INHALATION:
HIGH CONCENTRATIONS OF VAPOR OR MIST MAY CAUSE NOSE, THROAT AND RESPIRATORY
TRACT IRRITATION. SYMPTOMS MAY INCLUDE COUGHING, WHEEZING AND SHORTNESS OF
BREATH.

4. FIRST AID MEASURES

EYES:
IMMEDIATELY FLUSH EYES WITH PLENTY OF WATER WHILE HOLDING EYELIDS APART.
AFTER INITIAL, FLUSHING, REMOVE ANY CONTACT LENSES AND CONTINUE FLUSHING FOR
AT LEAST 15 MINUTES. DO NOT PUT ANY MEDICATION IN THE VICTIMS'S EYE UNLESS
INSTRUCTED BY A PHYSICIAN. GET IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION.

SKIN:
IMMEDIATELY FLUSH WITH PLENTY OF WATER FOR AT LEAST 15 MINUTES, THEN WASH
WITH SOAP AND WATER. IMMEDIATELY REMOVE CONTAMINATED CLOTHING. GET IMMEDIATE
ATTENTION IF IRRITATION DEVELOPS OR PERSISTS. THOROUGHLY WASH (OR DISCARD)
CLOTHING BEFORE REUSE. DESTROY CONTAMINATED SHOES.

INGESTION:
DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. DRINK LARGE QUANTITIES OF WATER. GET IMMEDIATE
MEDICAL ATTENTION. NEVER GIVE ANYTHING BY MOUTH TO AN UNCONSCIOUS PERSON.

INHALATION:
REMOVE TO FRESH AIR. IF NOT BREATHING, GIVE RESPIRATION; IF BREATHING IS
DIFFICULT, GIVE OXYGEN (BY TRAINED PERSONNEL ONLY). GET MEDICAL ATTENTION
IF SYMPTOMS PERSIST.

5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES

FLASH POINT AND METHOD: >200'F 93'C TCC

FLAMMABLE LIMITS:
NOT APPLICABLE.

EXTINGUISHING MEDIA:
USE EXTINGUISHING MEDIA APPROPRIATE FOR SURROUNDING FIRE.

HAZARDOUS COMBUSTION PRODUCTS:
HYDROCHLORIC ACID CAN REACT WITH COMMON METALS TO FORM POTENTIALLY EXPLOSIVE
HYDROGEN GAS.

FIRE FIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS:
THIS PRODUCT IS NOT FLAMMABLE. AS IN ANY FIRE, MSHA/NIOSH APPROVED SELF-
CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS (SCBA) AND FULL PROTECTIVE GEAR SHOULD BE
WORN.
_____________________________________________________________________________
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURE

SEE SECTION 8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION AND SECTION 3,
HAZARD IDENTIFICATION. FLOORS MAY BE SLIPPERY. USE CARE TO AVOID FALLING.
CONTAIN AND ISOLATE SPILL. KEEP NON-ESSENTIAL PERSONNEL FROM ENTERING SPILL
AREA. USE MOP AND ABSORBENT TO COLLECT MATERIAL FOR PROPER DISPOSAL. USE
NON-METALLIC IMPLEMENTS FOR CLEANING AND COLLECTION. RINSE AREA WITH WATER.
_____________________________________________________________________________
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE

HANDLING:
FOLLOWING LABEL USE DIRECTIONS. DO NOT MIX WITH OTHER CHEMICALS UNLESS
INSTRUCTED BY LABEL DIRECTIONS. AVOID CONTACT WITH EYES, SKIN AND CLOTHING.
AVOID BREATHING VAPOR OR MIST. WASH THOROUGHLY AFTER HANDLING. IMMEDIATELY
REMOVE CONTAMINATED CLOTHING. WASH CLOTHING AND EQUIPMENT BEFORE REUSE.
DESTROY CONTAMINATED SHOES. EMPTY CONTAINERS RETAIN RESIDUE AND MAY BE
HAZARDOUS (SEE SECTION 14, TRANSPORT INFORMATION).

STORAGE:
KEEP CONTAINER CLOSED WHEN NOT IN USE. STORE AWAY FROM INCOMPATIBLE
MATERIALS. (SEE SECTION 10, STABILITY AND REACTIVITY).
_____________________________________________________________________________
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION

ENGINEERING CONTROLS:
GOOD GENERAL ROOM VENTILATION IS EXPECTED TO BE ADEQUATE. IF USER OPERATIONS
GENERATE MIST, VENTILATION SHOULD BE USED TO KEEP AIRBORNE CONCENTRATIONS
BELOW EXPOSURE LIMITS (SEE SECTION 2, COMPOSITION/INFORMATION ON
INGREDIENTS).

PERSONAL PROTECTION
EYE:
WHERE EYE CONTACT IS POSSIBLE, WEAR CHEMICAL SPLASH GOGGLES (ANSI Z87.1-
APPROVED).

SKIN:
WHERE SKIN CONTACT IS POSSIBLE, CHEMICAL-RESISTANT GLOVES SHOULD BE WORN.
WHEN ADDITIONAL SKIN CONTACT IS POSSIBLE, OTHER PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT AND
CLOTHING (E.G., FOOTWEAR) MAY BE NEEDED. ALL CONTAMINATED CLOTHING SHOULD
BE REMOVED IMMEDIATELY AND CLEANED (OR DISCARDED) BEFORE REUSE.

RESPIRATORY:
NO RESPIRATORY PROTECTION IS REQUIRED IF GENERAL IF GENERAL ROOM VENTILATION
IS ADEQUATE AND AIRBORNE CONCENTRATIONS ARE KEPT
BELOW EXPOSURE LIMITS. WHEN EXPOSURE LIMITS ARE EXCEEDED, USE APPROPRIATE
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION (NIOSH/MSHA) TO PREVENT OVEREXPOSURE. FOR
HYDROCHLORIC ACID, USE AN APPROVED RESPIRATOR EQUIPPED WITH AN ACID GAS
CARTRIDGE.
