Wash with copious amounts of water for at least 15 min.

Handling and Storage

Storage

Keep in well ventilated area keep away from heat.

Handling

All chemicals should be considered hazardous. Avoid direct physical contact. Use appropriate, approved safety equipment. Untrained individuals should not handle this chemical or its container. Handling should occur in a chemical fume hood.

Hazards Identification

Inhalation

Metal fume fever, wheezing and rales have been reported in workers exposed to fine copper dust. Dyspnea has developed after oral copper exposure. Pulmonary edema and alveolar inflammation have been noted in animals.

Skin

Skin exposure can produce in severe irritation, itching, erythema, dermatitis and eczema; systemic toxicity may result.

Eyes

Redness.

Ingestion

Gastroenteritis with vomiting may occur after ingestion of some copper salts. Mucosal erosions, a metallic taste, burning epigastric sensation and diarrhea may also occur.

Hazards

Vapors may form explosive mixtures with air. Vapors may travel to source of ignition and flash back. Most vapors are heavier than air. They will spread along ground and collect in low or confined areas (sewers, basements, tanks). Vapor explosion and poison hazard indoors, outdoors or in sewers.

Exposure Controls/Personal Protection

Personal Protection

Goggles or face shield; plastic gloves (as for gasoline).

Respirators

Wear positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA).

Increased temperature may be noted in some cases. Abnormally low blood pressure may occur. Mental status may be depressed.

Poison Class

5

Fire Fighting Measures

Autoignition

282

Fire Fighting

Do not extinguish fire unless flow can be stopped. Use water in flooding quantities as fog. Solid streams of water may be ineffective. Cool all affected containers with flooding quantities of water. Apply water from as far a distance as possible. Use foam, dry chemical, or carbon dioxide.

Fire Potential

Moderately flammable.

Accidental Release Measures

Small spills/leaks

Keep sparks, flames, and other sources of ignition away. Keep material out of water sources and sewers. Build dikes to contain flow as necessary. Use water spray to knock-down vapors.

Stability and Reactivity

Incompatibilities

Reacts as bases to neutralize acids.

Stability

Stable.

Decomposition

On combustion, forms toxic gases.

Combustion Products

Fire will produce irritating, corrosive and/or toxic gases.
