Primary Route of Exposure
Skin and eye contact are the primary routes of exposure to
this product.
Inhalation Acute Exposure
Inhalation of fumes or vapors may be irritating to the upper
respiratory system.
Skin Contact - ACUTE
Skin contact may cause severe irritation.
Eye Contact - ACUTE
Eye contact may cause irritation.
Ingestion - ACUTE
Irritation to the mouth, throat, esophagus and stomach may be
caused by ingestion of this material. It may also cause digestive
tract irritation, vomiting, abdominal pain and diarrhea.
Carcinogenicity:
IARC: No
NTP: No
OSHA: No
AGCIH: No
Inhalation First Aid
If inhaled, remove victim to fresh air. If not breathing, give
artificial respiratory. If breathing becomes difficult, give oxygen
and get medical attention.
Skin Contact - First Aid
Immediately flush skin with plenty of water while removing
contaminated clothing and shoes. Get medical attention immediately.
Wash contaminated clothing before reuse. Thoroughly clean or
destroy contaminated shoes.
Eye Contact - First Aid
Immediately flush eyes with large quantities of running water for
a minimum of 15 minutes. If the victim is wearing contact lenses,
and if easy to do, remove them. Hold the eyelids apart during the
flushing to ensure rinsing of the entire surface of the eye and lids
with water. DO NOT let the victim rub eyes(s). Do not attempt to
neutralize with chemical agents. Oils or ointments should not be used
at this time. Get medical attention.
Ingestion - First Aid
Get medical attention by calling a physician or a poison control
center immediately. Give victim plenty of water to drink. Do not
induce vomiting unless directed to do so as directed by medical
personnel. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious or
convulsing person. If vomiting occurs, keep head below hips to
reduce risk of aspiration. Get medical attention immediately.
Medical Conditions Aggravated
There are no data available that address medical conditions that
are generally recognized as being aggravated by exposure to this
product.
Note to Physician
Attending physician should treat exposed patients symptomatically.
Chemical burns on the skin should be treated as thermal burns.
Flush eyes with buffered or plain irrigating solutions. If any
ulceration or conjunctival injury is present, have an ophthalmologist
examine the patient.

Extinguishing Media
Use water fog or spray, dry chemical, foam or carbon dioxide
extinguishing agents.
Fire Fighting Procedures:
As in any fire, prevent human exposure to fire, smoke,
fumes or products of combustion. Evacuate non-essential
personnel from the fire area. Fire fighters should wear
full-face, self-contained breathing apparatus and impervious
protective clothing. If possible, remove containers from the
fire area. High pressure water may spread product from broken
containers increasing contamination or fire hazard.
Contaminated buildings, areas and equipment must not be used
until they are properly decontaminated. Dike fire water for
later disposal. Do not allow contaminated water to enter
waterways.
Fire and Explosion Hazards
This product is not defined as flammable or combustible.
However, it may decompose under fire conditions to give off
toxic materials such as phosphorous oxides and flammable organic
substituents. The product is self- extinguishing once the source
of ignition is removed.
Other Fire and Explosion Hazards
No other explosion hazards of this product are known.
Hazardous Products/Combustion
Under fire conditions this product may support combustion and
decompose to give off flammable alkene and phosphoric oxides as
well as carbon oxides. The product is self-extinguishing once
the source of ignition is removed. It is not sensitive to static
discharge.
Clean up:
Stop source of spill. Dike area to prevent spill from
spreading. Soak up liquid with suitable absorbent such
as clay, sawdust, or kitty litter. Sweep up absorbed
material and place in a chemical waste container for
disposal. CAUTION! The spill area may be slippery.
Cover spill area with a slurry of powdered Alconox® or
if not available, then household detergent and water.
Use a still brush to work detergent into cracks and
crevices. Allow to stand for two to three minutes,
then flush with water. Dike the waste water for later
disposal.
Do not flush spilled material to the sewer or the environment.
Handling:
Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flames. Wear protective
equipment including chemical goggles and rubber gloves to avoid
contact with eyes and skin. Avoid inhalation of vapors, mists,
and fumes. Personnel handling this product should wash thoroughly
after contact with this product.
Storage:
Store away from foodstuffs or animal feed. Containers should
be stored in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from
flammable or incompatible materials and sources of heat or
flame. Exercise due caution to prevent damage to or leakage
from the container.
To prevent acid build-up, do not store the product at
temperatures above 49°C (120°F). This product is normally
shipped in polyethylene-lined fiber cartons in bulk
quantities and glass bottles in gram size quantities.
Maximum Storage Temperature:
49°C (120°F)
General comments:
Containers should not be opened until ready for use.
Respiratory Protection:
Use a NIOSH-approved organic vapor acid gas respirator
(OVAG) with dust , mist, and fume filters to reduce
potential for inhalation exposure if use conditions
generate vapor, mist, or aerosol and adequate ventilation
(e.g., outdoor or well ventilated area) is not available.
Where exposure potential necessitates a higher level of
protection use a NIOSH-approved, positive-pressure,
pressure demand, air-supplied respirator.
When using respirator cartridges or canisters, they must be
changed frequently (following each use or at the end of the
work shift) to assure breakthrough exposure does not occur.
Skin Protection:
Skin contact with this product should be prevented through
the use of suitable protective clothing, gloves, and footwear
selected with regard for the use condition exposure potential.
Eye Protection:
Eye contact with the liquid or its aerosol should be prevented
through the use of chemical safety goggles or a face shield
selected with regard for use condition exposure potential.
Ventilation Protection:
At elevated processing temperatures, or in the event that use
conditions generate airborne vapor, aerosol or mist, the
material should be handled in a well-ventilated area. Where
adequate ventilation is not available, use a NIOSH-approved
organic vapor/acid gas (OVAG) respirator with dust, mist,
and fume filter to reduce exposure. Where exposure potential
under use conditions is greater, use a NIOSH-approved,
positive-pressure air-supplied respirator.
Other Protection:
During the development of safe handling procedures, consideration
should be given to the need for cleaning of equipment and piping
systems to render them nonhazardous before maintenance and repair
activities are performed. Waste resulting from these procedures
should be handled in an environmentally safe manner.
Applicable Exposure Limits:
Other than any exposure limits which may be displayed in
Section 8, there are no exposure limits applicable for this
product or its components.
