ATS Type 1 Electro-Lyte

Remove to fresh air. If victim is unconscious give artificial respiration. Get medical aid.

Symptoms: Vapour or mist may irritate respiratory tract. Continuous inhalation of vapour over several hours gives mild symptoms of azide poisoning. Inhalation of mist could have severe effects similar to ingestion. Shortness of breath.

Wash thoroughly with water, then with soap and water. Get medical aid. Remove contaminated clothing. Wash clothing before re-use.

Symptoms: Irritation. Absorption through skin causes azide poisoning, which typically begins with bloodshot eyes, then leads progressively to headache, dizziness, nausea and collapse.

Irrigate with water (remove contact lenses) for at least 15 minutes. Get medical aid immediately.

Symptoms: Irritation, bloodshot eyes, blurred vision.

Get medical aid immediately. Call a poison centre. Do not give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. If victim is conscious, rinse the mouth with water.

Symptoms: Headache, nausea, vomiting, convulsion, collapse.

Dry chemical or Class D.

Water, standard foam, carbon dioxide. Under combustion conditions water may react with sodium azide to produce explosive hydrogen and/or toxic hydrogen azide gas.

Temperature above 60 °C below ca. 150 °C – slow decomposition to nitrogen. Temperature above 150 °C - evaporation of water, dimethyl sulphoxide and ethylene glycol, then rapid smooth decomposition of dry material to give toxic fumes.

Maintain good ventilation. In the event of acidification of the ATS Type 1 Electro-Lyte a NIOSH or EN approved self-contained breathing apparatus is required to prevent poisoning by hydrogen azide gas [TLV = 0.1 ppm(vol)].

Avoid discharge into drains, surface and ground water.

Absorb in non-combustible porous medium [e.g. Vermiculite, Chemizorb®] with a mild alkali e.g. sodium bicarbonate or carbonate [i.e. baking or washing soda].

Materials: non-combustible porous medium [e.g. Vermiculite, Chemizorb®], mild alkali e.g. sodium bicarbonate or carbonate [i.e. baking or washing soda]

Do not puncture or tamper with the ATS luber units. In the event of a leak of the ATS Type 1 Electro-Lyte gel or liquid: Wear protective clothing (gloves, coveralls, goggles). Avoid personal contact with the Electro-Lyte. Avoid contact of the Electro-Lyte with acids, heavy metals and their salts. Absorb into a non-combustible material with a mild alkali (e.g. baking soda). Dispose as a hazardous waste.

Store the ATS luber units in general warehouse at temperature below 40 °C.

Do not eat, drink or smoke in work areas. Wash hands after use. Remove contaminated clothing and protective equipment before entering eating areas.

Maintain good ventilation (e.g. 10 turnovers/hour). Avoid formation of dust, mist or vapour.

gloves - nitrile rubber

Chemical safety goggles or full face shield.

An air-purifying chemical cartridge respirator is adequate for most conditions. CAUTION. In the event of acidification of the ATS Type 1 Electro-Lyte a NIOSH or EN approved self-contained breathing apparatus is required to prevent poisoning by toxic hydrogen azide gas [TLV = 0.1 ppm(vol)].

Apron or coveralls, chemical-resistant foot-ware.

Stable under normal ambient conditions.

Reacts with acids to form toxic hydrogen azide gas (TLV = 0.1 ppmV). Reacts with heavy metals (e.g. Cu,Pb,Hg,Ag,Au) as well as their alloys (e.g. brass, solder) and rapidly with their salts to form explosive metal azides. Reacts with strong oxidants, hypochlorites, chlorinated solvents, carbon disulphide, acyl/arly halides and metal alkoxides.

Reacts with acids to form toxic hydrogen azide gas (TLV = 0.1 ppmV). Hydrogen azide is rapidly released at pH below about 5 at 20 °C. Reacts slowly with heavy metals (e.g. Cu,Pb,Hg,Ag,Au) as well as their alloys (e.g. brass, solder) and rapidly with their salts to form explosive metal azides. Reaction with strong oxidants may produce violent gas evolution. Reactions with hypochlorites, chlorinated solvents, carbon disulphide, acyl/aryl halides and metal alkoxides can produce dangerously unstable products.

Temperatures above 100 °C. Contact with acids. Contamination by heavy metals (e.g. Cu,Pb,Hg,Ag,Au) or their salts. Contact with strong oxidants, hypochlorites, chlorinated solvents, carbon disulphide, acyl/aryl halides and metal alkoxides.

Acids, heavy metals (e.g. Cu,Pb,Hg,Ag,Au) their alloys and compounds, brass solder, aluminium, strong oxidants, chlorinated solvents, carbon disulphide, acyl/aryl halides and metal alkoxides.

Oxidative decomposition above about 150 °C gives sulphur dioxide, nitrogen oxide, formaldehyde, methyl mercaptan, carbon monoxide, hydrogen cyanide, hydrogen iodide, sodium and potassium oxides.

Absorb in a non-combustible porous medium [e.g. Vermiculite, Chemizorb®] with a mild alkali e.g. sodium bicarbonate or carbonate (i.e. baking or washing soda).

Treat as a hazardous waste.
