- PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL DATA
- DESCRIPTION: White or pink granular powder with a pleasant fragrance.
- pH: 9.1 (1% Solution) SOLUBILITY IN WATER: Approximately 5% @ 20 °C.
- FIRE AND EXPLOSION DATA
- FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD - The fire hazard for this product has not been determined. The hazard(s) of the
- component(s) with the most severe hazard(s) are: Dust - air mixtures may explode.
- MSDS L-112 (Rev. 7)
- FIRE FIGHTING MEDIA - Dry chemical, carbon dioxide, water spray or regular foam. For larger fires, use water spray, fog
- or regular foam.
- FIRE FIGHTING - Move container from fire area if you can do it without risk. Do not scatter spilled material with high -
- pressure water streams. Dike fire-control water for later disposal. Use agents suitable for type of surrounding fire.
- Avoid breathing hazardous vapors, keep upwind.
- HEALTH HAZARD DATA
- NOTE: The acute health effects described below are those which could potentially occur for the finished product. They
- are based on the toxicology information available for the finished product and/or each hazardous ingredient, and are
- consistent with the product type and the likelihood of a specific route of exposure. Known chronic health effects related to
- exposure to a specific ingredient are indicated.
- ACUTE HEALTH EFFECTS:
- INHALATION: Dusts may cause mucous membrane and respiratory tract irritation.
- SKIN CONTACT: Repeated or prolonged exposure can result in defatting and drying of the skin which may result
- in irritation and dermatitis. Absorption of sodium borate through severely damaged skin can
- result in effects and symptoms similar to those following ingestion. However, there are no cases
- of poisoning from occupational exposures reported in the literature.
- EYE CONTACT: May cause moderate to severe irritation, with possibility of corneal injury if not removed
- promptly.
- INGESTION: Large quantities may cause nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea, lethargy, headache,
- lightheadness, or atypical rash.
- CHRONIC HEALTH EFFECTS:
- No chronic health effects are expected from the intended use of these products or from foreseeable handling of them in
- the workplace. Nonetheless, the following effects have been reported for a component, sodium borate, and boric acid.
- Sodium borate upon entry into the body becomes boric acid.
- Sodium Borate: Depending upon the dose, sodium borate and boric acid interfere with sperm production, damage
- the testes and interfere with male fertility when given to animals by mouth at high doses. Depending upon the
- dose, boric acid produces developmental effects, including reduced body weight, malformations and death, in the
- offspring of pregnant animals given boric acid by mouth.
- The above mentioned animal studies were conducted under exposure conditions leading to doses many times in
- excess of those that could occur through product use or inhalation of dust in occupational settings. Moreover, a
- human study of occupational exposure to sodium borate and boric acid dusts showed no adverse effect on fertility.
- MEDICAL CONDITIONS GENERALLY RECOGNIZED AS BEING AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE: Persons with
- history of chronic skin conditions.
- EMERGENCY AND FIRST AID PROCEDURES
- INHALATION: Remove from exposure area to fresh air immediately. Keep affected person warm and at rest. Treat
- symptomatically and supportively. Contact physician or local poison control center. If breathing has stopped, give
- artificial respiration, and get medical attention immediately.
- SKIN CONTACT: Rinse affected area until no evidence of product remains. Get medical attention if symptoms of
- overexposure, as described above for ingestion, develop or if irritation persists.
- EYE CONTACT: Immediately rinse eyes with plenty of water, occasionally lifting upper and lower lids, until no
- evidence of product remains. Get medical attention if pain or irritation persist.
- MSDS L-112 (Rev. 7)
- INGESTION: Treat symptomatically and supportively. Maintain airway and respiration. If vomiting occurs, keep head
- below hips to prevent aspiration. Dilution by rinsing the mouth and giving water or milk to drink is generally
- recommended. If unconscious, the victim should not be given anything to drink. Contact physician or local poison
- control center.
- REACTIVITY
- REACTIVITY - Stable under normal temperatures and pressures.
- INCOMPATIBILITIES: Strong oxidizers, zirconium.
- DECOMPOSITION - Thermal decomposition may release toxic and/or hazardous gases.
- POLYMERIZATION - Hazardous polymerization has not been reported to occur under normal temperatures and
- pressures.
- STORAGE AND DISPOSAL
- Store away from incompatible substances. Observe all federal, state and local regulations when storing or disposing of
- this substance.
- CONDITIONS TO AVOID
- Avoid contact with incompatible substances and excessive heat.
- SPILL AND LEAK PROCEDURES
- OCCUPATIONAL SPILL - Sweep up and place in suitable clean, dry containers for reclamation or later disposal. Do not
- flush spilled material into sewer. Keep unnecessary people away.
- OCCUPATIONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
- VENTILATION - Provide local exhaust ventilation to meet permissible exposure limits where generation of dust is likely to
- occur.
- RESPIRATOR - Air contamination monitoring should be carried out where generation of dust is likely to occur to assure
- that the employees are not exposed to harmful concentrations exceeding permissible exposure limits. If respiratory
- protection is required, it must be based on the contamination levels found in the workplace, must not exceed the working
- limits of the respirator and be jointly approved by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health and the Mine
- Safety and Health Administration (NIOSH-MSHA).
- FOR FIRE FIGHTING AND OTHER IMMEDIATELY DANGEROUS TO LIFE OR HEALTH CONDITIONS -
- Any self-contained breathing apparatus that has a full facepiece and is operated in a pressure-demand or other positivepressure
- mode. Any supplied-air respirator that has a full facepiece and is operated in a pressure-demand or other
- positive-pressure mode in combination with an auxiliary self-contained breathing apparatus operated in pressuredemand
- or other positive-pressure mode.
- CLOTHING - Protective clothing should be worn where prolonged skin contact may occur.
- GLOVES - Chemical-resistant gloves should be worn where prolonged skin contact may occur.
- EYE PROTECTION - Safety glasses are not generally required during occupational conditions, unless dusty conditions are
- anticipated.
- REGULATORY INFORMATION
- DOT FLAMMABILITY CLASSIFICATION: Not applicable.
