Section 03: Hazards Identification

Emergency overview:
This product contains hazardous material.  This product causes eye,
skin, and respiratory tract irritation.  Exposure to this material's
vapors may produce central nervous system effect.

Target Organs:
Eyes, Skin, Respiratory tract, Central nervous system.

Potential Health Effects
Eye:
May cause eye irritation.

Skin:
May cause skin irritation

Ingestion:
May cause irritation of the digestive tract. May cause central nervous
system depression, characterized by excitement, followed by headache,
dizziness, drowsiness, and nausea. Advanced stages may cause collapse,
unconsciousness, coma and possible death due to respiratory failure.

Inhalation:
Inhalation of high concentrations may cause central nervous system
effects characterized by nausea, headache dizziness, unconsciousness
and coma.  Causes respiratory tract irritation. Irritation may lead
to chemical pneumonitis and pulmonary edema. May produce numbness in
the extremities.

Chronic:
Prolonged or repeated skin contact may cause defatting or dermatitis.
Chronic overexposure to vapors may cause lung damage.



Section 04: First Aid Measures


Emergency and first aid procedures:

    Get medical assistance for all cases of over-exposure.
  
    Skin:  Get medical aid. Immediately flush skin thoroughly
        with water for at least 15 minutes. Remove contaminated clothing
        and shoes.  Wash clothing before reuse.
 
    Eyes:  Get medical aid immediately. Immediately flush
        thoroughly with water for at least 15 minutes, occasionally
        lifting the upper and lower eyelids.  Do not allow victim to rub
        or keep eyes closed.

    Inhalation:  Get medical aid immediately. Remove to fresh
        air immediately. Artificial respiration if breathing has stopped.
        If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Do NOT use mouth-to-mouth
        resuscitation. If breathing has ceased, apply artificial respiration
        using oxygen and a suitable mechanical device such as a bag and
        a mask.

    Ingestion:  Do NOT induce vomiting. If conscious and alert,
        give 2-4 cupfuls of water to drink. Never give anything by
        mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical aid immediately.

    Notes to Physician:  Treat symptomatically and supportively.

    Chronic:  Concentrated, prolonged or deliberate inhalation of
        this product may cause central nervous system damage.



Section 05: Fire Fighting Measures


Flash Point....................  -7°C
Autoignition Temperature....... 505°C

Explosion Limits:
	Lower  1.8 vol %
	Upper 11.5 vol % 

Firefighting Procedure:
Wear self-contained breathing apparatus in pressure-demand full protective
gear. Keep all flammable substances away from the heat and flame. Closed
container may explode when exposed to extreme heat. 

Extinguishing Media:
CO2, Foam, Dry Chemical, Dry Sand. 



Section 06: Accidental Release Measures


Spill Response:
     Evacuate the area of all unnecessary personnel.

Action to take for spills:

  For small spills:
      Absorb on to rags, sand, or other absorbent material.

  For large spills:
      Get workers out of the affected area.  If flammable liquids or 
      vapors may be present, turn off electrical devices or other 
      sources of sparks or flames.  Wear protective equipment.  Use 
      supplied-air respiratory protection if vapor concentrations are 
      not known.  Contain spill at source by diking or absorbing with 
      sand.  Do not allow spill to spread to or intentionally flush to
      sewer or ground.  Wash area thoroughly.  Adequately ventilate
      area.  Spill residue, cleaning rags, and absorbent may be refined
      to recover the precious metal content.

Disposal considerations:
     Components of this product may be considered hazardous, waste 
     product may be refined to recover previous metal content.




Section 07: Handling and Storage

Handling:
Wash hand thoroughly after using.  Wear chemical splash goggles and
solvent resistant gloves.  Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing.  
Avoid inhalation and ingestion. If the TLV of the product is exceeded, 
a mechanical exhaust system or self-contained breathing apparatus is
advised. No special equipment is deemed necessary under normal usage.


Storage:
Store in tightly sealed container.  Ground all metal containers during
storage and handling to avoid buildup of electrostatic charges.  Store
at room temperature.  Avoid direct sunshine, heat.



Section 08: Exposure Controls and Personal Protection

Engineering Controls:
Use explosion proof local exhaust ventilation.  An eyewash fountain and
a safety shower should be readily available in areas of use or handling.
