1. Product and Company Identification Effective Date: 05-11-2015 Revision: 00 Principal Use: Description: 2. Hazards Identification Stain Remover Imperial Industrial Technologies 8181 State Street South Gate, CA 90280 Telephone: (800) 280-1648 Colorless liquid with a pungent odor For medical information or in the event of a transportation emergency involving spills, leaks, or accidents, call CHEMTREC at (800) 424-9300. Outside US, call (703) 527-3887. Emergency Overview Appearance: Physical Hazards: Health Hazards: Colorless liquid with pungent odor Corrosive Causes severe eye irritation. May cause skin and respiratory tract irritation. * Hazard summary defined by OSHA Hazard Comm. Std., 29 CFR 1910.1200. Potential Health Effects: General: Ingestion: Eye Contact: Skin Contact: Skin Absorption: Inhalation: 3. Composition/Information on Ingredients Ingredients: This health hazard assessment based on information from commercial and scientific literature. May cause erosion to the esophagus and stomach with perforation and peritonitis. Ingestion causes burning pain in the mouth, throat, stomach and thorax, constriction of throat, and coughing. This is soon followed by vomiting of blood or by passage of loose stools containing blood. Ingestion of 3-4 ml may be fatal. Vapor is irritating to the eyes. Liquid will cause burns. Causes smarting of skin and first degree burns on short exposure. May cause second degree burns on long exposure. When absorbed, ammonia, because of its alkalinity and water solubility, tends to breakdown and disrupts the outer cell layers, permitting rapid penetration. Even so, ammonia is not a systemic poison and the effects will be limited to local effects. If inhaled, will cause nausea, vomiting, breathing difficulty and convulsions. Shock or loss of consciousness may result. Brief exposure to 5,000ppm may be fatal. %(w/w) OSHA PEL Page 1 of 5
Ammonia (CAS 7664-41-7) 28 Water (CAS7732-18-6) 72 50ppm Not listed Ingredients not precisely identified are proprietary or non hazardous. Values are not product specification 4. First Aid Measures: First Aid - Eyes: First Aid - Skin: First Aid - Ingestion: First Aid - Inhalation: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water. After initial flushing, remove any contact lenses and continue flushing for at least 15 minutes. Have eyes examined and treated by medical personnel. Wash material off skin with soap and pleny of water. If redness, itching or burning sensation develops, get medical attention Give 1 or 2 glasses of water to drink. If gastrointestinal symptoms develop, consult medical personnel. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Do not induce vomiting. Remove victim to fresh air. Give oxygen if breathing is difficult. If breathing has stopped, start artificial respiration. Keep victim calm and resting. If cough or other respiratory symptoms develop, consult medical personnel. 5. Fire Fighting Measures Flashpoint and Method: Will not flash Autoignition Temperature: 651 deg. C (1,204 deg, F) Flammable Limits: General Hazards: Firefighting Instructions: Firefighting Equipment: Haz Combustion Products: 6. Accidental Release Measures Upper:25% by volume Ammonia gas Lower: 16% by volume Ammonia gas The presence of oil or other combustible materials will increase the fire hazard. The explosive (flammable) range of ammonia is broadened by a mixture of oxygen replacing air, by temperature and pressure higher than atmospheric. Use media suitable for surrounding fire. Self contained breathing apparatus with full face piece operated in the pressure demand or other positive pressure mode and protective clothing. None known Spill Measures: Wear appropriate protective equipment. Dike to contain spill. Dilute with water, if necessary to reduce ammonia vaporization. Can br neutralized with dilute phosphoric or sulfuric acids. Vinegar will effectively neutralize small spills. Prevent runoff from entering streams, drinking water supply or sewers. Page 2 of 5
7. Handling and Storage Handling: Storage: Keep out of the reach of children. Do not get this produt in eyes, on skin or on clothing. Wear recommended personal protective equipment when handling this product. Do not breathe vapors, mists or aerosols. Use only with adequate ventilation. Keep container tightly closed when not in use. Wash thoroughly after handling this product. Avoid heating container of aqua ammonia. Keep container tightly closed. Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid heating containers of aqua ammonia. Avoid storage in close proximity to strong acids. 8. Exposure Controls/Personal Protection Exposure Guidelines: Engineering Controls: Respiratory Protection: Protective Clothing: Eye Protection: 9. Chemical and Physical Properties Appearance: Boiling Point: Vapor Pressure: The ACGIH TLV and OSHA PEL for ammonia are 25ppm and 50ppm, respectively. Use ventilation adequate to maintain safe levels. For industrial settings, provide eyewash station and safety shower in work area. If needed, use MSHA-NIOSH approved respirator for dusts, mists or fumes whose TLV is greater than 0.05 mg/m. ff needed, use gloves, apron and arm covers to avoid skin contact. Chemical tight goggles Colorless liquid with pungent odor 37.4 deg. C (99.3 deg. F (25% NH3) 720 @ 27 deg, C Vapor Density: 0.6 @ 0 deg. C (32 deg. F) Air = 1.0 Solubility in Water: 100% ph: 12-14 Specific Gravity - Density: about 7.5 lbs./gal. % Volatile: 14-30 10. Stability and Reactivity Stability Text: Incompatibility: Haz. Decomposition Products: Haz Polymerization Products: 11. Toxicological Information Possible Human Health Effects: Stable under normal conditions. Contact with mercury, chlorine, bromine, iodine, calcium, silver oxide or hypochlorite can form explosive compounds. Ammonia is lightly reactive and easily undergoes oxidation, substitution and addition reactions. Combustion of ammonia can yield small amounts of nitrogen and water. Will not occur Page 3 of 5
