Store in a closed container, P501 Dispose of contents/container in accordance with local, state or federal regulations. 3 COMPOSITION/INFORMATION ON INGREDIENTS Ingredient: Barium CAS#: 7440­39­3 %: 100 EC#: 231­149­1 4 FIRST AID MEASURES General Measures: Remove patient from area of exposure. INHALATION: Remove to fresh air, keep warm and quiet, give oxygen if breathing is difficult. Seek immediate medical attention. INGESTION: Quickly wipe material from mouth and rinse with water. Do not induce vomiting. Seek medical attention immediately. SKIN: Remove contaminated clothing if necessary. Brush off any visible solids. Wash the affected area with water for at least 15 minutes. Seek medical attention. EYES: Immediately flush eyes with copious amounts of water, including under eyelids for at least 10­15 minutes. A victim may need assistance in keeping their eyelids open. Seek immediate medical attention. Most Important Symptoms/Effects, Acute and Delayed: May cause severe irritation in contact with mucous membranes and moist skin. See section 11 for more information. Indication of Immediate Medical Attention and Special Treatment: No other relevant information available. 5 FIREFIGHTING MEASURES Extinguishing Media: Use Class D dry powder extinguishing agent. Unsuitable Extinguishing Media: Do not use water, carbon dioxide or halogenated extinguishers. Specific Hazards Arising from the Material: Material readily reacts with water generating flammable hydrogen gas. May emit fumes of barium oxide under fire conditions. Special Protective Equipment and Precautions for Firefighters: Full face, self­contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing to prevent contact with skin and eyes. Barium metal can reignite after fire is initially extinguished. Never leave extinguished fire unattended. http://www.espimetals.com/index.php/msds/46­barium?tmpl=component&print=1&page= 2/6 4/21/2016 Barium | Barium 6 ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES Personal Precautions, Protective Equipment, and Emergency Procedures: Wear appropriate respiratory and protective equipment specified in section 8. Isolate spill area and provide ventilation. Avoid breathing dust or fume. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Eliminate all sources of ignition. Methods and Materials for Containment and Cleaning Up: Sweep or scoop spilled product and place in a closed container for further handling and disposal. Do not use water for spill clean­up. Cover very small quantities in the open with powdered limestone and let decompose. Use only non­sparking tools and natural bristle brushes. Environmental Precautions: Do not flush to sewer, stream, or other bodies of water. Do not allow to enter drains or to be released to the environment. 7 HANDLING AND STORAGE Precautions for Safe Handling: Handle in an enclosed, controlled process under dry protective gas such as argon. Use non­sparking tools. Protect from sources of ignition. Do not allow contact with water. Avoid breathing dust or fumes. Provide adequate ventilation if dusts are created. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Wash thoroughly before eating or smoking. See section 8 for information on personal protection equipment. Conditions for Safe Storage, Including Any Incompatibilities: Store material tightly sealed in properly labeled containers under argon or mineral oil. Storage area should be free of combustibles and ignition sources. Do not store together with acids, oxidizers, halogens. Protect from water/moisture. See section 10 for more information on incompatible materials. 8 EXPOSURE CONTROLS AND PERSONAL PROTECTION Exposure Limits: Barium OSHA/PEL: 0.5 mg/m3 ACGIH/TLV: 0.5 mg/m3 Appropriate Engineering Controls: Handle in an enclosed, controlled process under dry argon. Whenever possible the use of local exhaust ventilation or other engineering controls is the preferred method of controlling exposure to airborne dust and fume to meet established occupational exposure limits. Do not use tobacco or food in work area. Wash thoroughly before eating or smoking. Do not blow dust off clothing or skin with compressed air. Prepare for the possibility of a fire. Keep extinguishing agents, tools for handling and protective clothing readily available. Individual Protection Measures, Such as Personal Protective Equipment: Respiratory Protection: Wear a NIOSH/MSHA approved respirator when high concentrations are present. Eye Protection: Always wear approved chemical splash proof goggles. Skin Protection: Rubber gloves, flame retardant protective work clothing. 9 PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL PROPERTIES Appearance: Form: Solid in various forms http://www.espimetals.com/index.php/msds/46­barium?tmpl=component&print=1&page= 3/6 4/21/2016 Barium | Barium Color: Silver­gray metallic Odor: Not determined Odor Threshold: Not determined pH: N/A Melting Point: 725 oC Boiling Point: 1640 oC Flash Point: N/A Evaporation Rate: N/A Flammability: Flammable solid Upper Flammable Limit: No data Lower Flammable Limit: No data Vapor Pressure: 10 mm at 1049 oC Vapor Density: N/A Relative Density (Specific Gravity): 3.51 g/cc at 20 oC Solubility in H2O: Decomposes Partition Coefficient (n­octanol/water): Not determined Autoignition Temperature: No data Decomposition Temperature: No data Viscosity: N/A 10 STABILITY AND REACTIVITY Reactivity: No data Chemical Stability: Stable under recommended storage conditions. Possibility of Hazardous Reactions: Barium reacts readily with water releasing flammable hydrogen gas. Conditions to Avoid: Heat, sparks, flame. Exposure to water or moist air. Incompatible Materials: Water or moisture, oxidizing agents, oxygen, acids, alcohols, halocarbons, carbon dioxide, ammonia. Hazardous Decomposition Products: Barium oxides, hydrogen gas.

Principle Routes of Exposure

Inhalation, skin, eyes Symptoms of Exposure: May cause severe irritation to the nose, throat, and upper respiratory tract, mouth, throat, and http://www.espimetals.com/index.php/msds/46­barium?tmpl=component&print=1&page= 4/6 4/21/2016 Barium | Barium esophagus. Contact with skin can cause mild to moderate irritation. May cause chemical burns in eyes or on skin as it reacts with moisture on living tissue. Acute and Chronic Effects: Barium compounds may cause severe gastroenteritis, including abdominal pain, vomiting and diarrhea, tremors, faintness, paralysis of the arms and legs, and slow or irregular heartbeat. Severe cases may produce collapse and death due to respiratory failure. Soluble barium compounds are more likely to cause these effects than insoluble compounds. Inhalation of fumes may cause sore throat, coughing, labored breathing, and irritation of the respiratory tract as well as the above symptoms. Chronic exposure to barium may cause sensitization, chronic barium poisoning, dermatitis, corneal opacity and blindness. Acute Toxicity: No data Carcinogenicity NTP Not identified as carcinogenic IARC Not identified as carcinogenic To the best of our knowledge the chemical, physical and toxicological characteristics of the substance are not fully known.
