3-chloroperbenzoic acid

Guidance on Safe Use

First-aid measures

General Advice: Immediate medical attention is required. Show this safety data sheet to the doctor in attendance.

Eye Contact: Rinse immediately with plenty of water, also under the eyelids, for at least 15 minutes. Immediate medical attention is required. Keep eye wide open while rinsing.

Skin Contact: Wash off immediately with soap and plenty of water while removing all contaminated clothes and shoes. Call a physician immediately.

Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting. Immediate medical attention is required. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Drink plenty of water.

Inhalation: Move to fresh air. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Do not use mouth-to-mouth resuscitation if victim ingested or inhaled the substance; induce artificial respiration with a respiratory medical device. Call a physician or Poison Control Center immediately.

Protection of First-aiders: Ensure that medical personnel are aware of the material(s) involved, take precautions to protect themselves and prevent spread of contamination.

Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed:

Causes burns by all exposure routes. Product is a corrosive material. Use of gastric lavage or emesis is contraindicated. Possible perforation of stomach or esophagus should be investigated: Ingestion causes severe swelling, severe damage to the delicate tissue and danger of perforation.

Notes to Physician: Treat symptomatically.

Fire-fighting measures

Suitable Extinguishing Media: CO 2, dry chemical, dry sand, alcohol-resistant foam.

Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture:

The product causes burns of eyes, skin and mucous membranes. Organic peroxide. May undergo hazardous decomposition.

Hazardous Combustion Products:

Carbon monoxide (CO), Carbon dioxide (CO2), Hydrogen chloride gas, Thermal decomposition can lead to release of irritating

gases and vapors.

Advice for firefighters:

As in any fire, wear self-contained breathing apparatus pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent) and full protective gear. Thermal decomposition can lead to release of irritating gases and vapors.

Accidental release measures

Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures"

Use personal protective equipment. Evacuate personnel to safe areas. Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing.

Environmental precautions:

Should not be released into the environment. Do not allow material to contaminate ground water system.

Methods and material for containment and cleaning up:

Sweep up or vacuum up spillage and collect in suitable container for disposal. Avoid dust formation.

Handling and storage

Precautions for safe handling:

Use only under a chemical fume hood. Wear personal protective equipment. Do not get in eyes, on skin, or on clothing. Do not ingest. Do not breathe dust.

Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities:

Keep containers tightly closed in a dry, cool and well-ventilated place. Corrosives area. Keep refrigerated. Do not store near combustible materials.

Specific end use(s):

Use in laboratories.

Exposure controls / personal protection

Exposure limits:

This product, as supplied, does not contain any hazardous materials with occupational exposure limits established by the region specific regulatory bodies

Biological limit values: This product, as supplied, does not contain any hazardous materials with biological limits established by the region specific regulatory bodies.

Monitoring methods:

BS EN 14042:2003 Title Identifier: Workplace atmospheres. Guide for the application and use of procedures for the assessment of exposure to chemical and biological agents.

Predicted No Effect Concentration

(PNEC)

No information available.

Exposure controls:

Engineering Measures:

Use only under a chemical fume hood. Ensure that eyewash stations and safety showers are close to the workstation location.

Wherever possible, engineering control measures such as the isolation or enclosure of the process, the introduction of process or

equipment changes to minimise release or contact, and the use of properly designed ventilation systems, should be adopted to control hazardous materials at source

Personal protective equipment:

Eye Protection Goggles (European standard - EN 166)

Hand Protection: Protective gloves

Skin and body protection: Long sleeved clothing Inspect gloves before use.

Please observe the instructions regarding permeability and breakthrough time which are provided by the supplier of the gloves.

(Refer to manufacturer/supplier for information)

Ensure gloves are suitable for the task: Chemical compatability, Dexterity, Operational conditions, User susceptibility, e.g. sensitisation effects, also take into consideration the specific local conditions under which the product is used, such as the danger

of cuts, abrasion. Remove gloves with care avoiding skin contamination.

Respiratory Protection: When workers are facing concentrations above the exposure limit they must use appropriate certified respirators.

To protect the wearer, respiratory protective equipment must be the correct fit and be used and maintained properly

Large scale/emergency use: Use a NIOSH/MSHA or European Standard EN 136 approved respirator if exposure limits are exceeded or if irritation or other symptoms are experienced

Recommended Filter type: Particulates filter conforming to EN 143

Small scale/Laboratory use: Use a NIOSH/MSHA or European Standard EN 149:2001 approved respirator if exposure limits are exceeded or if irritation or other symptoms are experienced.

Recommended half mask: Particle filtering: EN149:2001

When RPE is used a face piece Fit Test should be conductedHygiene Measures Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice.

Environmental exposure controls: No information available.

Disposal considerations

Waste treatment methods:

Waste is classified as hazardous. Dispose of in accordance with the European Directives on waste and hazardous waste. Dispose of in accordance with local regulations.

Contaminated Packaging: Dispose of this container to hazardous or special waste collection point. Empty containers retain product residue, (liquid and/or vapor), and can be dangerous. Keep product and empty container away from heat and sources of ignition.

European Waste Catalogue (EWC) According to the European Waste Catalogue, Waste Codes are not product specific, but

Application specific.

Other Information: Waste codes should be assigned by the user based on the application for which the product was used. Do not dispose of waste into sewer. Can be incinerated, when in compliance with local regulations. Do not empty into drains. Large amounts will affect pH and harm aquatic organisms.
