HSH EDTA 15% Solution

If fumes, aerosols or combustion products are inhaled remove from contaminated area. Other measures are usually unnecessary.

Immediately remove all contaminated clothing, including footwear. Flush skin and hair with running water (and soap if available). Seek medical attention in event of irritation.

Symptoms: irritation

If in eyes, hold eyelids apart and flush the eye continuously with running water. Continue flushing until advised to stop by the Poisons Information Centre or a doctor, or for at least 15 minutes. Ensure complete irrigation of the eye by keeping eyelids apart and away from eye and moving the eyelids by occasionally lifting the upper and lower lids. Seek medical attention without delay; if pain persists or recurs seek medical attention. Removal of contact lenses after an eye injury should only be undertaken by skilled personnel.

If swallowed do NOT induce vomiting. If vomiting occurs, lean patient forward or place on left side (head-down position, if possible) to maintain open airway and prevent aspiration. Observe the patient carefully. Never give liquid to a person showing signs of being sleepy or with reduced awareness; i.e. becoming unconscious. Give water to rinse out mouth, then provide liquid slowly and as much as casualty can comfortably drink. Seek medical advice. For advice, contact a Poisons Information Centre or a doctor.

Foam, Dry chemical powder, BCF (where regulations permit), Carbon dioxide, Water spray or fog- Large fires only.

Combustible. Slight fire hazard when exposed to heat or flame. Heating may cause expansion or decomposition leading to violent rupture of containers. On combustion, may emit toxic fumes of carbon monoxide (CO). May emit acrid smoke. Mists containing combustible materials may be explosive. May emit poisonous fumes. May emit corrosive fumes.

Alert Fire Brigade and tell them location and nature of hazard. Prevent, by any means available, spillage from entering drains or water courses. Use firefighting procedures suitable for surrounding area. DO NOT approach containers suspected to be hot. Cool fire exposed containers with water spray from a protected location. If safe to do so, remove containers from path of fire.

Minor Spills: Remove all ignition sources. Clean up all spills immediately. Avoid breathing vapours and contact with skin and eyes. Control personal contact with the substance, by using protective equipment. Contain and absorb spill with sand, earth, inert material, or vermiculite. Wipe up. Place in a suitable, labelled container for waste disposal. Large Spills: Clear area of personnel and move upwind. Alert Fire Brigade and tell them location and nature of hazard. Stop leak if safe to do so. Contain spill with sand, earth, or vermiculite. Collect recoverable product into labelled containers for recycling. Absorb remaining product with sand, earth or vermiculite. Collect solid residues and seal in labelled drums for disposal. Wash area and prevent runoff into drains.

Clear area of personnel and move upwind. Alert Fire Brigade and tell them location and nature of hazard. Wear breathing apparatus plus protective gloves. Prevent, by any means available, spillage from entering drains or water course. Stop leak if safe to do so. No smoking, naked lights or ignition sources.

Materials: sand, earth, inert material, or vermiculite

Wear protective clothing when risk of exposure occurs. Avoid smoking, naked lights or ignition sources. Avoid contact with incompatible materials. When handling, DO NOT eat, drink or smoke. Keep containers securely sealed when not in use. Always wash hands with soap and water after handling. Use good occupational work practice. Observe manufacturer's storage and handling recommendations contained within this SDS. DO NOT allow clothing wet with material to stay in contact with skin

Store in original containers. Keep containers securely sealed. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area. Store away from incompatible materials and foodstuff containers. Protect containers against physical damage and check regularly for leaks.

When handling, DO NOT eat, drink or smoke. Always wash hands with soap and water after handling.

Avoid smoking, naked lights or ignition sources.

Wear chemical protective gloves, e.g. PVC. Contaminated gloves should be replaced. Selection depends on material and quality. Thinner gloves (down to 0.1 mm or less) may be required for dexterity; thicker gloves (up to 3 mm or more) may be required for mechanical and chemical risk. As defined in ASTM F-739-96.

Chemical goggles. Full face shield may be required for supplementary but never for primary protection of eyes. Contact lenses may pose a special hazard; soft contact lenses may absorb and concentrate irritants. [AS/NZS 1336 or national equivalent]

Overalls. PVC Apron. PVC protective suit may be required if exposure severe. When handling corrosive liquids, wear trousers or overalls outside of boots, to avoid spills entering boots.

Unstable in the presence of incompatible materials. Product is considered stable.
