Launder contaminated clothing before re-use.Use good occupational work practice.Observe manufacturer's storage and handling recommendations contained within this SDS.Atmosphere should be regularly checked against established exposure standards to ensure safe working conditions are maintained.Organic powders when finely divided over a range of concentrations regardless of particulate size or shape and suspended in air or some otheroxidizing medium may form explosive dust-air mixtures and result in a fire or dust explosion (including secondary explosions)Minimise airborne dust and eliminate all ignition sources. Keep away from heat, hot surfaces, sparks, and flame.Establish good housekeeping practices.Remove dust accumulations on a regular basis by vacuuming or gentle sweeping to avoid creating dust clouds.Use continuous suction at points of dust generation to capture and minimise the accumulation of dusts. Particular attention should be given to overheadand hidden horizontal surfaces to minimise the probability of a "secondary" explosion. According to NFPA Standard 654, dust layers 1/32 in.(0.8 mm)thick can be sufficient to warrant immediate cleaning of the area.Do not use air hoses for cleaning.Minimise dry sweeping to avoid generation of dust clouds. Vacuum dust-accumulating surfaces and remove to a chemical disposal area. Vacuums withexplosion-proof motors should be used.Control sources of static electricity. Dusts or their packages may accumulate static charges, and static discharge can be a source of ignition.Solids handling systems must be designed in accordance with applicable standards (e.g. NFPA including 654 and 77) and other national guidance.Do not empty directly into flammable solvents or in the presence of flammable vapors.The operator, the packaging container and all equipment must be grounded with electrical bonding and grounding systems. Plastic bags and plasticscannot be grounded, and antistatic bags do not completely protect against development of static charges.Empty containers may contain residual dust which has the potential to accumulate following settling. Such dusts may explode in the presence of anappropriate ignition source.Do NOT cut, drill, grind or weld such containers.In addition ensure such activity is not performed near full, partially empty or empty containers without appropriate workplace safety authorisation orpermit.Store in original containers.Keep containers securely sealed.Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area.Store away from incompatible materials and foodstuff containers.Protect containers against physical damage and check regularly for leaks.Observe manufacturer's storage and handling recommendations contained within this SDS.Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilitiesSuitable containerStorage incompatibilityDO NOT use aluminium or galvanised containersCheck regularly for spills and leaksGlass container is suitable for laboratory quantitiesLined metal can, lined metal pail/ can.Plastic pail.Polyliner drum.Packing as recommended by manufacturer.Check all containers are clearly labelled and free from leaks.For low viscosity materialsDrums and jerricans must be of the non-removable head type.Where a can is to be used as an inner package, the can must have a screwed enclosure.For materials with a viscosity of at least 2680 cSt. (23 deg. C) and solids (between 15 C deg. and 40 deg C.):Removable head packaging;Cans with friction closures andlow pressure tubes and cartridgesmay be used.Where combination packages are used, and the inner packages are of glass, porcelain or stoneware, there must be sufficient inert cushioning material incontact with inner and outer packages unless the outer packaging is a close fitting moulded plastic box and the substances are not incompatible with theplastic.Inorganic acids are generally soluble in water with the release of hydrogen ions. The resulting solutions have pH's of less than 7.0.Inorganic acids neutralise chemical bases (for example: amines and inorganic hydroxides) to form salts - neutralisation can generate dangerously largeamounts of heat in small spaces.Continued.

Theresulting "bumping" can spatter the acid.Inorganic acids react with active metals, including such structural metals as aluminum and iron, to release hydrogen, a flammable gas.Inorganic acids can initiate the polymerisation of certain classes of organic compounds.Inorganic acids react with cyanide compounds to release gaseous hydrogen cyanide.Inorganic acids generate flammable and/or toxic gases in contact with dithiocarbamates, isocyanates, mercaptans, nitrides, nitriles, sulfides, and strongreducing agents. Additional gas-generating reactions occur with sulfites, nitrites, thiosulfates (to give H2S and SO3), dithionites (SO2), and evencarbonates.Acids often catalyse (increase the rate of) chemical reactions.Reacts with mild steel, galvanised steel / zinc producing hydrogen gas which may form an explosive mixture with air.Segregate from alkalies, oxidising agents and chemicals readily decomposed by acids, i.e. cyanides, sulfides, carbonates.SECTION 8 EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTIONControl parametersOCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE LIMITS (OEL)INGREDIENT DATASourceIngredientMaterial nameTWASTELPeakNotesCanada - Nova ScotiaOccupational Exposure Limitssodium borate,decahydrateSodium tetraborate - Decahydrate2mg/m36 mg/m3NotAvailableTLV Basis: upper respiratory tractirritationCanada - Nova ScotiaOccupational Exposure Limitssodium borate,decahydrateSodium tetraborate - Anhydrous2mg/m36 mg/m3NotAvailableTLV Basis: upper respiratory tractirritationCanada - Alberta OccupationalExposure Limitssodium borate,decahydrateBorates, tetra, sodium salts, Decahydrate1mg/m33 ppmNotAvailableNot AvailableCanada - Alberta OccupationalExposure Limitssodium borate,decahydrateBorates, tetra, sodium salts,Pentahydrate1mg/m33 ppmNotAvailableNot AvailableCanada - Alberta OccupationalExposure Limitssodium borate,decahydrateBorates, tetra, sodium salts, Anhydrous1mg/m33 ppmNotAvailableNot AvailableCanada - SaskatchewanOccupational Health and SafetyRegulations - ContaminationLimitssodium borate,decahydrateBorate compounds, inorganic (inhalablefraction )2mg/m36 mg/m3NotAvailableNot AvailableCanada - Manitoba OccupationalExposure Limitssodium borate,decahydrateNot Available2mg/m36 mg/m3NotAvailableNot AvailableCanada - Quebec PermissibleExposure Values for AirborneContaminants (English)sodium borate,decahydrateSodium tetraborate, decahydrate or borax5mg/m3NotAvailableNotAvailableNot AvailableCanada - Quebec PermissibleExposure Values for AirborneContaminants (English)sodium borate,decahydrateSodium tetraborate, anhydre1mg/m3NotAvailableNotAvailableNot AvailableCanada - Northwest TerritoriesOccupational Exposure Limits(English)sodium borate,decahydrateBorate compounds, inorganic (inhalablefraction)2mg/m36 mg/m3NotAvailableNot AvailableCanada - British ColumbiaOccupational Exposure Limitssodium borate,decahydrateBorate compounds, Inorganic, Inhalable2mg/m36 mg/m3NotAvailableNot AvailableCanada - Prince Edward IslandOccupational Exposure Limitssodium borate,decahydrateBorate compounds, inorganic2mg/m36 mg/m3NotAvailableTLV Basis: URT irrEMERGENCY LIMITSIngredientMaterial nameTEEL-1TEEL-2TEEL-3sulfamic acidSulfamic acid9.5 mg/m3100 mg/m3630 mg/m3sodium borate, decahydrateSodium borate decahydrate (Borax)6 mg/m3190 mg/m31,100 mg/m3sodium borate, decahydrateSodium borate; (Disodium tetraborate)6 mg/m388 mg/m3530 mg/m3IngredientOriginal IDLHRevised IDLHsulfamic acidNot AvailableNot Availablesodium borate, decahydrateNot AvailableNot AvailableMATERIAL DATAExposure controlsAppropriate engineeringcontrolsEngineering controls are used to remove a hazard or place a barrier between the worker and the hazard. Well-designed engineering controls can behighly effective in protecting workers and will typically be independent of worker interactions to provide this high level of protection.The basic types of engineering controls are:Process controls which involve changing the way a job activity or process is done to reduce the risk.Enclosure and/or isolation of emission source which keeps a selected hazard "physically" away from the worker and ventilation that strategically "adds" and"removes" air in the work environment. Ventilation can remove or dilute an air contaminant if designed properly. The design of a ventilation system mustmatch the particular process and chemical or contaminant in use.Employers may need to use multiple types of controls to prevent employee overexposure.Local exhaust ventilation is required where solids are handled as powders or crystals; even when particulates are relatively large, a certain proportionwill be powdered by mutual friction.Exhaust ventilation should be designed to prevent accumulation and recirculation of particulates in the workplace.If in spite of local exhaust an adverse concentration of the substance in air could occur, respiratory protection should be considered. Such protectionContinued.

Velocity generally decreases with thesquare of distance from the extraction point (in simple cases). Therefore the air speed at the extraction point should be adjusted, accordingly, afterreference to distance from the contaminating source. The air velocity at the extraction fan, for example, should be a minimum of 4-10 m/s (800-2000 f/min)for extraction of crusher dusts generated 2 metres distant from the extraction point. Other mechanical considerations, producing performance deficits withinthe extraction apparatus, make it essential that theoretical air velocities are multiplied by factors of 10 or more when extraction systems are installed or used.Personal protectionEye and face protectionSkin protectionHands/feet protectionChemical goggles.Full face shield may be required for supplementary but never for primary protection of eyes.Contact lenses may pose a special hazard; soft contact lenses may absorb and concentrate irritants. A written policy document, describing the wearingof lenses or restrictions on use, should be created for each workplace or task. This should include a review of lens absorption and adsorption for theclass of chemicals in use and an account of injury experience. Medical and first-aid personnel should be trained in their removal and suitable equipmentshould be readily available. In the event of chemical exposure, begin eye irrigation immediately and remove contact lens as soon as practicable. Lensshould be removed at the first signs of eye redness or irritation - lens should be removed in a clean environment only after workers have washed handsthoroughly. [CDC NIOSH Current Intelligence Bulletin 59], [AS/NZS 1336 or national equivalent]See Hand protection belowWear chemical protective gloves, e.g. PVC.Wear safety footwear or safety gumboots, e.g. RubberThe selection of suitable gloves does not only depend on the material, but also on further marks of quality which vary from manufacturer to manufacturer.Where the chemical is a preparation of several substances, the resistance of the glove material can not be calculated in advance and has therefore to bechecked prior to the application.The exact break through time for substances has to be obtained from the manufacturer of the protective gloves and.has to be observed when making a finalchoice.Personal hygiene is a key element of effective hand care. Gloves must only be worn on clean hands. After using gloves, hands should be washed and driedthoroughly. Application of a non-perfumed moisturiser is recommended.Suitability and durability of glove type is dependent on usage. Important factors in the selection of gloves include:·frequency and duration of contact,·chemical resistance of glove material,·glove thickness and·dexteritySelect gloves tested to a relevant standard (e.g. Europe EN 374, US F739, AS/NZS 2161.1 or national equivalent).·When prolonged or frequently repeated contact may occur, a glove with a protection class of 5 or higher (breakthrough time greater than240 minutes according to EN 374, AS/NZS 2161.10.1 or national equivalent) is recommended.·When only brief contact is expected, a glove with a protection class of 3 or higher (breakthrough time greater than 60 minutes accordingto EN 374, AS/NZS 2161.10.1 or national equivalent) is recommended.·Some glove polymer types are less affected by movement and this should be taken into account when considering gloves for long-termuse.·Contaminated gloves should be replaced.As defined in ASTM F-739-96 in any application, gloves are rated as:·Excellent when breakthrough time 480 min·Good when breakthrough time 20 min·Fair when breakthrough time 20 min·Poor when glove material degradesFor general applications, gloves with a thickness typically greater than 0.35 mm, are recommended.It should be emphasised that glove thickness is not necessarily a good predictor of glove resistance to a specific chemical, as the permeation efficiency ofthe glove will be dependent on the exact composition of the glove material. Therefore, glove selection should also be based on consideration of the taskrequirements and knowledge of breakthrough times.Glove thickness may also vary depending on the glove manufacturer, the glove type and the glove model. Therefore, the manufacturers’ technical datashould always be taken into account to ensure selection of the most appropriate glove for the task.Note: Depending on the activity being conducted, gloves of varying thickness may be required for specific tasks. For example:·Thinner gloves (down to 0.1 mm or less) may be required where a high degree of manual dexterity is needed. However, these gloves areonly likely to give short duration protection and would normally be just for single use applications, then disposed of.·Thicker gloves (up to 3 mm or more) may be required where there is a mechanical (as well as a chemical) risk i.e. where there isabrasion or puncture potentialGloves must only be worn on clean hands. After using gloves, hands should be washed and dried thoroughly. Application of a non-perfumed moisturiser isrecommended.Continued.
