SECTION - 3 HAZARDS INFORMATION
Primary Route(s) of Entry: Skin contact and inhalation
Signs and Symptoms of Overexposure: Gastrointestinal
irritation (nausea, vomiting, diarrhea), irritation to nose,
throat, and respiratory tract.
Target Organ Effects: Overexposure to this material (or its
components) has been suggested as a cause of the
following effects in laboratory animals and may aggravate
pre-existing disorders or these organs in humans:
Lungs, Skin and Eyes
IMMEDIATE HEALTH EFFECTS
EYES: Corrosive. Vapors are irritating and may cause
damage to eyes. Contact may cause severe burns and
permanent eye damage
SKIN: Corrosive. Causes chemical burns. Harmful contact
may not cause immediate pain.
INHALATION: Corrosive! Inhalation of vapors can cause
coughing, choking, inflammation of the nose, throat, and
upper respiratory tract, and in severe cases, pulmonary
edema, circulatory failure, and death.
INGESTION: Corrosive! Harmful or fatal if swallowed.
Causes chemical burns to the mouth, throat and stomach.
REPRODUCTIVE / DEVELOPMENTAL INFORMATION
No Data
CARCINOGENIC INFORMATION: This material is not listed
as a carcinogen by IARC, NTP, or OSHA
LONG TERM EFFECTS: Long term exposure to
concentrated vapor may cause erosion of teeth. Long term
exposure seldom occur due to the corrosive properties of the
acid.

immediately. Drink large quantities of water. Never give
anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
EYES: Rinse immediately with water. Quickly remove
contact lenses; then flush eyes with water for 15 minutes.
SKIN: Remove contaminated clothing. Flush skin with water
for 15 minutes. Then, Call Poison control center or physician
at once.
Flash Point Explosive limits

Not Applicable Hydrofluoric Acid and Ammonia
Extinguishing Media Fire Fighting Instructions
Not Applicable Avoid contact with this material.
Avoid walking in spilled
material. Wear protective
clothing for skin and eyes
Small Spill: Absorb with an inert solid and scoop up for
disposal, then rinse soiled area with water down the drain.
Large Spill: Stop leak at the source and collect into a
suitable container, then treat as a small spill.
Handling: Containers of this material may be hazardous
when emptied. Since emptied containers retain product
residues (vapor, liquid, and/or solid), all hazard precautions
given in the data sheet must be observed.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Keep container closed
when not in use.
Eye Protection: Chemical Splash goggle in compliance with
OSHA regulations are advised: however , OSHA
regulations also permit other type safety glasses. Consult
your safety representative.
Skin Protection: Wear rubber gloves (consult your safety
equipment supplier). To prevent repeated or prolonged skin
contact, wear impervious clothing and boots.
Respiratory Protection: If workplace exposure limits of
product or any component are exceeded (see exposure
guidelines), NIOSH/OSHA approved air supplied respirator is
advised in the absence of proper environmental control.
OSHA relations also permit other NIOSH/OSHA respirators
(negative pressure type) under specific conditions (see your
industrial hygienist). Engineering or administrative controls
should be implemented to reduce exposure.
Engineering Controls: Provide sufficient mechanical
(general and local exhaust) ventilation to maintain exposure
below level of overexposure (from known, suspected or
apparent adverse effects).
