LD50 LC50 Mixture:ORAL RAT LD50: 3.3G/KG
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:SKIN: CAN CAUSE CHEMICAL BURN. EYE:
    CAMCAUSE CHEMICAL BURN. DAMAGE IRREVERSIBLE. VAPORS ARE SEVERELY
    IRRITATING. INHALTION: CAUSES SEVERE IRRITATION OF NASAL PASSAGES,
    THROAT AND LUNGS. CAN CAUSE PULM ONARY EDEMA. INGESTION: CAUSES
    SEVERE IRRITATION OF AND DAMAGE TO MOUTH, THROAT AND STOMACH. MAY
    BE FATAL.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:NO DATA PROVIDED BY MANUFACTURER
Effects of Overexposure:SKIN: CAN CAUSE CHEMICAL BURN. EYE: CAMCAUSE
    CHEMICAL BURN. DAMAGE IRREVERSIBLE. VAPORS ARE SEVERELY IRRITATING.
    INHALTION: CAUSES SEVERE IRRITATION OF NASAL PASSAGES, THROAT AND
    LUNGS. CAN CAUSE PULM ONARY EDEMA. INGESTION: CAUSES SEVERE
    IRRITATION OF AND DAMAGE TO MOUTH, THROAT AND STOMACH. MAY BE

Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:NO DATA PROVIDED BY MANUFACTURER

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

First Aid:SKIN: IMMEDIATELY FLUSH EXPOSED AREA WITH WATER, THEN WATER
    CONTAINING SODIUM BICARBONATE. IF IRRITATION PERSISTS, CONTACT
    PHYSICIAN. EYE: FLUSH THOROUGHLY WITH WATER FOR AT LEAST 15
    MINUTES, LIFTING  UPPER AND LOWER EYELIDS OCCASIONALLY. GET
    IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION. INHALTION: REMOVE TO FRESH AIR. IF
    BREATHING HAS STOPPED, GIVE ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION, THEN OXYGEN IF
    NEEDED. CONTACT A PHYSICIAN  IMMEDIATELY. 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 AN UNCONSCIOUS PERSON.

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

Flash Point Method:CC
Flash Point:=42.8C, 109.F
Autoignition Temp:=484.C, 903.2F
Lower Limits:5.4
Upper Limits:16.0
Extinguishing Media:CARBON DIOXIDE, DRY CHEMICAL, ALCOHOL FOAM. LARGE
    SPILLS: USE WATER SPRAY OR ALCOHOL FOAM.
Fire Fighting Procedures:WATER IN A STRAIGHT HOSE STREAM WILL SCATTER
    AND SPREAD FIRE AND SHOULD NOT BE USED. USE WATER SPRAY TO COOL
    CONTAINER. WEAR A NIOSH/MSHA APPROVED SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING
    APPARATUS AND FULL PROTECTIV E CLOTHING. GIVES OFF FLAMMABLE VAPOR
    ABOVE ITS FLASH POINT, 109F. VAPOR FORMS EXPLOSIVE MIXTURE WITH
    AIR.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:VAPORS ARE HEAVIER THAN AIR AND MAY
    TRAVEL ALONG THE GROUND OR BE MOVED BY VENTILATION AND IGNITED BY
    HEAT OR SPARK. ACID REACTS WITH MOST METALS TO RELEASE HYDROGEN GAS
    WHICH CAN FORM EXPLOSIVE MIXTU RES WITH AIR. MODERATE FIRE HAZARD,
    WHEN EXPOSED TO HEAT AND FLAME; CAN REACT VIGOROUSLY WITH OXIDIZING
    MATERIALS.

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

Spill Release Procedures:ELIMINATE ALL SOURCES OF IGNITION. AVOID EYE
    AND SKIN CONTACT. TO NEUTRALIZE ODOR OR ACIDITY. COVER CONTAMINATED
    SURFACE WITH SODA ASH OR SODIUM BICARBONATE. PLACE LEAKING
    CONTAINERS IN A WELL VENTILA TED AREA WITH SPILL CONTAMINANT. IF
    FIRE POTENTIAL EXISTS, BLANKET SPILL WITH ALCOHOL-TYPE AQUEOUS
    FILM-FORMING FOAM. COVER SPILL WITH ABSORBENT MATEIAL AND PLACE IN
    SUITABLE CONTAINER FOR DISPOSAL.
Neutralizing Agent:COVER CONTAMINATED SURFACE WITH SODA ASH OR SODIUM
    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 TEMPERATURE ABOVE 17C(63F). STORE SEPARATES FROM OXIDIZING
    MATERIALS AND COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS.  REMOVE CAP SLOWLY.
Other Precautions:AVOID CONTACT WITH EYES, SKIN AND CLOTHING. AVOID
    BREATHING VAPOR. USE ADEQUATE VENTIALTION. WASH THOROUGHLY AFTER
    HANDLING. REMOVE AND WASH CONTAMINATED CLOTHING. PROTECT AGAINST
    PHYSICAL DAMAGE. IF  FROZEN. THAW BY MOVING CLOSED CONTAINER TO
    WARM AREA. KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.
