Extinguishing Media:

Special Fire Fighting Procedures:

NIOSH/MSHA pressure-demand, self-contained breathing

apparatus should be provided for fire fighters in building or

confined spaces where this product is stored.

Unusual Fire and Explosive Hazards:

Will give off toxic corrosive fumes of HCI at high temperatures.

Reacts with most metals to produce hydrogen gas which can

form explosives in the air.

Stability:

Stable

Conditions to Avoid:

Excessive heat.

Incompatibility (Materials to Avoid):

Metals, especially alkaline earth metals, reducing agents,

alkalis, organic and oxidizable materials.

Hazardous Decomposition of Byproducts:

May emit highly toxic chloride and chlorine fumes.

Hydrogen may be liberated in contact with certain metals.

Hazardous Polymerization:

Will not occur.

SECTION 6. HEALTH HAZARD DATA

Routes of Entry: Eye contact, Skin contact, Inhalation, Ingestion

HEALTH HAZARDS (Acute and Chronic):

ACUTE EXPOSURE: Causes severe irritation and damage to eyes, and may cause blindness very rapidly.

Causes skin burns and possible deep ulceration. Inhalation of vapor or mist can cause damage to nasal

and respiratory passages. Ingestion can result in death on penetration to vital areas.

CHRONIC EXPOSURE: Prolonged or repeated eye contact may cause conjunctivitis. Prolonged or repeated

skin contact, especially with broken skin, may cause "chrome sores" or dermatitis.

SECTION 7. PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE HANDLING AND USE

PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN DURING APPLICATION AND CLEANUP PROCESS: Do not permit runoff during

application, rinsing, and cleanup. Collect with wet vacuum or absorb with inert material. Dispose of all

residue, runoff liquid, used absorbent material, and discarded equipment in accordance with all federal,

state, and local regulations.

PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN IF MATERIAL IS SPILLED: Follow procedures outlined

in Section 8 - Control

Measures

when cleaning up spills. Liquid material may be slippery. Cordon off area. Spilled material

may stain the floor. Absorb with inert material or clean up with wet/dry vacuum and place in labeled

waste container for neutralization and disposal together with any materials contaminated during cleanup.

WASTE DISPOSAL METHOD: This product is not listed as a hazardous waste on Federal regulations,

Resources Conservation & Recovery Act (RCRA) 40 CFR 261. Neutralize by adding baking soda in water

to the acid stain to be disposed. The acid stain is neutralized when no fizzing occurs after adding baking

soda. Dispose in compliance with local, state, and federal regulations.

HANDLING AND STORING PRECAUTIONS: Aviod contact with skin, eyes, and clothing. Store upright in a

cool, dry, well-ventilated area in tightly closed containers away from combustible materials and sources

of heat. Isolate from incompatible materials. Protect from physical damage. Do not reuse empty containers.

RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: Wear acid vapor respirator NIOSH/MSHAA TC 23C approved. For respiratory

protection guidelines refer to OSHA 29 CRF 1910.134.

VENTILATION: Adequate ventilation and sufficient local exhaust as needed to maintain exposure below TWA

and TLV limits.

PROTECTIVE GLOVES: Wear chemical-resistance gloves.

EYE PROTECTION: Wear chemical splash goggles.

OTHER PROTECTIVE CLOTHING OR EQUIPMENT: Wear suitable protective clothing, chemical resistant apron

and boots to avoid skin contact. Emergency eyewash and washing facilities should be available nearby.

WORK/HANDLING PRACTICES: Minimize exposure by wearing protective clothing. Wash with soap and water

immediately after handling.

Prolonged or repeated inhalation of mist may cause ulceration and perforation of the nasal septum.

Epidemiological studies indicate that long-term exposure to high levels of mist in the Chromate-producing

industry is associated with increases in respiratory tract cancer in man; the causative agent is not know.

Thus far, epidemiological studies have not demonstrated any increased risk of lung cancer at levels below

current TLV.

Cardinogenicity:

NTP - YES

IAARC Monographs - YES

OSHA Regulated - NO

SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF EXPOSURE:

INHALATION: Irritation of the upper respiratory tract, coughing, sore throat, and shortness of

breath.

EYES: Stinging or burning.

SKIN: Irritation, redness, and burning.

INGESTION: Burning in mouth and throat, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea or dizziness.

MEDICAL CONDITION GENERALLY AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE: Dermatitis and breathing disorders.

EMERGENCY AND FIRST AID PROCEDURES:

INHALATION: Move to fresh air. If breathing is difficult, administer oxygen. If breathing has stopped, give

artificial respiration.

SKIN: Immediately wash exposed area thoroughly. Remove soiled clothing and footwear and wash before

reuse. Discard shoes comtaminated with this product. If symptoms persist or develop, get medical

attention.

INGESTION: Do not induce vomiting. Vomiting will cause further damage to the esophagus. Give several

glasses of milk or water. Keep warm, quiet. GET MEDICAL ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY!

EYES: Flush immediately with large amounts of water while holding eyelids apart. Flushing within one

minute is essential to achieve maximum effectiveness. GET MEDICAL ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY AFTER
