SECTION IV – FIRE AND EXPLOSION DATA
NFPA DESIGNATION:
Health 3 (Serious)
Fire:
0 (Insignificant)
Reactivity: 2 (Moderate)
This product is nonflammable; therefore, Flash Point, Auto ignition, Temperature, and Explosion Limits are Not Applicable.
FIRE EXTINGUISHING MATERIALS:
Extinguishing agent for material that is burning.
FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURE:
Pressure demand, self-contained respiratory equipment.
UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS: Hydrogen Chloride itself is not flammable. There is, however, a latent
fire or explosion hazard when in contact with metal due to the generation of hydrogen gas.
SECTION V – HEALTH HAZARD DATA
Skin and Eye Contact
INHALATION:
Irritant
SKIN CONTACT:
Irritant
EYE CONTACT:
Burns and Irritant
INGESTION:
Burns and Irritant
ACUTE/CHRONIC EXPOSURE Muriatic Acid is a corrosive irritant to the Eyes and Skin. Eye or Skin contact can cause
severe burns which can result in blindness.
PERMISSIBLE EXPOSURE LIMITS AND THRESHOLD LIMIT VALUE:
None established for this product.
PRIMARY ROUTES OF EXPOSURE:
SYMPTOMS OF OVEREXPOSURE:
Muriatic Acid mists or vapor are severely irritating to the Respiratory Tract and Mucous Membranes. Inhalation of sufficiently
High concentrations may result in laryngeal spasms, laryngeal edema or rapidly developing pulmonary edema. Mists may also
cause bleeding of the nose and gums, ulceration of the digestive tract and may be fatal.
FIRST AID MEASURES
INHALATION:
Remove from exposure. If symptoms persist, contact medical personnel.
SKIN:
Immediately flush skin with water while removing contaminated clothing. A mild alkaline (dish
soap) solution may be used to neutralize the acid. If symptoms persist, contact medical personnel.
EYES:
Immediately flush eye with water for at least 15 minutes, holding eyelids apart to ensure thorough
rinsing. Simultaneously contact medical personnel. Avoid use of topical steroids and/or
anesthetics.
INGESTION:
Give a quart of milk/water to drink. DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. Take immediately to
hospital. Avoid use of carbonates and bicarbonates as they release C 02 which may cause gastric
tension and/or rupture. Neutralization of the acid may be accomplished by using milk of magnesia.
Avoid use of aspirin. Subsequent treatment should be symptomatic and supportive.
TOXICITY DATA:
CARCINOGENICITY: This material is not considered to be a carcinogen by the National
Toxicology Program, the International Agency for research on Cancer or the Occupational Safety
and Health Administration.

SECTION VI – REACTIVITY DATA
Stable.
Will not occur
Heat, Open Flame
Metals, Strong Alkali
Hydrogen forms if acid come into contact with metals.
SECTION VII – SPILL, LEAK AND DISPOSAL PROCEDURES
Comply with all applicable governmental regulations on spill reporting, handling and disposal of waste.
SPILL AND WASTE DISPOSAL PROCEDURES: Small quantities may be flushed to sewer with copious amounts of water.
Large spills should be neutralized cautiously with soda ash, then flushed
with copious amounts of water.
SECTION VIII – PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT TO BE USED
Suitable protective clothing, gloves and footwear should be selected with regard for use, conditions and exposure potential.
Have access to water. Follow good industrial hygiene and safety practices as with any industrial chemical.
EYE PROTECTION:
Chemical goggles good practice if splashing conditions exist.
GLOVES:
Impervious gloves recommended if contact is prolonged.
VENTILATION:
No special precautions under normal use. Local exhaust capable of minimizing dust/vapor/mist
emissions at point of use below lowest TLV/PEL.
RESPIRATORY:
If use conditions generate dust/vapors/mists, wear a NIOSH approved respirator appropriate for
those emission levels.
OTHER CLOTHING AND EQUIPMENT: None likely to be needed.
SECTION IX – SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS OR OTHER COMMENTS
