EYE: May cause slight transient (temporary) eye irritation.
Corneal injury is unlikely. May cause temporary discomfort
and dryness similar to windburn.
SKIN: Repeated or prolonged contact may cause defatting of the
skin leading to drying or flaking of the skin. A single
prolonged exposure is not likely to result in the material
being absorbed through skin in harmful amounts.
INGESTION: Single dose oral toxicity is considered to be
extremely low. No hazards anticipated from swallowing small
amounts incidental to normal handling operations. Ingestion of
large amounts may cause injury. Swallowing large amounts may
cause drowsiness.
INHALATION: A single prolonged (hours) excessive inhalation

Potential Health Effects
Inhalation:
Inhalation of concentrated vapors may cause serious damage to the lining of the nose,
throat, and lungs. Breathing difficulties may occur. Neither odor nor degree of irritation are
adequate to indicate vapor concentration.
Ingestion:
Swallowing can cause severe injury leading to death. Symptoms include sore throat,
vomiting, and diarrhea. Ingestion of as little as 1.0 ml has resulted in perforation of the
esophagus.
Skin Contact:
Contact with concentrated solution may cause serious damage to the skin. Effects may
include redness, pain, skin burns. High vapor concentrations may cause skin sensitization.
Eye Contact:
Eye contact with concentrated solutions may cause severe eye damage followed by loss of
sight. Exposure to vapor may cause intense watering and irritation to eyes.
Chronic Exposure:
Repeated or prolonged exposures may cause darkening of the skin, erosion of exposed front
teeth, and chronic inflammation of the nose, throat, and bronchial tubes.
Aggravation of Pre - existing Conditions:
Persons with pre- existing skin disorders or eye problems, or impaired respiratory function
may be more susceptible to the effects of the substance.
4. First Aid Measures
Inhalation:
Remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give
oxygen. Call a physician.
Ingestion:

ACETIC ACID GLACIAL Page 3 of 8
•
DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING! Give large quantities of water or milk if available. Never
give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical attention immediately.
Skin Contact:
In case of contact, immediately flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while
removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash clothing before reuse. Call a physician.
Eye Contact:
Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, lifting lower and upper
eyelids occasionally. Get medical attention immediately.
5. Fire Fighting Measures
Flash point: 40C (104F) Cc] —' �- a s s JZ C o m b u S TI Y> t_t✓ L- t a Q i D
Autoignition temperature: 427C (801F)
Flammable limits in air % by volume:
lel: 4.0; uel: 16.0
Flammable Liquid and Vapor!
Explosion:
Above flash point, vapor -air mixtures are explosive within flammable limits noted above.
Vapors can flow along surfaces to distant ignition source and flash back. Contact with
strong oxidizers may cause fire. Reacts with most metals to produce hydrogen gas, which
can form an explosive mixture with air.
Fire Extinguishing Media:
Water, dry chemical, foam or carbon dioxide. Water spray may be used to keep fire exposed
containers cool.
Special Information:
In the event of a fire, wear full protective clothing and NIOSH- approved self - contained
breathing apparatus with full facepiece operated in the pressure demand or other positive
pressure mode. Water may be used to flush spills away from exposures and to dilute spills
to non - flammable mixtures. Water diluted acid can react with metals to form hydrogen gas.
6. Accidental Release Measures
Ventilate area of leak or spill. Remove all sources of ignition. Wear appropriate personal
protective equipment as specified in Section 8. Isolate hazard area. Keep unnecessary and
unprotected personnel from entering. Use water spray to dilute spill to a nonflammable
mixture. Contain and recover liquid when possible. Collect liquid in an appropriate
container or absorb with an inert material (e. g., vermiculite, dry sand, earth), and place in a
chemical waste container. Use non - sparking tools and equipment. Do not use combustible
materials, such as saw dust. Do not flush to sewer! US Regulations (CERCLA) require
reporting spills and releases to soil, water and air in excess of reportable quantities. The toll
free number for the US Coast Guard National Response Center is (800) 424 -8802.
J. T. Baker NEUTRASORB® or TEAM® 'Low Na +' acid neutralizers are recommended
for spills of this product.

7. Handling and Storage
Protect against physical damage. Store in a cool, dry well - ventilated location, away from
any area where the fire hazard may be acute. Outside or detached storage is preferred.
Separate from incompatibles. Containers should be bonded and grounded for transfers to
avoid static sparks. Storage and use areas should be No Smoking areas. Use non - sparking
type tools and equipment, including explosion proof ventilation. Protect from freezing.
Store above 17C (63F). Containers of this material may be hazardous when empty since
they retain product residues (vapors, liquid); observe all warnings and precautions listed for
the product.
8. Exposure Controls/Personal Protection
Airborne Exposure Limits:
-OSHA Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL):
10 ppm (TWA).
-ACGIH Threshold Limit Value (TLV):
10 ppm (TWA); 15 ppm (STEL).
Ventilation System:
A system of local and /or general exhaust is recommended to keep employee exposures
below the Airborne Exposure Limits. Local exhaust ventilation is generally preferred
because it can control the emissions of the contaminant at its source, preventing dispersion
of it into the general work area. Please refer to the ACGIH document, Industrial
Ventilation, A Manual of Recommended Practices, most recent edition, for details.
Personal Respirators (NIOSH Approved):
If the exposure limit is exceeded, a full facepiece respirator with organic vapor cartridge
may be worn up to 50 times the exposure limit or the maximum use concentration specified
by the appropriate regulatory agency or respirator supplier, whichever is lowest. For
emergencies or instances where the exposure levels are not known, use a full - facepiece
positive - pressure, air - supplied respirator. WARNING: Air purifying respirators do not
protect workers in oxygen - deficient atmospheres.
Skin Protection:
Wear impervious protective clothing, including boots, gloves, lab coat, apron or coveralls,
as appropriate, to prevent skin contact.
Eye Protection:
Use chemical safety goggles and /or a full face shield where splashing is possible. Maintain
eye wash fountain and quick- drench facilities in work area.
