4. First aid measures

EYES: Irrigate copiously with clean, fresh water for at least 15 minutes. Immediately seek medical advice.
SKIN: Immediately wash with plenty of water. Remove all contaminated clothing. Obtain immediate medical
attention. Wash contaminated clothing separately before using them.
INHALATION: Remove to fresh air. If breathing is irregular or stopped, administer artificial respiration. Obtain
immediate medical attention.
INGESTION: Obtain immediate medical attention. Induce vomiting only if indicated by the doctor. Give nothing
by mouth to an unconscious person.

5. Fire-fighting measures

Allow containers to cool in order to avoid product decomposition and generation of substances which might
injure the health and be dangerous for safety reasons. Wear the fire equipment all the time.

6. Accidental release measures

Limit the spreading of the spillage with inert absorbent material (sand, earth etc). Neutralize and remove as far
as possible the treated mass; wash the remainder with plenty of water.

7. Handling and storage

Make sure that equipment is available for cooling the vessels, to prevent the danger of overpressure and
overheating in the event of fire in the vicinity. Refer to the other sections of this data sheet for information
relating to health and environmental risks.

8. Exposure controls / personal protection.

Against corrosive properties of the product and according to the type of working, suitable protection
equipment should be worn. Such as: an helmet to protect the face, the head and the neck, waterproof gloves
and overalls, resistant to the product.
Do not eat, drink or smoke while handling it; wash carefully with soap and water before meals and after work
shift; a shower is recommended.

10. Stability and reactivity

The product is stable in normal conditions of use and storage. Due to thermal decomposition or in the event of
a fire vapours may be produced potentially dangerous to health.
Phosphoric acid decomposes when heated forming toxic fumes of phosphorus oxide; it reacts with several
metals with the formation of hydrogen which is explosive. Above 200 ¡C it also attacks glass.
Potassium hydroxide: in preparing the solutions always add the substance to the water and not vice versus in
order to avoid the formation of corrosive sprays due to a rise in temperature. It attacks aluminium, tin, lead and
zinc; it reacts violently with acids.

11. Toxicological information

Acute effects: ingestion of this product is harmful. Even small amounts of product may cause serious health
problems (stomach pain, nausea, sickness, diarrhoea, etc.). This product may slightly irritate mucosas, the
upper respiratory tract, eyes, and skin. Exposure symptoms may include: sting, cough, asthma, laryngitis,
respiratory disorders, headache, nausea and sickness.
This product is corrosive and causes serious burns and vescicles on the skin, which can arise even after
exposure. Burns are very stinging and painful. Upon contact with eyes, it may cause serious harm such as
cornea opacity, iris lesions, irreversible eye coloration. Possible vapours are caustic for the respiratory system
and may cause pulmonary edema, whose symptoms sometimes arise only after some hours. Exposure
symptoms may include: sting, cough, asthma, laryngitis, respiratory disorders, headache, nausea and
sickness. If swallowed, it may cause mouth, throat and oesophagus burns, sickness, diarrhoea, edema, larynx
swelling and, consequently, asphyxia, perforation of the gastro-intestinal tract.
