SECTION 1 -CHEMICAL PRODUCT
Synonyms: Ammonium Peroxydisulfate
CAS#: 7727-54-0
DOT Hazard Class: Oxidizer UN 1444
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SECTION 2 -COMPOSITION AND INFORMATION ON INGREDIENTS
Ammonium Persulfate 99%
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SECTION 3 -HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW: White odorless crystals. Irritant to eyes,skin and respiratory system.
It is an oxidizer and will liberate oxygen to support and intensify fire. Keep away from reducing agents.
POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS:
Inhalation: May cause irritation or slight burning sensation to the respiratory tract.
Skin & Eyes: May cause irritation and redness.
Ingestion: Will cause discomfort.
Carcinogenicity: Not listed under OSHA,IARC, or NTP.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SECTION 4 -FIRST AID MEASURES
Eyes:Immediately flush with water for at least 15 minutes lifting upper and lower lids
Intermittently: See a physician.
Skin: Wash with large amounts of water,if irritation persists,obtain medical attention.
Inhalation: Remove subject to fresh air. If breathing difficulty occurs,call a physician.
Ingestion: If swallowed,drink 1 or 2 glasses of water and induce vomiting by touching the back of the throat with a finger or giving syrup of ipecac. Do not induce vomiting or give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.Call a physician.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SECTION 5 -FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Flash Point: Non combustible
Flammable Limits: Non-combustible
Extinguishing Media: Deluge with water.
Special Fire Fighting Procedures: Do not use carbon dioxide or other gas-filled fire extinguishers; they will have no effect on decomposing persulfates. Wear full protective clothing and self-contained breathing apparatus.
