Section 3 - Hazards Identification
Appearance: clear, colorless liquid.
Danger! Strong oxidizer. Contact with other
material may cause a fire. Eye contact may result in permanent eye
damage. Corrosive. Causes eye and skin irritation and possible burns.
May be harmful if swallowed. May cause severe respiratory tract
irritation with possible burns. May cause severe digestive tract
irritation with possible burns. May cause blood abnormalities. Light
sensitive. May cause central nervous system effects.
Target Organs: Blood, central nervous system.
Potential Health Effects
Contact with liquid is corrosive to the eyes and causes severe
burns. Contact with the eyes may cause corneal damage.
Causes severe skin irritation and possible burns. May cause
discoloration, erythema (redness), swelling, and the formation of
papules and vesicles (blisters).
Causes gastrointestinal irritation with nausea, vomiting and
diarrhea. Causes gastrointestinal tract burns. May cause vascular
collapse and damage. May cause damage to the red blood cells. May
cause difficulty in swallowing, stomach distension, possible cerebral
swelling and death. Ingestion may result in irritation of the
esophagus, bleeding of the stomach and ulcer formation.
Causes chemical burns to the respiratory tract. May cause ulceration
of nasal tissue, insomnia, nervous tremors with numb extremities,
chemical pneumonia, unconsciousness, and death. At high
concentrations, respiratory effects may include acute lung damage and
delayed pulmonary edema.
Prolonged or repeated skin contact may cause dermatitis. Laboratory
experiments have resulted in mutagenic effects. Repeated contact may
cause corneal damage.
Section 4 - First Aid Measures
Get medical aid immediately. Do NOT allow victim to rub eyes or keep
eyes closed. Extensive irrigation with water is required (at least 30
Get medical aid immediately. Immediately flush skin with plenty of
water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing
and shoes. Wash clothing before reuse. Destroy contaminated shoes.
Do not induce vomiting. If victim is conscious and alert, give 2-4
cupfuls of milk or water. Never give anything by mouth to an
unconscious person. Get medical aid immediately. Wash mouth out with
water. Vomiting may occur spontaneously. If vomiting occurs and the
victim is conscious, give water to further dilute the chemical.
Get medical aid immediately. Remove from exposure and move to fresh
air immediately. 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.
Notes to Physician:
Treat symptomatically and supportively. Attempts at evacuating the
stomach via emesis induction or gastric lavage should be avoided. In
the event of severe distension of the stomach or esophagus due to gas
formation, insertion of a gastric tube may be required. To treat
corneal damage, careful ophthalmologic evaluation is recommended and
the possibility of local corticosteroid therapy should be considered.
Section 5 - Fire Fighting Measures
As in any fire, wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in
pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and full
protective gear. Water runoff can cause environmental damage. Dike
and collect water used to fight fire. Strong oxidizer. Contact with
other material may cause fire. During a fire, irritating and highly
toxic gases may be generated by thermal decomposition or combustion.
Use water spray to keep fire-exposed containers cool. Substance is
noncombustible. Use water with caution and in flooding amounts.
Vapors may be heavier than air. They can spread along the ground and
collect in low or confined areas. Some oxidizers may react
explosively with hydrocarbons(fuel). May decompose explosively when
heated or involved in a fire. May accelerate burning if involved in
Use water only! Do NOT use carbon dioxide. Do NOT use dry chemical.
Do NOT get water inside containers. Contact professional
fire-fighters immediately. Cool containers with flooding quantities
of water until well after fire is out. For large fires, flood fire
area with large quantities of water, while knocking down vapors with

Section 6 - Accidental Release Measures
General Information: Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated
in Section 8.
Avoid runoff into storm sewers and ditches which lead to waterways.
Clean up spills immediately, observing precautions in the Protective
Equipment section. Use water spray to disperse the gas/vapor. Remove
all sources of ignition. Absorb spill using an absorbent,
non-combustible material such as earth, sand, or vermiculite. Do not
use combustible materials such as sawdust. Flush spill area with
water. Provide ventilation. Do not get water inside containers. Keep
combustibles (wood, paper, oil, etc.,) away from spilled material.
Section 7 - Handling and Storage
Wash thoroughly after handling. Remove contaminated clothing and
wash before reuse. Use only in a well-ventilated area. Contents may
develop pressure upon prolonged storage. Do not get in eyes, on skin,
or on clothing. Keep container tightly closed. Avoid contact with
clothing and other combustible materials. Do not ingest or inhale.
Store protected from light. Discard contaminated shoes. Unused
chemicals should not be returned to the container. Rinse empty drums
and containers thoroughly with water before discarding.
Keep away from heat, sparks, and flame. Do not store near
combustible materials. Keep container closed when not in use. Store
in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible
substances. Store protected from light. Keep away form alkalies,
oxidizable materials, finely divided metals, alcohols, and
permanganates. Store only in light-resistent containers fitted with
a safety vent.
Section 8 - Exposure Controls, Personal Protection
Use explosion-proof ventilation equipment. Facilities storing or
utilizing this material should be equipped with an eyewash facility
and a safety shower. Use adequate general or local exhaust
ventilation to keep airborne concentrations below the permissible
