SECTION 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES

This product contains approximately 2% free hydrofluoric acid (HF). Solutions of 2% or less hydrofluoric acid can cause burns. First

aid techniques for treatment of hydrofluoric acid exposures are unique. Even low levels of exposure to HF require a rapid response and

the use of calcium (most commonly calcium gluconate solutions or gels) to scavenge and neutralize the fluoride ion. Effects may be
delayed, so treatment should be given even if exposure is suspected.

4.1 Description of first aid measures
Inhalation:

start artificial respiration by trained personnel. Do not use mouth-to-mouth method if the victim inhaled this product; give artificial respiration with
the aid of a pocket mask equipped with a one-way valve or other proper respiratory medical device. If unconscious, maintain an open airway.
Loosen tight fitting clothing such as a collar, tie, belt or waistband. Get Immediate medical attention. Calcium gluconate 2.5% in normal saline may
be given by nebulizer with oxygen. If unavailable, four calcium gluconate (500 mg) tablets should be given by mouth every two hours until the
victim is admitted to the hospital.

Eyes: Immediately flush eyes with large amounts of water for at least 20 minutes, keeping eyelids apart and away from the eyeball. Remove

contact lenses, if present and easy to do, after the first 2 minutes and continue rinsing. Immediately contact a doctor, preferably an ophthalmologist.
If a doctor is not immediately available, apply one or two drops of 0.5% tetracaine hydrochloride solution or other topical ophthalmic anesthetic and
continue irrigation. Do not use skin treatment preparations for burns for the eyes. Use no oils or greases unless instructed to do so by a doctor.
Irrigate with 1% calcium gluconate in normal saline for one to two hours to prevent or lessen corneal damage.

Skin:

Apply and continually massage calcium gluconate gel (2.5%) into the burn area with gloved fingers until the pain is relieved. Use of local pain
killers (anesthetics) is not recommended as reduction in pain is an indicator of the effectiveness of the treatment. Seek immediate medical
attention. For large or severe burns four calcium gluconate (500 mg) tablets should be given by mouth every two hours, until the victim receives
medical care.

Ingestion:

vomiting. Give 3 - 4 glasses of water to drink if the victim is conscious and alert and able to swallow. Give four calcium gluconate (500 mg) tablets
every two hours; if not available, give the victim milk or milk of magnesia. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious or convulsing person.

Do not leave the victim unattended. To prevent aspiration of swallowed material lay the victim on one side with the head lower than the waist.

4.2 Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed

Potential health symptoms and effects
Eyes:

blindness.

Skin:

swelling. Effects of skin contact may not be immediate and contact may not be painful at first. Severe burns can occur if treatment is delayed after
exposure. Burns may appear stable only to get much worse several hours after exposure. Dilute solutions may have a reduced effect. May be
toxic if absorbed through the skin. May cause hypocalcemia and other toxic effects.

Inhalation:

Aspiration of product during vomiting may cause pulmonary edema and pneumonitis (fluid on the lungs and inflammation of the lungs). Breathing
difficulties that may be delayed in onset.

Ingestion: Causes burns to the mouth, mucous membranes, throat, esophagus and stomach. May cause perforation of the stomach and

esophagus. May be toxic if swallowed. Symptoms may include nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain and diarrhea, difficulty breathing, swelling of the

throat, unconsciousness, coma and possible heart failure. Ingestion may also result in the fluoride ion binding with calcium to produce abnormally
low levels of serum calcium (hypocalcaemia), which will impair many necessary physiological functions in the body (e.g. muscle contractions).
Systemic toxicity is likely to occur unless medical treatment is immediate.

Chronic:

of weight, anemia and dental defects. Repeated or prolonged exposures may cause sore throat, nosebleeds and chronic bronchitis. Chronic
inhalation may cause hypocalcemia with nervous problems (tetany) and cardiac arrhythmia (reduced calcium levels, spasms and irregular heart
beat).

4.3 Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed

Advice to Doctor and Hospital Personnel

First aid and medical treatment must be specific for Hydrofluoric Acid Solutions. The damage caused by this product is far more extensive

than that caused by solutions of hydrochloric or other acids. Hydrofluoric Acid penetrates deeply and rapidly below fat layers, binding and depleting
tissue calcium. Failure to start or provide correct medical treatment may be fatal.

Move the exposed person to fresh air immediately. If breathing is difficult or irregular, administer oxygen; if respiratory arrest occurs,

Flush skin with large amounts of water while removing contaminated clothing using PVC gloves and continue rinsing for at least 15 minutes.

Get immediate medical assistance. Rinse mouth with water if the victim is conscious. Remove dentures if any. DO NOT induce

Causes serious burns to the eyes. Symptoms include pain, redness, swelling and tearing. May cause permanent eye damage, including

Causes skin irritation and burns to the skin. Skin exposures can cause symptoms ranging from minor skin irritation to painful redness and

Harmful if inhaled. Causes irritation to the nose, throat and respiratory tract. Symptoms may include headache, chest pains and cough.

Prolonged or repeated skin contact may lead to necrosis of the skin. Chronic fluoride poisoning can cause severe bone changes, loss

5.2 Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture

Unusual fire and explosion hazards:

alkalis. Potential sources of ignition should be removed from the area. Closed containers may explode due to the buildup of pressure when

exposed to extreme heat.

Hazardous decomposition products:

in this product may evaporate, leaving a residue that may combust, producing corrosive fumes of fluorides as well as carbon monoxide and other
unidentifiable organic compounds. Symptoms may not be immediately apparent or may be delayed. Obtain medical attention immediately.

Explosion hazards:

5.3 Advice for firefighters

Wear full protective equipment including self-contained breathing apparatus, a full acid resistant suit, PVC gloves and enclosed footwear. Water

may be used to cool closed containers to prevent pressure build-up and possible autoignition or explosion when exposed to extreme heat. Water

contaminated by this material must be contained from being discharged to any waterway, sewer or drain to prevent environmental contamination.

Release of hydrogen gas during a fire can form explosive mixtures with air, especially in confined spaces.

Solution may release hydrogen fluoride when heated. Releases ammonia when solution is mixed with

SECTION 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

6.1 Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures

Wear appropriate protective clothing designated in Section 8. Evacuate non-essential personnel. Remove all sources of ignition. Good ventilation

is necessary. Discharged material may produce hydrogen fluoride fumes. Spills should be cleaned up promptly to avoid damage to surrounding

materials.

6.2 Environmental precautions

Avoid dispersal of spilled material or runoff and prevent contact with soil and entry into drains, sewers or waterways.

6.3 Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up

Approach the release from upwind. Cover drains and contain spill. Avoid drainage to areas that cannot be treated. Cover with a large quantity of
non-combustible, inert absorbent (e.g. sand, vermiculite, diatomaceous earth). DO NOT use combustible absorbent such as sawdust. DO NOT
use combustible absorbent such as sawdust. Collect using non-sparking tools and place into an approved container for proper disposal. Observe

possible material restrictions (Sections 7.2, 10.5 and 13). Dispose of via a licensed waste disposal contractor. Contaminated absorbent material

poses the same hazard as the spilt product.
