FIRST AID MEASURES General Advice Skin Contact Eye Contact Inhalation Ingestion Aggravated Medical Conditions Show this Safety Data Sheet to the Doctor in attendance Immediately remove contaminated clothing and wash before reuse Immediately flush skin with plenty of cool running water for at least 15 minutes Immediate Medical Attention is required if irritation persists or burns develop In case of eye contact, remove contact lens and rinse immediately with plenty of water, also under the eyelids, for at least 15 minutes Keep eyes wide open while rinsing Immediate medical attention is required If affected, move to fresh air If breathing is difficult, give oxygen If not breathing, give artificial respiration Immediate medical attention is required If swallowed, immediately drink a large quantity of raw egg, milk or milk of magnesia then drink 3-4 glasses of water Do not give Carbonates or Bicarbonates Do not induce vomiting Rinse mouth thoroughly Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person Immediate medical attention is required Respiratory (if mists or vapors inhaled) 5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES Flash Point Suitable Extinguishing Media Extinguishing media which must not be used for safety reasons Specific Hazards Special exposure hazards arising from the substance, or preparation itself, its Water spray As appropriate for surrounding fire product will not burn Cool exposed containers with water spray to prevent pressure build-up Toxic Hydrogen Chloride fumes may be released in a fire Must wear NIOSH approved self-contained breathing apparatus and protective clothing Avoid exposure to mists and splashes Can react with soft metals such as Aluminum or Zinc generating hydrogen gas which is flammable and/or combustible in the presence of an ignition source Page 2 of 6

3 combustion products or released gases Special Protective Equipment for fire-fighters Specific Methods As in any fire, wear NIOSH approved self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective gear Cool containers / Tanks with water spray Fire residues and contaminated fire extinguishing water must be disposed of in accordance with local regulations 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES Personal Precautions Environmental Precautions Methods for cleaning up Handling Technical Measures/Precautions Safe Handling Advice Storage Technical Measures/Precautions Incompatible Products Specific use(s) Do not inhale mist, do not in eyes or skin, do not swallow Use personal protective equipment Dilute waste with water and neutralize very carefully with dilute alkali and discharge in accordance with Government Regulations Small spills: Wash down with large quantities of water in sanitary sewer Large spills: Dike to prevent runoff. Reclaim as much as possible. Absorb remainder with inert material (sand or vermiculite) and place in compatible container for disposal. Flush residue with large amounts of water into sanitary sewer. Cleaning up personnel should wear appropriate protective equipment 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE Avoid contact with skin, eyes Do not inhale mist, do not get in eyes or on skin, do not swallow Wash hands immediately after contact to avoid hand-eye transfer Keep containers tightly closed in a cool, dry area away from oxidizers Store in properly labeled containers Do not contaminate water, food or feed Do not reuse empty containers they may contain residues Avoid contact with alkaline materials or strong oxidizers Avoid contact with aluminum, zinc, other soft metal or galvanized metal Rust Remover 8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/ PERSONAL PROTECTION Engineering Measures The use of local exhaust ventilation is not a necessity Page 3 of 6

4 If vapors or mist in air, use corrosion-resistant ventilation equipment Personal Protective Equipment Hand Protection Neoprene or rubber gloves with cuffs Eye Protection Tightly fitting chemical splash goggles For continued or severe exposure wear a face shield over goggles Respiratory Protection Skin and Body Protection Hygiene Measures Environmental Exposure Controls Safety eyebath nearby None, if used in adequately ventilated area In case of insufficient ventilation, wear NIOSH approved respiratory equipment Use chemical protective clothing for repeated or prolonged contact Coveralls, apron, gloves, rubber boots should be worn Suitable facilities for quick drenching or flushing within the work area, for emergency use When using, do not eat, drink or smoke Regular cleaning of equipment, work area and clothing Wear suitable gloves and eye/face protection For environmental protection, remove and wash all contaminated protective equipment before re-use Do not inhale mist, do not get into eyes or on skin, do not swallow General Information Physical State Color Odor 9.
