Hazard Overview

Health hazards: This product has strong irritation and corrosiveness. Dust irritates the eyes and respiratory tract, corrodes the nasal septum; Direct contact between skin and eyes can cause burns; Accidental ingestion can cause gastrointestinal burns, mucosal erosion, bleeding, and shock

Environmental hazards: May cause pollution to water bodies

Explosive hazard: This product is non flammable, highly corrosive and irritating, and can cause burns to the human body

Emergency measures

Skin contact: Immediately remove contaminated clothing and rinse with plenty of flowing water for at least 15 minutes. Seek medical attention

Eye contact: Immediately lift the eyelids and thoroughly rinse with plenty of flowing water or saline solution for at least 15 minutes. Seek medical attention

Inhalation: Quickly leave the scene and move to a place with fresh air. Keep the respiratory tract unobstructed. If breathing is difficult, administer oxygen. If breathing stops, immediately perform artificial respiration. Seek medical attention

Ingestion: Rinse mouth with water and drink milk or egg whites. Seek medical attention

Fire protection measures

Hazardous characteristics: Neutralizes with acid and releases heat. When exposed to moisture, it is corrosive to aluminum, zinc, and tin, and releases flammable and explosive hydrogen gas. This product will not burn and will release a large amount of heat when in contact with water and water vapor, forming a corrosive solution. Has strong corrosiveness

Harmful combustion products: May produce harmful toxic smoke

Fire extinguishing method: Use water and sand to extinguish the fire, but it is necessary to prevent objects from splashing when encountering water, which may cause burns

Emergency response to leakage

Isolate the contaminated area and restrict access. It is recommended that emergency personnel wear dust masks (full face shields) and acid and alkali resistant work clothes. Do not come into direct contact with the leaked material. Minor leakage: Avoid dust and collect with a clean shovel in a dry, clean, and covered container. You can also rinse with a large amount of water, dilute the washing water, and put it into the wastewater system. Massive leakage: Collect, recycle or transport to waste disposal sites for disposal

Handling and Storage

Precautions for operation: Closed operation. Operators must undergo specialized training and strictly adhere to operating procedures. It is recommended that operators wear a hood type electric air supply filter dust respirator, rubber acid and alkali resistant clothing, and rubber acid and alkali resistant gloves. Keep away from flammable and combustible materials. Avoid generating dust. Avoid contact with acids. Handle with care during transportation to prevent damage to packaging and containers. Equip with emergency response equipment for leaks. Empty containers may contain residual harmful substances. When diluting or preparing a solution, alkali should be added to water to avoid boiling and splashing

Storage precautions: Store in a cool, dry, and well ventilated warehouse. Stay away from sources of fire and heat. The humidity inside the warehouse should ideally not exceed 85%. The packaging must be sealed to prevent moisture. It should be stored separately from flammable materials, acids, etc., and avoid mixing storage. The storage area should be equipped with suitable materials to contain leaked materials
