WARNING! causes irritation to skin, eyes and respiratory tract. Harmful if swallowed or inhaled.

Inhalation
    

:

granular material does not pose a significant inhalation hazard, but inhalation of dust may cause irritation of the respiratory tract, with symptoms of coughing and shortness of breath.

Ingestion

:
 

low toxicity material may cause serious irritation of the mucous membrane due to heat of hydrolysis. Large amounts can cause gastrointestinal upset, vomiting, abdominal pain.

Skin

:
 

Solid may cause mild irritation on dry skin ; strong solutions or solid in contact with moist skin may cause severe irritation, even burns.

Eye

:
 

Hazard may be either mechanical abrasion or, more serious, burns from heat of hydrolysis and chloride irritation.

Keep away from heat and ignition sources. May be harmful if swallowed. Avoid breathing vapors or dust. Use with adequate ventilation. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothes. Wash thoroughly after handling. Keep container closed.
FIRST AID:

SKIN

:

wipe off excess material from skin then immediately flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Get medical attention. Wash clothing before reuse. Thoroughly clean shoes before reuse.

EYES

:
 

immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, lifting lower and upper eyelids occasionally, get medical attention immediately.

INHALATION

:
 

remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical attention.

INGESTION

:
 

Induce vomiting immediately as directed by medical personnel. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical attention.

NOTE TO PHYSICIAN:

:

oral ingestion may cause serum acidosis.

FLASH POINT: N.D.
(TAGLIABUE CLOSED CUP)
LOWER EXPLOSIVE LIMIT: N.D.
UPPER EXPLOSIVE LIMIT: N.D.
FIRE:   Not considered to be a fire hazard.

EXPLOSION:Not considered to be an explosive hazard.

EXTINGUISHING MEDIA:
use any means suitable for extinguishing surrounding fire.

SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES:
As in any fire, wear a self-contained breathing apparatus pressure-demand (MSHA/NIOSH approved or equivalent) and full protective gear. At high temperatures or when moistened under fire conditions, calcium chloride may produce toxic irritating fumes.

 STEPS

TO BE TAKEN IN CASE MATERIAL IS RELEASED OR SPILLED:
Ventilate area of leak or spill. Wear personal protective equipment as specified in section 8. Spills: sweep up and containerize for reclamation or disposal. Vacuuming or wet sweeping may be used to avoid dust dispersal. Small amounts of residue may be flushed to sewer with plenty of water.

 HANDLING:
 Handle all chemicals with care.

STORAGE:
keep in a tightly closed container, stored in a cool, dry, ventilated area. Protect against physical damage. Moist calcium chloride and concentrated solutions can corrode steel. When exposed to the atmosphere, calcium chloride will absorb water and form a solution. Containers of this this material may be hazardous when empty since they retain product residues (dust, solids); observe all warnings and precautions listed for the product.

ENGINEERING CONTROLS: 
Local exhaust ventilation may be necessary to control any air contaminants to within their exposure limits. Local exhaust ventilation is generally preferred because it controls the emissions of the contaminants at its source, preventing dispersion of it into general work area. Please refer to the ACGIH document’ “INDUSTRIAL VENTILATION. A manual of recommended practices” Most recent edition, for details.

RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: 
for conditions of use where exposure to dust or mist is apparent and engineering controls are not feasible, a particulate respirator (NIOSH TYPE N95 OR BETTER FILTERS) may be worn. If oil particles (E.G. lubricants, cutting fluids, glycerine, etc.) are present, use a NIOSH type R or P filters. For emergencies or instances where the exposure levels are not known, use a full- face positive-pressure, air-supplied respirator. WARNING: Air –purifying respirators do not protect workers in oxygen-deficient atmospheres.   

SKIN PROTECTION: When contact is likely wear chemical resistant gloves, clean body-covering clothing and boots.

EYE PROTECTION:
Wear safety glasses with side shields or goggles and or full face shield where dusting or splashing of solutions is possible. Maintain eye wash fountain and quick-drench facilities in work area.

EYE PROTECTION: Wear safety glasses with side shields or goggles and or full face shield where dusting or splashing of solutions is possible. Maintain eye wash fountain and quick-drench facilities in work area.

OTHER PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT: 
Maintain good housekeeping in work area. Dust deposits on floors and other surfaces may pick up moisture and cause the surfaces to become slippery and present safety hazard.

HYGIENIC PRACTICES:
Wash hands before eating. Use only with adequate ventilation. Remove contaminated clothing and wash before reuse
