SECTION 3: Hazards identification

Single Word: DANGER!

Corrosive.
May be corrosive to metals.
Routes of Exposure:
Inhalation, ingestion, skin contact, eye contact
Potential Acute Health effects:
Causes severe skin, eye, and digestive tract burns.
Harmful if swallowed.
Mist or vapor extremely irritating to eyes and respiratory tract.

SECTION 4: First aid measures

First Aid Procedures:

Inhalation: Remove to fresh air. If breathing is difficult, administer oxygen. If the victim is
not breathing, perform mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. Get medical attention immediately.
Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting. If vomiting occurs, keep head low so that vomit does not
enter lungs. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. GET MEDICAL
ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY.
Skin Contact: Flush affected area with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Remove
contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash clothing before reuse. Get medical attention
immediately.
Eye Contact: Check for and remove contact lenses. Immediately flush eyes with gentle but
large stream of water for at least 15 minutes, lifting lower and upper eyelids occasionally. Get
medical attention immediately.

Special Protective Equipment As in any fire wear MSHA/NIOSH approved (or

equivalent) self-contained positive pressure.
For Firefighters or pressure-demand breathing apparatus and full protective gear.

SECTION 6: Accidental release measures

Personal Precautions: Ventilate the area of leak or spill. Isolate hazard areas and keep
unnecessary and unprotected personnel away from the area of the leak or spill. Keep upwind.
Keep out of low areas. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment as specified in the
Exposure Control and
Personal Protection Section 8. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing.
Environmental Precautions: Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. Do not
contaminate water. Avoid discharge into drains, water courses or, onto the ground. In case of
a large spill, dike if needed.
Methods for Containment: Stop the flow of material if this is without risk. Prevent entry into
waterways, sewers, basements, or confined areas. Dike the spilled material, where this is
possible.
Methods for Cleaning Up: Absorb spill with an inert material, and place in a suitable non-
combustible container for reclamation or disposal. Do not use combustible materials, such as
sawdust. Clean contaminated surfaces thoroughly. Neutralize spill area and washings with soda
ash or lime. Never return spills in original containers for re-use.
Clean up in accordance with all applicable regulations.
SECTION 7: Handling and storage

Handling: Wear personal protective equipment (see section 8). Use only in well-ventilated
areas. Provide sufficient air exchange and/or exhaust in work rooms. Avoid contact with skin,
eyes, and clothing. Do not breathe vapors or spray mist. Do not ingest. When using, do not eat,
smoke, or drink. Keep away from incompatible materials. Handle in accordance with good
industrial hygiene and safety practices. Wash thoroughly after handling. Containers of this
material may be hazardous when empty since they retain product residues (vapors, liquids).
Observe all warnings and precautions listed for the product Use caution when combining with
water. DO NOT add water to acid. ALWAYS add acid to water while stirring to prevent the
release of heat, steam, and fumes.

Storage: Store in a COOL, DRY, VENTILATED AREA away from incompatible materials.
Store in original container. Keep containers tightly closed and upright. Keep away from food,
drink, and animal feeding stuff. KEEP OUT OF THE REACH OF CHILDREN.

SECTION 8: Exposure control and personal protection

Exposure Limits:
ACGIH: Ceiling: 2 ppm
OSHA: Ceiling: 5 ppm
7 mg/m3

Engineering Controls: Ensure adequate ventilation. Ventilation rates should be matched to

conditions.

PPEs:
Eye/Face Protection: Wear safety glasses with side shields or goggles and a face shield.
Skin Protection: Wear appropriate chemical resistant clothing (with long sleeves) and
appropriate chemical resistant gloves.
Respiratory Protection: Not required under normal conditions of use or, use a cartridge-type
gas mask as a backup to engineering controls.
Body: Wear a lab coat, a garment covering the ankles, closed-toed shoes, and an acid-resistant
apron.

SECTION 12: Ecological information

Ecotoxicological Data:
LC50 Western mosquitofish (Gambusia affinis): 282 mg/L 96 H
Ecotoxicity:
This product may affect the acidity (pH) in water with risk of harmful effects to aquatic
organisms.
Mobility in Soil:
No data available
Bio accumulative Potential:
This material is not expected to bioconcentrate in organisms.
Persistence and degradability:
This material is believed not to persist in the environment This material is believed to exist in
the disassociated state in the environment If released into the soil, hydrogen chloride will sink
into the soil. The acid will dissolve some soil material (in particular, anything with a carbonate
base) and will be somewhat neutralized. The remaining portion is thought to transport down to
the water table. If released into water, it dissociates almost completely and will be neutralized
by natural alkalinity and carbon dioxide. This material is inorganic and not subject to
biodegradation

SECTION 13: Disposal information
