VERSENEX* 80 Chelating Agent

Move person to fresh air; if effects occur, consult a physician.

Symptoms: May cause asthma-like (reactive airways) symptoms.

Wash off with plenty of water.

Immediately flush eyes with water; remove contact lenses, if present, after the first 5 minutes, then continue flushing eyes for at least 15 minutes. Obtain medical attention without delay, preferably from an ophthalmologist. Suitable emergency eye wash facility should be immediately available.

Symptoms: Chemical eye burns.

Do not induce vomiting. Give one cup (8 ounces or 240 ml) of water or milk if available and transport to a medical facility. Do not give anything by mouth unless the person is fully conscious.

Symptoms: Swallowing may result in burns/ulceration of mouth, stomach and lower gastrointestinal tract with subsequent stricture.

To extinguish combustible residues of this product use water fog, carbon dioxide, dry chemical or foam.

This material will not burn until the water has evaporated. Residue can burn.

Keep people away. Isolate fire and deny unnecessary entry. To extinguish combustible residues of this product use water fog, carbon dioxide, dry chemical or foam.

Evacuate area. Keep upwind of spill. Ventilate area of leak or spill. Only trained and properly protected personnel must be involved in clean-up operations. Use appropriate safety equipment.

Absorb with materials such as: Non-combustible material. Collect in suitable and properly labeled containers.

Dike area to contain spill. Wash the spill site with water.

Prevent from entering into soil, ditches, sewers, waterways and/or groundwater.

Absorb with materials such as: Non-combustible material. Collect in suitable and properly labeled containers. Wash the spill site with water.

Materials: Non-combustible material.

Do not swallow. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Wash thoroughly after handling. Use with adequate ventilation. Keep container closed. Avoid breathing mist.

Do not store in: Opened or unlabeled containers. Zinc. Aluminum. Aluminum and its alloys. Copper. Copper alloys. Galvanized containers. Nickel. Store in accordance with good manufacturing practices. Store in original unopened container.

Wash thoroughly after handling.

Use engineering controls to maintain airborne level below exposure limit requirements or guidelines. If there are no applicable exposure limit requirements or guidelines, use only with adequate ventilation. Local exhaust ventilation may be necessary for some operations.

Use gloves chemically resistant to this material when prolonged or frequently repeated contact could occur. Use chemical resistant gloves classified under Standard EN374: Protective gloves against chemicals and micro-organisms. If hands are cut or scratched, use gloves chemically resistant to this material even for brief exposures. Examples of preferred glove barrier materials include: Butyl rubber. Natural rubber ("latex"). Neoprene. Nitrile/butadiene rubber ("nitrile" or "NBR"). Polyethylene. Ethyl vinyl alcohol laminate ("EVAL"). Polyvinyl chloride ("PVC" or "vinyl"). Avoid gloves made of: Polyvinyl alcohol ("PVA"). When prolonged or frequently repeated contact may occur, a glove with a protection class of 4 or higher (breakthrough time greater than 120 minutes according to EN 374) is recommended. When only brief contact is expected, a glove with a protection class of 1 or higher (breakthrough time greater than 10 minutes according to EN 374) is recommended. Glove thickness alone is not a good indicator of the level of protection a glove provides against a chemical substance as this level of protection is also highly dependent on the specific composition of the material that the glove is fabricated from. The thickness of the glove must, depending on model and type of material, generally be more than 0.35mm to offer sufficient protection for prolonged and frequent contact with the substance. As an exception to this general rule it is known that multilayer laminate gloves may offer prolonged protection at thicknesses less than 0.35mm. Other glove materials with a thickness of less than 0.35mm may offer sufficient protection when only brief contact is expected. NOTICE: The selection of a specific glove for a particular application and duration of use in a workplace should also take into account all relevant workplace factors such as, but not limited to: Other chemicals which may be handled, physical requirements (cut/puncture protection, dexterity, thermal protection), potential body reactions to glove materials, as well as the instructions/specifications provided by the glove supplier.

Use chemical goggles. Chemical goggles should be consistent with EN 166 or equivalent.

Respiratory protection should be worn when there is a potential to exceed the exposure limit requirements or guidelines. If there are no applicable exposure limit requirements or guidelines, wear respiratory protection when adverse effects, such as respiratory irritation or discomfort have been experienced, or where indicated by your risk assessment process. In misty atmospheres, use an approved particulate respirator. Use the following CE approved air-purifying respirator: Particulate filter, type P2.

Wear clean, body-covering clothing.

See SECTION 7: Handling and storage and SECTION 13: Disposal considerations for measures to prevent excessive environmental exposure during use and waste disposal.

Stable under recommended storage conditions. See Storage, Section 7.

Polymerization will not occur.

Some components of this product can decompose at elevated temperatures.

Avoid contact with metals such as: Aluminum alloys. Copper. Copper alloys. Nickel. Flammable hydrogen may be generated from contact with metals such as: Zinc. Aluminum.

Decomposition products depend upon temperature, air supply and the presence of other materials.

The definitive assignment of this material to the appropriate EWC group and thus its proper EWC code will depend on the use that is made of this material. Contact the authorized waste disposal services.
