Hazard statements

Health Flammability Physical / Instability PPI / Special hazard. HMIS 2 0 1 NFPA Not established Immediate (Acute) Health Effects Inhalation Toxicity: Dust may be irritating to respiratory tract. If inhaled, mild irritation may result to the throat, upper respiratory tract, and lungs. Any irritation would be transient with no permanent damage expected. Skin Toxicity: Not expected to be toxic from dermal contact. Skin contact may cause minor irritation consisting of transient redness and/or swelling. This irritant effect would not be expected to result in permanent damage. Eye Toxicity: Contact with the eyes would be expected to cause moderate to severe irritation consisting of redness, swelling, and mucous discharge to the conjunctiva. Corneal injury with impairment of vision may occur. If not immediately rinsed from the eyes, thermal burns may occur because of the heat given off as it dissolves. Ingestion Toxicity: Moderately toxic if swallowed. Ingestion may cause irritation of the gastrointestinal tract and gastrointestinal discomfort with any or all of the following symptoms: nausea, vomiting or diarrhea. Ulceration may also occur resulting in G.I. bleeding. Acute Target Organ Toxicity: Powder can cause irritation to eyes, skin & respiratory tract. Liquid solution can cause burns to the skin and eyes.

Potential chronic health

Carcinogenicity: This product is not known or reported to be carcinogenic by any reference source including IARC, OSHA, NTP or EPA. Reproductive and Not known or reported to cause reproductive or developmental toxicity. Developmental Toxicity: Inhalation: Prolonged or repeated exposure may cause more severe irritation. Skin Contact: Prolonged contact may cause burns especially if skin is damp and/or abraded. When dissolving, the heat produced may cause more intense effects as well as thermal burns. Ingestion: More pronounced gastroenteritis effects and damage to the stomach would probably occur if this material is repeatedly ingested. Eye Contact: Prolonged contact may result in permanent damage. Corneal involvement or visual impairment is expected. Sensitization: This material is not known or reported to be a skin or respiratory sensitizer. Chronic Target Organ Toxicity: There are no known or reported target organ effects from chronic exposure.
