- SKIN CONTACT : Immediately wash with soap and water.
- INHALATION : Remove patient to fresh air, use artificial respiration and get medical attention.
- INGESTION : If patient is conscious and alert, give two or more glasses of water to drink. Do not induce vomiting, if vomiting occurs, give fluid again. Get medical attention.
Section 5. Fire-Fighting Measures
DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS UNDER FIRE CONDITIONS: None, This product is non-flammable
Section 6. Accidental Release Measures
May cause temporary mark on concrete floors etc. Any spillage on concrete should be neutralized immediately with large amount of water to avoid etching and discoloring. May damage cotton & synthetic clothing.
Methods of cleaning: For small spill, wash with large amount of water to the drain. Also see section 13 for large disposals.
LAND SPILL: Steps to be taken if material is released or spilled :Small spills can be handled routinely. It is recommended, the floor of the working area be covered by plastic sheets. The personnel involved in spill cleanup, should follow good industrial hygiene practices. If mist or vapor are generated, use adequate ventilation and wear respirator to prevent inhalation. Wear suitable protective clothing and eye protection to prevent contact with skin and eye.
Use the following procedure for cleanup : Neutralize the spill area with soda ash, Sodium Bi-carbonate or lime. Then flush the area with a large amount of water. Exercise caution during neutralization, as heat may be generated.
WATER SPILL : Consult an expert on disposal of recovered material and ensure conformity to local disposal regulations.
CERCLA : If this product is accidentally spilled, it is not subjected to any special reporting under the requirement of the Comprehensive Response Compensation and Liability - at CERCLA
Section 7. Handling and Storage
- Container should be stored in a cool, dry and well-ventilated area, away from incompatible materials (see Section 10). Exercise caution to prevent damage to or leakage from the container. If the product freezes, put in warm place.
- ELECTROSTATIC ACCUMULATION HAZARD : None
- STORAGE TEMPERATURE : Ambient
- LOADING/UNLOADING TEMP. : Ambient
Section 8. Exposure Controls/Personal Protection
PERSONAL PROTECTION : When handling this product, wear chemical goggles, protective clothing, chemical resistant gloves and footwear. Always wash thoroughly with soap and water after handling this product.
Do not ingest. Do not get in eyes, skin or clothing. Avoid breathing vapor or mist for a long time.
Where concentration in air may exceed the limits of engineering work practice or other means of exposure reduction are not adequate, NIOSH/MSHA approved respirators may be necessary to prevent over exposure by inhalation.
VENTILATION : Whenever this product is used in a confined space, proper ventilation should be used (use of mechanical dilution in ventilation is recommended).
COMPATIBLE MATERIALS : Stainless Steel, Fiberglass, High density Polyethylene, Polypropylene, Polycarbonate, PVC or any acid resistance material
Appropriate arrangements: Showers, eyewash stations, ventilation systems.
Section 9. Physical and Chemical Properties
- Flash Point : Higher than 200oF (not regulated by OSHA)
- Boiling point @ 760 mm Hg : 275oF
- Freezing point : around -30oF
- pH : < 2 (See note below)
- V.O.C. : < 0.01 lbs/gal (not traceable)
- Appearance and Odor : Green, Lemon or Rosy smell
- Water Solubility : Highly soluble
Note : Even the value of pH is low, the chemical is non-hazardous in nature (see section 16). It is due to the special manufacturing process and technology, which keeps the pH very low, but has no significant effect on health while handling. However, according to EPA it is considered as a hazardous waste when disposed, because of low pH. But because the process is continuous and there is no waste disposal involved, the question does not arise. Also, since PicklexR does not etch the metal surface, no heavy metal from the metal parts goes into the PicklexR bath or the subsequent rinse water (in the finishing process). If for any reason the chemical itself has to be disposed, then the disposal of the chemical should be done as a hazardous waste in accordance with local, state and federal regulations.
Section 10. Stability and Reactivity
- STABILITY : Stable
- MATERIALS AND CONDITIONS TO AVOID INCOMPATIBILITY : Caustics, Amines, Alkanolamines, Aldehydes, strong Oxidizing agents and Chlorinated compounds.
