  Ceric Ammonium Sulfate                    13840-04-5       90 - 100%       Yes                 
 

3. Hazards Identification

Inhalation:Not expected to be a health hazard.
Ingestion:Not expected to be a health hazard via ingestion. Extremely large oral doses may produce gastro-intestinal disturbances.
Skin Contact:No adverse effects expected.
Eye Contact:No adverse effects expected but dust may cause mechanical irritation.
Chronic Exposure:No information found.
Aggravation of Pre-existing Conditions:No information found.

4. First Aid Measures

Inhalation:Not expected to require first aid measures.
Ingestion:Not expected to require first aid measures. Give several glasses of water to drink to dilute. If large amounts were swallowed, get medical advice.
Skin Contact:Not expected to require first aid measures.
Eye Contact:Not expected to require first aid measures. Wash thoroughly with running water. Get medical advice if irritation develops.

5. Fire Fighting Measures

Fire:Not combustible, but substance is an oxidizer and its heat of reaction with reducing agents or combustibles may cause ignition.
Explosion:Contact with oxidizable substances may cause extremely violent combustion.
Fire Extinguishing Media:Use any means suitable for extinguishing surrounding fire.
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.

6. Accidental Release Measures

Ventilate area of leak or spill. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment as specified in Section 8. Spills: Sweep up and containerize for reclamation or disposal. Vacuuming or wet sweeping may be used to avoid dust dispersal.

7. Handling and Storage

Keep in a tightly closed container, stored in a cool, dry, ventilated area. Protect against physical damage. Separate from combustible, organic, or any other readily oxidizable materials. Containers of this material may be hazardous when empty since they retain product residues (dust, solids); observe all warnings and precautions listed for the product.

8. Exposure Controls/Personal Protection

Airborne Exposure Limits:None established.
Ventilation System:In general, dilution ventilation is a satisfactory health hazard control for this substance. However, if conditions of use create discomfort to the worker, a local exhaust system should be considered.
Personal Respirators (NIOSH Approved):For conditions of use where exposure to dust or mist is apparent and engineering controls are not feasible, a particulate respirator (NIOSH type N95 or better filters) may be worn. If oil particles (e.g. lubricants, cutting fluids, glycerine, etc.) are present, use a NIOSH type R or P filter. For emergencies or instances where the exposure levels are not known, use a full-face positive-pressure, air-supplied respirator. WARNING: Air-purifying respirators do not protect workers in oxygen-deficient atmospheres.
Skin Protection:Wear protective gloves and clean body-covering clothing.
Eye Protection:Use chemical safety goggles. Maintain eye wash fountain and quick-drench facilities in work area.
