4. First Aid Measures
- Ingestion
- If conscious wash out mouth with water. Seek medical advice. Show this SDS to medical practitioner.
- Inhalation
- Remove from contaminated air. Maintain breathing with artificial respiration if necessary. Seek medical assistance. Show this SDS to a doctor.
- Skin Contact
- Remove contaminated clothing. Immediately wash skin thoroughly with water and mild soap. Seek medical advice if irritation persists. Show this SDS to medical practitioner. Launder clothing before reuse.
- Eye Contact
- Immediately hold eyelids open and flood with water for at least 15 minutes. Obtain medical aid. Show this SDS to medical practitioner.
- Other Information
- No further relevant information available.
5. Firefighting Measures
Suitable extinguishing equipment
- Fire
- Water spray. Carbon dioxide, dry chemical powder, or appropriate foam.
- HAZCHEM
- Hydrochloric acid and its solutions will not burn or support combustion. However contact with aluminium, zinc or tin may generate explosive hydrogen gas. Decomposition products include hydrogen chloride.
Special protective equipment and precautions for fire fighters
Fire fighters and others who may be exposed to combustion products during fire should wear full protective clothing including positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA). Wear SCBA with full face-piece, operated in positive pressure mode when fighting fires.
6. Accidental Release Measures
- Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
- Restrict access to area. Ventilate area. Remove chemicals that can react with the spilled material.
- Environmental precautions
- Prevent from entering waterways.
- Methods and materials for containment and clean up
- Use inert material such as sand or earth to contain spill or leak. Neutralise with sodium bicarbonate. Absorb spills with chemical absorber or vermiculite and dispose of in accordance with local regulations.
7. Handling and Storage
- Precautions for safe handling
- Do not get in eyes, on skin, on clothing. Avoid prolonged or repeated exposure.
- Conditions for safe storage
- Store sealed in original container in a cool well ventilated situation away from foods and other chemicals. Do not store in direct sunlight. Observe good hygiene and housekeeping practices.
8. Exposure Controls / Personal Protection
Exposure Standards
| Material | TWA ppm | TWA mg/m³ | STEL ppm | STEL mg/m³ |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hydrogen chloride | - | 7.5mg/m3 | - | - |
- Engineering controls
- Safety showers and eye wash facilities should be provided. If mists are likely to be generated maintain atmospheric concentrations well below exposure standards with extraction ventilation.
Personal protective equipment
