General
Causes burns on contact. Harmful if swallowed. Causes severe skin burns and serious eye
damage. May cause respiratory irritation. Have product container/label with you when calling
poison control center/doctor, or going for treatment.
Inhalation
Remove person to fresh air and keep comfortable for breathing. If person is not breathing, call
911 or an ambulance, then give artificial respiration, preferably by mouth-to-mouth to an
unconscious person. If respiratory irritation, dizziness, or unconsciousness occurs, seek
immediate medical assistance.
Skin contact
Remove contaminated clothing and wash before reuse. Wash contaminated area with soap and
water for 15-20 minutes. Call a poison control center or doctor for treatment advice.
Eye contact
Hold eye open and rinse slowly and gently with water for 15-20 minutes. Remove contact
lenses, if present,
after first 5 minutes, then continue rinsing eye. Call a poison control center or doctor for
treatment advice.
Ingestion
Call a poison control center or doctor immediately for treatment advice. Have person sip a glass
of water if able to swallow. Do not induce vomiting unless told to do so by the poison control
center or doctor. Do not give anything by mouth to a person who is unconscious or convulsing. If
vomiting occurs, keep head below hips to reduce risk of aspiration. Probable mucosal damage
may contraindicate the use of gastric lavage.
General information
Note to physician, treat symptomatically.
Suitable extinguishing media
Foam, water spray or fog. Dry chemical powder, carbon dioxide, sand or earth may be used for
small fires only.
Unsuitable extinguishing media
Do not use water in a jet.
Specific hazards arising from
the chemical
No information available.
Special protective equipment
and precautions for firefighters
Fire-fighters should wear appropriate protective equipment and self-contained breathing
apparatus (SCBA) with a full face-piece operated in positive pressure mode.
Fire fighting
equipment/instructions
Promptly isolate the scene by removing all persons from the vicinity of the incident if there is a
fire. No action shall be taken involving any personal risk or without suitable training. Use water
spray to keep fire-exposed containers cool. Fire water contaminated with this material must be
contained and prevented from being discharged to any waterway, sewer or drain.
Specific methods
None
General fire hazards
None
Personal precautions,
protective equipment and
emergency procedures
Depending on the extent of release, consider the need for emergency responders with adequate
personal protective equipment for clean-up, need for evacuation or restriction of access to spill
area.
Personal Precautions: Provide adequate ventilation. Do not eat, drink or smoke during clean up.
If necessary, use self-contained respirator, or filtered mask. Wear protective clothing, eye
protection and impervious gloves (e.g. neoprene). Wash thoroughly after clean up.
Methods and materials for
Small spills may be wiped up and rinsed with water. For larger spills, neutralize with sodium
Mixtures
The product contains no substances which at their given concentration, are considered to be hazardous to health.

containment and cleaning up
carbonate or absorb on inert material (e.g. sand). Pick up absorbent and dispose of at an
appropriate waste disposal facility.
Environmental precautions
Prevent spills from entering storm sewers/drains or contact with soil.
Precautions for safe handling
Never use with chlorine products. Can react to give chlorine gas. If this occurs, flush toilet to
remove chemicals and leave area. Do not return for half hour. Ventilate if possible. Never use or
mix with other cleaners or chemicals. Do not use on any surface that can be damaged by acid
materials. Do not breathe mist/vapors. Wash hands, face and any skin contact thoroughly after
handling. Do not eat, drink or smoke when using this product. Wear protective gloves, protective
clothing, eye protection, face protection. Use product only according to label directions. If unsure
about safe use, contact your supervisor. Provide adequate ventilation in use.
Conditions for safe storage,
including any incompatibilities
Keep out of reach of children. Do not contaminate water, food or feed by storage and disposal.
Store locked up in tightly closed, original, corrosive resistant container in a cool (10˚ - 30˚C), dry,
well-ventilated area. Incompatible with alkali materials.

Eye/face protection
Chemical resistant goggles and face protection.
Skin protection
Hand
Chemical-resistant, impervious gloves complying with an approved standard should be worn at
all times when handling chemical products if a risk assessment indicates this is necessary.
Other
Protective clothing (long sleeves, pants), eyewash, safety shower are always advisable when
working with chemicals.
Respiratory protection
Respiratory protection is not necessary under normal conditions of use. If necessary to prevent
exposure above occupational limits, use an approved cartridge style respirator.
Thermal hazards
None.
General hygiene
considerations
Wash hands, forearms and face thoroughly after handling chemical products, before eating,
smoking and using the lavatory and at the end of the working period. Appropriate techniques
should be used to remove potentially contaminated clothing. Contaminated work clothing should
not be allowed out of the workplace. Wash contaminated clothing before reusing. Ensure that
eyewash stations and safety showers are close to the workstation location.
