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. If victim is conscious and alert, give 2-4 cupfuls of milk or water. Seek medical attention. 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. Special fire fighting procedures: may emit toxic fumes under fire conditions. 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 the reagent.
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
Appearance: Clear, light orange liquid
Assay: >99 %
