This chemical is subject to S.A.R.A. Title III section 313 Part 372 reporting
PHYSICAL DATA:
APPEARANCE: Colorless & light yellow liquid
SPECIFIC GRAVITY: 1.16
ODOR: Pungent suffocating odor VAPOR DENSITY: 1.27
BOILING RANGE: 182 F VAPOR PRESSURE: 25@ 680F
Evaporation: Less than 1 SOLUBILITY IN WATER: complete
pH 1% solution: 0.8 VOLATILES BY VOLUME: nearly 100%
FIRE AND EXPLOSION DATA:
FLASH POINT: Does not exhibit a flash point
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Dry chemical or CO2
SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES: Water spray may be used to keep closed containers cool. Water mixed with acid evolves heat and causes spattering. Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing.
UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS: Contact with organic materials can cause spontaneous ignition. Contact with metals can evolve hydrogen, a flammable gas.
EMERGENCY AND FIRST AID INFORMATION:
SKIN CONTACT: Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash exposed areas thoroughly with soap and water. Get medical attention.
EYE CONTACT: Corrosive to eyes. Flush with water for 15 minutes and get medical attention.
INGESTION: Do not induce vomiting. Give milk or whites of eggs and water to dilute. Get medical attention Immediately.
HEALTH HAZARD DATA:
THRESHOLD LIMIT VALUE: 1MG/M3
OSHA PEL: 1MG/M3
EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE: Inhalation of fumes or mists can result in irritation or burns to the upper respiratory tract and lungs. Pulmonary edema can also occur. Ingestion of this material will burn the mouth, throat, and stomach and can cause death. Eye or skin contact will result in serious burns and may cause blindness. Chronic exposure to this product may result in erosion of the teeth, mouth inflammation, Trachea-Bronchitis, Conjunctivitis and skin lesions.
SPECIAL PROTECTION INFORMATION:
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: Use NIOSH approved respirator for exposure to acid.
VENTILATION: Local exhaust preferred.
PROTECTIVE GLOVES: Rubber
EYE PROTECTION: Safety goggles and face shield are required.
OTHER PROTECTION: Rubber aprons and shoes; hard hat; eye-wash; safety shower.
HANDLING PRECAUTIONS:
Rubber gloves, rubber aprons, safety goggles, and rubber shoes required.
EMERGENCY AND FIRST AID INSTRUCTIONS:
EYE EXPOSURE: Immediately flush with plenty of water, especially under eyelids, for at least 15 minutes. Get medical attention.
SKIN EXPOSURE: Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash exposed areas thoroughly with soap and water. Get medical attention.

SPILL, LEAK, AND DISPOSAL PROCEDURES:
PROCEDURES IF MATERIAL IS SPILLED OR RELEASED; Use protective equipment to avoid contact with skin or eyes. Neutralize spill with soda ash. Flush area with water using care. Un-neutralized acid evolves heat when mixed with water.
REACTIVITY DATA:
STABILITY: Stable
INCOMPATIBILITY: Hydrochloric Acid is highly reactive and capable of igniting finely divided combustible material on contact. Reacts violently with water and organic materials with the evolution of heat. Extremely hazardous in contact with many materials, particularly carbides, chlorates, fulminates, nitrates, picrates, powdered metals and other combustible material. Attacks many metals, releasing hydrogen gas.
CONDITIONS TO AVOID: Extreme heat
HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS: Extreme temperature may release fumes.
PRECAUTIONARY LABELING:
CAUTION! DO NOT TAKE INTERNALLY. Many chemicals in concentrated form will cause irritation of skin and eyes. If skin is contacted, wash immediately with soap and water. For eyes, flush with clear water for 15 minutes and if irritation persists, get medical attention. If ingested, get immediate medical attention. FOR INDUSTRIAL USE ONLY. This product has been specially formulated and manufactured for the control of industrial, municipal and commercial water problems, or for a specific industrial use. It should be used only according to control procedures established for each specific application.
OTHER HANDLING AND STORAGE PRECAUTIONS AND CONDITIONS:
Causes severe burns to eyes, skin and mucous membranes. Vapor or gaseous oxides extremely hazardous to the lungs. Protect containers against physical damage. Wash thoroughly after handling Keep away from heat and out of sun . Loosen closure carefully, Never use pressure to empty, Replace closure after each withdrawal. Make sure closure is secured. Store in well ventilated area. Keep away from combustible materials.
WHEN DILUTING; Carefully add acid to water. Dilute solution of Hydrochloric Acid react with most metals to release Hydrogen, a flammable gas.
