CRESYLATE SPENT CAUSTIC SOLUTION

A liquid. (USCG, 1999)

none

Water soluble. May generate large amounts of heat when dissolved in water.

Special Hazards of Combustion Products: Contain toxic and corrosive fumes of sodium monoxide (Na 2 O).

Behavior in Fire: Noncombustible; however, if heated to dryness, resulting soilds may ignite spontaneously in air to yield toxic and corrosive fumes containing sodium monoxide (Na 2 O). (USCG, 1999)

Inhalation of mist may be harmful. Contact causes burns to eyes and skin. Caustic; harmful if swallowed. (USCG, 1999)

Incompatible with copper, copper alloys, zinc or aluminum (USCG, 1999). Combustion products contain toxic and corrosive fumes of sodium monoxide (Na2O).

Fire Extinguishing Agents Not to Be Used: Do not use dry chemicals containing ammonium salts or urea. These compounds may react with the caustic solution to generate toxic ammonia gas.

Fire Extinguishing Agents: Small fires: dry chemical (no ammonium salts or urea), carbon dioxide, water spray or foam; large fires: water spray, fog or foam. (Spilled material may ignite if allowed to dry.) (USCG, 1999)

INHALATION: Move victim to fresh air. If breathing has stopped, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen.

EYES OR SKIN: Flush with running water for at least 15 min.; hold eyelids open if necessary. Remove and isolate contaminated clothing and shoes at the site.

INGESTION: If victim is conscious, have victim drink water or milk. DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. If victim is unconscious or having convulsions, do nothing except keep victim warm. (USCG, 1999)
