Guidance on Safe Use
Administrative data
First-aid measures
General advice:Seek medical advice. If breathing has stopped or is labored, give assisted respirations. Supplemental oxygen may be indicated. If the heart has stopped, trained personnel should begin cardiopulmonary resuscitation immediately.
Ingestion:Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. If a person vomits when lying on his back, place him in the recovery position. Prevent aspiration of vomit. Turn victim's head to the side.
Inhalation:If breathing has stopped or is labored, give assisted respirations. Supplemental oxygen may be indicated. If the heart has stopped, trained personnel should begin cardiopulmonary resuscitation immediately. Move to fresh air.
Symptoms :Repeated and/or prolonged exposure to low concentrations of vapors and/or aerosols may cause: Sore throat.
Fire-fighting measures
Suitable extinguishing media:Alcohol-resistant foam.
Carbon dioxide (CO2).
Dry chemical.
Dry sand.
Limestone powder.
Specific hazards:May generate ammonia gas. May generate toxic nitrogen oxide gases. Use of water may result in the formation of very toxic aqueous solutions. Do not allow run-off from fire fighting to enter drains or water courses. Incomplete combustion may form carbon monoxide. Downwind personnel must be evacuated. Burning produces noxious and toxic fumes.
Special protective equipment for fire-fighters:Avoid contact with the skin. A face shield should be worn. Use personal protective equipment. Wear self contained breathing apparatus for fire fighting if necessary.
Further information:Do not allow run-off from fire fighting to enter drains or water courses.
Accidental release measures
Personal precautions:Use self-contained breathing apparatus and chemically protective clothing. Wear suitable protective clothing, gloves and eye/face protection. Evacuate personnel to safe areas.
Environmental precautions :Construct a dike to prevent spreading. Construct a dike to prevent spreading.
Methods for cleaning up :Approach suspected leak areas with caution. Contact Air Products' Emergency Response Center for advice. Place in appropriate chemical waste container.
Additional advice:Open enclosed spaces to outside atmosphere. If possible, stop flow of product.
Handling and storage
Handling
Emergency showers and eye wash stations should be readily accessible. Adhere to work practice rules established by government regulations. Avoid breathing vapors and/or aerosols. Avoid contact with eyes. Use only in well-ventilated areas. Use personal protective equipment. When using, do not eat, drink or smoke.
Storage
Do not store near acids. Keep containers tightly closed in a dry, cool and well-ventilated place.
Technical measures/Precautions
Do not store in reactive metal containers.

Exposure controls / personal protection
Engineering measures
Provide readily accessible eye wash stations and safety showers.
Provide natural or explosion-proof ventilation adequate to ensure concentrations are kept below exposure limits.
Personal protective equipment
Respiratory protection:Wear appropriate respirator when ventilation is inadequate.
Hand protection:Neoprene gloves.
Butyl-rubber
Nitrile rubber.
Chemical-resistant, impervious gloves complying with an approved standard should be worn at all times when handling chemical products if a risk assessment indicates this is necessary.
Eye protection:Chemical resistant goggles must be worn.
Environmental exposure controls:Construct a dike to prevent spreading.
Special instructions for protection and hygiene:Discard contaminated leather articles. Provide readily accessible eye wash stations and safety showers. Wash hands at the end of each workshift and before eating, smoking or using the toilet. Provide readily accessible eye wash stations and safety showers.
Stability and reactivity
Chemical Stability:Stable under normal conditions.
Reactivity/Incompatible Materials:Sodium hypochlorite.
Organic acids (i.e. acetic acid, citric acid etc.).
Mineral acids.
Product slowly corrodes copper, aluminum, zinc and galvanized surfaces.
Reaction with peroxides may result in violent decomposition of peroxide possibly creating an explosion.
Oxidizing agents.
Hazardous decomposition products:Nitric acid.
Ammonia
Nitrogen oxides (NOx).
Nitrogen oxide can react with water vapors to form corrosive nitric acid.
Carbon monoxide.
Carbon dioxide (CO2).
Disposal considerations
Waste from residues / unused products:Contact supplier if guidance is required.
