------------------ ---------------------------
Potential Health Effects
Inhalation: Toxic by inhalation. May be fatal if inhaled. Corrosive. May cause irritation of the upper respiratory tract. If Ammoniacal etchant is inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical attention.
Ingestion: It causes irritation to the gastrointestinal tract. This material may be harmful or fatal if swallowed. Corrosive and may cause severe and permanent damage to mouth, throat, and stomach. May cause vomiting. If large quantities of this material are swallowed, call a physician immediately.
Skin Contact: Ammoniacal etchant causes irritation to skin. Symptoms include redness, itching, burning and pain.
Eye Contact: Corrosive to the eyes and may cause severe damage including blindness. It causes irritation, redness, and pain. It can cause long term damage.
Chronic Exposure: No information found.
Aggravation of Pre-existing Conditions: No information found.4. First Aid Measures
Inhalation: Remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical attention.
Ingestion: Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical attention.
Skin Contact: Immediately flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Get medical attention. Wash clothing before reuse. Thoroughly clean shoes before reuse.
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: Ammoniacal etchant is not considered to be a fire hazard.
Explosion: It is not considered to be an explosion hazard.
Fire Extinguishing Media: Use any means suitable for extinguishing surrounding fire. Water spray may be used to keep fire exposed containers cool.
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 local and regional authority requirements.
Large Spill: Absorb spill with inert material (e.g., dry sand or earth), then place in a chemical waste container. Use a shovel to put the material into a convenient waste disposal container. Be careful that the product is not present at a concentration level above TLV. Use water spray curtain to divert vapor drift. Use water spray to reduce vapors. Neutralize spill with a weak acid such as vinegar or acetic acid. Prevent entry into sewers, basements or confined areas; dike if needed. Call for assistance on disposal. It is a corrosive liquid & poisonous liquid. Stop leak if without risk.7. Handling and Storage
Keep Ammoniacal etchant in a tightly closed container. Protect it from physical damage. Store it in a cool, dry, ventilated area away from sources of heat, moisture and incompatibilities. Containers of Ammoniacal etchant 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:
Ammonium chloride:
-ACGIH Threshold Limit Value (TLV):
10 mg/m3 (TWA); 20 mg/m3 (STEL) Fume
Airborne Exposure Limits:
For Ammonia:
- OSHA Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL) -
50 ppm (TWA)
- ACGIH Threshold Limit Value (TLV)
25 ppm (TWA), 35 ppm (STEL).
Ventilation System: A system of local and/or general exhaust is recommended to keep employee exposures below the Airborne Exposure Limits. 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): If the exposure limit is exceeded and engineering controls are not feasible, a half face piece particulate respirator (NIOSH type N95 or better filters) may be worn for up to ten times the exposure limit or the maximum use concentration specified by the appropriate regulatory agency or respirator supplier, whichever is lowest.. A full-face piece particulate respirator 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 piece positive-pressure, air-supplied respirator.
Skin Protection: Wear impervious protective clothing, including boots, gloves, lab coat, apron or coveralls, as appropriate, to prevent skin contact.
Eye Protection: Use chemical safety goggles and/or full face shield where dusting or splashing of solutions is possible. Maintain eye wash fountain and quick-drench facilities in work area.9. Physical and Chemical Properties

Stability: Ammoniacal etchant is stable under ordinary conditions of use and storage.
Hazardous Decomposition Products: Ammoniacal etchant involvement in a fire causes decomposition to form hydrogen chloride and ammonia.
Hazardous Polymerization: Will not occur.
Incompatibilities: Concentrated acids, strong bases, silver salts, potassium chlorate, ammonium nitrate, bromine trifluoride and iodine heptafluoride. Ammoniacal etchant reacts explosively with potassium chlorate or bromine trifluoride, and violently with bromide pentafluoride, ammonium compounds, nitrates, and iodine heptafluoride. Explosive nitrogen trichloride may result from reaction of Ammoniacal etchant and hydrogen cyanide.
Conditions to Avoid: Heat, moisture, incompatibles.11. Toxicological Information

Whatever cannot be saved for recovery or recycling should be managed in an appropriate and approved waste disposal facility. Processing, use or contamination of this product may change the waste management options. State and local disposal regulations may differ from federal disposal regulations. Dispose of container and unused Ammoniacal etchant in accordance with legal requirements.
