Not pertinent.
Health Hazards Information - Recommended Personal Protective Equipment: Chemical safety goggles
and face shield; rubber gloves, boots, and apron; Symptoms Following Exposure: Contact with eyes or
skin causes severe burns, the severity depending on the strength of the acid. Ingestion can cause severe
irritation of mouth and stomach; General Treatment forfiposure: Call a doctor. INGESTION: do NOT
induce vomiting. SKIN OR EYES: flush affected parts with large amounts of water for at least 15 min.;
do NOT use oils or ointments in eyes; treat burns; Toxicity by Inhalation (7hreshold Limit Value): Not
pertinent; Short-Tern Inhalation Limits: Not pertinent; Toxicity by Ingestion: No effects except those
stemming from tissue damage; Late Taxicity: None; Vapor (Gas) Irritant Characteristics: Non-volatile;
Liquid or SolidZrritant Characteristics: Severe skin irritant. Causes second- and third-degree burns on
short contact and is very injurious to the eyes; Odor Threshold: Not pertinent.
Fire Hazards - Flash Point : Not flammable; Flammable Limits in Air (%): Not flammable; Fire

: Not flammable; Electrical Hazard: Not pertinent; Burning Rate: Not flammable
Chemical Reactivity - Reactivity with Water: No reaction, unless strength is above 80 - 90 A, in
which case an exothermic reaction will occur. See sulfuric acid; Reactivity with Common Materials:
Amch many metals, releasing flammable hydrogen gas; Stability During Tmport: Stable;
Neutralizing Agents for Acids and Caustics: Neutralize with limestone, lime, or soda ash after further
dilution with water; Polymerization: Not pertinent; Inhibitor of Polymrizm‘on: Not pertinent.

Health Hazards Information - Recommended Personal Protective Equipment: Goggles and face shield;
air-supplied mask or approved canister; rubber gloves; protective clothing; Symptom Following
Exposure: Vapors can cause severe irritation and damage to eyes, coughmg, headache, dizziness, lung
damage, bronchial pneumonia. Liquid causes thermal and acid burns of eyes, skin, throat, and stomach.
If ingested, causes nausea, vomiting, cramps, diarrhea, and possible tissue ulceration; General
Treatment for momre: INHALATION: remove victim to fresh air; if symptoms persist, call a doctor.
INGESTION: give large amounts of water, then induce vomiting; give milk, eggs ir olive oil; call a
doctor. EYES: immediately flush with copious amounts of water for at least 15 min.; call a doctor.
SKIN: flush with water; obtain medical attention if irritation persists; Toxicity by Inhalation (Threshold
Limit Value): 5 ppm in moist air; Short-Term Exposure Limits: Data not available; Toxicity by
Ingestion: Data not available; Late Toxicity: Disturbances of upper respiratory and nervous system in
man; Vapor (Gas) Zm’tant Characteristics: Vapor is moderately irritating such that personnel will not
tolerate moderate or high vapor concentrations; Liquid or Solid Irritant Characteristics: Fairly Severe
skin irritant; may cause pain and second- degree burns after a few minutes’ contact; Odor i3reshold:
Data not available.
