S'^OC SAL 000009396 Merox FB Page 2 of 4 CAO 39 REACTIVITY DATA Stability: Conditions to Avoid: Stable to 300C Temperatures above 300C Hazardous Decomposition Products: Hazardous Polymerization: HCN, SO , NO , CO Will no occur Incompatible Haterials: Active chlorine; strong oxidizers SPILL OR LEAK PROCEDURE Tjarpre Spills:Immediately isolate the affected area and keep out all unauthorized personnel. Confine entry to those persons who are properly protected. Stop leak at the source. If possible, reposition, plug, or encapsulate the container to stop further leakage. Cut off and redirect surface runoff by trenching or diking. Spills should be contained through the use of a commercial aqueous absorbent, but other materials such as earth, sand, or sawdust may be more expedient to limit the extent of contamination. Clean contaminated surface with a generous amount of aqueous absorbent, soaking up as much liquid as possible. Contaminated material should be disposed in accordance with waste disposal regulations. Refer to WASTE DISPOSAL section. Small Spills: Wear proper protective equipment. Absorb spilled material using a commercial aqueous absorbent soaking up as much material as possible. Contaminated material should be disposed in accordance with waste disposal regulations. See WASTE DISPOSAL section. WASTE DISPOSAL Merox FB waste, including concentrated solutions, contaminated absorbent, and materials from spill clean-up procedures, must be handled in accordance with federal, state and local regulations. Although Merox FB and its components are not listed either by generic name or by trademark name in the U.S. EPA's Hazardous Waste Regulations, UOP recommends that Merox FB reagent be disposed as hazardous waste, because the reagent has been shown to have a mutagenic potential. Recommended disposal practices Include incineration or waste treatment at permitted facilities. HEALTH HAZARD DATA Primary Routes Of Exposure: Contact with skin or eyes. Product ingestion is unlikely but may occur if proper safety/hygiene procedures are not followed. Exposure may also occur via inhalation or ingestion if the product SAL OOOOO9397 CA0S9 Merox FB Page 3 of 4 is heated or If the product Is misted or sprayed during handling and/or processing. In order to minimize exposure to product, proper equipment should be used and proper safety/hygiene procedures should be followed. Acute Oral LD^: 3.6 g/kg (rat) Acute Inhalation LC^: The Acute Inhalation LC^q is undetermined. Testing was conducted on the powdered active ingredient. The highest dosage level achieved (due to the physical nature of the powder) was 1.05 mg/1; at this dosage level, two test animals (rats) out of ten died. Acute Dermal LD^qI Primary Eye Irritation: >2 g/kg (rabbit) Draize eye score: Nonrinsed -- 98 max/110 possible extending through 13 days; rinsed -- 9 max/110 possible (rabbit). Primary Dermal Irritation: Index - 0.4 (rabbit) Genetic Toxicology: Weakly mutagenic in the L5178YTK+/-mouse lymphoma cell in vitro assay. unraary: Slight acute toxicity. Slight to moderate irritant to skin and pulmonary system. Primary eye irritant. Mutagenic In the test system used. FIRST AID Skin: Wash contaminated skin with soap and water. Merox reagent intensely stains skin and is very difficult to remove. A soft hand brush may aid in the removal of Merox reagent from skin. A mechanics waterless skin cleaner may also be used to decontaminate skin. Residual color will eventually wear off. DO NOT use bleach to decolorize skin. Eyes: Flush with large amounts of water for a minimum of 15 minutes. Obtain prompt medical attention. Inhalation: Remove from contaminated area. Obtain professional medical attention. Ingestion: INDUCE VOMITING. Obtain immediate medical attention. Note To Physician: Eyes: Rinse eye for 15 minutes. severe cases. Stain to check for corneal damage in K.in: Treat minor cases as contact dermatitis. SAC 00009398 ik CD C A039 Kerox FB Page 4 of 4 Ingestion: If the patient is conscious. Induction of vomiting or gastric lavage to empty the stomach contents is advised. Administer 2-4 tablespoons of U.S.P. activated charcoal mixed with 6 ounces of water, followed by a hypertonic laxative. PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT Skin: Impervious protective clothing such as pants, jacket, apron, rubber gloves, rubber footwear. Eye: Splash-proof goggles or face shield as necessary to prevent eye contact. Other: Do not eat, drink or smoke in areas where the product is handled. It is recommended that if physical contact with product occurs: 1) personal protective clothing should then be decontaminated by washing with detergent and chlorinated bleach; 2) other personal protective clothing should also be cleaned, according to manufacturer's instructions; 3) persons should shower before putting on clean work or street clothing. SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS Do not reuse empty containers. Rinse the container with water, adding the rinsings to the Merox unit to recover all active ingredients.
