cause serious explosions. Dry mixtures of sodium hydroxide and sodium tetrahydroborate liberate hydrogen explosively at <br />230 -270 deg. C. Sodium Hydroxide reacts with sodium salt of trichlorophenol + methyl alcohol + trichlorobenzene + heat to <br />cause an explosion. <br />I Section 6: Accidental Release Measures I <br />Small Spill: <br />Use appropriate tools to put the spilled solid in a convenient waste disposal container. If necessary: Neutralize the residue with <br />a dilute solution of acetic acid. <br />Large Spill: <br />Corrosive solid. Stop leak if without risk. Do not get water inside container. Do not touch spilled material. Use water spray <br />to reduce vapors. Prevent entry into sewers, basements or confined areas; dike if needed. Call for assistance on disposal. <br />Neutralize the residue with a dilute solution of acetic acid. Be careful that the product is not present at a concentration level <br />above TLV. Check TLV on the MSDS and with local authorities. <br />Section 7: Handling and Storage <br />Precautions: <br />Keep container dry. Do not breathe dust. Never add water to this product. In case of insufficient ventilation, wear suitable <br />respiratory equipment. If you feel unwell, seek medical attention and show the label when possible. Avoid contact with skin <br />and eyes. Keep away from incompatibles such as oxidizing agents, reducing agents, metals, acids, alkalis, moisture. <br />Storage: Keep container tightly closed. Keep container in a cool, well - ventilated area. Hygroscopic. Deliquescent. <br />I Section 8: Exposure Controls /Personal Protection I <br />Engineering Controls: <br />Use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to keep airborne levels below recommended <br />exposure limits. If user operations generate dust, fume or mist, use ventilation to keep exposure to airborne contaminants <br />below the exposure limit. <br />Personal Protection: <br />Splash goggles. Synthetic apron. Vapor and dust respirator. Be sure to use an approved /certified respirator or equivalent. <br />Gloves. <br />Personal Protection in Case of a Large Spill: <br />Splash goggles. Full suit. Vapor and dust respirator. Boots. Gloves. A self contained breathing apparatus should be used to <br />avoid inhalation of the product. Suggested protective clothing might not be sufficient; consult a specialist BEFORE handling <br />this product. <br />Exposure Limits: <br />STEL: 2 (mg /m3) from ACGIH (TLV) [United States] TWA: 2 CEIL: 2 (mg /m3) from OSHA (PEL) [United States] CEIL: 2 (mg/ <br />m3) from NIOSHConsult local authorities for acceptable exposure limits. <br />I Section 9: Phvsical and Chemical Properties I <br />Physical state and appearance: Solid. (Deliquescent solid.) <br />Odor: Odorless. <br />Taste: Not available. <br />Molecular Weight: 40 g /mole <br />Color: White. <br />p. 3 <br />
