Ingredients:

Ingestion: Immediately rinse mouth with water. If swallowed do not induce vomiting. Give water to drink. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Seek immediate medical aid immediately.

Eye Contact: Immediately flush eyes with large amounts of water for at least 15 minutes while holding eyelids open. Transport to the nearest medical facility for additional treatment. Do not rub eyes or keep eyes closed.

Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing. Flush exposed area with water and follow by washing with soap if available.

Inhalation: Remove the affected person out to a ventilated area. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Seek medical attention.

Extinguishing Media: Use dry chemical powder, foam, polymer foam, and water spray or fog type extinguishers. Water may be ineffective on fire. However, water spray may be used to extinguish fires and to absorb heat. Keep containers cool and protect exposed material. If a leak or spill has not ignited, water spray may be used to flush spills away from exposures.

Hazards from Combustion Products: Not combustible. However, following evaporation of aqueous component, residual material can burn if ignited. While burning, it will emit toxic fumes including carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide.

Precautions for Fire Fighters and Special Protective Equipment:

• Alert fire brigade and tell them location and nature of hazard.
• Wear breathing apparatus plus protective gloves.
• Prevent, by any means available, spillage from entering drains or water courses.
• Use fire fighting procedure suitable for surrounding area.
• Use water delivered as a fine spray to control the fire and cool adjacent area.
• Fire fighters to wear self-contained breathing apparatus if risk of exposure to vapour or products of combustion as well as structural fire fighter uniform.

Emergency Precautions: Personnel involved in the clean up should wear full protective clothing. Evacuate all unnecessary personnel. Increase ventilation. Avoid walking through spilled product as it may be slippery. Stop leak if safe to do so. Do not let product reach drain or waterways; advise the Environmental Protection Authority or your local Waste Management. Use clean, non-sparking tools and equipment.

Methods and Materials for Containment and Clean Up: Soak up spilled product using absorbent, non-combustible material such as sand or soil. Avoid using sawdust or cellulose. When saturated, collect material into suitable, labelled, dry, sealable containers and hold for safe disposal. Once pick-up is complete, flush spill site with plenty of water to eliminate any residue. Hold contaminated water for treatment/disposal.

Handling: Wash thoroughly after handling. Use only in a well ventilated area. Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing. Empty containers retain product and residue (liquid or vapour), and can be dangerous. Keep container tightly closed. Always wash hands before smoking, eating or using the toilet. Wash contaminated clothing and other protective equipment before storage or re-use. Do not dispose of material to sewers or waterways.

Storage: Store in a tightly closed container. Keep from contact with oxidizing agents. Store in cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible substances. Keep containers closed at all times, check regularly for leaks.

Exposure Standards: The Occupational Safety and Health Service, NZ Department of Labour have set no Tolerable Exposure Limit (TEL) Workplace Exposure Standards (WES) for this substance.

Biological Limit Values: None established.

Engineering Controls: The use of local exhaust ventilation is recommended to control process emissions near the source. Laboratory samples should be handled in a fume hood. Provide mechanical ventilation of confined spaces. Use explosion proof ventilation equipment.

Personal Protective Equipment:

Respiratory Protection: Where concentration in air may exceed the limits described in the National Exposure Standards, it is recommended to use a half face filter mask to protect from overexposure by inhalation. A type u201cAu201d filter material is considered suitable for this product.

Eye Protection: Always use safety glasses or a face shield when handling this product.

Skin/Body Protection: Always wear long sleeves and long trousers or coveralls, enclosed footwear or safety boots and chemical resistant gloves when manufacturing this product.

No adverse health effects expected if the product is handled in accordance with the safety data sheet. Symptoms or effects that may arise if the product is mishandled and overexposure occurs are detailed below.

Acute Effects

Ingestion: Small amounts of liquid aspirated into lungs during ingestion, or from vomiting. Ingestion of large amounts of this product will result in headaches, nausea, dizziness and tracheal burning.

Eye Contact: This product is irritating and causes pain followed by swelling to the conjunctiva.

Skin Contact: This product is irritating to skin.

Inhalation: Irritating to respiratory tract. Exposure to high concentrations over an extended period of time may result in muscle weakness, tingling in hands and feet, blurred vision, headaches, nausea, loss of appetite, hallucinations and possible loss of consciousness.

Chronic Health Effects: Repeated or prolonged exposure to corrosives may result in the erosion of teeth, inflammatory and ulcerative changes in the mouth and necrosis (rarely) of the jaw. Bronchial irritation, with cough, and frequent attacks of bronchial pneumonia may ensue. Limited evidence suggests that repeated or long-term occupational exposure may produce cumulative health effects involving organs or biochemical systems.

Toxicity and Irritation: Asthma-like symptoms may continue for months or even years after exposure to the material ceases. This may be due to a non-allergenic condition known as reactive airways dysfunction syndrome (RADS) which can occur following exposure to high levels of highly irritating compound. The material may produce severe irritation to the eye causing pronounced inflammation. Repeated or prolonged exposure to irritants may produce conjunctivitis. The material may produce severe skin irritation after prolonged or repeated exposure, and may produce a contact dermatitis (non-allergic). This form of dermatitis is often characterized by skin redness (erythema) and thickening of the epidermis. <</>
