Substance/Mixture: Substance
Components: Silver Hexafluorophosphate
Percent: >98.0%(T)
CAS Number: 26042-63-7
Molecular Weight: 252.83

SECTION 4. FIRST AID MEASURES
Inhalation: Immediately call a poison center or doctor. Effects of exposure (inhalation) to substance
may be delayed.
Move victim to fresh air. Give artificial respiration if victim is not breathing. Administer oxygen if
breathing is
difficult. Keep victim warm and quiet. Treat symptomatically and supportively. Ensure that medical
personnel are aware of the material(s) involved and take precautions to protect themselves.
Skin contact: For severe burns, immediate medical attention is required. Immediately call a poison
center or doctor.
Remove and wash contaminated clothing before re-use. In case of contact with substance,
immediately
flush skin with running water for at least 20 minutes. Treat symptomatically and supportively. Ensure
that
medical personnel are aware of the material(s) involved and take precautions to protect themselves.
Eye contact: IMMEDIATELY flush eyes with running water for at least 15 minutes, keeping eyelids
open. Eye contact
with vapors or substance may cause severe injury, burns, or death. Call emergency medical service.
Move
victim to fresh air. Check for and remove any contact lenses. Keep victim warm and quiet. Treat
symptomatically and supportively. Effects of exposure to substance may be delayed. Ensure that
medical
personnel are aware of the material(s) involved and take precautions to protect themselves.
Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting with out medical advice. Call a physician or Poison Control Center
immediately. Do
not use mouth-to-mouth method if victim ingested the substance; give artificial respiration with the aid
of a
pocket mask equipped with a one-way valve or other proper respiratory medical device. Loosen tight
clothing such as a collar, tie, belt or waistband. If a person vomits place them in the recovery position
so
that vomit will not reenter the mouth and throat. Rinse mouth. Keep victim warm and quiet. Treat
symptomatically and supportively. Ensure that medical personnel are aware of the material(s) involvedand
take precautions to protect themselves.
Symptoms/effects:
Acute: Cough. Headache. Nausea. Shortness of breath.
Delayed: No data available
Immediate medical attention: WARNING: It might be hazardous to the person providing aid to give
mouth-to-mouth respiration, because
the inhaled material is corrosive. For severe burns, immediate medical attention is required. If
breathing
has stopped, perform artificial respiration. Use first aid treatment according to the nature of the injury.
Ensure that medical personnel are aware of the material(s) involved and take precautions to protect
themselves.
SECTION 5. FIREFIGHTING MEASURES
Suitable extinguishing media: Dry chemical, CO2 or water spray. Consult with local fire authorities
before attempting large scale fire
fighting operations.
Specific hazards arising from the chemical
Hazardous combustion products: These products include: Halogenated compounds Phosphates
Metallic oxides
Other specific hazards: WARNING: Highly toxic HF gas is produced during combustion.
Special precautions for fire-fighters:
Use water spray or fog; do not use straight streams. Dike fire-control water for later disposal; do not
scatter the material. Containers may explode when
heated. Move containers from fire area if you can do it without risk.
Special protective equipment for fire-fighters:
Wear positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA). Structural fire fighters' protective
clothing provides limited protection in fire situations
ONLY; it may not be effective in spill situations. Wear chemical protective clothing which is specifically
recommended by the manufacturer. It may
provide little or no thermal protection.
SECTION 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Personal precautions: Avoid contact with skin, eyes, and clothing. Keep people away from and upwind
of spill/leak. Do not touch
damaged containers or spilled material unless wearing appropriate protective clothing (Section 8).
Warn
unnecessary personnel to move away. Stop leak if you can do it without risk. Ensure adequate
ventilation.
Isolate the hazard area and deny entry to unnecessary and unprotected personnel.
Personal protective equipment: Wear eye protection (splash goggles) and face protection (full length
face shield). Lab coat. Dust
respirator. Be sure to use a MSHA/NIOSH approved respirator or equivalent. Wear protective gloves
(nitrile).
Emergency procedures: Prevent dust cloud. In case of a spill and/or a leak, always shut off any
sources of ignition, ventilate the
area, and excercise caution. Do not touch damaged containers or spilled material unless wearing
appropriate protective clothing. Warn personnel to move away. Prevent entry into sewers, basements
orconfined areas; dike if needed.
Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up:
ELIMINATE all ignition sources (no smoking, flares, sparks, or flames in immediate area). Stop leak if
without risk. Absorb with an inert material and put
the spilled material in an appropriate waste disposal container. Use clean non-sparking tools to collect
absorbed material. Ventilate the area.
Environmental precautions:
Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. Water runoff can cause environmental damage.
Prevent entry into sewers, basements or confined
areas; dike if needed.
SECTION 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Precautions for safe handling: Avoid inhalation of vapor or mist. Manipulate under an adequate fume
hood. Avoid contact with skin and
eyes. May corrode metallic surfaces. Use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other
engineering controls to keep airborne levels below recommended exposure limits. Keep container dry.
Handle and open container with care. Wear suitable protective clothing, gloves and eye/face
protection.
When using do not eat, drink, or smoke. Keep away from sources of ignition.
Conditions for safe storage: Store in corrosive resistant container with a resistant inner liner. Keep
containers tightly closed in a cool,
well-ventilated place. Store locked up. Keep away from incompatibles. Containers which are opened
must
be carefully resealed and kept upright to prevent leakage. Avoid prolonged storage periods. Store
under
inert gas (e.g. Argon). Hygroscopic material, store in a tightly sealed container.
Storage incompatibilities: Store away from oxidizing agents
SECTION 8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
Exposure limits:
ACGIH TLV (TWA): 0.01mg(Ag)/m3
OSHA PEL (TWA): 0.01mg(Ag)/m3
Appropriate engineering controls:
Use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to keep airborne
levels below recommended exposure limits. Ventilation
is normally required when handling or using this product. Eyewash fountains should be provided in
areas where there is any possibility that workers
could be exposed to the substance. Follow safe industrial engineering/laboratory practices when
handling any chemical.
