HYDROCt-II.OR1C ACID, 33 - 40% <br />http://w~yw.jtbakeccom/msds/h3880.hhrt <br />Explosion: • • <br />Not considered to be an explosion hazazd. <br />Fire Extinguishing Media: <br />If involved in a fire, use water spray. Neutralize with soda ash or slaked lime. <br />Special Information: <br />In the event of a fire, weaz full protective clothing and NIO5H-approved self-contained <br />breathing apparatus with full facepiece operated in the pressure demand or other positive <br />pressure mode. Structural firefighter's protective clothing is ineffective for fires involving <br />hydrochloric acid. Stay away from ends of tanks. Cool tanks with water spray until well <br />after fire is out. <br />6. Accidental Release Measures <br />Ventilate azea of leak or spill. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment as specified <br />in Section 8. Isolate hazazd area. Keep unnecessary and unprotected personnel f}om <br />entering. Contain and recover liquid when possible. Neutralize with alkaline material (soda <br />ash, lime), then absorb with an inert material (e. g., vermiculite, dry sand, earth); and place <br />in a chemical waste container. Do not use combustible materials, such as saw dttst. Do not <br />flush to sewer! US Regulations (CERCLA) require reporting spills and releases rto soil, <br />water and air in excess of reportable quantities. The toll free number for the US Coast Guard <br />National Response Center is (800) 424-8802. <br />J. T. Baker NEUTRASORB(tm) or TEAM(tm) 'Low Na+' acid neutralizers aze <br />recommended for spills of this product. <br />7. Handling and Storage <br />Store in a cool, dry, ventilated storage azea with acid resistant floors and good drainage. <br />Protect from physical damage. Keep out of direct sunlight and away from heat, water, and <br />incompatible materials. Do not wash out container and use it for other purposes. When <br />diluting, the acid should always be added slowly to water and in small amounts. Never use <br />hot water and never add water to the acid. Water added to acid can cause uncontrolled <br />boiling and splashing. When opening metal containers, use non-spazking tools because of <br />the possibility of hydrogen gas being present. Containers of this material may be hazardous <br />when empty since they retain product residues (vapors, liquid); observe all warnings and <br />precautions listed for the product. <br />8. Exposure Controls/Personal Protection <br />Airborne Exposure Limits: <br />-OSHA Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL): <br />5 ppm Ceiling <br />-ACGIH Threshold Limit Value (TLV): <br />5 ppm Ceiling <br />Ventilation System: <br />A system of local and/or general exhaust is recommended to keep employee exposures <br />• below the Airborne Exposure Limits. Local exhaust ventilation is generally prefazred <br />because it can control the emissions of the contaminant at its source, preventing dispersion <br />of it into the general work azea.
