First-aid measures

First aid measures:


General Information: In the case of accident or if you feel unwell, seek medical advice immediately (show the label where possible). Ensure that medical personnel are aware of the material(s) involved, and take precautions to protect themselves. Wash contaminated clothing before reuse.


 


Description of first aid measures:


- Inhalation:  Remove victim to fresh air and keep at rest in a position comfortable for breathing. For breathing difficulties, oxygen may be necessary. Get medical attention immediately.


- Skin contact: Take off immediately all contaminated clothing. (Caution: Solution may ignite certain textiles). Immediately flush skin with plenty of water. Get medical attention immediately. Wash contaminated clothing before reuse. Contact with skin may leave a brown stain of insoluble manganese dioxide. This can be easily removed by washing with a mixture of equal volume of household vinegar and 3 % hydrogen peroxide, followed by washing with soap and water.


- Eye contact: Immediately flush with plenty of water for up to 15 minutes. Remove any contact lenses and open eyelids wide apart. Continue rinsing. Get medical attention immediately.


- Ingestion: Immediately rinse mouth and drink plenty of water. Never give anything by mouth to a victim who is unconscious or is having convulsions. Do not induce vomiting. If vomiting occurs, keep head low so that stomach content doesn't get into the lungs. Get medical attention immediately.


 


Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed:


- Contact with this material will cause burns to the skin, eyes and mucous membranes. Permanent eye damage including blindness could result.


 


Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed:


- Provide general supportive measures and treat symptomatically. In case of shortness of breath, give oxygen. Decomposition products are alkaline. Brown stain is insoluble manganese dioxide.

Fire-fighting measures

General fire hazards:


- The product is not flammable. May intensify fire; oxidiser. May ignite combustibles (wood, paper, oil, clothing, etc.). Contact with incompatible materials or heat (135 °C / 275 °F) could result in violent exothermic chemical reaction.


 


Extinguishing media:


- Suitable extinguishing media: Flood with water from a distance, water spray or fog.


- Unsuitable extinguishing media: The following extinguishing media are ineffective: Dry chemical. Foam. Carbon dioxide (CO2). Halogenated materials.


 


Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture:


- Oxidizing agent, may cause spontaneous ignition of combustible materials. By heating and fire, corrosive vapours/gases may be formed.


 


Advice for firefighters:


- Special protective equipment for firefighters: Self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing must be worn in case of fire. Selection of respiratory protection for firefighting: follow the general fire precautions indicated in the workplace. Move containers from fire area if you can do it without risk.


- Special fire fighting procedures: Move container from fire area if it can be done without risk. Cool containers exposed to flames with water until well after the fire is out. Prevent runoff from fire control or dilution from entering streams, sewers or drinking water supply. Dike fire control water for later disposal. Water runoff can cause environmental damage.

Accidental release measures

Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures:


- For non-emergency personnel: Keep unnecessary personnel away. Do not touch damaged containers or spilled material unless wearing appropriate protective clothing. Avoid inhalation of vapours and contact with skin and eyes. Wear protective clothing. Local authorities should be advised if significant spillages cannot be contained.


- For emergency responders: Keep unnecessary personnel away. Use personal protection recommended.


 


Environmental precautions:


- Do not allow to enter drains, sewers or watercourses. Contact local authorities in case of spillage to drain/aquatic environment.


 


Methods and material for containment and cleaning up:


Keep combustibles (wood, paper, oil etc) away from spilled material. Should not be released into the environment. This product is miscible in water. Stop leak if possible without any risk. Dike the spilled material, where this is possible. Proceed with either of the following two options depending upon the size of the spill and the availability of the neutralising agents:


Option # 1: Dilute to approximately 6 % with water, and then reduce with sodium thiosulfate, a bisulfite or ferrous salt solution. The bisulfite or ferrous salt may require some dilute sulfuric acid (10 % w/w) to promote reduction. Neutralise with sodium carbonate to neutral pH, if acid was used. Decant or filter and deposit sludge in approved landfill. Where permitted, the sludge may be drained into sewer with large quantities of water.


Option # 2: Absorb with inert media like diatomaceous earth or inert floor dry, collect into a drum and dispose of properly. Do not use saw dust or other incompatible media. Disposal of all materials shall be in full and strict compliance with all federal, state, and local regulations pertaining to permanganates.


To clean contaminated floors, flush with abundant quantities of water into sewer, if permitted by federal, state, and local regulations. If not, collect water and treat as described above.


Never return spills in original containers for re-use.

Handling and storage

Precautions for safe handling:


- Take any precaution to avoid mixing with combustibles. Do not get this material in your eyes, on your skin, or on your clothing. Do not breathe mist or vapour. Use Personal Protective Equipment recommended in section 8 of the SDS. If clothing becomes contaminated, remove and wash off immediately. Spontaneous ignition may occur in contact with cloth or paper. When using, do not eat, drink or smoke. Good personal hygiene is necessary. Wash hands and contaminated areas with water and soap before leaving the work site. Avoid release to the environment.


 


Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities:


- Keep container tightly closed and in a well-ventilated place. Store in a cool, dry place. Store away from incompatible materials. Store locked up. Follow applicable local/national/international recommendations on storage of oxidisers.


 


Specific end use(s):


- Liquid oxidant recommended for applications that require a concentrated permanganate solution.
