Hazard effects:

The product is irritating to eyes and degreasing to skin.

Environmental effects:

See ”Ecological Information” heading no 12.

Other effects:

Contact with non-precious metals (eg aluminium, iron, zinc and their alloys) generates hydrogen gas, which can forman explosive mixture with air.

Inhalation:

Remove patient to fresh air upon irritation or breathing difficulty.

Skin contact:

Wash with soap and water, use skin cream if necessary.Remove all contaminated clothing which should be aundered before reuse

Eye contact:

Rinse with plenty of water. Seek medical attention.

Ingestion:

Rinse with plenty of water. Seek medical attention.

Extinguishing Media:

Governed by other material present.

Unsuitable Ext. Media:

None known.

Special Protective quipment:

Self-contained breathing apparatus should be worn when ighting fires.

Special Exposure Hazards:

Hydrochloric acid fumes may be emitted during thermal ecomposition.

Large Spillage:

Contain and adsorb with sand, earth or another suitableinert material. Prevent the product from reaching sewageand water courses. Adjust to pH 6-10 (with care as reaction is exothermic) using sodium carbonate, calcium xide or calcium carbonate.

Small spillage:

Wash away with plenty of water if acceptable to local authorities.

Personal Protection:

Goggles and rubber/PVC gloves. Full working clothes  ccommended. Eye wash station needed.

Handling:

Normal handling precautions applicable to industrial chemicals.

Storage:

Store the product in the original package or in a container/tank of polythene, glass fibre reinforced polyester (FRP) or PVC-lined.

Material to Avoid:

Avoid most metals, especially the non-precious variety.

Respiration:

Not applicable under normal conditions of use. However, ood ventilation should be provided in working areas. Do ot inhale the vapour.

Skin Contact:

Use rubber/PVC gloves. Full working clothesrecommended.

Eye Contact:

Goggles and eyewash station.

Other information

Jowa 54 cannot be analysed by conventionalmethods because of its special composition and highion strength. Specialised methods have to be used.When pH is calculated it will thus be 3,7±0,3

Hazardous Decomposition:

None

Conditions to Avoid:

None known

Materials to Avoid:

Non-precious metals such as aluminium, iron, zinc andtheir alloys.

Hazardous Reactions:

Contact with non-precious metals can produce hydrogengas which together with air can give an explosive mixture

Acute toxicity

No data found. 

Irritation data

Skin contact:

Non-irritating (rabbit, OECD 404). May cause flushing of sensitive skin and pain in wounds. Has also a drying effect on skin.

Eye contact:

Irritant due to experiences from people handling the product. Gives transient redness and pain.

Sensitisation data:

No information

Long term effects:

No information

Addition information:

No information

Biodegradability:

Not relevant for an inorganic product such as this. This product mineralises immediately under normal conditions and is therefore considered to be readily degradable.

Aquatic Toxicity:

FISH Lepomis macrochirus LC50 (96 h): pH=3,0-3,5.* At pH= 4,8-5,6 Aluminium appears in a chemical form which is very toxic for fish (suffocation).

Other Information:

The pH decrease is responsible for the environmental effect on fish, plankton and stationary organisms. At pH= 3,0 the mucous membrane of the gills will coagulate (suffocation). pH= 4,0 causes irritation of the gills. If not neutralised, this product can be toxic for aquatic organisms.

WGK:

1.

Product Disposal:

Neutralised product should be transferred to a suitable container for further treatment. Obtain advice form local authorities.

Packaging Disposal:

As for product.
