Skin? Ingestion? Health Hazards (Acute & Chronic): Chronic – Acute - Skin Contact: Eye Contact: Ingestion: Carcinogenicity: NTP? IARC Monographs? OSHA Regulated? Signs & Systems of Exposure: Inhalation: Irritation of upper respiratory tract Dermal: Irritation Eyes: Irritation Ingestion: Internal irritation Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure – Emergency & First Aid Procedures: Inhalation: Remove from contaminated atmosphere. Apply artificial respiration if necessary. Call a physician. Skin Contact: Flush with cool water, then baking soda solution. If irritation persists, get medical attention. Eye Contact: Immediately flush with large quantities of water. Call a physician. Ingestion: Give large quantities of water or milk. Do not induce vomiting. Do not drink carbonated water. Call a physician. Section 7 - Precautions for Safe Handling & Use Steps to be taken in case material is released or spilled: Small spill: Neutralize with sodium bicarbonate or soda ash and flush with large amounts of water. Large spill: Pump to a soda ash and slack lime solution, then dispose of with large amounts of water. Waste Disposal Method: Precautions to be taken in handling and storing: Store in high-density polyethylene, rubber lined, fiberglass, or 316 stainless steel containers. Do not store in extreme heat or cold areas. Avoid contact with organic matter. DRAIN FLOW is a strong chemical digester of dead organics. Other Precautions: Section 8 - Control Measures Respiratory Protection (Specify Type): Respiratory protection is required if airborne concentrations exceed TLV. Above this level use NIOSH approved equipment with full-face piece. Follow respirator manufacturer’s recommendations. Ventilation: Local Exhaust? Use to meet TVL requirements and to minimize exposure. Mechanical (General)? Same as Local Exhaust. Special? Other? Eye Protection: Safety goggles recommended.
