Hazards not otherwise classified:
Chronic/Carcinogenicity Effects:
Long term exposure to silver and silver salts can lead to the condition known as argyria-a general gray pigmentation of the skin and mucous membranes.
Conditions Aggravated By Exposure:
May cause argyria (a slate-gray or bluish discoloration of the skin and deep tissues due to the deposit of insoluble albuminate of silver). May be irritating to skin, eyes and respiratory tract.
Conditions Aggravated By Overexposure:
Symptoms include skin rash, running nose, headache, and irritation of mucous membranes. Silver may discolor the skin. To the best of our knowledge, the chemical, the physical, and toxicological properties of this compound have not been thoroughly investigated.


SECTION 3. COMPOSITION/INFORMATION ON INGREDIENTS

Hazardous substance (name): Silver Permanganate
Chemical Name: Silver Permanganate
Chemical Formula: AgMnO4
Chemical Family: Metal Maganese Compound
Hazard Category: Irritant
CAS#: 7783-98-4


SECTION 4. FIRST AID MEASURES

General Info:
Consult a Physician. Show this safety data sheet to the doctor in attendance.
Notable Exposure symptoms: Irritation to skin, eyes and areas of contact. If discomfort occurs or persists, contact a physician
If ingested: Not expected to be a problem in industry. However if swallowed and discomfort occurs, contact a physician.
If inhaled: Remove the victim from the contaminated area while protecting yourself from exposure by wearing an appropriate respirator. Put a similar respirator on the victim if possible. Get medical attention immediately.
Eye contact: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Remove contact lenses if present and easy to do.
Skin contact: Flush area for 15 minutes with water and wash with soap and water. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes and wash before reuse.


SECTION 5. FIREFIGHTING MEASURES

General Info: Use NIOSH/MSHA approved self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing. Do not direct a solid stream of water or foam into burning molten material; this may cause
spattering and spread the fire.
Extinguishing Method / Equipment: Use carbon dioxide, dry chemical powder, or appropriate foam.
Hazardous Decomposition Info: Can decompose to emit toxic fumes under fire conditions. May accelerate combustion. Contact with other material may cause fire.


SECTION 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

Personal precautions, protective equipment and procedures:
Keep unnecessary personnel away. Keep people away from and upwind of spill/leak. Eliminate all
ignition sources (no smoking, flares, sparks, or flames in immediate area). Wear appropriate respiratory protective equipment and clothing during clean-up. Avoid breathing dust. Ventilate area if easy to do so, Contact local authorities if significant spillages cannot be contained. For personal
protection, see section 8 of the SDS.
Containment Equipment and Procedures:
Large Spills: Contain actively spilling material if safe and easy to do so. Do not let product enter
drains. Sweep up and placed in a proper vessel for recovery or disposal. Avoid raising dust. Ventilate and wash spill site after cleanup is complete. Spills can be mixed with Sodium Carbonate or ground limestone and swept up..
Small Spills: Sweep or soak up and place in sealed container. Taking care to avoid dusting. Spills
can be mixed with Sodium Carbonate or ground limestone and swept up.
Cleanup Procedures:
Contain spillage and then collect with an electrically protected vacuum cleaner or by wet brushing
and place in container for disposal according to local regulations.


SECTION 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE

Safe Handling Precautions:
Do not handle until all safety precautions have been read and understood. Keep containers tightly
closed Ensure adequate ventilation. Avoid creating and breathing dust/vapor. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Avoid prolonged exposure. Wear appropriate personal protective
equipment and wash thoroughly after handling. Keep away from ignition sources.
Recommendations for Storage:
Store in cool, dry area in a tightly closed product container away from sources of ignition or flame
or combustible material. Containers which are opened must be carefully resealed and kept upright
to prevent leakage.
Incompatibilities:
Oxidizers, fulminates, ammonia and active metal


SECTION 8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION

General / Engineering Controls:
Ventilation: Local Exhaust: Required in handling area
Mechanical: Desirable to insure concentration of material below TLV/TWA levels
Other: Closed Ventilation system - Dust (Laboratory Fume Hood)
Work Clothing:
Protective work clothing which covers skin and prevents exposures.
Eye/face protection:
Wear safety glasses with side shields or goggles or face shield.
Skin Protection:
Wear chemical resistant gloves.
Respiratory Protection:
NIOSH approved chemical cartridge respirator for particulates and dust or self-contained breathing
apparatus with full face shield.
Additional Information:
Observe good chemical hygiene practices. Do not smoke or eat while using this product. Wash
hands or exposed skin after using the product.
