3. Hazards Identification

Emergency Overview:DANGER! Corrosive. May cause irreversible eye injury. Vapor causes skin, digestive and respiratory tract burns.

Potential Health Effects:

  • Signs and Symptoms of Acute Overexposure: Contact with liquid, mist, or vapor can cause immediate irritation or corrosive burns to all human tissue. Severity of the burn is generally determined by the concentration of the solution and duration of exposure. Contact with eyes may result in permanent visual loss unless removed quickly by thorough irrigation with water. Inhalation of concentrated vapor or mist will damage upper respiratory tract and lung tissues. Swallowing may be fatal. May be absorbed through the skin in harmful amounts
  • Signs and Symptoms of Chronic overexposure: Repeated exposure may cause chronic bronchitis or respiratory inflammation and erosion of teeth. Repeated skin contact with dilute solutions may cause dermatitis. Repeated eye contact may cause conjunctivitis and photosensitization.
  • Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure: NDA
  • Other Comments: NDA

4. First Aid Measures

  • Inhalation: Remove patient to fresh air. Get prompt medical attention
  • Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting. Give patient large amounts of milk or water to drink. Get patient to hospital promptly.
  • Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing and footwear. Wash skin for 15 minutes with soap and water. Wash clothing before reuse. If irritation persists, get medical attention.
  • Eye Contact: Immediately flush eyes with water for 15 minutes. Forcibly hold eyelids apart to ensure complete irrigation of eye and eyelid tissue. Do not allow patient to rub or keep eyes closed. Get immediate medical attention.
  • Note to Physician: Treat symptomatically. No specific antidote.

5. Fire Fighting Measures

Flash Point: 1782 degrees C (3,239.60 degrees F) by Pensky-Martens Closed Cup method, ASTM D-93

Flammability Limits: NDA

Autoignition temp: NDA

Fire Extinguishing Media: Suitable for the surrounding fire

Special Fire-Fighting Information: Wear NIOSH-approved SCBA (Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus). Use water spray to cool containers.

Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: Reacts with reactive metals (potassium, sodium, calcium, powdered aluminum, zinc, magnesium) to produce flammable hydrogen gas.

6. Accidental Release Measures

Utilize full protective clothing, including boots and protective equipment (see Section 8). Contain spill in order to prevent contamination of sewage system or water way. Pump into marked containers for reclamation or disposal. Absorb spill with inert material, (e.g., dry sand, vermiculite or earth), then place in a chemical waste container. If possible, neutralize residue on a dry basis with suitable alkali, such as lime or soda ash; then flush with water in accordance with applicable regulations. Spills of 1500 gallons or more must be reported to the National Response Center (800) 424-8802.

7. Handling and Storage

Protect container from physical damage. Do not strike containers or fittings with tools or hard objects. Keep container closed and dry, when not in use. Store away from heat and oxidizing agents (yellow label). Wash thoroughly after handling. Emptied container may retain vapor and product residue. Store in a "Corrosives" area.

8. Exposure Controls/ Personal Protection

  • Ventilation System: A system of local and/or general exhaust is recommended to keep employee exposures as low as possible. Local exhaust ventilation is generally preferred because it can control the emissions of the contaminant at its source, preventing dispersion of it into the general work area. Please refer to the ACGIH document, Industrial Ventilation, A Manual of Recommended Practices, most recent edition, for details.
  • Personal Respirators (NIOSH or EN 166 Approved): Use approved full face respirator with canister approved for hydrochloric acid vapor or mist. Consult respirator manufacturer to determine appropriate equipment. If concentrations are high or unknown, use self-contained breathing apparatus.
  • Skin Protection: Rubber gloves, boots and apron. Body covering clothing to minimize exposure
  • Eye Protection: Splash-proof chemical safety goggles, full face shield. Do not wear contact lenses. Recommend eyewash fountain nearby where product is handled in concentrated form (LRSD 890 contains < 10% concentration).
  • Other Control Measures: A source of clean water should be available in the work area or flushing eyes and skin.
ACGIH: CAS 5329-14-6: 1 mg/m3
NIOSH: 50 ppm IDLH
OSHA Final PELs: C 5 ppm; C 7 mg/m3.
OSHA Vacated PELs: No vacated PELs listed for this product.
