HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION – : Corrosive

Main Hazards :
1. Eye Contact : R 36 / 38 Cause severe burns with damage to eyes and possible
blindness.
2. Ingestion : R 34 Can cause burns to mouth, throat, esophagus and stomach.
May be fatal.
3. Inhalation : R 20 / 21 /22 Inhalation of dust may damage upper respiratory tract
and lung tissue which may cause chemical pneumonia
4. Skin Contact : Can cause burns, irritations and rash
5. Other Health Effects : Irritation or damage to respiratory tract tissue and increased
susceptibility to respiratory illness.

5. FIRST AID MEASURES

1. Eye Contact : Flush eyes with plenty of water. Hold lids apart to ensure flushing of
entire surface to prevent or relieve irritation. If irritation persists,
seek medical attention.
2. Ingestion : Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person, obtain
immediate medical attention. If vomiting occurs spontaneously, keep
airway clear. If swallowed give large amounts of water and induce
vomiting. Seek immediate medical attention.
3. Inhalation : Remove person from contaminated area. If breathing has stopped,
resuscitate and administer oxygen if available. Seek immediate
medical attention
4. Skin Contact : Immediately wash contaminated skin with plenty of water. Remove
contaminated clothing and footwear. Wash clothing before reuse.
Discard footwear if it can not be decontaminated. If irritation
continues, seek medical attention.

6. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES

1. Flash Point : Not applicable

2. Auto Ignition : Product is not self igniting
3. Flammable Range : Not flammable in nature, but if involved in a fire, it will generate
toxic oxides of carbon. In the presence of water, material may react
with amphoteric metals (such as aluminium, zinc or tin) generating
hydrogen gas which will burn or explode if ignited
4. Extinguishing Media : Water fog or spray / carbon dioxide / foam
5. Special Fire-Fighting : Wear NIOSH approved full protective clothing & self-contained
breathing apparatus. Keep containers cool to prevent rupture and
release of material.

7. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
