Health hazards

CORROSIVE TO EYES AND SKIN. CAUSES SEVERE SKIN BURNS AND EYE DAMAGE. FATAL IF INHALED. HARMFUL IF SWALLOWED. CHRONIC ORAL EXPOSURE TO HIGH CONCENTRATIONS OF BORIC ACID MAY DAMAGE FERTILITY OR THE UNBORN CHILD. THIS MATERIAL IS A POTENTIAL ENDOCRINE DISRUPTOR.

Physical hazards

MAY INTENSIFY FIRE; OXIDIZER. Contact with water liberates irritating and hazardous chlorine containing gases. Contamination with moisture, organic material, or other incompatible chemicals may start a reaction with generation of heat, liberation of hazardous gases, and possible fire and explosion. When ignited will burn with the evolution of chlorine and equally toxic gases. Products exceeding 225 °C ( 437 °F ) will decompose with liberation of toxic gases and possible fire and explosion. Do not get water inside container. Wet or damp material may generate large quantities of nitrogen trichloride (NCl3) in a short period of time, an explosive chemical with lachrymatory vapors. AQUATIC TOXICITY: Very toxic to aquatic life with long lasting effects. Oxidizing Solid - Category 2 - May intensify fire; oxidizer GHS: CONTACT HAZARD - SKIN Category 1C - Causes severe skin burns and eye damage GHS: CONTACT HAZARD - EYE Category 1 - Causes serious eye damage GHS: ACUTE TOXICITY - INHALATION Category 2 - Fatal if inhaled GHS: ACUTE TOXICITY - ORAL Category 4 - Harmful if swallowed GHS: REPRODUCTION TOXIN Category 1B - May damage fertility or the unborn child HAZARDS NOT OTHERWISE CLASSIFIED (HNOC) AQUATIC TOXICITY - ACUTE: Category 1 (Very toxic to aquatic life) AQUATIC TOXICITY - CHRONIC: Category 1 (Very toxic to aquatic life with long lasting effects) GHS: SUPPLEMENTAL HAZARD Contact with acids liberates toxic gas GHS SYMBOL: Oxidizer, Corrosion, Skull and Crossbones, Health hazard, Environmental hazard GHS SIGNAL WORD: DANGER GHS HAZARD STATEMENTS GHS - Physical Hazard Statement(s) May intensify fire; oxidizer GHS - Health Hazard Statement(s) - Causes severe skin burns and eye damage Fatal if inhaled Harmful if swallowed May damage fertility of the unborn child if ingested Additional Hazards - GHS Hazards Not Otherwise Classified (HNOC) ACUTE AQUATIC HAZARD - CATEGORY 1: Very toxic to aquatic life CHRONIC AQUATIC HAZARD - CATEGORY 1: Very toxic to aquatic life with long lasting effects GHS - Precautionary Statement(s) - Prevention Obtain special instructions before use Do not handle until all safety precautions have been read and understood Keep away from heat Keep away from combustible materials Take precaution to avoid mixing with combustibles, acids, ammonia, bases, floor sweeping compounds, calcium hypochlorite, reducing agents, organic solvents and compounds Do not breathe dusts or mists Wash skin and contaminated clothing thoroughly after handling Do not eat, drink or smoke when using this product Use only outdoors or in a well-ventilated area Wear protective gloves, protective clothing, eye, and face protection In case of inadequate ventilation, wear respiratory protection Avoid release to the environment GHS - Precautionary Statement(s) - Response IF SWALLOWED: Rinse mouth.

Rinse skin with water/shower Wash contaminated clothing before reuse IF IN EYES: Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes. Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do Continue rinsing IF EXPOSED (skin/eye): Immediately call a POISON CENTER OR PHYSICIAN Specific treatment for skin or eye contact (see First Aid information on product label and/or Section 4 of the SDS) In case of fire: Use flooding with copious amounts of water to extinguish. Do not use ABC fire extinguishers. Do not use dry chemicals, carbon dioxide, or halogenated extinguishing agents Collect spillage GHS - Precautionary Statement(s) - Storage Store in a well-ventilated place. Keep container tightly closed Store in a secure manner Not Otherwise Classified • Reacts in contact with water to evolve nitrogen trichloride, an explosion hazard • Wet or damp material may generate large quantities of nitrogen trichloride (NCl3) in a short period of time, an explosive chemical with lachrymatory vapors • Products exceeding 225 °C ( 437 °F ) will decompose with liberation of toxic gases and possible fire and explosion • NFPA Class 1 Oxidizer (An oxidizer that does not moderately increase the burning rate of combustible materials with which it comes into contact)

Precautionary statements

Obtain special instructions before use. Do not handle until all safety precautions have been read and understood. Do not breathe dusts or mists. Wash skin and contaminated clothing thoroughly after handling. Do not eat, drink or smoke when using this product. Use only outdoors or in a well-ventilated area. In case of inadequate ventilation, wear respiratory protection. Wear protective gloves, protective clothing, eye, and face protection. Avoid release to the environment. Keep away from heat, sparks, open flames, hot surfaces - No smoking. Keep away from combustible materials. Take precaution to avoid mixing with combustibles, acids, ammonia, bases, floor sweeping compounds, calcium hypochlorite, reducing agents, organic solvents and compounds. - Disposal • Dispose of contents and container in accordance with applicable local, regional, national, and/or international regulations

Additional information

Do not get water inside container; damp or wet material may generate nitrogen trichloride, an explosion hazard. This material is corrosive and an oxidizer. May cause burns to moist skin if not promptly removed. To treat contacted tissue, flush with water to dilute. There is no specific antidote. Sodium bromide at high doses affects the thyroid, adrenals and testes; may be an endocrine disruptor. The NOEL for sodium bromide is 300 mg/kg diet. ******************************************************************************************************************************** HAZARD CLASSIFICATION Boric acid treatment of lactating women resulted in the detection of boric acid in breast milk See Section 11: TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION _________________________________________________________________________________________________
