3. HAZARD IDENTIFICATION
ROUTES OF EXPOSURE: Skin Yes
Ingestion Yes
Inhalation Yes
ACUTE EFFECTS:
Causes eye and skin irritation.
Exposure may cause irritation to mucous membranes and upper respiratory
tract. Harmful if swallowed.
CHRONIC EFFECTS: Prolonged or repeated exposure to reagents containing formamide may
cause adverse reproductive effects. May
cause fetal effects. See FORMAzol MSDS
for more detailed information relating to formamide.
4. FIRST AID
In case of contact, immediately flush eyes or skin
with water for at least 15 min while removing contaminated clothing and
shoes. If inhaled, remove to fresh
air. If not breathing, give artificial
respiration. If breathing is difficult,
give oxygen. If swallowed, wash out
mouth with water provided person is conscious.
Seek medical attention. If
swallowed, do not induce vomiting unless directed to do so by medical personnel. Wash contaminated clothing before reuse.
5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Negligible fire hazard when exposed to heat or
flame. Extinguishing media: water
spray, carbon dioxide, dry chemical powder or appropriate foam. Fires involving formamide will likely
produce very toxic gases that should not be inhaled.
Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and protective
clothing to prevent contact with skin and eyes.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Evacuate unnecessary personnel from area. Provide
adequate general or local exhaust ventilation. If adequate ventilation is
unavailable, wear self-contained breathing apparatus. Wear appropriate protective eyeglasses or chemical safety goggles. Wear appropriate protective gloves and
protective clothing to prevent skin exposure.
Absorb on sand or vermiculite and place in containers for disposal. Ventilate area and wash spill site after
material pickup is complete.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Irritant. Keep
container closed. Store in a cool dry
place. Wear lab coat, gloves and eye
protection and provide adequate ventilation.
Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing. Wash hands thoroughly after handling.
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/ PERSONAL PROTECTION
For routine operations wear lab coat, gloves and
safety glasses to avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing. Ensure availability of eyewash and safety
shower. Avoid prolonged or repeated
inhalation and skin exposure.
9. PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL PROPERTIES

INCOMPATIBILITIES: Strong oxidizing agents, bromine trifluoride, iodine heptafluoride and
potassium chlorate. In addition,
HS-114F (with formamide) is incompatible with aluminum, acids, bases, calcium
nitrate, pyridine, iodine and sulfur
trioxide.
HAZARDOUS COMBUSTION OR DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS: Toxic fumes of carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide,
nitrogen oxides, ammonia and chlorine.
11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
May be harmful by inhalation, ingestion, or skin
absorption. Causes eye and skin
irritation. Material is irritating to
mucous membranes and upper respiratory tract.
To the best of our knowledge, the chemical, physical, and toxicological
properties of this formulation have not been thoroughly investigated. HS-114F containing formamide may pose a
potential birth defect hazard.
