Hazard Statements: Causes serious eye irritation, may cause skin irritation, harmful if swallowed
Precautionary Statements: Wear protective gloves, avoid inhalation of vapors or mists, wash hands thoroughly after handling, keep container tightly closed
Ammonium Chloride: CAS No. 12125-02-9, typically 1–2%
Potassium Bicarbonate: CAS No. 298-14-6, typically 1–1.5%
EDTA (Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, disodium salt): CAS No. 6381-92-6, typically 0.1–0.2%
Water, Deionized: CAS No. 7732-18-5, balance to 100%
Inhalation: Move person to fresh air, keep comfortable for breathing, seek medical attention if symptoms persist
Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing, rinse skin under running water for several minutes, seek medical advice if irritation continues
Eye Contact: Rinse cautiously with water for at least 10 minutes, keep eyelids open and away from eye, remove contact lenses if present and easy to do, seek medical attention immediately
Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting, rinse mouth thoroughly, drink water if person is alert, get medical help right away
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Use water spray, foam, dry chemical, or carbon dioxide
Specific Hazards: In case of fire, decomposition may release toxic fumes such as ammonia, nitrogen oxides, chlorine-containing gases
Protective Equipment: Firefighters require self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing
Personal Precautions: Avoid eye and skin contact, ventilate area, put on protective gloves and goggles
Spill Cleanup: Absorb with inert material (e.g., dry sand, earth), place in chemical waste container, wash spill area with copious amounts of water
Environmental Precautions: Prevent entry into drains, surface water, or ground water
Handling: Wear personal protective equipment, use inside chemical fume hood or well-ventilated area, avoid inhalation, avoid contact with eyes and skin, do not eat, drink or smoke during use
Storage: Store in closed, appropriately labeled containers, keep at room temperature out of direct sunlight, separate from strong acids or oxidizers, keep away from children and unauthorized personnel
Engineering Controls: Use local exhaust or general laboratory ventilation to control exposure
Personal Protective Equipment: Safety goggles, laboratory coat, nitrile or latex gloves, face shield if risk of splashing exists
Occupational Exposure Limit: Ammonium chloride TLV: 10 mg/m³ (ACGIH), no specific limits for other ingredients
Hygiene Measures: Wash hands after handling, do not touch face or eyes with contaminated gloves or hands, remove contaminated clothing promptly
Appearance: Clear, colorless liquid
Odor: Slightly ammoniacal
pH: Typically 7.2–7.6
Melting/Freezing Point: ~0°C (water-based)
Boiling Point: ~100°C
Flash Point: Not flammable
Solubility: Fully miscible in water
Vapor Pressure: As for water
Density: Close to 1 g/cm³ at 20°C
Chemical Stability: Stable under recommended storage conditions
Reactivity: Reacts with strong acids to release toxic gases (e.g., chlorine, ammonia), avoid contact with oxidizers
Hazardous Decomposition: Ammonia, nitrogen oxides, chlorine compounds possible in fire or high heat
Acute Toxicity: Harmful if swallowed in large quantities, may irritate mucous membranes, respiratory tract, skin, and eyes
Chronic Effects: Prolonged exposure may cause skin and eye irritation, not classified as carcinogenic, mutagenic, or teratogenic by IARC, NTP, or OSHA
Symptoms of Overexposure: Burning sensation in eyes, coughing, skin redness, headache, nausea possible with significant exposure
Ecotoxicity: Solutions containing ammonium chloride and EDTA can harm aquatic life in high concentrations
Persistence and Degradability: Components break down slowly in environment, EDTA is not rapidly biodegradable
