face shield, gloves, rubber boots, and in enclosed spaces, SCBA.
Fire-fighting
equipment/instructions
In case of fire: Evacuate area. Fight fire remotely due to the risk of explosion. Move containers
from fire area if you can do so without risk. In the event of fire, cool tanks with water spray. For
massive fire in cargo area, use unmanned hose holder or monitor nozzles, if possible. If not,
withdraw and let fire burn out.
Specific methods Cool containers exposed to flames with water until well after the fire is out.

SECTION 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

Personal precautions,
protective equipment and
emergency procedures
Keep unnecessary personnel away. Local authorities should be advised if significant spillages
cannot be contained. Do not touch damaged containers or spilled material unless wearing
appropriate protective clothing. Keep people away from and upwind of spill/leak. Keep upwind.
Keep out of low areas. Ventilate closed spaces before entering them. Wear appropriate personal
protective equipment.
Methods and materials for
containment and cleaning up
ELIMINATE all ignition sources (no smoking, flares, sparks or flames in immediate area). Keep
combustibles (wood, paper, oil, etc.) away from spilled material. This product is miscible in water.
Stop the flow of material, if this is without risk. Following product recovery, flush area with water.
Prevent entry into waterways, sewer, basements or confined areas. For waste disposal, see section
13 of the MSDS.
Environmental precautions Avoid discharge into drains, water courses or onto the ground.

SECTION 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE

7. Handling and storage
Precautions for safe handling Take any precaution to avoid mixing with combustibles. Keep away from heat. Minimize dust
generation and accumulation. Do not taste or swallow. Avoid breathing dust. Avoid contact with
eyes. Use only outdoors or in a well-ventilated area. Avoid prolonged exposure. When using, do
not eat, drink or smoke. Wash hands thoroughly after handling.
Conditions for safe storage,
including any
incompatibilities
Keep away from heat. Store in a well-ventilated place. Keep container tightly closed. Do not store
near combustible materials. Keep out of the reach of children. Store in a cool, dry place out of
direct sunlight.

should be matched to conditions. If applicable, use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or
other engineering controls to maintain airborne levels below recommended exposure limits. If
exposure limits have not been established, maintain airborne levels to an acceptable level. Provide
eyewash station.
Individual protection measures, such as personal protective equipment
Eye/face protection Wear eye/face protection.

toxicological characteristics
Not available.
Information on toxicological effects
Acute toxicity Harmful if inhaled. Harmful if swallowed.
Skin corrosion/irritation Due to lack of data the classification is not possible.
Serious eye damage/eye
irritation
Causes serious eye irritation.
Respiratory sensitization Due to lack of data the classification is not possible.
Skin sensitization Due to lack of data the classification is not possible.
Germ cell mutagenicity Due to lack of data the classification is not possible.
Carcinogenicity This product is not considered to be a carcinogen by IARC, ACGIH, NTP, or OSHA.
Reproductive toxicity Due to lack of data the classification is not possible.
Specific target organ toxicity
- single exposure
Respiratory tract irritation.
Specific target organ toxicity
- repeated exposure
Due to lack of data the classification is not possible. The perchlorate ion competes with iodide in
the mechanism that governs uptake into the thyroid gland for growth hormone production. This
effect is routinely countered by ensuring sufficient dietary intake of iodine, as perchlorate does not
accumulate in the body. Studies on workers in plants where perchlorates are manufactured have
shown no thyroid abnormalities; various clinical studies are ongoing. Perchlorates occur naturally
in trace amounts in the environment, and are not classified as carcinogenic.
Aspiration hazard Due to lack of data the classification is not possible.
Chronic effects Prolonged inhalation may be harmful.
