2. HAZARD(S) IDENTIFICATION:
NFPA Hazard Rating (HMIS / NFPA): (Scale 0-4)
HEALTH: 1 FLAMMABILITY: 0 REACTIVITY: 0 PERSONAL PROTECTION: B
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW:
APPEARANCE: White crystalline or granulated solid
ODOR: None
REACTIVITY: Reacts with water to create heat (calcium chloride)
PRIMARY ROUTE OF ENTRY: Skin Contact
POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS:
EYE: May cause moderate to severe eye irritation with corneal injury, which may be slow to heal. When
dissolving, the heat produced may cause more intense effects as well as thermal burns.
SKIN CONTACT: Short single exposure not likely to cause significant skin irritation. Prolonged or
repeated exposure may cause skin irritation, even a burn. May cause more severe response if skin is damp
and/or abraded, or if material is confined to skin. When dissolving, the heat produced may cause more
intense effects as well as thermal burns. DOT classification: Non-corrosive.
SKIN ABSORPTION: A single prolonged exposure is not likely to result in the material being absorbed
through the skin in harmful amounts. The LD50 skin absorption in rabbits is > 5000 mg/kg.
INGESTION: Single dose oral toxicity is low. The oral LD50 for rats is in the range of 900-2100 mg/kg for
calcium chloride in a 100% basis. Ingestion may cause gastrointestinal irritation or ulceration. Small
amounts swallowed incidental to normal handling operations are not likely to cause injury; swallowing
amounts larger than that may cause injury.
INHALATION: Vapors are unlikely due to physical properties. Dust may cause irritation to upper
respiratory tract.

SYSTEMIC (OTHER TARGET ORGAN) EFFECTS: Results of in vitro mutagenicity tests have been

carcinogens for hazard communication purposes.

4. FIRST AID MEASURES
EYES: Irrigate with flowing water immediately and continuously for 15 minutes. Consult medical personnel.
SKIN: Wash off in flowing water or shower.
INGESTION: If swallowed, induce vomiting immediately as directed by medical personnel. Call a physician.
(Never give anything by mouth or attempt to induce vomiting in an unconscious person.)
INHALATION: Remove to fresh air if effects occur. Consult a physician.
NOTE TO PHYSICIAN: If burn is present, treat as any thermal burn, after decontamination. No specific
antidote. Supportive care. Treatment based on judgment of the physician in response to reaction of the
patient.
5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES:
FIRE & EXPLOSION HAZARD: Negligible fire hazard when exposed to heat or flame.
EXTINGUISING MEDIA: This material does not burn. If exposed to fire from another source, use a
suitable, non-combustible, extinguishing agent for that fire.
FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES: Keep people away. Isolate fire and deny unnecessary entry. This
material does not burn. Fight fire for other material that is burning. Water should be applied in large
quantities as a fine spray.
SPECIAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT FOR FIREFIGHTERS: Wear positive-pressure, self-containing
breathing apparatus (SCBA) and protective fire fighting clothing (includes fire fighting helmet, coat, trousers,
boots and gloves). Avoid contact with this material during fire fighting operations. If contact is likely, change
to full chemical resistant fire fighting clothing with self-containing breathing apparatus and fight fire from a
remote location.
