Calcium Chloride

• PERCENT % 94 - 100

• CAS # 10043-52-4

If In Eyes: Hold eye open and rinse slowly and gently with water for 15-20 minutes. Remove contact lenses, if present, after the first 5 minutes, then continue rinsing eye. Call a poison control center or doctor for treatment advice.

If on Skin or Clothing: If on skin wash with plenty of water. If skin irritation occurs, get medical attention. Take off contaminated clothing and wash before reuse.

If Inhaled: If inhalation of dust occurs and adverse effects result, remove to uncontaminated area. Call a Poison Control Center or doctor if you feel unwell.

If Swallowed: If swallowed, do not induce vomiting. Get medical attention immediately. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious or convulsive person.

Note: Have the product container or label with you when calling a poison control center or doctor, or going for treatment. There is a need for rapid medical treatment on any ingestion exposure.

Suitable / Unsuitable Extinguishing Media: Carbon dioxide, dry chemical powder or appropriate foam. Use water to keep non-leaking, fire-exposed containers cool.

Specific Hazards from Chemical: Hydrogen chloride gas, calcium oxide. During a fire, irritating and highly toxic gases may be generated by thermal decomposition or combustion. Contact with metals may evolve flammable hydrogen gas.

Special Protective Equipment: Wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and full protective gear.

Other Information: No data available

Personal Precautions: Spilled material may cause a slipping hazard. Isolate area. Keep unnecessary and unprotected personnel from entering the area. Use appropriate safety equipment. Do not touch damaged containers or spilled product unless wearing protective equipment. For additional information, refer to CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTIONS, Exposure Controls and Personal Protection. Refer to HANDLING AND STORAGE, Handling, for additional precautionary measures.

Methods and Materials for cleanup: Contain the discharged material. If sweeping of a contaminated area is necessary use a dust suppressant agent.

Handling: Wash thoroughly after handling. Remove contaminated clothing and wash before reuse. Use with adequate ventilation. Do not breath dust, minimize dust generation and accumulation. Do not get in eyes, on skin or on clothing.

Storage: Store in a cool, dry place in original container and out of direct sunlight. Storage area should be clearly identified, clear of obstruction and accessible only to trained and authorized personnel.

OSHA permissible exposure limit:

• Calcium Chloride:

• OSHA: PEL: 5 mg/m3 TWA

• ACGIH: TLV: 5 mg/m3 TWA

Appropriate Engineering Controls: Provide general or local exhaust ventilation systems to maintain airborne concentrations below TLV/PELs. Local exhaust ventilation is preferred as it prevents contaminant dispersion into the work area by controlling it at its source.

Individual Protection Measures:

• Respiratory Protection: Use a type N100 as a backup to engineering controls.

• Hand Protection: Handle with gloves and dispose of contaminated gloves after use. Select gloves tested to the ANSI/ISEA 105-2011. Full and splash contact: Nitrile rubber.

• Eye Protection: Use Face shield and safety glasses, tested and approved under appropriate government standards.

• Skin Protection: Protective equipment must be selected according to the concentration and amount of the dangerous substances at the specific workplace.
