Section 4: First Aid Measures <br />Eye Contact: <br />Check for and remove any contact lenses. In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 <br />minutes. Cold water may be used. Get medical attention immediately. <br />Skin Contact: <br />In case of contact, immediately flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing <br />and shoes. Cover the irritated skin with an emollient. Cold water may be used.Wash clothing before reuse. Thoroughly clean <br />shoes before reuse. Get medical attention immediately. <br />Serious Skin Contact: <br />Wash with a disinfectant soap and cover the contaminated skin with an anti - bacterial cream. Seek medical attention. <br />Inhalation: <br />If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical <br />attention immediately. <br />Serious Inhalation: <br />Evacuate the victim to a safe area as soon as possible. Loosen tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt or waistband. If <br />breathing is difficult, administer oxygen. If the victim is not breathing, perform mouth -to -mouth resuscitation. WARNING: It may <br />be hazardous to the person providing aid to give mouth -to -mouth resuscitation when the inhaled material is toxic, infectious or <br />corrosive. Seek immediate medical attention. <br />Ingestion: <br />Do NOT induce vomiting unless directed to do so by medical personnel. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious <br />person. If large quantities of this material are swallowed, call a physician immediately. Loosen tight clothing such as a collar, <br />tie, belt or waistband. <br />Serious Ingestion: Not available. <br />I Section 5: Fire and Explosion Data <br />Flammability of the Product: Non - flammable. <br />Auto - Ignition Temperature: Not applicable. <br />Flash Points: Not applicable. <br />Flammable Limits: Not applicable. <br />Products of Combustion: Not available. <br />Fire Hazards in Presence of Various Substances: metals <br />Explosion Hazards in Presence of Various Substances: <br />Risks of explosion of the product in presence of mechanical impact: Not available. Risks of explosion of the product in <br />presence of static discharge: Not available. Slightly explosive in presence of heat. <br />Fire Fighting Media and Instructions: Not available <br />Special Remarks on Fire Hazards: <br />sodium hydroxide + zinc metal dust causes ignition of the latter. Under proper conditions of temperature, pressure and state <br />of division, it can ignite or react violently with acetaldehyde, ally alcohol, allyl chloride, benzene -1,4 -diol, chlorine trifluoride, <br />1,2 dichlorethylene, nitroethane, nitromethane, nitroparaffins, nitropropane, cinnamaldehyde, 2 ,2- dichloro -3,3- dimethylbutane. <br />Sodium hydroxide in contact with water may generate enough heat to ignite adjacent combustible materials. Phosphorous <br />boiled with NaOH yields mixed phosphines which may ignite spontanously in air. sodium hydroxide and cinnamaldehyde + <br />heat may cause ignition. Reaction with certain metals releases flammable and explosive hydrogen gas. <br />Special Remarks on Explosion Hazards: <br />Sodium hydroxide reacts to form explosive products with ammonia + silver nitrate. Benzene extract of allyl benzenesulfonate <br />prepared from allyl alcohol, and benzene sulfonyl chloride in presence of aquesous sodium hydroxide, under vacuum <br />distillation, residue darkened and exploded. Sodium Hydroxde + impure tetrahydrofuran, which can contain peroxides, can <br />p. 2 <br />
