3 - Hazards Identification
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Appearance: off-white to gray crystalline powder. Dangerous when wet.
Danger!
Corrosive. Causes eye and skin burns. May cause severe respiratory tract
irritation with possible burns. May cause severe digestive tract irritation with
possible burns. Light sensitive.
Target Organs: None.
4 - First Aid Measures
5 - Fire Fighting Measures
General Information: As in any fire, wear a self-contained
breathing apparatus in pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and
full protective gear. During a fire, irritating and highly toxic gases may be
generated by thermal decomposition or combustion. Water Reactive. Material will
react with water and may release a flammable and/or toxic gas. Use water spray
to keep fire-exposed containers cool. Containers may explode in the heat of a
fire.
Extinguishing Media: DO NOT USE WATER! Use only graphite
powder, soda ash, powdered sodium chloride, or an appropriate
metal-fire-extinguishing dry powder. Do NOT get water inside containers. Cool
containers with flooding quantities of water until well after fire is out. For
large fires, use dry sand, dry chemical, soda ash or lime or withdraw from area
and let fire burn.
Flash Point: Not available.
Autoignition Temperature: 200 deg C ( 392.00 deg F)

Upper: N/A
NFPA Rating: Not published.
6 - Accidental Release Measures
General Information: Use proper personal protective equipment
as indicated in Section 8.
Spills/Leaks: Clean up spills immediately, observing
precautions in the Protective Equipment section. Sweep up, then place into a
suitable container for disposal. Avoid generating dusty conditions. Remove all
sources of ignition. Use a spark-proof tool. Provide ventilation. Do not get
water on spilled substances or inside containers.
7 - Handling and Storage
Handling: Wash thoroughly after handling. Remove contaminated
clothing and wash before reuse. Keep container tightly closed. Do not get on
skin or in eyes. Do not ingest or inhale. Use with adequate ventilation. Store
protected from light. Discard contaminated shoes.
Storage: Keep container closed when not in use. Keep away from
water. Corrosives area. Store protected from light.
8 - Exposure Controls, Personal
Protection
Engineering Controls: Facilities storing or utilizing this
material should be equipped with an eyewash facility and a safety shower. Use
adequate ventilation to keep airborne concentrations low.

Skin: Wear butyl rubber gloves, apron, and/or clothing. Wear
appropriate protective gloves to prevent skin exposure.
Clothing: Wear butyl rubber gloves, apron, and/or clothing.
Wear appropriate protective clothing to minimize contact with skin.
Respirators: A respiratory protection program that meets OSHA's 29 CFR
1910.134 and ANSI Z88.2 requirements or European Standard EN 149 must be
followed whenever workplace conditions warrant a respirator's use. Wear a
NIOSH/MSHA or European Standard EN 149 approved full-facepiece airline
respirator in the positive pressure mode with emergency escape provisions.
