=====================  Hazards Identification  =====================

LD50 LC50 Mixture:ORAL RAT LD50: 3.3G/KG.
Routes of Entry: Inhalation:YES  Skin:YES  Ingestion:YES
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:SKIN: CAN CAUSE CHEMICAL BURN. EYES:
    CAN CAUSE CHEMICAL BURN. DAMAGE IRREVERSIBLE. VAPORS ARE SEVERELY
    IRRITATING. INHALATION: CAUSES SEVERE IRRITATION OF NASAL PASSAGES,
    THROAT, AND LUNGS. CAN CAUSE  PULMONARY EDEMA. INGESTION: CAUSES
    SEVERE IRRITATION AND DAMAGE TO MOUTH, THROAT AND STOMACH. MAY BE
    FATAL.
Effects of Overexposure:EYES: CHEMICAL BURNS, DAMAGE IRREVERSIBLE,
    IRRITATION. SKIN: CHEMICAL BURNS. INHALATION: SEVERE IRRITATION OF
    NASAL PASSAGES, THROAT, AND LUNGS. PULMONARY EDEMA. INGESTION:
    IRRITATION AND DAMAGE OF MO UTH, THROAT, AND STOMACH. MAY BE FATAL.

=======================  First Aid Measures  =======================

First Aid:SKIN: IMMEDIATELY FLUSH EXPOSED AREA WITH WATER,THEN WATER
    CONTAINING SODIUM BICARBONATE. IF IRRITATION PERSISTS, CONTACT
    PHYSICIAN. EYES: FLUSH WITH WATER FOR 15 MINUTES, LIFTING UPPER AND
    LOWER LIDS	OCCASIONALLY. GET IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION.
    INHALATION: MOVE TO FRESH AIR. IF BREATHING HAS STOPPED, GIVE
    ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION, THEN OXYGEN IF NEEDED. CONTACT PHYSICIAN.
    INGESTION: DO NOT INDUCE  VOMITING. DRINK LARGE QUANTITIES OF
    WATER, FOLLOW  WITH MILK OF MAGNESIA, BEATEN EGGS, OR VEGETABLE
    OIL. GET PROMPT MEDICAL ATTENTION. NEVER GIVE ANYTHING BY MOUTH TO
    UNCONSCIOUS PERSON.

=====================  Fire Fighting Measures  =====================

Flash Point Method:CC
Flash Point:=42.8C, 109.F
Autoignition Temp:=465.C, 869.F
Lower Limits:5.4
Upper Limits:16.0
Extinguishing Media:USE CARBON DIOXIDE(CO2), DRY CHEMICAL, ALCOHOL
    FOAM. LARGE SPILLS, USE WATER SPRAY OR ALCOHOL FOAM. WATER IN A
    STRAIGHT STREAM  WILL SCATTER AND SPREAD FIRE AND SHOULD NOT BE
    USED.
Fire Fighting Procedures:USE WATER SPRAY TO COOL CONTAINERS. WEAR
    NIOSH/MSHA APPROVED SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS AND FULL
    PROTECTIVE CLOTHING. GIVES OFF FLAMMABLE VAPOR ABOVE FLASH
    POINT(109F). VAPOR FORMS EXPLOSIVE M IX WITH AIR. DANGEROUS IN
    CONTACT WITH CHROMIC ACID, SODIUM PEROXIDE, NITRIC ACID OR OTHER
    OXIDIZING MATERIALS.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:VAPORS ARE HEAVIER THAN AIR AND MAY
    TRAVEL ALONG THE GROUND OR MOVED BY VENTILATION AND IGNITED BY HEAT
    OR SPARK. ACID REACTS WITH MOST METALS TO RELEASE HYDROGEN GAS
    WHICH CAN FORM EXPLOSIVE MIX WITH  AIR. CAN REACT VIGOROUSLY WITH
    OXIDIZING MATERIALS. MAY PRODUCE ACID BURNS TO SKIN AND EYES.

==================  Accidental Release Measures  ==================

Spill Release Procedures:ELIMINATE IGNITION SOURCES. COVER WITH SODA
    ASH OR SODIUM BICARBONATE TO NEUTRALIZE. PLACE LEAKING CONTAINERS
    IN WELL VENTILATED AREA WITH SPILL CONTAMINANT.IF FIRE POTENTIAL
    EXISTS, BLANKET SPILL WIT H ALCOHOL-TYPE AQUEOUS FILM-FORMING FOAM.
    COVER SPILL WITH ABSORBENT MATERIAL AND PLACE IN SUITABLE CONTAINER
    FOR DISPOSAL. AVOID RUNOFF TO SEWERS AND DITCHES WHICH LEAD TO
    NATURAL WATERWAYS.
Neutralizing Agent:SODA ASH OR SODIIUM BICARBONATE.

======================	Handling and Storage  ======================

Handling and Storage Precautions:STORE IN WELL-VENTILATED AREA AWAY
    FROM HEAT, SPARKS, AND OPEN FLAME. KEEP IN TIGHTLY CLOSED
    CONTAINER, AT TEMP ABOVE 17C(63F). STORE SEPARATE FROM OXIDIZING
    AND COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS. REMOVE CAP SLOW LY. DO NOT WEAR CONTACT
    LENSES WHEN WORKING WITH CHEMICALS.
Other Precautions:AVOID CONTACT WITH EYES, SKIN AND CLOTHING. AVOID
    BREATHING VAPOR. USE ADEQUATE VENTILATION. WASH THOROUGHLY AFTER
    HANDLING. REMOVE AND WASH CONTAMINATED CLOTHING. PROTECT AGAINST
    PHYSICAL DAMAGE. IF  FROZEN, THAW BY MOVING CLOSED CONTAINER TO
    WARM AREA. FOR LAB USE ONLY. NOT FOR DRUG, FOOD, HOUSEHOL D USE.

=============  Exposure Controls/Personal Protection  =============

Respiratory Protection:FOR LABORATORY USE,  WORK IN VENTILATION HOOD OR
    WEAR A NIOSH/MSHA APPROVED RESPIRATOR.
Ventilation:LOCAL/MECHANICAL(GENERAL):RECOMMENDED.
Protective Gloves:RUBBER
Eye Protection:CHEMICAL SAFETY GOGGLES, FACE SHIELD.
Other Protective Equipment:GOGGLES AND SHIELD, LAB COAT, APRON, VENT
    HOOD, PROPER GLOVES, FIRE EXTINGUISHER, EYE WASH STATION.
Work Hygienic Practices:KEEP IN TIGHTLY CLOSED CONTAINER WHEN NOT IN
    USE. AVOID CONTACT WITH EYES, SKIN, CLOTHING. REMOVE AND LAUNDER
    CONTAMINATED CLOTHING. WASH THOROUGHLY AFTER HANDLING. KEEP OUT OF
