BORIC ACID
PAGE 2
VI. Health Hazards
The commonly recognized hazard associated with boric acid is low but acute poisoning cases have been recognized. The chief toxic effects are due to the absorption of boron, which is a cumulative poison acting on the central nervous system. Acute exposures from ingestion or absorption through damaged skin may result in depression and shock, followed by respiratory fa: lure. Boron is not absorbed through intact skin. However, because of the cumulative nature of boron poisoning, care should be exercised in handling to prevent re peated contact.
1. Ingestion
Ingestion may cause acute or chronic effects. Initial symptoms are nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. These may be followed by weakness, depression, and headaches. Skin rashes, described as "boiled lobster appearance", drying skin, cracked lips, and loss of hair may occur after ingestion. Shock, characterized by low blood pressure, weak pulse, cold clammy skin, and bluishgrey skin color may arise from ingestion of large doses. The shock symptoms may cause a difficulty in breathing.
2. Eve Effects
Eye contact with the dry material or aqueous solutions may cause eye irritation. No chronic effects have been recognized but continued contact should be avoided.
3. Dermal Effects
Local irritation may result from contact with the dry material or concentrated solutions. A chronic dermatitis may result from prolonged contact with concentrated solutions.
Prolonged contact with damaged skin may result in absorption of significant quantities of boron to produce boron poisoning. The symptoms from over-absorption are similar to those described from poisoning by ingestion.
4. Inhalation
No adverse effects due to the inhalation of boric acid have been reported.
5. Threshold Limit Value
No Threshold Limit Value has been established by the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists.

VII. First Aid
Whenever first aid is required, it should be qiven immediate]y. Prompt treatment may greatly decrease the severity of the effect. Artificial respiration may be necessary in acute poisoning, if breathing has ceased, mouth-to-mouth artificial respiration should be performed. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Medical attention should be obtained <s soon as possible after injury, even if the injury appears slight. Ii.a physician should be given a detailed account of the incident.
1. Ingestion Obtain medical attention as soon as possible.
i
If the patient is conscious, induce vomiting by giving warm salty water (2 tablespoons of table salt to a pint of water) or warm soapy water. If this measure is unsuccessful, vomiting may be induced by tickling the back of the patient's throat with a finger. Vomiting should be encouraged about three times or until the vomitus is clear. Additional water may be given to wash out the stomach.
If the patient is unconscious do not give anything, but ensure ther is no obstruction to breathing (his tongue should be kept forward and false teeth removed). He will be less likely to breathe in vomitus if he is placed in a face-down position.
2. Eve Contact
Immediately flush the eyes with large quantities of running water for a minimum of 15 minutes. Hold the eyelids apart during the irrigation to ensure flushing of the entire surface of the eye and lids with water. Obtain medical attention as soon as possible Oils or ointments should not be used unless directed by a physi cian. Continue the irrigation for an additional 15 minutes if the physician is not available.
3. Skin Contact
Immediately flush affected areas with water. Remove contaminated clothing under the shower. Continue washing with water -- do not attempt to neutralize with chemical agents. Obtain medical atten tion unless burn is minor.
4. Inhalation
Remove from contaminated atmosphere.
If breathing has ceased, start mouth-to-mouth artificial respi ration. Oxygen, if available, should only be administered by an experienced person when authorized by a physician. Keep patient warm and comfortable.
Call a physician immediately.

VIII. Precautions for Normal Use
A minor spill is defined as a small quantity which can be handled routinely considering the physical and hazardous properties of the product as well as the location of the spill.
Dry spills can be swept up for disposal. Avoid breathing dust.
Spills which are not considered to be minor, which are considered to be an emergency, must be handled according to a predetermined plan. For assistance in developing such a plan, contact Stauffer's Technical Service Department.
IX. Recommended Safety Equipment
Respirators if dusts are present. Rubber gloves, aprons, boots, and face and head protection if working with solutions and splashing is possible.
X. Corrosivity to Materials of Construction
Iron contamination will result if exposed to boric acid with moisture present. Use either stainless steels or coatings on mild steels. Dry Doric acid can be handled in almost any material.
XI. Storage Requirements
Bins should have a 60 sloping cone bottom with provision to prevent Ingress of water. Bags should be stored in a dry location.
XII. Disposal of Unused Material
For assistance in disposing of unused material contact Stauffer's Technical Service Department.
XIII. Disposal of Container
Bags can be collected and burned.

Product Safety Information
BORAX, PENTAHYDRATE (Sodium Tetraborate Pentahydrate)
I. Physical and Chemical Properties
Formula: Na2B^07 * SH2O
Melting Point (F): 1368
Molecular Weight: 291.35
Color: white
Physical State: Solid (70F-14.7 psig)
Specific Gravity: 2.26 <? 20/4C (vaterL 1.0)
Odor: none
Solubility: 3.79 gr per 100 grams H2O at 20C
pH (11 Solution): 9.3
II. Chemical Reactivity
Borax pentahydrate is soluble in water. Its solubility varies with temperature. It is also soluble in glycerol, ethylene glycol, and ethyl alcohol. It is a slightly alkaline product in solution.
III. Stability
The hydrated grades lose molecularly bound water (water of crystalli sation) at elevated temperatures. This water is reabsorbed upon return to ambient temperatures if enough humidity is present. The pentahydrate form is the stable species at ordinary temperatures and pressure.
IV. Fire Hazard
Hone.
V. Firefighting Techniques
Material will not burn. Hydrates will lose water. Borax will melt but is stable at very high temperatures. No special techniques required.
We behave all information given is accurate It is offered in good faith, but without guarantee Since conditions of use are beyond our control, alt runs of use a>e turned by the uter Nothing herein shall be construed at a recommendation for uses which infringe valid patents or es attending a license under valid patents
