SECTION 3: COMPOSITION/INFORMATION ON INGREDIENTS

Chemical Name CAS Number Weight %

Phosphoric Acid 7664-38-2 20-30%
Hydrofluoric Acid 7664-39-3 10-20%
Ammonium Bifluoride 1341-49-7 10-20%

SECTION 4: FIRST AID MEASURES

Inhalation: Move affected person to fresh air. If breathing has stopped, administer CPR. If the person
vomits, clean the airway and turn their head to the side to prevent choking. If the person is
unconscious but breathing, place them stably on their left side in the recovery position. Seek
immediate medical attention.
Eye Contact: Flush eyes gently with clean water for at least 15 minutes. If irritation persists, seek
immediate medical attention.
Skin Contact: Remove any contaminated clothing using appropriate gloves. Rinse skin thoroughly for 15
minutes in a shower or with a hose. Seek immediate medical attention.
Ingestion: Rinse mouth out with water and remove any chemical residue. If person vomits, clean airway
and turn head to the side to prevent choking. Do NOT induce vomiting and do NOT give
anything to drink unless directed by a physician. If the person is unconscious but breathing,

place them stably on their left side in the recovery position. Never give anything by mouth to
an unconscious person. Seek immediate medical attention.

Most Important Symptoms/Effects, Acute and Delayed:

Aside from the information found under the First Aid Measures (above) and special treatment needed (below),
any additional important symptoms and effects are described in Section 11: Toxicological Information
Indication of Immediate Medical Attention and Special Treatment Needed:
Notes to Physician: Treat symptomatically. No specific antidote available.

SECTION 5: FIREFIGHTING MEASURES

Suitable Extinguishing Media: Foam, carbon dioxide, dry chemical

Specific Hazards Arising from Prevent run off from entering drains or sewers. Fires involving this product
the Chemical: may release oxides of carbon and nitrogen, reactive hydrocarbons, and
irritating vapors.
Special Protection Actions for Any closed containers may rupture when exposed to extreme heat. Use a
Firefighters: water spray to cool containers. Solvent vapors are heavier than air and travel
along the ground.

SECTION 6: ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

Personal Precautions, Protective Equipment and Emergency Procedures:

Immediately turn off or isolate any sources of ignition (pilot lights, electrical equipment, flames,
heaters, etc.). Evacuate area and ventilate.

Environmental Precautions:
Do not allow to enter drains or sewers. All disposal must comply with federal, state, and local
regulations. The material, if discarded or spill, may be a regulated waste. Refer to state and local
regulations. Department of Transportation (DOT) regulations may apply for transporting this material
when spilled. See Section 14. CAUTION: If spilled material is cleaned up using a regulated solvent,
the resulting waste mixture will also be regulated.

Methods and Materials for Containment and Cleaning Up:

Personnel wearing proper protective equipment should contain spill immediately with inert materials
(sand, earth, chemical spill pads of cotton) by forming dikes. Dikes should be placed to contain spill in
a manner that will prevent material from entering sewers and waterways. Large spills, once
contained, may be picked up using explosion-proof, non-sparking vacuum pumps, shovels, or buckets,
and disposed of in suitable containers.
If a large spill occurs, notify the appropriate authorities. In case of spill or accident, contact CHEMTEL
at 800.255.3924.

SECTION 7: HANDLING AND STORAGE

Precautions for Safe Handling:

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE):

Respiratory Protection:
Do not breathe vapors. When concentrations exceed the established limits, wear an appropriate,
properly fitted respirator (NIOSH/MSHA) until vapors are exhausted. Observe OSHA standard 29 CFR
1910.134 and ANSI Z88.2 requirements whenever workplace conditions require a respirator's use.
