4. FIRST AID MEASURES
First aid measures
General adviceImmediate medical attention is required. NOTE: The effect of Hydrofluoric Acid (HF), i.e.
the onset of pain, particularly in dilute solutions, may not be felt for up to 24 hours. It is
important that workers have immediate access to the antidote (calcium gluconate) both on
and off the worksite in order to apply it as soon as possible.
Skin Contact
Eye contact
Inhalation
Immediate medical attention is required. Wash off immediately with soap and plenty of
water while removing all contaminated clothes and shoes. For minor skin contact, avoid
spreading material on unaffected skin. For severe burns, immediate medical attention is
required. Immediately apply calcium gluconate gel 2.5 % and massage into the affected
area using rubber gloves; continue to massage while repeatedly applying gel until 15
minutes after pain is relieved. Alternately, immerse the burned area in a solution of 0.2%
iced aqueous Hyamine 1622 or 0.13% iced aqueous Zephiran Chloride. If
finger/fingernails are touched, even if there is no pain, dip them in a bath of 5% calcium
gluconate for 15 to 20 minutes. Consult a physician immediately in all cases of skin contact
no matter how minor.
Keep eye wide open while rinsing. Immediate medical attention is required. Rinse
immediately with plenty of water, also under the eyelids, for at least 15 minutes. Do not rub
affected area. Immediately flush with plenty of water. After initial flushing, remove any
contact lenses and continue flushing for at least 15 minutes. Rinse the eyes with a calcium
gluconate 1% solution for 10 minutes. In the case of difficulty opening the lids, administer
an analgesic eyewash. Do not use oily drops, ointment, or HF skin burn treatments.
Consult an ophthalmologist or eye specialist and physician immediately in all cases. Take
to a hospital immediately.
Remove to fresh air. Call a physician or poison control center immediately. If not breathing,
give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Remove the subject from the
contaminated area as soon as possible. Transport subject lying down, with the head higher
than the body, to a quiet, uncontaminated and well ventilated location. Administer oxygen
(2.5% calcium gluconate if available, can be oxygen nebulized with trained personnel) or
cardiopulmonary resuscitation if necessary and as soon as possible. If patient is
unconscious, give artificial respiration. Note: Mouth to mouth resuscitation is not
recommended. Keep warm (blanket). Consult physician in all cases. Take to a hospital.

Self-protection of the first aider
Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed
Symptoms
Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed
Note to physicians
Do NOT induce vomiting. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Drink
plenty of water. Immediate medical attention is required. Remove from exposure, lie down.
Clean mouth with water and drink afterwards plenty of water. Call a physician or poison
control center immediately. When directed by physician, give orally either 1% aqueous
calcium gluconate solution, milk or calcium/magnesium containing anti-acid. Such solutions
can be beneficial but also may be problematic if they induce vomiting.
Use personal protective equipment as required. Avoid contact with skin, eyes or clothing.
Do not use mouth-to-mouth method if victim ingested or inhaled the substance; give
artificial respiration with the aid of a pocket mask equipped with a one-way valve or other
proper respiratory medical device. Note: Mouth to mouth resuscitation is notrecommended..
Any additional important symptoms and effects are described in Section 11: Toxicology
Information.
Product is a corrosive material. Use of gastric lavage or emesis is contraindicated.
Possible perforation of stomach or esophagus should be investigated. Do not give
chemical antidotes. Asphyxia from glottal edema may occur. Marked decrease in blood
pressure may occur with moist rales, frothy sputum, and high pulse pressure. Treat
symptomatically.
5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES
Suitable extinguishing media
Use extinguishing measures that are appropriate to local circumstances and the surrounding environment.
Unsuitable extinguishing media
Caution: Use of water spray when fighting fire may be inefficient.
The product causes burns of eyes, skin and mucous membranes. Thermal decomposition can lead to release of irritating and toxic
gases and vapors. In the event of fire and/or explosion do not breathe fumes.

Protective equipment and precautions for firefighters
As in any fire, wear self-contained breathing apparatus pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent) and full
protective gear.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
Personal precautions
Use personal protective equipment as required. Evacuate personnel to safe areas. Avoid
contact with skin, eyes or clothing. Keep people away from and upwind of spill/leak.

released into the environment. Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. Prevent
product from entering drains.
Methods and material for containment and cleaning up
Methods for containment
Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. Cover powder spill with plastic sheet or
tarp to minimize spreading. Dike far ahead of liquid spill for later disposal.
Methods for cleaning up
Dike far ahead of liquid spill for later disposal. Soak up with inert absorbent material. Take
up mechanically, placing in appropriate containers for disposal. Clean contaminated surface
thoroughly. Prevent product from entering drains. Dam up. After cleaning, flush away traces
with water.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Precautions for safe handling
Advice on safe handling
Avoid contact with skin, eyes or clothing. Use personal protective equipment as required.

wear suitable respiratory equipment. Use only with adequate ventilation and in closed
systems. Avoid breathing vapors or mists. Always add acid to water.
Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities
Storage Conditions
Keep container tightly closed in a dry and well-ventilated place. Keep out of the reach of
children. Keep containers tightly closed in a dry, cool and well-ventilated place. Keep in
properly labeled containers. Keep/store only in original container. Do not reuse container.
Incompatible materials
Incompatible with strong acids and bases. Incompatible with oxidizing agents. Strong
bases. Ammonia. Chlorinated compounds. Contact with metals may evolve flammable
hydrogen gas. Metals.

Respiratory protection
If exposure limits are exceeded or irritation is experienced, NIOSH/MSHA approved
respiratory protection should be worn. Positive-pressure supplied air respirators may be
required for high airborne contaminant concentrations. Respiratory protection must be
provided in accordance with current local regulations.
General Hygiene
When using do not eat, drink or smoke. Keep away from food, drink and animal feeding
stuffs. Contaminated work clothing should not be allowed out of the workplace. Regular
cleaning of equipment, work area and clothing is recommended. Avoid contact with skin,

Information on likely routes of exposure
Product Information
The primary effects and toxicity of this material are due to it corrosive nature.
Harmful by inhalation. Breathing of vapor can cause respiratory irritation and inflammation.
Breathing of mist or liquid can cause burns to the respiratory tract.
Avoid contact with eyes. Corrosive to the eyes and may cause severe damage including
blindness.
Toxic in contact with skin. Corrosive. Contact with skin may cause severe irritation and
burns. Contact is irritating and may cause an unusual, skin rash that appears similar to
ballooning of the skin. If skin is moist, formation of hydrofluoric acid can cause serious
burns. These burns do not appear serious at first, but may cause severe damage if not
treated immediately.
Harmful if swallowed. Ingestion causes acute irritation and burns to the mucous
membranes of the mouth, trachea, esophagus and stomach.
