GLACIAL ACETIC ACID, USP

Move to fresh air. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. Do not use mouth-to-mouth resuscitation if victim ingested or inhaled the substance; induce artificial respiration with the aid of a pocket mask equipped with a one-way valve or other proper respiratory medical device. Immediate medical attention is required. Call a physician immediately.

Symptoms: Irritating to respiratory system. May cause bronchitis. May cause build-up of fluid in the lungs (pulmonary edema). Dyspnea (Shortness of breath and difficulty breathing). Coughing and wheezing. Sneezing.

Wash off immediately with soap and plenty of water. Continue flushing with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Remove all contaminated clothes and shoes. Immediate medical attention is required. Call a physician immediately.

Symptoms: Severe skin and eye irritation or burns.

Flush eyes with water for 15 minutes. Immediate medical attention is required. Call a physician immediately.

Symptoms: Severe skin and eye irritation or burns.

Do not induce vomiting without medical advice. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. If victim is conscious, give water or milk. Immediate medical attention is required. Call a physician or Poison Control Center immediately.

Symptoms: May cause abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea. Burning sensation in the mouth and stomach. Can burn mouth, throat, and stomach. Thirst. May cause central nervous system effects. Convulsions. Blackening and erosion of teeth.

Carbon dioxide (CO2). Dry chemical. Alcohol-resistant foam. Water spray.

Do not use a solid (straight) water stream as it may scatter and spread fire.

Flammable. May be ignited by heat, sparks or flames. Vapor may travel considerable distance to source of ignition and flash back. Vapors may form explosive mixtures with air. Most vapors are heavier than air. They will spread along the ground and collect in low or confined areas (sewers, basements, tanks). Container explosion may occur under fire conditions or when heated. Fire may produce irritating, corrosive and/or toxic gases.

Water mist may be used to cool closed containers. For larger fires, use water spray or fog. Cool containers with flooding quantities of water until well after fire is out.

Ensure adequate ventilation. Keep people away from and upwind of spill/leak. Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing. Use personal protective equipment. Remove all sources of ignition. Pay attention to flashback. Take precautionary measures against static discharges. All equipment used when handling the product must be grounded. Use spark-proof tools and explosion-proof equipment. In case of large spill, water spray or vapor suppressing foam may be used to reduce vapors, but may not prevent ignition in closed spaces.

In case of large spill, water spray or vapor suppressing foam may be used to reduce vapors, but may not prevent ignition in closed spaces. Dike if needed. Dike far ahead of liquid spill for later disposal.

Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. Do not let product enter drains. Prevent entry into waterways, sewers, basements or confined areas. In case of large spill, dike if needed. Dike far ahead of liquid spill for later disposal.

Neutralize with Sodium carbonate or Sodium bicarbonate. Dilute with water. Absorb spill with inert material (e.g. vermiculite, dry sand or earth), then place in a suitable chemical waste container. Use appropriate tools to put the spilled material in a suitable chemical waste disposal container. Use only non-sparking tools. Clean contaminated surface thoroughly.

Materials: Sodium carbonate, Sodium bicarbonate, inert material (e.g. vermiculite, dry sand or earth)

Wear personal protective equipment. Use only in well-ventilated areas. Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing. Keep away from heat and sources of ignition. Do not breathe vapors or spray mist. Do not ingest. When using do not smoke. Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice.

Keep containers tightly closed in a dry, cool and well-ventilated place. Store at room temperature in the original container. Keep away from heat and sources of ignition. Store in a segregated and approved area. Store away from incompatible materials.

Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice.

Remove all sources of ignition. To avoid ignition of vapors by static electricity discharge, all metal parts of the equipment must be grounded. Keep away from heat and sources of ignition.

Stable under recommended storage conditions.

Reacts violently with strong oxidizing agents, acetaldehyde, and acetic anhydride. It can react with metals, strong bases, amines, carbonates, hydroxides, phosphates, many oxides, cyanides, sulfides, chromic acid, nitric acid, hydrogen peroxide, carbonates, ammonium nitrate, ammonium thiosulfate, chlorine trifluoride, chlorosulfonic acid, perchloric acid, permanganates, xylene, oleum, potassium hydroxide, sodium hydroxide, phosphorus isocyanate, ethylenediamine, ethylene imine. Acetic acid vapors may form explosive mixtures with air. Reactions between acetic acid and the following materials are potentially explosive: 5-azidotetrazole, bromine pentafluoride, chromium trioxide, hydrogen peroxide, potassium permanganate, sodium peroxide, and phosphorus trichloride. Dilute acetic acid and dilute hydrogen can undergo an exothermic reaction if heated, forming peracetic acid which is explosive at 110 degrees C. Reaction between chlorine trifluoride and acetic acid is very violent, sometimes explosive.

Hazardous polymerization does not occur
