EMERGENCY OVERVIEWVERY TOXIC BY INHALATION, IN CONTACT WITH SKIN AND IF SWALLOWED. POSSIBLE RISK OF HARM TO THE UNBORN CHILD. CAUSES BURNS. TOXIC: DANGER OF SERIOUS DAMAGE TO HEALTH BY PROLONGED EXPOSURE IN CONTACT WITH SKIN AND IF SWALLOWED. READILY ABSORBED THROUGH SKIN. TARGET ORGAN(S):KIDNEYS, NERVES. IN CASE OF ACCIDENT OR IF YOU FEEL UNWELL, SEEK MEDICAL ADVICE IMMEDIATELY (SHOW THE LABEL WHERE POSSIBLE). IN CASE OF CONTACT WITH EYES, RINSE IMMEDIATELY WITH PLENTY OF WATER AND SEEK MEDICAL ADVICE. WEAR SUITABLE PROTECTIVE CLOTHING, GLOVES AND EYE/FACE PROTECTION.DO NOT BREATHE DUST.
IN CASE OF CONTACT, IMMEDIATELY FLUSH EYES OR SKIN WITH COPIOUS AMOUNTS OF WATER FOR AT LEAST 15 MINUTES WHILE REMOVING CONTAMINATED CLOTHING AND SHOES. IF INHALED, REMOVE TO FRESH AIR. IF NOT BREATHING GIVE ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION. IF BREATHING IS DIFFICULT, GIVE OXYGEN. ASSURE ADEQUATE FLUSHING OF THE EYES BY SEPARATING THE EYELIDS WITH FINGERS.
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: NON COMBUSTIBLE. USE EXTINGUISHING MEDIA APPROPRIATE TO SURROUNDING FIRE CONDITIONS. SPECIAL FIREFIGHTING PROCEDURES: WEAR SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS AND PROTECTIVE CLOTHING TO PREVENT CONTACT WITH SKIN AND EYES.UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSIONS HAZARDS: EMITS TOXIC FUMES UNDER FIRE CONDITIONS.
EVACUATE AREA. WEAR SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS, RUBBER BOOTS AND HEAVY RUBBER GLOVES. WEAR DISPOSABLE COVERALLS AND DISCARD THEM AFTER USE. SWEEP UP, PLACE IN A BAG AND HOLD FOR WASTE DISPOSAL. AVOID RAISING DUST.
REFER TO SECTION 8.
WEAR APPROPRIATE NIOSH/MSHA-APPROVED RESPIRATOR, CHEMICAL-RESISTANT GLOVES, SAFETY GOGGLES, OTHER PROTECTIVE CLOTHING. SAFETY SHOWER AND EYE BATH. USE ONLY IN A CHEMICAL FUME HOOD.DO NOT BREATHE DUST. DO NOT GET IN EYES, ON SKIN, ON CLOTHING. AVOID PROLONGED OR REPEATED EXPOSURE.WASH THOROUGHLY AFTER HANDLING. WASH CONTAMINATED CLOTHING BEFORE REUSE. DISCARD CONTAMINATED SHOES. CORROSIVE. KEEP TIGHTLY CLOSED. STORE IN A COOL DRY PLACE.

SECTION 11 – TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION |
ACUTE EFFECTS: MAY BE FATAL IF INHALED, SWALLOWED, OR ABSORBED THROUGH SKIN. MATERIAL IS EXTREMELY DESTRUCTIVE TO TISSUE OF THE MUCOUS MEMBRANES AND UPPER RESPIRATORY TRACT, EYES AND SKIN. INHALATION MAY RESULT IN SPASM, INFLAMMATION AND EDEMA OF THE LARYNX AND BRONCHI, CHEMICAL PNEUMONITIS AND PULMONARY EDEMA. SYMPTOMS OF EXPOSURE MAY INCLUDE BURNING SENSATION, COUGHING, WHEEZING, LARYNGITIS, SHORTNESS OF BREATH, HEADACHE, NAUSEA AND VOMITING. PROLONGED EXPOSURE CAN CAUSE: STOMACH PAINS, VOMITING, DIARRHEA. MAY CAUSE NERVOUS SYSTEM DISTURBANCES. CHRONIC EFFECTS OVER EXPOSURE MAY CAUSE REPRODUCTIVE DISORDER(S) BASED ON TESTS WITH LABORATORY ANIMALS. TARGET ORGAN(S):KIDNEYS, NERVES ONLY SELECTED REGISTRY OF TOXIC EFFECTS OF CHEMICAL SUBSTANCES (RTECS) DATA IS PRESENTED HERE. SEE ACTUAL ENTRY IN RTECS FOR COMPLETE INFORMATION.
