Primary Routes of Exposure
Eye Contact: Direct contact may cause slight eye irritation.
Skin Contact: Prolonged contact may cause slight skin irritation, skin drying or dermatitis.
Inhalation: Inhalation of vapor or mist may cause slight respiratory tract irritation.
Ingestion: May cause irritation to the mouth, esophagus and stomach.
Chronic Hazards: No known chronic hazards.
Physical Hazards: Dries to form a glass film which can easily cut skin.
Spilled material is very slippery. Can etch glass if not promptly removed.
SECTION IV: FIRST AID MEASURE
Eye contact: Flush eyes with large amounts of water for 15 minutes. Get medical attention promptly.
Skin: Thoroughly wash exposed area with plenty of water. Consult a physician if irritation persists.
Inhalation: Move subject to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical attention.
Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting. Get medical attention immediately. If victim is fully conscious, give a cupful of water. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
Note to Physician: This product is alkaline with pH of 11.5.
SECTION V: FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD INFORMATION
Flash Point: Non-combustible.
Extinguishing Media: Use extinguishing media appropriate for surrounding fire. This material is compatible with all extinguishing media.
Hazards to Fire-Fighters: See Section III for information on hazards when this material is present in the area of a fire.
SECTION VI: ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Personal Protection: See SECTION VIII for the appropriate protective equipment for handling a spill of this material. See SECTION IV for first aid actions if exposed to material during clean-up operations.
Procedures: Avoid falls since surface may be slippery. Contain spills with sand or earth. If available, use OIL SOLUTIONS Step 2 or dilute acid to form an inert, non-hazardous wet solid. Transfer the substance and the diking material to suitable containers for disposal. Not a RCRA Hazardous waste.
SECTION VII: HANDLING AND STORAGE
Storage Conditions: Do not store in aluminum, fiberglass, copper, brass, zinc or galvanized containers. Do not store near strong acids, reactive metals, and ammonium salts. Keep from freezing. Store between 1oC/34oF and 60oC/140oF.
Handling Procedures: See SECTION VIII for types of personal protection required.
SECTION VIII: EXPOSURE CONTROLS & PERSONAL PROTECTION
Engineering Controls: Use local exhaust to control vapors/mists.
Respiratory Protection: Ventilation and other forms of engineering controls are often the preferred means for controlling chemical exposures. A dust mask may be needed for non-routine or extreme density mist situations.
Protective Gloves: Wear rubber gloves.
Eye Protection: Use splash goggles or face shield if possibility of material splashing, spraying or misting exists.
Other Protective Equipment: Use chemical resistant apron or impervious clothing to avoid contamination of regular clothing resulting in prolonged or repeated skin contact. Safety shower and eyewash fountain should be within access.
Personal Hygiene: Minimize breathing vapor or mist, avoid prolonged contact with skin, remove contaminated clothing and launder before reuse. Clean contaminated shoes before reuse.
SECTION IX: PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL PROPERTIES
