1 Material Safety Data Sheet PDV SALT Section 1 - Chemical Product and Company Identification Product Name : PDV Salt Synonyms : Sodium Chloride Company Identification : Tradeasia International Pte Limited Address : 133 Cecil Street # Keck Seng Tower, Singapore Republic of Singapore Tel: Fax: contact@chemtradeasia.com Section 2 - Composition, Information on Ingredients Chemical Composition : Sodium Chloride and sodium hexacyanoferrate (II) anti-caking agent (E535) CAS No. : Classification : Not classified Risk Phrases Section 3 - Hazards Identification Eye contact : Causes irritation Skin contact : May cause minor irritation Inhalation : Dust may cause minor irritation Ingestion : Acute and chronic toxic affects can result from the ingestion of excessive amounts of either salt or brine. High concentrations produce inflammatory reactions in the gastrointestinal tract and can cause vomiting, diarrhoea, convulsions and collapse. Ingestion of hypertonic solutions can cause fatal disturbances of body electrolyte and fluid balance particularly in the young and elderly

2 Section 4 - First Aid Measures Eye contact : Flush eyes with copious quantities of water for at least 15 minutes. OBTAIN MEDICAL ATTENTION Skin contact : Wash affected area with copious quantities of water for at least 15 minutes. OBTAIN MEDICAL ATTENTION if irritation persists Inhalation : Remove from exposure to dust. In severe cases OBTAIN MEDICAL ATTENTION Ingestion : Wash out mouth with water and give water to drink. In severe cases OBTAIN MEDICAL ATTENTION Section 5 - Fire Fighting Measures This product is non-flammable Suitable Extinguishing Media Unsuitable Extinguishing Media Special Exposure Hazards Special Protective Equipment : Water, dry chemical or carbon dioxide, dependent upon surrounding fire conditions : None : None known : Dependent upon other materials in the area Section 6 - Accidental Release Measures Personal Precautions : Wear dust excluding mask Environmental Precautions : Prevent spillages from entering drains, streams, watercourses etc. If unavoidable warn the local Water Authority immediately Methods for Cleaning Up : Sweep up spillages and dispose of as low hazard material. Flush affected area with plenty of water Section 7 - Handling and Storage Handling Precautions : Wear appropriate safety equipment - goggles, gloves, and dust excluding mask Storage : Store in tightly sealed containers in a cool, dry place

3 Section 8 - Exposure Controls, Personal Protection Exposure Limits : Short Term Exposure Limit (STEL) : No data Time Weighted Average (TWA) : 4 mg/m3 for respirable dust Personal Protection : Respiratory Protection : Wear dust excluding mask Hand Protection : Wear rubber or PVC gloves Eye Protection : Wear chemical safety goggles Skin Protection : Wear chemically resistant protective clothing with rubber boots Other Protective Measures : An eyewash station should be nearby Section 9 - Physical and Chemical Properties Appearance : Colourless crystalline solid Odour : Odourless ph : 10 approx (10% solution) Boiling Point : 1413 C Melting Point : 802 C Flash Point Flammability : Non Flammable Autoflammability Explosive Properties : None Oxidising Properties : None Vapour Pressure : 2.4mm Hg at 747 C Density : 1.25 g/cm3 Solubility : Soluble in water Section 10 - Stability and Reactivity Stability Conditions to Avoid : Stable at ambient temperatures : Reacts with strong sulphuric acid or nitric acid to give hydrogen chloride gas

4 Materials to Avoid Hazardous Decomposition Products : Under wet conditions can corrode many common metals, particularly iron, aluminum and zinc. Stainless steel and model resist attack : Trace amounts of hydrogen chloride gas may be evolved at temperatures above 800 C Section 11 - Toxicological Information Toxicological Data : LD50 Oral (Rat) 3000 mg/kg Effects of exposure : Eye contact : Dust may be irritating Skin contact : Irritation may occur from prolonged contact Ingestion : Salt is an essential constituent of the diet. It provides important body electrolytes and is the source of hydrochloric acid present in the gastric juices. The blood stream contains nearly 1% sodium chloride. In normal industrial usage salt is non-hazardous Inhalation : May cause coughing and wheezing Carcinogenicity : This material is not considered to be a carcinogen Mutagenicity : This material is not considered to be a mutagen Reproductive Effects : None identified Section 12 - Ecological Information Environmental Effect : A maximum value of 412mg/litre ensures the protection of all aquatic life Ecotoxicity Value : LC50 96hr (Fish) 9750mg/litre Persistence & Degradability : BOD 5 day 0 mg/litre Bioaccumulation/Accumulation : Not determined on the finished product Mobility in Environmental Media : Not determined on the finished product

5 Section 13 - Disposal Considerations Disposal of Product : Sweep up and dispose of as low hazard waste. Minor spillages may be washed to drain with plenty of water Disposal of Packaging : In accordance with local regulations for low hazard waste National or Regional Legislation : Dispose of in accordance with Part 2 of the Environmental Protection Act, Consult your Local Waste Regulatory Authority if in any doubt Section 14 Transport Information UN No. Classification : Not classified Packing Group Transport Hazard Symbol Section 15 Regulatory Information Classification : Not classified as hazardous to users Hazard Pictogram : None Risk Phrases : None Safety Phrases : S22 - Do not breathe dust S2 - Keep out of the reach of children National Legislation: The Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 1999 EH40 Occupational Exposure Limits Chemicals (Hazard Information and Packaging for Supply) (Amendment) Regulations 1996 (CHIP 96) Amended 1998 Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road and Rail (Classification, Packaging and Labelling) Regulations 1996 Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road Regulations 1996
