Hazards Identification
Emergency Overview :
WARNING!
Causes irritation to skin, eyes and respiratory track. Harmful if
swallowed or inhaled. May affect the heart, blood, thyroid and central nervous system.
Inhalation:
May cause irritation to the respiratory tract.
Symptoms may include
coughing and shortness of breath.
Ingestion:
May cause vomiting, disorientation, weakness,
low blood pressure,
convulsions and death which may be delayed. The probable lethal dose is
between 15-30 grams.
Skin Contact:
Causes irritation to skin. Symptoms include
redness, itching, and pain.
Eye Contact: Causes irritation, redness, and
pain.
Chronic Exposure:
Prolonged or repeated skin exposure may cause
dermatitis. Repeated ingestion of
small amounts may cause hives, abnormal
bleeding, enlarged thyroid, weakness,
confusion, diarrhea, psychosis, and collapse.
Aggravation of Pre-existing Conditions: No
information found.
4.
First Aid Measures
Inhalation:
Remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give
artificial respiration. If breathing is
difficult, give oxygen. Get medical attention.
Ingestion:
If swallowed, DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. Give large
quantities of water. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical attention immediately.
Skin Contact:
Immediately flush skin with plenty of water for
at least 15 minutes. Remove contaminated
clothing and shoes. Get medical attention. Wash clothing before reuse. Thoroughly
clean shoes before reuse.
Eye Contact:
Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for
at least 15 minutes, lifting lower and upper
eyelids occasionally. Get medical attention immediately.
5.
Fire Fighting Measures
Fire: Not considered to be a fire hazard.
Explosion: Not considered to be an explosion
hazard.
Fire Extinguishing Media:
Water, sand earth, foam.
Special Information: In the event of a fire,
wear full protective clothing and self-contained
breathing apparatus with full facepiece operated in the pressure demand or
other positive pressure mode.
Poisonous gases are produced in fire.
6.
Accidental Release Measures
Ventilate area of leak or spill. Wear
appropriate personal protective equipment as
specified in Section 8
.
Spills: Sweep up and containerize for
reclamation or disposal. Vacuuming or wet
sweeping may be used to avoid dust dispersal.
7.
Handling and Storage
Keep in a tightly closed light-resistant
container, stored in a cool, dry, ventilated
area.
Protect against physical damage. Isolate from incompatible substances.
Containers of this material may be hazardous when empty since they retain
product residues (dust, solids); observe all
warnings and
precautions listed for the product.
8.
Exposure Controls/Personal Protection
Airborne Exposure Limits: None established.
Ventilation System: In general, dilution
ventilation is a satisfactory health hazard
control for
this substance. However, if conditions of use create discomfort to the
worker, a local exhaust system should be considered.
Personal Respirators: For conditions of use
where exposure to dust or mist is apparent and
engineering controls are not feasible, a particulate respirator may be worn. If oil particles (e.g. lubricants, cutting
fluids, glycerine, etc.) are present, use a
filter.
For emergencies or instances where the exposure levels are not known, use a full-face positive-pressure,
air-supplied respirator.
WARNING: Air-purifying respirators do not protect workers in
oxygen-deficient atmospheres.
Skin Protection: Wear impervious protective
clothing, including boots, gloves, lab coat,
apron or coveralls,
as appropriate, to prevent skin contact.
Eye Protection: Use chemical safety goggles
and/or full face shield where dusting
or splashing of solutions is possible. Maintain
eye wash fountain and quick-drench facilities in
work area.

produce highly toxic fumes of hydrogen
cyanide, hydrogen sulfide and toxic oxides
of nitrogen, sulfur, and carbon.
Hazardous Polymerization: Will not occur.
Incompatibilities: Chlorates, nitrates,
peroxides, strong acids, strong oxidizing
agents, mineral acids.
Soluble in water,
ethanol, aceton; decomposes on heating and under influence of light producing toxic fumes of sulfur oxides, nitrogen
oxides and cyanides. Reacts violently with
acids, strong bases and strong oxidants.
11.
Disposal Considerations
Whatever cannot be saved for recovery or
recycling should be managed in an appropriate
and approved waste disposal facility. Processing, use or contamination of this
product may change the waste management options. State and local disposal regulations may differ from federal disposal
regulations.
Dispose of container and unused contents in
accordance
with federal, state and local
requirements.
12.
Transport Information
Keep
in tightly closed bag or iron barrels .
