Toxicological information

• Acute toxicity:

LD50 oral rat : 660 mg/kg

LC50 oral rat : 660 mg/kg

LC50 inh rat : 205 mg/m3 1h

• Dangerous effects for health:

The data we have are insufficient for correct toxicological assessment. Based on the physico-chemical properties, the likely dangerous characteristics are: Very corrosive substance. Causes Burns in the mucosae, skin and eyes If fumes inhaled: breathing difficulties Can cause bronchitis pneumonia. Upon contact with the skin: burns Through contact with the eyes: burns sight disorders blindness (irreversible injury of the optic nerve) If swallowed: Burns in the oesophagus and stomach. Can cause perforation in the oesophagus and stomach. Other dangerous characteristics are not discarded. Take the usual precautions for handling chemical products.

Considerations regarding elimination

13.1 Substance or preparation:

In the European Union, there are no homogeneous standards established for elimination of chemical waste, which is waste of a special nature, and treatment and elimination of same is subject to the domestic legislation in each country.

In view of this, in each case, you should contact the competent authority or those companies legally authorized for elimination of waste.

2001/573/EC: Council Decision of 23 July 2001 amending Commission Decision 2000/532/EC as regards the list of wastes.Council Directive 91/156/EEC of 18 March 1991 amending Directive 75/442/EEC on waste.
