. FIRE/EXPLOSION HAZARD THIS PRODUCT IS CONSIDERED NON-COMBUSTIBLE. CONTACT WITH MOISTURE/WATER OR STRONG ALKALIS MAY GENERTE HEAT. CONTACT WITH INTENSE HEAT MAY PRODUCE TOXIC GASES (OXIDES OF SULPHUR). CONTACT WITH METALS EVOLVES EXPLOSIVE HYDROGEN GAS. SAFE HANDLING INFORMATION STORAGE AND TRANSPORT STORE IN A WELL-VENTILATED AREA AWAY FROM OTHER CHEMICALS. STORAGE VESSEL SHOULD BE CONSTRUCTED OF A SUITABLY RESISTANT MATERIAL. SAFETY SHOWERS AND EYEWASH FACILITIES SHOULD BE AVAILABLE IN STORAGE AREAS. SPILLS AND DISPOSAL 1. 1. 2. 3. Move people away from area. Move upwind. Avoid contact with chemicals. Wear full protective clothing including a self-contained breathing apparatus. Contain leaks if possible using sand or earth. Prevent run-off into drains and waterways.
