Green Air Products Genesis pH Lower MSDS - Manual (Page 2)

SECTION 5 - FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
FLAMMABILITY: Non-flammable. Not a fire hazard.
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Use media suitable to extinguish source of fire.
Firefighters should wear self contained breathing
apparatus and full protective clothing when fighting fire if
mists from fire are encountered.
HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION MATERIALS: High temperatures will liberate phosphorus oxides
SECTION 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
In case of accidental spill or release: Dike around spill for containment and recover for re-
processing. Small spills can be safely neutralized with
limestone or soda ash. Caustic soda should be avoided
because of excessive reactivity.
SECTION 7 - HANDLING AND STORAGE
HANDLING: Do not breathe vapor. Do not get in eyes, on skin, or on
clothing . Wear protective equipment as indicated. When
diluting, the acid should always be slowly poured into the
water.
STORAGE: Store in a cool, well-ventilated place away from sources of
heat, moisture or incompatible materials. Store away from
stronge alkaline materials. Protect from freezing. Corrosive to
steel and other metals.
SECTION 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROL/PERSONAL PROTECTION
ENGINEERING CONTROLS: Provide local and/or general exhaust ventilation to keep
exposure level below the OSHA standard. Local exhaust
ventilation is preferred because it can control the emissions of
the contaminants at its source, preventing its dispersion into
the general work area.
PERSONAL PROTECTION: Avoid skin and eye contact and inhalation of mist. Wear
overalls, safety glasses or goggles and face shield, chemical
resistant gloves, chemical suit and boots. Respiratory
protection is required if airborne concentration is high or
unknown. Use a respirator if there is a risk of inhaling mist
spray. Always wash hands before smoking, eating, drinking or
using the toilet.
