Section 3 ~ Hazard(s) Identification

Permissible Exposure Limits:  Not established for this product.  See Section 1 for Component PELs and TLVs.

Route(s) of Entry: Skin contact, eye contact, and inhalation.

Effects of Acute Overexposure:

Eyes— Exposure to liquid, vapor or mist may cause severe eye irritation.  Symptoms may include stinging, tearing, redness, swelling, and eye damage.  Burning may not be immediately painful or visible.  Prolonged or repeated exposure may cause irreversible eye damage including corneal damage and blindness.

Skin—Exposure to liquid, vapor, or mist may cause severe skin irritation.  Symptoms may include redness, burning and severe skin damage.  Prolonged or repeated exposure may cause irreversible skin damage including burns.

Inhalation— Exposure is possible under certain conditions such as spraying.  Prolonged or repeated exposure may cause irreversible respiratory tract damage.

Ingestion— Exposure may be harmful or fatal.  Symptoms may include: severe gastrointestinal irritation (nausea, diarrhea, and vomiting) and burns to the mouth, throat, and digestive tract.

Effects of Chronic Overexposure: None Known.  The components in this material are not listed as carcinogen by IARC, NTP, OSHA, OR ACGIH.

Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated – Skin contact may aggravate existing dermatitis or other significant skin conditions.  Inhalation may adversely affect existing respiratory conditions.

Section 4~ First Aid Measures

Eyes— Immediately remove individual from exposure area into fresh air.  Flush eyes with water for at least 30 minutes while holding eyelids apart.  Seek immediate medical attention

Skin— Remove contaminated clothing immediately.  Wash exposed area.

Inhalation— If affected, remove individual to fresh air.  If breathing is difficult, administer oxygen (if you have been trained in its use).  If breathing has stopped, give artificial respiration.  Keep person, warm, quiet and get immediate medical attention.  If possible do not leave person unattended.

Ingestion— Do not induce vomiting.  Vomiting will cause further damage to the mouth and throat.  If the individual is conscious and alert, immediately rinse mouth with water and dilute the swallowed material with milk or water.  Seek immediate medical attention.

Extinguishing Media – Water.

Fire Fighting Procedures – Wear self contained breathing apparatus with a full face piece operated in a positive pressure demand mode with full body protective clothing when fire fighting.

Special Fire Fighting Procedures – Phosphoric acid is corrosive.  Hydrogen gas may be formed when this product comes in contact with metals.  This product contains a large amount of water and will not burn under normal fire conditions.

Section 6 ~Accidental Release Measures

Steps to be Taken in Case Material is Released or Spilled.

Small Spill: Absorb liquid with vermiculite, floor absorbent, or other absorbent material.  Ventilate area well before re-entry.  Appropriate personal protective equipment should be worn.

Large Spill: Only personnel trained in spill clean-up under 29 CFR 1910.120 should be involved with spill clean-up procedures.  Prevent material from entering drains, sewers, streams, or other bodies of water.  Prevent from spreading.  If run-off occurs notify appropriate authorities as required.  Pump or vacuum transfer spilled product to clean containers for recovery.  Absorb unrecoverable product on absorbent materials.   Transfer contaminated absorbent and other materials to container for neutralization.  Neutralize spilled material.  Follow Local, State, and Federal regulations for proper disposal.

Section 7 ~ Handling and Storage

Precautions to be Taken in Handling and Storing –

Keep containers closed when not in use.  Do not transfer to unmarked containers.  Loosen closure carefully.


Section 8 – Exposure Controls/Personal Protection

Respiratory Protection (Specify Type) –

Not required under normal conditions of use; however, if sprayed or used in confined areas, a NIOSH/MSHA approved respirator may be advised in absence of proper environmental control.  OSHA regulations also permit other NIOSH/MSHA respirator under specified conditions – see 29 CFR 1910.134 or your safety equipment supplier.  Engineering and/or administrative controls should be implemented to reduce exposure.

Ventilation

Provide sufficient mechanical ventilation (general and/or local exhaust) to maintain exposure below the recommended exposure limits.

Protective Gloves –Wear chemical resistant gloves such as neoprene or rubber.  Contact your safety equipment supplier.

Eye Protection – Chemical splash goggles and a face shield to prevent splash on to the face, in compliance with OSHA regulations, are advised.

Other protective Clothing or Equipment – To prevent repeated or prolonged skin contact, wearing impervious clothing and boots.
