It is a severe skin irritant and contact with the skin can cause effects ranging from irritation to burns with deep and painful lesions. Burns may not be immediately painful. The onset of pain after contact may take minutes to hours; however, damage begins immediately.
Extremely hazardous in case of eye contact ( corrosive). Causes severe eye burns. Extremely hazardous in case of skin contact (corrosive). Skin contact produces severe burns. Hazardous in case of skin contact (permeator). Extremely hazardous in case of inhalation (lung corrosive). Hazardous in case of inhalation. Extremely hazardous in case of ingestion.
