• • SODIUM CYANIDE BRIQUETTE PRS Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) Revision date: 20/3/2008 Pagina 2 de 5 If wearing contact lenses, remove them. Wash eyes with plenty of clean and cool water for at least 10 minutes while pulling eyelids up, and seek medical assistance. Skin contact. • Remove contaminated clothing. Wash skin vigorously with water and soap or a suitable skin cleaner. NEVER use solvents or thinners. Ingestion. If accidentally ingested, seek immediate medical attention. Keep calm. NEVER induce vomiting. 5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES. Recommended extinguishing methods. Extinguisher powder or CO2. In case of more serious fires, also alcohol - resistant foam and water spray. Do not use a direct stream of water to extinguish. Special risks. Fire can cause thick, black smoke. As a result of thermal decomposition, dangerous products can form: carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide. Exposure to combustion or decomposition products can be harmful to your health. Fire protection equipment. According to the size of the fire, it may be necessary to use protective suits against the heat, individual breathing equipment, gloves, protective goggles or facemasks, and gloves. Other recommendations. Use water to cool tanks, cisterns, or containers close to the heat source or fire. Take wind direction into account. Prevent the products used to fight the fire from going into drains, sewers, or waterways. 6. MEASURES TO TAKE IN CASE OF ACCIDENTAL SPILL. Individual precautions. Eliminate possible ignition points and ventilate the area. Avoid breathing fumes. For exposure control and individual protection measures, see section 8. Cleaning methods. Pick up the spill with non - combustible absorbent materials (soil, sand, vermiculite, diatomite, etc.). Pour the product and the absorbent in an appropriate container. The contaminated area should be immediately cleaned with an appropriate de- contaminator. Pour the decontaminator on the remains in an opened container and let it act various days until no further reaction is produced. For later elimination of waste, follow the recommendations under section 13. Environmental protection precautions. Prevent the contamination of drains, surface or subterranean waters, and the ground. In case of large spills or if the product contaminates lakes, rivers, or sewers, inform the responsible authorities according to local legislation. 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE. 7.1 Handling. GROUP T T39 quimica The fumes are heavier than air and can spread across the ground. They can form explosive mixtures with air. Prevent the creation of flammable or explosive fume concentrations in the air; prevent fume concentrations above work exposure limits. The preparation must only be used in areas where all unprotected flames and other ignition points have been eliminated. Electrical equipment has to be protected according to applicable standards. The preparation can be electrostatically charged: always use earth grounds when transferring the product. Operators must use anti - static footwear and clothing, and floors must be conductors. Keep the container tightly closed and isolated from heat sources, sparks, and fire. Do not use tools that can cause sparks. Prevent the preparation from contacting the skin or eyes. Avoid the inhalation of fumes and mists that form when spraying. For personal protection, see section 8. Never use pressure to empty the containers. They are not pressure- resistant containers. In the application area, smoking, eating, and drinking must be prohibited. Follow legislation on occupational health and safety. Keep the product in containers made of a material identical to the original. SODIUM CYANIDE BRIQUETTE PRS MSDS (MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEETS)
