First aid measures General advice Get immediate medical attention. Eye contact Flush immediately with water for 15 minutes. Lift upper and lower eyelids for complete rinsing. Get immediate medical attention. Skin Contact Flush with water for 15 minutes. Get medical attention. Remove contaminated clothing and wash before reuse. Inhalation Remove victim from immediate source of exposure to fresh air. If breathing is difficult, administer oxygen if available. If victim is not breathing, administer CPR. If individual experiences nausea, headache, or dizziness, get immediate medical attention. Ingestion Rinse mouth with water. Give water to dilute. Do not induce vomiting. Get immediate medical attention. Never give anything by mouth to a semi- comatose, comatose, convulsing or unconscious person Self-protection of the fi rst aider Use personal protective equipment as required. Avoid contact with skin, eyes or clothing. Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed Symptoms Corrosive. Causes tissue destruction, permanent damage to the cornea, blindness. Causes irritation (possibly severe), burns to the skin. Mists may cause lung irritation, shortness of breath, fluid in lungs. Ingestion causes nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, corrosion, burns to mouth and esophagus, abdominal pain, chest pain, shortness of breath, seizures, death. Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed Note to physicians Product is a corrosive material. Use of gastric lavage or emesis is contraindicated. Possible perforation of stomach or esophagus should be investigated. Do not give chemical antidotes. Asphyxia from glottal edema may occur. Marked decrease in blood pressure may occur with moist rales, frothy sputum, and high pulse pressure. 5. Fire-fighting measures Suitable extinguishing media Use extinguishing measures that are appropriate to local circumstances and the surrounding environment. Unsuitable extinguishing media Do not scatter spilled material with high pressure water streams. Specific hazards arising from the chemical If the stock solution container breaks, the solution should be handled with care as it is corrosive. May produce poisonous or irritating gas or fumes. This material is reactive with many materials. May intensify a fire. Hazardous combustion products Nitrogen oxides Explosion Data Sensitivity to mechanical impact None Sensitivity to static discharge None Protective equipment and precautions for firefighters As in any fire, wear self-contained breathing apparatus pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent) and full protective gear. Use water spray to cool fire exposed containers. Move containers from fire area if you can do it without risk. 6. Accidental release measures Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures Personal precautions Evacuate nonessential personnel. Ventilate area. Wear appropriate personal protection equipment. Remove sources of ignition. Environmental precautions See Section 12 for additional ecological information. Do not flush into surface water or sanitary sewer system. Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. Prevent product from entering drains. Methods for containment Completely contain spilled material with dikes or sand bags, etc. Stop leak if you can do it without risk. Methods for cleaning up Recover as much material as possible into containers for disposal or reuse. Remaining material may be diluted with water and neutralized. Flush spill area with water. Neutralization products, both solid and liquid, must be recovered for disposal. Microlox Special 70 LF 2 / 6 7.
