Treat patient symptomatically. treatment needed General information If you feel unwell, seek medical advice (show the label where possible). Ensure that medical personnel are aware of the material(s) involved, and take precautions to protect themselves. Show this safety data sheet to the doctor in attendance. Avoid contact with eyes and skin. Keep out of reach of children. 5. Fire Fighting Measures Suitable extinguishing media Water fog. Foam. Dry chemical powder. Carbon dioxide (CO2). Unsuitable extinguishing Do not use water jet as an extinguisher, as this will spread the fire. media Specific hazards arising from During fire, gases hazardous to health may be formed. the chemical Special protective equipment Self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing must be worn in case of fire. and precautions for firefighters Fire-fighting Move containers from fire area if you can do so without risk. equipment/instructions Specific methods Use standard firefighting procedures and consider the hazards of other involved materials. General fire hazards No unusual fire or explosion hazards noted. Hazardous combustion May include and are not limited to: Hydrogen bromide. Bromine. products 6. Accidental Release Measures Personal precautions, Keep unnecessary personnel away. Keep people away from and upwind of spill/leak. Wear protective equipment and appropriate protective equipment and clothing during clean-up. Do not touch damaged containers emergency procedures or spilled material unless wearing appropriate protective clothing. Ensure adequate ventilation. Local authorities should be advised if significant spillages cannot be contained. For personal protection, see section 8 of the SDS. Methods and materials for Before attempting clean up, refer to hazard data given above. Use broom or dry vacuum to collect containment and cleaning up material for proper disposal without raising dust. Rinse area with water. Prevent large spills from entering sewers or waterways. Contact emergency services and supplier for advice. Environmental precautions Do not discharge into lakes, streams, ponds or public waters. 7. Handling and Storage Precautions for safe handling Do not get this material in contact with eyes. Avoid breathing dust. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Provide adequate ventilation. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment. Wash thoroughly after handling. Use good industrial hygiene practices in handling this material. When using do not eat or drink. Conditions for safe storage, Store locked up. Store in original tightly closed container. Store away from incompatible materials including any incompatibilities (see Section 10 of the SDS). Keep out of reach of children. 8. Exposure Controls/Personal Protection Occupational exposure limits No exposure limits noted for ingredient(s). Biological limit values No biological exposure limits noted for the ingredient(s). Appropriate engineering Good general ventilation (typically 10 air changes per hour) should be used. Ventilation rates controls should be matched to conditions. If applicable, use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to maintain airborne levels below recommended exposure limits. If exposure limits have not been established, maintain airborne levels to an acceptable level. #27130 Page: 2 of 6 Issue date 05-April-2016 Individual protection measures, such as personal protective equipment Eye/face protection Wear safety glasses with side shields (or goggles) and a face shield. Skin protection Hand protection Impervious gloves. Confirm with reputable supplier first. Other Wear appropriate chemical resistant clothing. As required by employer code. Respiratory protection Avoid inhalation of dust. Where exposure guideline levels may be exceeded, use an approved NIOSH respirator. Respirator should be selected by and used under the direction of a trained health and safety professional following requirements found in OSHA's respirator standard (29 CFR 1910.134), CAN/CSA-Z94.4 and ANSI's standard for respiratory protection (Z88.2). Thermal hazards Not applicable. General hygiene Always observe good personal hygiene measures, such as washing after handling the material considerations and before eating, drinking, and/or smoking. Routinely wash work clothing and protective equipment to remove contaminants. When using do not eat or drink. 9. Physical and Chemical Properties Appearance Crystalline. Powder. Physical state Solid.
