3. Summary of hazard

Classification of hazard: Class 4.2 self-fire hazard product

Going into way: Breathe in and have it.
Hazard to one’s health: The product is stimulus to one’s eyes, respirator tract and skin. Long
contact is strong stimulus to one’s skin and eyes; The intestines and stomach will be strong
stimulus after a large quantity of it has been taken.
Environment Hazard: When the product has been resolved and released SO 2, therefore it has a
certain hazard to environment.
Fire and explosion Hazard: When 250℃, the product can self-fire. Whenever strong reaction
meeting with oxidizer and leading to fire and explosion; Resolving and producing whenever it
meeting with a little quantity of and exposing in damp air and leading to smoking and fire even
though explosion.
UN No. : 3342
Package: Drum/ Bag/ Plywood

4. First aid methods

Skin contacted: Taking off polluted clothes and completely spraying by soapsuds and clean
water.
Eyes contacted: The eyelid must be lift up at once, and completely spraying by a large quantity of
clean water or physiological saline at least 15 minutes. Going to see doctor.
Breath in : Fast leaving the for fresh air place and keeping smoothly breath in and out．If breath is
difficult, the oxygen must be inhale. If no breath, the artificial breathing must be carried out at
once and going to see doctor.

5. Fire-fighting methods

Dangerous characteristics: Strong reducing agent, when 250℃ it can be self-fire, leading to fire
when heated or meeting with visible fire. The quality of it will be oxidized and went bad. When it
is exposed in air. Releasing a large quantity of heat and leading to strong fire even though
releasing SO2 noxious gas whenever it meeting with water, acid, organic matter and oxidizer.
Hazardous fired products: CO2, SO2
The way of putting out a fire and fire-extinguishing agent: The polluted area must be separated
from the other place. Trying one’s best to separate the fired from not the fired , and fast putting out
a fire by spraying of a large quantity of water(Because the any kinds of fire-extinguishing agent
can be only put out a fire on the surface, can’t be stopped resolved and the self-fire is still going
on inside. Can be only used enough water to make it dissolve in order to completely put out a
fire).The source of drinking water and farmland must be prevented spraying water from polluting.
Meanwhile checking the rest of packing drum, to feel heat or the cover of drum has been
expanded to upside when they are heated, and fast moving them to ventilated place and let them
cooling.
Fire-extinguishing agent: a large quantity of water
Pay attention to putting out a fire: Fire fighter must wear well fire-fighting clothes and gas
mask (No.7 yellow poison filtering tank) or normal pressure self-supplying respirator, stand
upside of wind direction to put out a fire. When moving the packing drum, must pay attention to
prevent breaking cover from harming to people.

6. Emergency treatment of leakage

Emergency treatment: Fast withdrawing the people in leakage polluted area to safety area, and
separate them from others, strictly limit them in and out. Proposing emergency treatment people
wearing self-supplying respirator and fire-fighting protective clothes. Don’t directly touch leaking
matters. The treatment of leaking matters: Avoid raising a dust and put it into dry, clean and
container with cover by cleaning shovel or pouring it into a large quantity of water and treating it
and after it dissolving and diluting. To the damp leaking matters can be submerged by a large
quantity of water and then spraying by water. The source of drinking water and farmland etc. must
be prevented spraying water from polluting.

7. Operating treatment and store

Pay attention to operation: No smoking ; When operating must wear protective clothes, gloves
and protective glasses; If there are over-quantity dust in the working site, must wear dustproof
mask of self-breathing in and out style of filtering. If necessary, must wear self-breathing in and
out respirator or gas mask (No. 7 yellow poison filtering tank).
Pay attention to store: Must be stored in cool, dry and good ventilating storage. Keep far away
from fire and heating source. There are under 75% of relative humidity must be kept in the
storage. Prevent sunlight from directly shining it. Keep container sealed. Don’t let water and water
steam meeting with it. And don’t put it with oxidizers or the other inflammables mix together,
handle with care of transportation, loading and unloading and prevent package and container from
damping. The dry powder fire extinguisher, claw and hook of fire-fighting and certain quantity of
gas mask (No. 7 yellow poison filtering tank) should be prepared for the storage according to the
rules.
8. Contact control/personal protection

The highest allowed concentration: mg/m3 The standard have not been made by all states.
Monitoring methods:
Engineering control: The process of manufacture must be kept airtight, only local exhaust. The
safety shower and eye washing equipment should be supplied. If necessary,
wear self-supplying respirator.
Eye protection: Wear safety protective glasses.
Body protection: Wear chemical protective clothes.
Hand protection: Wear emulsion gloves.
The other protection: No smoking, eating and drinking water in working site. Showering and
changing clothes after working. Pay attention to personal hygiene.
