| EINECS EC Number | 231-831-9 |
| Percent | 97 – 100% |
SECTION 4: First Aid Measures
Always seek medical attention after first aid measures are provided.
| 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: | Wipe off excess material from skin then 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 | Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, lifting lower and upper eyelids occasionally. Get medical attention immediately. Note to Physician: Symptomatic and supportive treatment is recommended. |
SECTION 5 :FIRE FIGHTING Measures
| Flammability of the Product | Non-flammable but it is an oxidizer. |
| Products of Combustion: | It emits toxic oxides of Iodine, Potassium Oxide, Hydrogen Iodide and fumes when heated to decomposition. |
| Fire | Potassium Iodate is supporting fire as an oxidizer. |
| Explosion | Contact with oxidizable substances may cause explosion. |
| Fire Extinguishing Media | Water spray, Foam. Use means suitable for extinguishing surrounding fire. Avoid carbon dioxide and gas filled extinguisher. Water should be preferred. |
| Special Information | Potassium Iodate is an oxidizer. 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. At high temperatures or when moistened under fire conditions, it may produce toxic or irritating fumes. |
SECTION 6:Accidental Release Measures
Methods and materials used for containment Cleanup procedures and Storage
| Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures | Avoid breathing dust/fumes/gas/mist/vapors/spray. Use individual protective equipment (waterproof boots, suitable protective clothing, safety glasses, etc.). Restrict unprotected personnel from the area. Prevent any contact with hot surfaces. Do not approach facing the wind. Do not touch the spilled material. |
| Environmental precautions | Do not let the product enter drains, soil, or water sources. |
| Small Spill: | Eliminate all sources of ignition. Avoid dust formation. Avoid breathingdust. Ensure adequate ventilation. 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 | Eliminate all sources of ignition. Do not let the product enter drains. Use a shovel to put the material into a convenient waste disposal container. Finish cleaning by spreading water on the contaminated surface and allow evacuating through the sanitary system if local laws permit. |
SECTION 7:Handling and Storage
| Precautions for safe handling | Apply according to good manufacturing and industrial hygiene practices. Ensure proper ventilation. In case of insufficient ventilation, wear suitable respiratory equipment. Wash thoroughly after handling. Do not drink, eat or smoke while handling. Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing. Minimize dust generation. Avoid breathing dust/fumes/gas/mist/vapors/spray. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Keep container tightly closed. Avoid ingestion and inhalation. Use individual protective equipment (waterproof boots, suitable protective clothing, safety glasses, etc.) Prevent any contact with hot surfaces. |
| Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities | Store in cool <32C, dryand ventilated area away from heat sources and protected from sunlight in tightly closed original container Keep air contact to a minimum. Do not leave the material container open. Store protected from heat, sparks and ignition sources and incompatible materials. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Avoid inhalation ofdust/mist/vapor. Do not store with incompatible materials like organic substances, strong reducing agents, acids, powdered metals, strong bases, alcohols, phosphorous, anhydrides, halogens, acids metal powders and heat, combustible substances. |
SECTION 8:Exposure Controls/Personal Protection
| Airborne Exposure Limits: | None established. Limit. |
| 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. |
| 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 may be worn. For emergencies or instances where the exposure levels are not known, use a full-face positive-pressure, air-supplied respirator. |
| Skin Protection | Wear protective gloves and clean body-covering clothing. |
| 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. |
| Other Control Measures | Maintain good housekeeping in work area. Dust deposits on floors and other surfaces may pick up moisture and cause the surfaces to become slippery and present safety hazards. Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice. Wash hands after handling. |
