2 Sodium formate Page Number: 2 Section 4. First Aid Measures Eye Contact Skin Contact Serious Skin Contact Check for and remove any contact lenses. In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 5 minutes. Cold water may be used. Get medical attention if irritation occurs. Wash with soap and water. Cover the irritated skin with an emollient. Get medical attention if irritation develops. Cold water may be used. Inhalation Serious Inhalation If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical attention. Ingestion Serious Ingestion Do NOT induce vomiting unless directed to do so by medical personnel. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Loosen tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt or waistband. Get medical attention if symptoms appear. Section 5. Fire and Explosion Data Flammability of the Product Auto-Ignition Temperature Flash Points Flammable Limits Products of Combustion Fire Hazards in Presence of Various Substances May be combustible at high temperature. These products are carbon oxides (CO, CO2). Slightly flammable to flammable in presence of heat. Explosion Hazards in Presence of Various Substances Risks of explosion of the product in presence of mechanical impact: Risks of explosion of the product in presence of static discharge: Fire Fighting Media and Instructions Fire Hazards Explosion Hazards SMALL FIRE: Use DRY chemical powder. LARGE FIRE: Use water spray, fog or foam. Do not use water jet. As with most organic solids, fire is possible at elevated temperatures. Hazardous Decomposition Products: At temperatures higher than 253 deg. C, it decomposes into sodium oxalate and hydrogen then into sodium carbonate. Fine dust dispersed in air in sufficient concentrations, and in the presence of an ignition source is a potential dust explosion hazard. Section 6. Accidental Release Measures Small Spill Large Spill Use appropriate tools to put the spilled solid in a convenient waste disposal container. Finish cleaning by spreading water on the contaminated surface and dispose of according to local and regional authority requirements. Use a shovel to put the material into a convenient waste disposal container. Finish cleaning by spreading water on the contaminated surface and allow to evacuate through the sanitary system.

3 Sodium formate Page Number: 3 Section 7. Handling and Storage Precautions Storage Keep away from heat. Keep away from sources of ignition. Ground all equipment containing material. Do not ingest. Do not breathe dust. If ingested, seek medical advice immediately and show the container or the label. Keep away from incompatibles such as oxidizing agents, acids. Keep container tightly closed. Keep container in a cool, well-ventilated area. Hygroscopic Section 8. Exposure Controls/Personal Protection Engineering Controls Personal Protection Use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to keep airborne levels below recommended exposure limits. If user operations generate dust, fume or mist, use ventilation to keep exposure to airborne contaminants below the exposure limit. Safety glasses. Lab coat. Dust respirator. Be sure to use an approved/certified respirator or equivalent. Gloves. Personal Protection in Case of a Large Spill Exposure Limits Splash goggles. Full suit. Dust respirator. Boots. Gloves. A self contained breathing apparatus should be used to avoid inhalation of the product. Suggested protective clothing might not be sufficient; consult a specialist BEFORE handling this product.

Excess heat, incompatible materials, dust generation. Reactive with oxidizing agents, acids. Non-corrosive in presence of glass. Corrosivity Polymerization Hygroscopic; keep container tightly closed. Absorbs moisture from the air. Reacts with strong acids to form formic acid fumes. Will not occur. Section. Toxicological Information Routes of Entry Toxicity to Animals Chronic Effects on Humans Other Toxic Effects on Humans Toxicity to Animals Chronic Effects on Humans other Toxic Effects on Humans Inhalation. Ingestion. Acute oral toxicity (LD50): 200 mg/kg [Mouse]. Slightly hazardous in case of skin contact (irritant), of ingestion, of inhalation. Lowest Published Lethal Dose: LDL[Dog] - Route: Oral; Dose: 4000 mg/kg Acute Potential Health Effects: Skin: Can cause skin irritation. Symptoms may include redness, itching, and pain. Eyes: Can cause eye irritation. Inhalation: It can cause respiratory tract and mucous membrane irritation. Symptoms may include sore throat, coughing, and shortness of breath. Ingestion: Low toxicity. How hazard for usual industrial handling. Ingestion may cause gastrointestinal tract irritation or ulcer. Symtoms may include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea. It may afftect the urinary system (kidneys) and result in a diuretic effect, Albuminuria, Hematuria and effect behavior/central nervous (somnolence, muscle weakness, sleepiness), and autonomic nervous system. It may rarely affect the blood and cause methemoglobinemia. Chronic Potential Health Effects: Skin: Prolonged or repeated skin contact may cause drying of the skin and sensitization dermatitis particularly in workers previously sensitized to formaldehyde. Ingestion: Prolonged or repeated ingestion may cause kidney damage, which is indicated by Albuminuria, and Hematuria. Section 2. Ecological Information Ecotoxicity BOD5 and COD Products of Biodegradation Toxicity of the Products of Biodegradation Possibly hazardous short term degradation products are not likely. However, long term degradation products may arise. The product itself and its products of degradation are not toxic.
