Potential Health Effects:
Routes of exposure
Eye contact, ingestion, skin contact
Signs and Symptoms of Acute Exposure:
Eye and skin irritation; ingestion, not known.
Chronic Health Effects Summary:
Not known.
Conditions Aggravated by Exposure:
No known conditions are aggravated by this material.
Take proper precautions to ensure your own health and safety before
attempting to rescue and providing first aid. For specific information
refer to the Emergency Overview in Section of this MSDS.
Inhalation: If symptoms are experienced, move victim to fresh
air, and obtain medical attention.
Eye Contact: Wash eyes with copious amounts low-pressure water,
removing contact lenses if possible. Then seek medical advice
from a qualified physician.
Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing, then rinse skin thorough
with soap and water to remove all traces of the substance.
Ingestion: Adverse health effects due to ingestion to be expected.
Wash out mouth with water but never give liquids to an
unconscious person. Call a physician at once and seek other
medical attention.
NFPA Rating: Not known
Flammability classification:
Not known.
Flash Point/Method: Not applicable
Auto-Ignition Temperature: Not known
Flammable Limits: Lower: Not applicable
Upper: Not applicable
Hazardous Combustion Products:
Selenium and selenium oxides. One can also expect the emission
of other toxic fumes under fire conditions.
Special Conditions to Avoid:
Strong oxidizing agents, moisture, oxygen/air, strong acids
Extinguishing Media:
Fires: Use dry chemicals, CO2, water spray, or appropriate foam.
Fire Fighting Instructions:
Protective Equipment/Clothing: Wear a NIOSH approved positive
pressure self-contained breathing apparatus and firefighter
turnout gear. Wear long sleeves and chemical goggles for eye
protection.
Instructions: Use flooding quantities of water until well after
fire is out. If the product now wet with water starts to migrate
to other areas or even to the outside environment, dike it at once
to prevent that from happening.
Release response:
Wear NIOSH approved respirator, chemical safety goggles,
rubber boots, and heavy rubber gloves. Sweep up wet product,
place in a bag and hold for waste disposal. If product is
tending to flow away from fire or spill area, try to dike the
material to keep in one place. If a broom is used, remember
that the broom, when dried out, will contain powder of the
product and if the broom is put into continued use without proper
cleaning, then a hazardous dust cloud could be created. Ventilate
area and wash spill site after pick up is complete.
Reportable Quantities: See Section 15: Regulatory information.
Handling: Use full protective gear as described above. Storage: Keep container dry. Store away from excessive heat and away from strong oxidizing agents and moisture. Keep container closed to prevent contamination.
Engineering Controls: If user operations generate dust or fumes,
ventilate area to prevent accumulation.
Personal Protection:
Inhalation: Use appropriate respiratory protection at all
times. If product is to be used as part of a vacuum deposition process,
we would recommend that all vacuum pumps be vented to the outdoors, in
order to avoid any possible release of Se compounds into the laboratory
environment.
Skin: Protective clothing such as long sleeves or a lab coat
should always be worn. When handling heated materials, also be sure
to use heat-resistant gloves, boots and chemical goggles.
Eye: Always use chemical goggles, even for work with small
quantities, such as the loading of a tungsten basket or boat prior to
making a deposition of the material.
Boiling Point/Range: Not applicable pH: Not applicable Vapor Pressure: Not applicable Viscosity: Not applicable Specific Gravity: 5.420 Water solubility: Partially soluble Octanol/Water Partition Coefficient in Kow: Specific value not known Melting/Freezing Point: Not known Evaporation Rate: Not applicable
