Safety Information

  • This information is a summary based on the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS).
  • 1. GHS Classification
    • Acute Toxicity, Oral (Category 3)
    • Acute Toxicity, Dermal (Category 3)
    • Acute Toxicity, Inhalation (Category 3)
    • Specific Target Organ Toxicity — Repeated Exposure (Category 2) (Affects blood)
    • Hazardous to the Aquatic Environment, Acute Hazard (Category 1)
    • Hazardous to the Aquatic Environment, Chronic Hazard (Category 1)
  • 2. GHS Label Elements
    • Pictograms:
      • Skull and Crossbones (GHS06)
      • Health Hazard (GHS08)
      • Environment (GHS09)
    • Signal Word: Danger
    • Hazard Statements (H-Statements):
      • H301 + H311 + H331: Toxic if swallowed, in contact with skin or if inhaled.
      • H373: May cause damage to organs (blood) through prolonged or repeated exposure.
      • H410: Very toxic to aquatic life with long-lasting effects.
    • Precautionary Statements (P-Statements):
    • Prevention:
      • P260: Do not breathe dust/fume/gas/mist/vapors/spray.
      • P273: Avoid release to the environment.
      • P280: Wear protective gloves, protective clothing, and eye protection.
    • Response:
      • P301 + P310: IF SWALLOWED: Immediately call a POISON CENTER or doctor/physician.
      • P302 + P352 + P312: IF ON SKIN: Wash with plenty of soap and water. Call a POISON CENTER or doctor/physician if you feel unwell.
      • P311: Call a POISON CENTER or doctor/physician.
      • P391: Collect spillage.
    • Storage:
      • P405: Store locked up.
    • Disposal:
      • P501: Dispose of contents/container to an approved hazardous waste disposal plant.
  • 3. Summary of Primary Hazards
    • Health Hazards: Toxic by all routes of exposure (ingestion, inhalation, and skin absorption). A primary hazard is the formation of methemoglobin, which reduces the oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood, leading to cyanosis (bluish skin), confusion, and headache.
    • Environmental Hazards: Very toxic to aquatic life with long-lasting effects. It is critical to prevent its release into the environment.
    • Fire Hazards: Combustible liquid. Emits toxic and corrosive fumes under fire conditions.
