OSHA Regulatory Status: This product is classified as hazardous under OSHA regulations.
WHMIS Class: Class E
Clear, colorless liquid. No odor. May cause eye and skin burns. May be harmful if swallowed.
Primary Routes of Exposure: Eye contact, skin contact, skin absorption, inhalation, ingestion.
Eyes: May cause eye burns. Symptoms may include pain, tearing, redness, swelling, and eye injury.
Skin: May cause skin burns. Symptoms may include pain, redness, swelling, scarring, and skin damage.
Ingestion: May be harmful if swallowed. May cause mouth, throat and stomach burns. Symptoms may include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and severe stomach pain.
Inhalation: High concentrations of vapor or mist may cause nose, throat and respiratory tract irritation. Symptoms may include coughing, wheezing and shortness of breath.
Effects of Chronic Exposure: Repeated exposure to low concentrations of acid solutions can cause skin redness, swelling and pain.
Medical Conditions Aggravated: May aggravate pre-existing eye, skin and respiratory conditions.
Eyes: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water while holding eyelids apart. After initial flushing, remove any contact lenses and continue flushing for at least 15 minutes. Do not put any medication in the victim's eye unless instructed by a physician. Get immediate medical attention.
Skin: Immediately flush with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, then wash with soap and water. Immediately remove contaminated clothing. Get immediate attention if irritation develops or persists. Thoroughly wash (or discard) clothing before reuse. Destroy contaminated shoes.
Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting. Drink large quantities of water. Get immediate medical attention. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
Inhalation: Remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give respiration; if breathing is difficult, give oxygen (by trained personnel only). Get medical attention if symptoms persist.
Flash Point and Method: >200 °F (93 °C) TCC
Flammable Limits: Not applicable.
Extinguishing Media: Use extinguishing media appropriate for surrounding fire.
Hazardous Combustion Products: Hydrochloric acid can react with common metals to form potentially explosive hydrogen gas.
Fire Fighting Instructions: This product is not flammable. As in any fire, MSHA/NIOSH approved self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) and full protective gear should be worn.
See Section 8 (Exposure Controls / Personal Protection) and Section 3 (Hazard Identification). Floors may be slippery — use care to avoid falling. Contain and isolate spill. Keep non-essential personnel from entering spill area. Use mop and absorbent to collect material for proper disposal. Use non-metallic implements for cleaning and collection. Rinse area with water.
Handling: Follow label use directions. Do not mix with other chemicals unless instructed by label directions. Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing. Avoid breathing vapor or mist. Wash thoroughly after handling. Immediately remove contaminated clothing. Wash clothing and equipment before reuse. Destroy contaminated shoes. Empty containers retain residue and may be hazardous (see Section 14, Transport Information).
Storage: Keep container closed when not in use. Store away from incompatible materials (see Section 10, Stability and Reactivity).
Engineering Controls: Good general room ventilation is expected to be adequate. If user operations generate mist, ventilation should be used to keep airborne concentrations below exposure limits (see Section 2).
Eye Protection: Where eye contact is possible, wear chemical splash goggles (ANSI Z87.1-approved).
Skin Protection: Where skin contact is possible, chemical-resistant gloves should be worn. When additional skin contact is possible, other protective equipment and clothing (e.g., footwear) may be needed. All contaminated clothing should be removed immediately and cleaned (or discarded) before reuse.
Respiratory Protection: No respiratory protection is required if general room ventilation is adequate and airborne concentrations are kept below exposure limits. When exposure limits are exceeded, use appropriate respiratory protection (NIOSH/MSHA) to prevent overexposure. For hydrochloric acid, use an approved respirator equipped with an acid gas cartridge.
