SECTION VII SPILL OR LEAK PROCEDURES
STEPS TO BE TAKEN IN CASE MATERIAL IS RELEASED OR SPILLED
Spilled material may be shoveled up, followed by flushing with water.
Dilute
acid may be used to neutralize final traces immediately after flushing.
WASTE OtSPOSAL METHOD
Waste caustic soda solution should not be discharged into sewers or streams.
Caustic should first be neutralized with dilute acid and then well diluted with
water. Otherwise, contact local waste disposal contractor.

ADDENDUM TO MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET ON PELSR - CAUSTIC SODA BEADS
(SEPTEMBER, 1978)
SECTION V - EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE
EYE CONTACT - Causes severe burns; small quantities can result in permanent damage or loss of vision.
SKIN CONTACT - Corrosive action causes burns and frequently deep ulceration with ultimate scarring. Prolonged contact destroys tissue. Dust or mist from solutions can cause irritant dermatitis.
SWALLOWING - Ingestion either in solid or liquid form can cause very serious damage to the mucous membranes or other tissues with which contact is made, and may be fatal.
INHALATION - Inhalation of dusts or mists can cause damage to the upper respiratory tract and to the lung tissue depending on severity of exposure. Effects can range from mild irritation of mucous membranes to severe pneumonitis.
Emergency and First Aid Procedures
EYE/SKIN CONTACT Immediately flush eyes and skin with plenty of water for at
least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Call a physician. Thoroughly clean contaminated clothing and shoes before reuse, or discard. SWALLOWING
Drink a quart of water. DO NOT induce vomiting. Take immediately to a hospital or physician. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
SECTION IX - SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS
Handling and Storing
a Keep containers closed when not in use.
a Drums and bags should be stored in a dry place indoors.
a Wear safety equipment (Section VIII) when handling PelsR.
a When making solutions, add PelsR slowly to surface of cold water while stirring, to avoid violent spattering.
2- - PELSR - CAUSTIC SODA BEADS
Other Precautions Avoid contact with eyes, skin or clothing. Avoid breathing dusts or mists. Use with adequate ventilation. Do not take internally. t Wash thoroughly after handling. REFERENCES 1.
