Hazard identification:

Emergency Overview: Danger! Extremely corrosive! Cause severe burn and eye damage. Harmful if inhaled, fatal if swallowed. Highly reactive with alkaline materials. Not flammable, but reacts with most metal to form explosive/flammable hydrogen gas.

First Aid Measures: General: corrosive effects on the skin and eyes may be delayed, and damage may occur without the sensation or onset of pain.
Inhalation: move victims to fresh air. Give artificial respiration only if breathing has stopped.

Skins Contact: Immediately flush skin with running water for a minimum of 20 minutes.

Eye Contact: Immediately flush eyes with running water for a minimum of 20 minutes. Hold eyelids open during flushing.

Ingestion: DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. If victim is alert and not convulsing, rinse mouth and give 240 to 300 ml (8 to 10 oz) of water to dilute material.

Fire and Explosion Hazards: Reacts with many metals to liberate hydrogen gas, which can form explosive mixtures with air.

Extinguishing Media: For large fires use all purpose type AFFF form according to foam manufactures recommended techniques.

Fire Fighting Procedures: As appropriate for surrounding materials/equipment. Water spray should be used to cool containers.

Evacuation: If tank, rail car tank truck is involved in a fire, ISOLATE for 800 meters (1/2mile) is all directions.
