Section 3 Health hazard data

Ingestion:  Moderate toxic; limited damage to mouth, throat and the alimentary canal;

Skin contact: Long term or frequent exposure may irritate the skin

Inhalation: over dense vapor of TIPA may irritate the eyes and nose.

Section 4 Emergency and first aid procedure

Ingestion: Immediately administer large quantity of diluted salt water and get medical attention

Inhalation:  Remove the patient to fresh air. If breathing has stopped, administer artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. If breathing does not return to normal within a few minutes, get medical attention immediately.

Eye contact with the vapor: Immediately flush eyes in clear running water for at least 15 minutes., lifting upper and lower ids periodically. Get medical attention immediately, preferable an eye specialist.

Section 5 fire and explosion hazard data

Flash point: None

Extinguishing Media: Water fog, carbon dioxide, dry chemical; general air protein foam or freon protein foam; concrete, sands, etc..

The fire fights should be protected with antitoxic mask, protecting clothes and gloves, which can resist strong acid or alkali.

Section 6 leakage hazard data

The fire source should be removed first and keep the room ventilated. People dealing with the leakage should be protected as the section 5 has said and use enough sodium acid sulfate to cover the leakage. Then saturate with alkali. The waste liquid should be disposed of into the waste system.

Section 7 delivery and storage

Handle with care . The container should be protected from attack, high pressure, collapse; friction and is not suitable to roll in the case. Labels outside the container should be kept in place. All the related electronic equipment should conform to certain fire standards. Most important of all, the outer package shouldn’t be damaged.

Store sealed in a cool, dry, well ventilated area away from acids, alkali, oxidizers, toxic or corrosive materials, combustible or explosive materials, long exposure to the sunlight. Do not roll containers. Stored in stainless steel containers. Avoid to contact with copper or copper containing metals.  When the freezing point of TIPA is low , e.g. 15% of water content, aluminum containers is not suitable.  The container and its related equipment should be heated, insulated around 100℃. Use centrifugal pump to feed TIPA and seal the closure mechanically with TEFLON resin or asbestos fillings.

Section 8 contact or personal handling protection

Entering the work area with protective gloves, eye-shade, month cover. Avoid skin contact, vapor.  Do not use unless eye bath and safety shower is available in the work area.

Hazardous decomposition or byproducts: none.

Section 11 Toxicity data

TIPA belongs to organic alkali weak corrosive chemicals.

Repeated and prolonged exposure may result in certain skin inflammation.

Ingestion maybe have toxic results.

Eye, nose, skin contact with vapor may irritate. Prolonged contact will affect the eyesight.

Section 12 Biological data

No official report is available. However, this product won’t have apparent affect on the environment if the density is quite low. Otherwise, it will produce certain adverse influence on the water source, land, and aquatic organisms.

Section 13 Waste disposal method suggestion

TIPA and the packing materials can be recycled. Those failing to be recycled can be dealt with according to Section 6.

Section 14 Transportation data

The vessel should not be labeled with danger mark, refer to bill of loading or container label for DOT or other transportation hazzrd classification, if any.

The places and tools relating to the TIPA handling and delivery should be cleaned and take necessary anti-corrosive procedures. The waste should be discharged to the assigned place.

Section 15 Legal requirements

For TIPA 85%, it belongs to flammable and organic weak-corrosive chemicals. The products should not be labeled with danger mark.
