MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET

To get familiar with Material Safety Data Sheets Session Objectives To get familiar with Material Safety Data Sheets To know how to properly find and use the MSDS

MSDS: Material Safety Data Sheet It requires for each chemical. It requires to operators, officers and chemist review. It must be accessible for everyone in the labs, shop floor, Stores, etc.

MSDS Location MSDS are required to be easily accessible by you at all times. Don’t necessarily have to be located in each lab (although it is a good idea) Ask your supervisor where they are located in your area.

MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET Information on Material Safety Data Sheet is organized in 16 Section as follows. Material Identity Composition / Information on Ingredient Physical & Chemical Data Fire and Explosion Hazard Data Stability and Reactivity Health Hazard Data / Toxicological Information First Aid Measures Fire Fighting Measures

MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET Accidental Release Measures Handling & Storage Exposure Control and Personal Protection Environmental / Ecological Information Disposal Consideration Transport Information Regulatory Information 16.Manufacturer / Suppliers Data

The MSDS includes following details Material Identity Name Synonyms Formula UN No. CAS No. ( Chemical Abstracts Service registry No.) - Unique number assigned to a specific chemical by the American Chemical Society and indexed in Chemical Abstracts published by Chemical Abstracts Service in the US. These nos. are used widely for accurate identification of materials and quick retrieval of their chemical and Safety information. Chemical Classification

Composition / information on Ingredient Ingredients Percentage

Physical & Chemical Data Appearance Odour pH Boiling Point Melting Point Physical State Vapour Pressure Vapour Density Specific Gravity

Fire and Explosion Data Flash Point - The lowest temperature at which the vapor above the liquid will ignite if an ignition source is present. Auto Ignition Temperature - The minimum temperature required to initiate or cause self-sustained combustion which is independent of a spark or flame source. Flammability Lower/ Upper Explosive Limit

Flammability Limits of flammability--Each flammable gas and liquid (in the form of a vapor) has two limits which define the range of concentrations in mixtures with air that will propagate flame and explode. •• LEL or Lower Explosive limit--The percent by volume concentration below which the mixture is too less to burn. •• UEL or Upper Explosive limit-- The percent by volume concentration above which the mixture is too rich to burn. •• The flammable range consists of all the concentrations between these two limits.

Stability and Reactivity Chemical Stability Chemical Compatibility Hazardous Reaction Products Reactivity

Health Hazard Data / Toxicological Information Routes of entry Effects of exposure TLV ( Threshold Limit Value) -The concentration of an airborne substance to which an average person can be repeatedly exposed without adverse effects for 8 Hrs.. STEL( Short Term Exposure Limit) – It is expressed as airborne concentration of substances average over a period of fifteen minutes. Workers should not be exposed at the STEL concentration continuously for longer than fifteen minutes, or for more than four such periods per working day. One hour gap must be there between two exposures. IDLH ( Immediately Danger to Life/ Health) - Air concentration at this level can cause death very quickly; can be caused by toxic chemicals, insufficient oxygen, or both.

Definition: LD50 LD50 (Lethal Dose50) is the amount of a substance that, when administered by a defined route of entry (e.g. oral or dermal) over a specified period of time, is expected to cause the death of 50 per cent of a defined animal population.

Definition: LC50 LC50 (Lethal Concentration50) is the amount of a substance in air that, when given by inhalation over a specified period of time, is expected to cause the death in 50 per cent of a defined animal population.

First Aid Measures Eyes Skin exposure Inhalation Ingestion

Fire Fighting Measures Extinguishing Media Special Fire Fighting Procedures

Accidental Release Procedure Spill or leak procedures

When a Spill Strikes ) Assess the risk Minor Spill, handled by personnel within lab or department. Minor spills should be cleaned-up at the time of the spill. Major Spill, isolate area. Major spills may require special treatment, equipment or emergency assistance.

When a Spill Strikes Consult MSDS and other literature sources Select personal protective equipment (PPE) such as rubber gloves and goggles. Consult MSDS and other literature sources Limit the spill area by blocking, diverting, or confining spill Use absorbents, drain plugs, dikes. Stop the Source if possible. Decontaminate site, personnel, & equipment by removing or neutralizing the hazardous materials

Handling & Storage Minimum / Maximum storage temperature Handling Ventilation Storage

Exposure Control and Personal Protection Ingestion Eye Contact Skin Contact Respiratory Protection Engineering Controls

Environmental / Ecological Information Eco – acute toxicity Environmental fate

Disposal Information Provide guidance for disposal, incineration of the material at facility that complies with local state and Federal regulations

Transport Information Proper Shipping Name Hazard class UN No. Special Information Packing group

Hazard Classifications Class 1 – Explosives Class 2 - Gases

Hazard Classifications Class 3 – Flammable Liquids (and Combustible Liquids) Class 4 – Flammable Solids; Spontaneously Combustible Materials; Dangerous When Wet Materials

Hazard Classifications Class 5 – Oxidizers and Organic Peroxides Class 6 – Toxic Materials and Infectious Substances

Hazard Classifications Class 7 – Radioactive Materials Class 8 – Corrosive Materials

Hazard Classifications Class 9 – Miscellaneous Dangerous Goods

Packing Groups Packing Group LD 50 Value Three categories of packaging The Packing Group (PG) is based on the hazard(s) of the product LD 50 Value Packing Group I - Great danger ( <= 5) Packing Group II - Moderate danger (<= 50) Packing Group III - Mild danger (<=200)

Regulatory Information Risk Phrases R1: Explosive when dry R2: Risk of explosion by shock, friction, fire or other sources of ignition R3: Extreme risk of explosion by shock, friction, fire or other sources of ignition R4: Forms very sensitive explosive metallic compounds R5: Heating may cause an explosion R6: Explosive with or without contact with air R7: May cause fire R8: Contact with combustible material may cause fire R9: Explosive when mixed with combustible material R10: Flammable R11: Highly flammable R12: Extremely flammable R14: Reacts violently with water
