| TYPES OF
HAZARD / EXPOSURE |
ACUTE HAZARDS / SYMPTOMS | PREVENTION | FIRST AID / FIRE FIGHTING |
| FIRE | Not combustible but
enhances combustion of other substances. Gives off irritating or toxic
fumes (or gases) in a fire. |
Powder, carbon dioxide.
NO hydrous agents. NO water. | |
| EXPLOSION | In case of fire: cool
drums, etc., by spraying with water but avoid contact of the substance
with water. | ||
 | |||
| EXPOSURE | STRICT HYGIENE!
|
IN ALL CASES CONSULT
A DOCTOR! | |
| Inhalation | Corrosive. Burning
sensation. Cough. Laboured breathing. Nausea. Shortness of breath. Sore
throat. |
Ventilation, local
exhaust, or breathing protection. |
Fresh air, rest.
Half-upright position. Refer for medical attention. |
| Skin | Redness. Serious skin
burns. Pain. |
Protective gloves.
Protective clothing. |
Remove contaminated
clothes. Rinse skin with plenty of water or shower. Refer for medical
attention. Apply calcium gluconate to the burn areas. |
| Eyes | Corrosive. Redness.
Pain. Severe deep burns. |
Face shield or eye
protection in combination with breathing protection. |
First rinse with plenty
of water for several minutes (remove contact lenses if easily possible),
then take to a doctor. |
| Ingestion | Abdominal cramps.
Abdominal pain. Burning sensation. Diarrhoea. Nausea. Vomiting.
|
Do not eat, drink, or
smoke during work. |
Rinse mouth. Do NOT
induce vomiting. Refer for medical attention.
|
| SPILLAGE DISPOSAL | PACKAGING & LABELLING |
| Evacuate danger area!
Consult an expert! Collect leaking and spilled liquid in sealable
containers as far as possible. Absorb remaining liquid in sand or inert
absorbent and remove to safe place. Do NOT wash away into sewer. Do NOT
absorb in saw-dust or other combustible absorbents (extra personal
protection: complete protective clothing including self-contained
breathing apparatus). |
Xn Symbol R: 20/22 S: 2 Note: A UN Hazard Class: 8 UN Subsidiary Risks: 6.1 UN Pack Group: II Unbreakable packaging; put breakable packaging into closed unbreakable container. Do not transport with food and feedstuffs. |
| EMERGENCY RESPONSE | STORAGE |
| Transport Emergency
Card: TEC (R)-80G17 NFPA Code: H3; F0; R1; |
Separated from
combustible and reducing substances, food and feedstuffs. Dry. Well
closed. Keep in a well-ventilated room.
|
| IMPORTANT DATA | |
| PHYSICAL STATE;
APPEARANCE: OILY, COLOURLESS, HYGROSCOPIC LIQUID. CHEMICAL DANGERS: The substance decomposes on heating or on burning producing toxic and corrosive fumes, including antimony and fluorine. Reacts violently with water forming toxic and corrosive hydrogen fluoride (see ICSC # 0283). Attacks glass, copper and lead. OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE LIMITS: TLV: ppm; 0.5 mg/m 3 (as TWA) (ACGIH 1994-1995). |
ROUTES OF EXPOSURE:
The substance can be absorbed into the body by inhalation, through the skin and by ingestion. INHALATION RISK: Evaporation at 20°C is negligible; a harmful concentration of airborne particles can, however, be reached quickly on spraying. EFFECTS OF SHORT-TERM EXPOSURE: The substance is corrosive to the eyes, the skin and the respiratory tract. Inhalation of the vapour may cause lung oedema (see Notes). The substance may cause effects on the blood, heart muscle, kidneys and liver , resulting in cardiac disorders and impaired functions. |
| PHYSICAL PROPERTIES | |
| Boiling point: 141°C
Melting point: 8.3°C Relative density (water = 1): 3.00 Solubility in water: reaction Vapour pressure, kPa at 25°C: 1.33 |
|
| ENVIRONMENTAL DATA | |
| NOTES | |
| Reacts
violently with fire extinguishing agents such as water or hydrous agents.
The symptoms of lung oedema often do not become manifest until a few hours
have passed and they are aggravated by physical effort. Rest and medical
observation are therefore essential. Immediate administration of an
appropriate spray, by a doctor or a person authorized by him/her, should
be considered. Also consult ICSC # 0283 (Hydrogen fluoride).
