Face shields

When dispersed as a dust, adipic acid is subject to normal dust explosion hazards. See Table 3 for ignition properties of such dust—air mixtures. The material is an irritant, especially upon contact with the mucous membranes. Thus protective goggles or face shields should be worn when handling the material. Prolonged contact with the skin should also be avoided. Eye wash fountains, showers, and washing faciUties should be provided in work areas. However, MSDS Sheet400 (5) reports that no acute or chronic effects have been observed. 

Experimentation with test animals and laboratory and plant experience indicate that the fluorophosphoric acids are less toxic and dangerous than hydrogen fluoride (58). However, they contain, or can hydrolyze to, hydrofluoric acid and must be treated with the same care as hydrofluoric acid. Rubber gloves and face shields are essential for all work with these acids, and full mbber dress is necessary for handling larger quantities. The fumes from these acids contain HF. 

Protective equipment and clothing such as face shields and gloves should be worn and safety showers should be available wherever there is a possibihty of being splashed or otherwise contacted by nickel-containing solutions. If dermatitis should occur, the possibiUty that it is nickel-related should be brought to the attention of a physician. 

Potassium forms corrosive potassium hydroxide and Hberates explosive hydrogen gas upon reaction with water and moisture. Airborne potassium dusts or potassium combustion products attack mucous membranes and skin causing bums and skin cauterization. Inhalation and skin contact must be avoided. Safety goggles, full face shields, respirators, leather gloves, fire-resistant clothing, and a leather apron are considered minimum safety equipment. 

Alkylamiaes are toxic. Both the Hquids and vapors can cause severe irritations to mucous membranes, eyes, and skin. Protective butyl mbber gloves, aprons, chemical face shields, and self-contained breathing apparatus should be used by aH personnel handling alkylamiaes. Amines are flammable and the lower mol wt alkylamiaes with high vapor pressures at ordiaary temperatures have low flash poiats. Amines should be handled ia weH-veatilated areas only after eliminating potential sources of ignition. 

In view of the above, aniline should be handled in areas with adequate ventilation and skin exposure should be avoided by wearing the proper safety equipment. Recommended personal protective equipment includes hard hat with brim, chemical safety goggles, hiU length face shield, mbber gaundet gloves, mbber apron, and mbber safety shoes or mbber boots worn over leather shoes. 

The potassium hydroxide electrolyte used in alkaline batteries is a corrosive hazardous chemical. It is a poison and if ingested attacks the throat and stomach linings. Immediate medical attention is required. It slowly attacks skin if not rapidly washed away. Extreme care should be taken to avoid eye contact that can result in severe bums and blindness. Protective clothing and face shields or goggles should be worn when filling cells with water or electrolyte and performing other maintenance on vented batteries. 

Butyric acid, the simple oxidation product of -butyraldehyde, is used chiedy in the production of cellulose acetate butyrate [9004-36-8]. Sheets of cellulose acetate butyrate are used for thermoformed sign faces, bUster packaging, goggles, and face shields. 

Most carrier-active compounds ate based on aromatic chemicals with characteristic odor. An exception is the phthalate esters, which are often preferred when ambient odor is objectionable or residual odor on the fabric caimot be tolerated. The toxicity of carrier-active compounds and of their ultimate compositions varies with the chemical or chemicals involved. The environment surrounding the dyeing equipment where carriers are used should always be weU-ventilated, and operators should wear protective clothing (eg, mbber gloves, aprons, and safety glasses or face shields, and possibly an appropriate respirator). Specific handling information can be obtained from the suppHer or manufacturer.
