Boric Acid MSDS Sheet , Material Safety Data Sheet
1. Product Identification
Synonyms: ortho-Boric acid;
boracic acid; Borofax, boric acid (H3BO3)
CAS No.: 10043-35-3
Molecular Weight: 61.83
Chemical Formula: H3BO3
2. Composition/Information on Ingredients
Ingredient: Boric Acid
CAS No.: 10043-35-3
Percent: 100%
Potential Acute Health Effects: Boric Acid is hazardous in case of skin contact (irritant), of eye contact (irritant), of ingestion, of inhalation. Slightly hazardous in case of skin contact (permeator)
Potential Chronic Health Effects:
Carcinogenic Effects: Not available.
Mutagenic
Effects: Mutagenic for bacteria and/or yeast.
Teratogenic
Effects: Not available.
Developmental Toxicity: Classified Reproductive system/toxin/female,
Reproductive system/toxin/male. The substance may be toxic to kidneys,
cardiovascular system, central nervous system (CNS). Repeated or prolonged
exposure to the substance can produce target organs damage.
4. First Aid Measures
Inhalation: Remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial
respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Call a physician.
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.
Skin Contact: Remove any contaminated clothing. Wash skin with soap or
mild detergent and water for at least 15 minutes. Get medical attention if
irritation develops or persists. Wash cloths and Shoes before re-use.
Eye Contact: Check for and remove any contact lenses. In case of contact,
immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Cold water
may be used. Get medical attention.
5. Fire Fighting Measures
Fire: Boric Acid is not
considered to be a fire hazard.
Explosion: A mixture of potassium and boric acid may explode on impact.
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
face piece operated in the pressure demand or other positive pressure mode.
6. Accidental Release Measures
Small
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 legal authority requirements.
Large
Spill: 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.
7. Handling and Storage
Keep Boric Acid in a well closed container stored under cold to warm conditions, 2 to 40 C, (36 to 104F). Protect against physical damage. Carbon steel or aluminum containers are suitable for storage. Stainless steel is needed for moist conditions. Use good housekeeping practices to prevent accumulation of dust and follow sound cleaning techniques that will keep airborne particulates at a low level. Wash hands after handling this material. Avoid contact especially when skin is cut or abraided. Containers of Boric Acid 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: A system of local and/or general exhaust is
recommended to keep employee exposures as low as possible. Local exhaust
ventilation is generally preferred because it can control the emissions of the
contaminant at its source, preventing dispersion of it into the general work
area. Please refer to the ACGIH document, Industrial Ventilation, A Manual of
Recommended Practices, most recent edition, for details.
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, glycerin, 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: Gloves and lab coat, apron or coveralls.
Eye Protection: Use chemical safety goggles. Maintain eye wash fountain
and quick-drench facilities in work area.
