HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION Classification OSHA Regulatory Status This chemical is considered hazardous by the 2012 OSHA Hazard Communication Standard (29 CFR 1910.1200) Acute toxicity - Inhalation (Gases) Category 4 Acute toxicity - Inhalation (Dusts/Mists) Category 4 Skin corrosion/irritation Category 1 Sub-category A Serious eye damage/eye irritation Category 1 Specific target organ toxicity (single exposure) Category 3 Label elements Emergency Overview Warning Hazard statements Corrosive to metals. Causes severe skin burns and eye damage May cause respiratory irritation _____________________________________________________________________________________________ Page 1 / 8 0650 - Bismuth Trichloride Solution Revision Date 11-Nov-2015 _____________________________________________________________________________________________ Appearance Clear, colorless to yellow Physical state liquid Odor Faint hydrochloric acid odor. liquid Precautionary Statements - Prevention Wash skin thoroughly after handling Wear eye protection/ face protection Wear protective gloves Precautionary Statements - Response Immediately call a POISON CENTER or doctor IF ON SKIN: Wash with plenty of soap and water IF IN EYES: Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes. Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing. If skin irritation occurs. Get medical advice/attention. If eye irritation persists: Get medical advice/attention Take off contaminated clothing and wash before reuse. Corrosive. Vapors are irritating and may cause damage to the eyes. Contact may cause severe burns and permanent eye damage. Corrosive! Symptoms of redness, pain, and severe burns upon contact with skin. Inhalation can cause severe irritation of mucous membranes and upper respiratory tract. Symptoms may include burning sensation, coughing, wheezing, laryngitis, shortness of breath, headache, nausea and vomiting. High concentrations may cause lung damage. Hydrochloric acid vapors are highly corrosive and can cause pulmonary edema, circulatory failure and death. Corrosive! Bismuth compounds can cause irritation to the gastrointestinal tract. Symptoms may include nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. Low toxicity. Bismuth salts are poorly absorbed. Should absorption occur, symptoms may include loss of appetite, headache, skin rashes, kidney damage, and rarely mild jaundice. Swallowing hydrochloric acid may cause death. Extreme heat may release flammable hydrogen gas Pick up and arrange disposal without creating dust. Sweep up and shovel. Keep in suitable, closed containers for disposal. Precautionary Statements - Storage Store locked up Store in a well-ventilated place. Keep container tightly closed Precautionary Statements - Disposal Dispose of contents/container to an approved waste disposal plant Hazards not otherwise classified (HNOC) Not applicable Other Information May be harmful if swallowed 3.

HANDLING AND STORAGE Precautions for safe handling _____________________________________________________________________________________________ Page 3 / 8 0650 - Bismuth Trichloride Solution Revision Date 11-Nov-2015 _____________________________________________________________________________________________ Advice on safe handling Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Avoid formation of dust and aerosols. Further processing solid materials may result in the formation of combustible dusts. The potential for combustible dust formation should be taken into consideration before additional processing occurs. Provide appropriate exhaust ventilation at places where dust is formed. For precautions see section 2.2. Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities Storage Conditions Keep container tightly closed in a dry and well-ventilated place. Storage class (TRGS 510): Non Combustible Solids. Incompatible materials Bases. Oxidizing agents. 8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION Control parameters Exposure Guidelines .
