COMPOSITION AND INFORMATION ON INGREDIENTS Component: CAS Number: Concentration (%): Nitric acid, magnesium salt, hexahydrate 4. FIRST AID MEASURES Description of Necessary First Aid Measures: Inhalation: Remove casualty to fresh air. Seek medical attention if symptoms persist. Skin Contact: In case of skin contact, immediately remove contaminated clothing and wash affected areas with water and soap. Seek medical attention if Page 2 of 8

3 Eye Contact: Ingestion: First Aid Facilities: symptoms persist. Launder clothing before reuse. In case of eye contact, rinse cautiously with water for several minutes. Remove contact lenses if present and easy to do so. Continue rinsing. Seek medical attention if symptoms persist. Rinse mouth and give 2-3 glasses of water. Do not induce vomiting. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Seek immediate medical attention. To prevent aspiration of swallowed product, lay victim on side with head lower than waist. If vomiting occurs and the victim is conscious, give water to further dilute the chemical.. Ensure washing facilities, including an eyewash, are available and maintained. Symptoms caused by Exposure: Inhalation: No data available Skin Contact: No data available Eye Contact: No data available. Ingestion: No data available Medical Attention and Special Treatment: None specified. 5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES Suitable Extinguishing Equipment: Specific Hazards arising from the Chemical: Special Protective Equipment and Precautions for Fire Fighters: Use any means suitable for extinguishing surrounding fire. Oxides of magnesium, nitrogen and irritating and toxic fumes. Oxidising solid. May explode from heat or contamination. May react explosively with hydrocarbons (fuels). May ignite combustibles. Substance undergoes violent decomposition when in contact with dimethyl formamide. Wear Safe Work Australia approved self-contained breathing apparatus with positive pressure and full protective clothing. 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES Personal Precautions, Protective Equipment and Emergency Procedures: Environmental Precautions: Wear Safe Work Australia approved self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing. Evacuate all non-essential personnel from affected area. Ensure adequate ventilation. Prevent dust formation. Do not breathe dust. In the event of a major spill, prevent spillage from entering drains or water courses. Page 3 of 8

4 Methods and Materials for Containment and Cleaning Up: Stop leak if safe to do so and contain spill. Sweep up and place into a suitable container and dispose. Prevent dust formation. 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE Precautions for Safe Handling: Conditions for Safe Storage, including any Incompatibilities: Use of safe work practices are recommended to avoid eye or skin contact and inhalation of dusts. Minimize dust generation and accumulation. Use only outdoors or in a well-ventilated area. Food, beverages and tobacco products should not be stored or consumed where this material is in use. Always wash hands before smoking, eating, drinking or using the toilet. Wash contaminated clothing and other protective equipment before storage or re-use. Provide eyewash fountains and safety showers in close proximity to points of potential exposure. Store in a tightly closed original container in a cool, dry, well ventilated area. Protect from extreme humidity, water and excessive heat. Keep away from reducing agents, organic materials, alkalis and strong acids. Do not store near clothing and other combustible materials. 8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS AND PERSONAL PROTECTION Exposure Standards: Biological Monitoring: Control Banding: Engineering Controls: Individual Protection Measures e.g. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): TWA 10 mg/m 3 ACGIH (nuisance dust - inhalable particulate) TWA 3 mg/m 3 ACGIH (nuisance dust - respirable particulate) TWA 15 mg/m 3 OSHA-PEL (total dust) Not available. Not available. Provide adequate ventilation or other engineering controls to keep the airborne concentrations of dust below occupational exposure standards. Observe normal hygiene standards. Keep container tightly closed. Do not eat, drink or smoke during work. Eye and Face Protection: Safety glasses with top and side shields or goggles. See Australian Standards AS 1336 and AS/NZS 1337 for more information. Skin Protection: Protective gloves and protective clothing. See Australian Standards AS/NZS 2161, and for more information. Respiratory Protection: Disposable particulate mask or appropriate respirator when ventilation is inadequate. See Australian Standards AS/NZS 1715 and 1716 for more information.
