SECTION 4— First Aid Measures
Description of First Aid Measures
Eye Contact:Immediately flush eyes for 15 minutes with large amounts of water while holding eyelids
apart. Washing within one minute is essential to achieve maximum effectiveness. Obtain medical
attention IMMEDIATELY after flushing.
Skin Contact: Flush skin with water for at least 15 minutes. Remove contaminated clothing;wash before
reuse.If irritation is still present,seek medical attention IMMEDIATELY.
Inhalation: Remove to fresh air.If not breathing, give artificial respiration.If breathing is difficult,give oxygen.
Obtain medical attention IMMEDIATELY.
Ingestion:DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING.Give 1 or 2 glasses of water or milk.Never give anything by mouth to an
unconscious individual.Obtain medical attention IMMEDIATELY.
Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed
Harmful if swallowed,toxic in contact with skin.Causes severe skin burns and eye damage.
SECTION 5 — Fire Fighting Measures
Flash Point:Not applicable.
Upper/Lower Explosion Limits in Air: Not applicable.
Auto Ignition Temperature: Not applicable.
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Will not burn; use materials appropriate for surrounding fire. Do not get
water inside containers. Do not apply water stream directly at source of leak. Do not use a heavy water
stream.A direct water stream will cause violent splattering and generation of heat.
Unsuitable Extinguishing Media:Water jets are not recommended in fires involving chemicals.
Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture: Hydrogen fluoride silicon oxides Not combustible.
Ambient fire may liberate hazardous vapours.
Fire and Explosion Hazards: Not flammable. Under conditions of fire this material may produce: silicon
oxides; hydrogen fluoride;tetrafluorosilane. Decomposes above 108 °C(227 °F)
Protective Equipment and Precautions for Firefighters: Firefighters should wear proper protective
equipment and self-contained breathing apparatus with full face-piece operated in a positive pressure
mode.Move exposed containers from fire area if it can be done without risk.Use water to keep fire-exposed
containers and tanks cool. Do not allow run-off from fire fighting to enter drains or water courses.
Hazardous Product of Decomposition or Combustion:Unknown.

SECTION 6—Accidental Release Measures
Personal Precautions:Review safety precautions before proceeding with cleanup.Use appropriate personal
protection equipment.Do not touch spilled material.Soak spills up with acid compatible absorbent material
because neutralizing can lead to an exothermic reaction that will generate vapors. Restrict access to area
until completion of clean up.
Caution:Ventilation should be provided in enclosed areas.Dike area around spill to prevent spreading,and
use absorbent material to pick up spill.
Environmental Precautions: Prevent material from entering waterways, sewers or confined spaces. Notify
local health and wildlife officials. Notify operators of nearby water intakes.
Methods and Materials for Containment and Cleaning Up: Notify the appropriate environmental
authorities. Note that spills may need to be reported to the National Response Center((800)424-8802)
SECTION 7 — Handling and Storage
Precautions for Safe Handling
Handling:Avoid all eyes and skin contact and avoid creating or breathing vapor and mist.Vapor and mist can be
created by exceeding boiling point(277°F).Wear recommended personal protective equipment. Ensure there is
adequate ventilation,such as outdoors. Keep away from heat and open flame. Employ good maintenance
practices to prevent leaks. Use good process control measures to prevent releases. Handle in accordance with
good industrial hygiene and safety practice.Avoid contact with skin,eyes,and clothing. Do not eat,drink, or
smoke when using this product.
Storage: Reacts with many metals to produce flammable and explosive hydrogen gas. Keep away from
strong acids and bases, chlorites, organic peroxides, combustible materials, and metals. Store in dry, cool
area.Store in a well-ventilated place away from heat and sources of ignition. Large tanks should be bermed
and electrically grounded.Avoid using glass, metal, or stoneware containers. Empty containers may contain
hazardous residues. Protect label and keep it visible. Do not transfer to metal containers.
