2. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
HMIS:
Physical state: Liquid HEALTH: *3
Color: Green FLAMMABILITY: 0
Odor: Acidic PHYSICAL HAZARD: 0
Personal Protection: See MSDS Section 8
DANGER -- CORROSIVE!: CAUSES EYE, SKIN, DIGESTIVE TRACT, AND RESPIRATORY TRACT
BURNS.
CONTAINS MATERIAL WHICH MAY CAUSE CANCER.
MAY CAUSE ALLERGIC SKIN REACTION.

Relevant routes of exposure: Skin, Inhalation, Eyes

Potential Health Effects

Inhalation: Mists, vapors or liquid may cause severe irritation or burns.

Skin contact: Corrosive to the skin. Contact with the skin or mucous membranes may cause severe irritation
and burns. Hydrofluoric acid will penetrate the skin and attack underlying tissue and bone.
Large burns (over 25 square inches) may also cause hypocalcemia and other systemic effects
which may be fatal. Product contains chromium, which may cause an allergic skin sensitization
reaction. Massive overexposures may lead to kidney damage. Contact with broken skin may
lead to formation of firmly marginated "chrome sores".
Eye contact: This product is severely irritating to the eyes and may cause irreversible damage including
burns and blindness.
Ingestion: This product may produce corrosive damage to the gastrointestinal tract if it is swallowed.

Existing conditions aggravated by Eye, skin and respiratory disorders.

exposure:

This material is considered hazardous by the OSHA Hazard Communication Standard (29 CFR
1910.1200).

See Section 11 for additional toxicological information.

 4. FIRST AID MEASURES
Inhalation: If mist or vapor of this product is inhaled, remove person immediately to fresh
air. Seek medical attention if symptoms develop or persist.

Skin contact: Rinse with large amounts of running water. GET MEDICAL ATTENTION
IMMEDIATELY! If iced 0.13% benzalkonium chloride (Zephiran) solution or
2.5% calcium gluconate gel are available, the rinsing may be limited to 5
minutes, with the soaks or gel applied as soon as the rinsing is stopped. If
benzalkonium chloride or calcium gluconate gel is not available, rinsing must
continue until medical treatment is provided.

Eye contact: In case of contact with the eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of water for 15
minutes, and seek immediate medical attention.

Ingestion: Seek medical advice. Do not induce vomiting. Give one to two glasses of
water or milk. Never give anything by mouth to a victim who is unconscious or
is having convulsions.

Notes to physician: Treatment of hypocalcemia associated with corrosive fluoride compounds

exposure may be corrected by intravenous calcium gluconate or calcium
chloride. Treatment of hypomagnesemia may be corrected by intravenous
magnesium sulfate.

5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES

Flash point: > 93.3 °C (> 199.94 °F) calculated

Autoignition temperature: Not determined

Flammable/Explosive limits - lower: Not applicable

Flammable/Explosive limits - upper: Not applicable

Extinguishing media: Use media appropriate for surrounding material.

Special firefighting procedures: Wear full protective clothing. Wear self-contained breathing apparatus.

Unusual fire or explosion hazards: If evaporated to dryness, solid residue is an oxidizing agent and may cause
spontaneous ignition of combustible materials.

Hazardous combustion products: Flammable and explosive hydrogen gas may be formed when hydrofluoric
acid reacts with certain metals. Hydrogen fluoride gas may evolve when
chemical is subjected to prolonged high temperature.

6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

Use personal protection recommended in Section 8, isolate the hazard area and deny entry to unnecessary and unprotected
personnel.

Environmental precautions: Wear appropriate protective equipment and clothing during clean-up. Prevent
further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. Do not let product enter drains.

Clean-up methods: Absorb spill with inert material. Shovel material into appropriate container for
disposal. Dispose of according to Federal, State and local governmental
regulations.

7. HANDLING AND STORAGE

Handling: Prevent contact with eyes, skin and clothing. Do not breathe vapor and mist.
Wash thoroughly after handling. Do not take internally. For industrial use only.
IN CASE OF CONTACT OR SUSPICION OF CONTACT, PROMPT MEDICAL
ATTENTION IS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY.

IDH number: 687511 Product name: PASSERITE 225 W

 Storage: Keep container tightly closed and in a cool, well-ventilated place away from
incompatible materials. Supplier recommends that this product be stored with
a vented bung.

For information on product shelf life, please review labels on container or check the Technical Data Sheet.

8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION

Employers should complete an assessment of all workplaces to determine the need for, and selection of, proper exposure
controls and protective equipment for each task performed.

Engineering controls: Provide local and general exhaust ventilation to effectively remove and
prevent buildup of any vapors or mists generated from the handling of this
product.

Respiratory protection: If ventilation is not sufficient to effectively prevent buildup of aerosols, mists or
vapors, appropriate NIOSH/MSHA respiratory protection must be provided.

Eye/face protection: Wear chemical goggles; face shield (if splashing is possible).

Skin protection: Chemical resistant, impermeable gloves. Gloves should be tested to

determine suitability for prolonged contact. Use of impervious apron and boots
are recommended.
