FLAMMABLE LIMITS:
N/A
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Carbon dioxide, water spray, or dry chemical.
SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES: Fire fighters should wear protective clothing including self-contained
breathing apparatus. Use water spray to cool nearby containers and structures exposed to fire. Muriatic Acid – Exposure to
heat may increase concentration of hydrogen chloride vapors.
UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS: Muriatic Acid – Will react with most metals to release flammable
hydrogen gas which may accumulate in closed containers.
Section V – Health Hazard Data
EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE:
AIRBORNE EXPOSURE LIMITS: For undiluted MCA-SOL: -OSHA Permissible Exposure Unit (PEL):
1mg/m3 (TWA) –ACGIH Threshold Unit Value (TLV): 1 mg/m3 (TWA), 3 mg/m3 (STEL), A2 – suspected
human carcinogen for undiluted MCA-SOL contained in strong inorganic mists.
PRIMARY ROUTES OF ENTRY: Inhalation, swallowing, skin contact, and eye contact.
ACUTE: Muriatic Acid: Vapors, mists and liquid extremely corrosive to nose, throat, mucous membranes, eyes, skin, tissue,
and mouth. Brief to prolonged contact may result in bronchitis, pulmonary edema, chemical pneumonitis, irritation,
coughing, chest pain tissue damage, permanent eye injury, blindness, tissue burns, abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting,
collapse and possible death. Manganese Sulfate: Dusts may irritate eyes, skin, and respiratory tract. Swallowing the dusts or
solid may cause nausea, vomiting and gastrointestinal disturbances.
CHRONIC: Muriatic Acid: May result in areas of destruction of skin tissues or primary irritant dermatitis. Similarly,
inhalation of vapors or mists may cause varying degrees of damage to the affected tissues and also increase susceptibility to
respiratory illness. Manganese Sulfate: Chronic manganese poisoning can result from excessive inhalation exposure to
manganese dust and involves impairment of the central nervous system. Early symptoms include sluggishness, sleepiness and
weakness in the legs. Advanced cases have shown fixed facial expression, spastic gait and falling.
EMERGENCY AND FIRST AID PROCEDURES:
INHALATION: Remove victim to fresh air. Give artificial respiration if not breathing, but never to an
unconscious or convulsing person. Get prompt medical attention.
EYE CONTACT: Immediately flush eyes for 30 minutes while holding eyelids open. Get immediate
medical attention.
SKIN CONTACT: Remove contaminated clothing and shoes; wash before reuse. Immediately flush skin
with plenty of water for 30 minutes. Get medical attention for irritation and burns.
INDESTION: If conscious, give lots of water. Do not give anything by mouth to an unconscious or
convulsing person. Get medical attention.

SECTION VI – REACTIVITY DATA
STABILITY: Stable under ordinary conditions of use and storage.
HAZARDOUS POLYMERIZATION: Will not occur.
CONDITIONS TO AVOID: Excessive heat (>100°C) and incompatibles.
INCOMPATIBILITY (MATERIALS TO AVOID): Potassium chlorate, potassium perchlorate, potassium permanganate,
sodium, lithium, bases, organic material, halogens, metal acetylides,
oxides and hydrides, metals (yields hydrogen gas), strong oxidizing and
reducing agents and many other reactive substances.
HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS:
Reacts with carbonates to generate carbon dioxide gas, and with
cyanides and sulfides to form poisonous hydrogen cyanide and
hydrogen sulfide respectively.
SECTION VII – SPILL OR LEAK PROCEDURES
STEPS TO BE TAKEN IN CASE MATERIAL IS RELEASED OR SPILLED: Personnel with proper protective equipment
should contain spill. For small spills or drips, mop or wipe up and dispose of in DOT-approved waste containers. For large
spills, contain by diking with soil or other absorbent material and carefully neutralize with soda ash and lime. If soda ash is
used, provide adequate ventilation to dissipate carbon dioxide gas. Keep non-neutralized material out of sewers, storm drains,
surface waters and soil.
WASTE DISPOSAL METHOD: Disposal is to be in accordance with all federal, state and local regulations.
SECTION VIII – SPECIAL PROTECTION INFORMATION
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: NIOSH – Approved respirator.
VENTILATION: Local exhaust as required to maintain vapor concentrations below permissible limits.
PROTECTIVE GLOVES: Rubber gloves with gauntlets.
EYE PROTECTION: Chemical splash goggle and full face shield.
OTHER PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT: Acid Suit, safety shower, and eye wash fountain.
SECTION IX – TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
TOXICOLOGICAL DATA: Oral rat LD50: 2140 mg/kg; inhalation rat LC50: 510 mg/m3/2H; standard Draize, eye rabbit,
250 µg (severe); investigated as a tumorigen, mutagen, reproductive effector (0.1N solution).
CARCINOGENICITY: Cancer Status: The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has classified “strong
inorganic acid mists” as a known human carcinogen, (IARC category 1).
SECTION X – ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
ENVIRONMENTAL FATE: When released into the soil, this undiluted MCA-SOL may leach into groundwater. When
released into the air, this material may be removed from the atmosphere to a moderate extent by dry deposition.
ENVIRONMENTAL TOXITY: This undiluted MCA-SOL may be toxic to aquatic life.

SECTION – SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS
PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN IN HANDLING AND STORAGE: Store in a cool, dry, and well ventilated area. Vent
container carefully, as needed, to relieve pressure. Keep container tightly closed when not in use. Do not use pressure to
empty container.
OTHER PRECAUTIONS: Wash thoroughly after handling. Do not get in eyes, on skin or clothing. Avoid breathing
vapors. Keep containers closed. Use with adequate ventilation. DANGER!! CAUSES SEVERE BURNS TO SKIN AND
EYES.
REACTS VIOLENTLY WITH STRONG ALKALI.
HARMFUL IF INHALED.
