III. HAZARD IDENTIFICATION

C = Corrosive

Safety Hazard 

Flamable liquid and vapor. Above flash point, vapor mixed with air can explode when its concentration within the limits of the flame. Steam can move along the surface toward the distant source of ignition and burning. 

Contact with strong oxidizing materials may cause fire. React with metals and generate

hydrogen gas, which can form mixtures with air that can explode.

Potential Health Hazard

May cause severe burns to skin, eyes and digestive tract. May cause irritation of the channelrespiration.


IV. SELF PROTECTION GEAR

Respiratory Protection:

If ventilation is inadequate, use appropriate respiratory equipment. Skin and body protection: Rubber or plastic boot, full coverage clothing resistant materials chemistry. Wash clothing and other protective equipment contaminated before storage or reuse.

Eye protection:

Avoid contact with eyes by using chemical goggles side or the protective mask, if there is a risk exposure of vapor or mist or when there is risk of splashing materials to the eye. Safety shower and eyewash must be available in areas where materials was used.

Protection of hands:

Neoprene gloves, latex.

V. FIRST AID ACT


General advice                :
If symptoms continue or if in doubt, ask for medical help immediately.

Inhalation                        : 
Move victim to fresh valve. If coughing or symptoms occur other respiratory, provide medical help immediately. If not breathing,give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult give oxygen. Immediately contact your doctor.


In contact with skin            : 

Immediately wash thoroughly with soap and plenty of water while remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Washing clothes contaminated before reuse. If irritation persists, immediately contact your doctor.

In contact with eyes          : 

Rinse thoroughly with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes and consult a doctor.

If swallowed                      : 

Rinse mouth with water. If victim conscious, give 1-2 glasses of water or milk. Do not try vomiting unless instructed by officers medical because of the risk of lung damage. Do not give anything by mouth to an unconscious victim or seizures. Immediately contact your doctor.

VI. FIRE FIGHTING ACTION


Firefighters Facility:

Water, dry chemical, foam and carbon dioxide. Water spray canused to cool containers exposed to fire.

Fire fighting procedures:

Above flash point, vapor mixed with air may explode if concentration in the flame boundary. Water spray can be used for fire exposed containers cool. Water can be used forrinse the spills or spills and to dilute spills a mixture that is not flammable. The acid was diluted with water can react with metals to form hydrogen gas.

Special protective equipment :

At the time of extinguishing fires, use full protective clothing firefighters with respiratory equipment such as self-contained breathing apparatus that operated with positive pressure.

VII. DEALING WITH THE LEAKAGE


Self-protection:

Evacuate all officers to a safe area. Turn off all sources of ignition. Do not breathe vapor or mist. Wear respiratory equipment and complete full protective clothing. Close the leak if possible without risk. Keep the people from the area of leakage.

Environmental Protection:

Collect or absorb spill / spills with soil or sand. Consult with experts. Prevent spill / spills should not be into the wells in low or  work area; vapor can form atmosphere that could explode. If this material has polluted waterways, wells or soil and plants, immediately notify the appropriate authorities.

Methods for cleaning:

For small leaks

Dilute with water and absorb with inert absorbent material, dry and enclosed in a suitable container for disposal. If necessary, neutralize residue with a solution of sodium carbonate.

For large leaks

Keep away from heat and ignition sources. Close the leak if possible conducted without a residue. If the product in solid form: a shovel and enclosed in an appropriate container for disposal. If the product in liquid forms: absorbed by dry soil, sand or materials not flammable. Do not pour water into the container. Absorption with inert material and enclosed in a suitable container for disposal. Do not touch the spill / spills. Use water spray to divert vapor. Prevent contamination to the wells, a low place or area closed, the weir, if required. Neutralize residue with sodium dilute carbonate.

VIII. HANDLING AND STORAGE
