CAUTION
IRRITATING TO EYES. IRRITATING TO SKIN.
Potential Health Effects: See Section 11 for more information.
Likely Routes of Exposure: Skin contact, skin absorption, eye contact, inhalation, and ingestion.

Irritating to skin. Sodium azide is rapidly absorbed through the skin. In high concentrations, may be harmful in contact with skin or fatal if absorbed through skin. Ingestion:
May be harmful if swallowed. Causes stomach distress, nausea or vomiting. Sodium azide is rapidly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. May be fatal if ingested in high concentrations. Inhalation:
Irritating to respiratory system. May be fatal if high concentrations of sodium azide are inhaled.
Chronic Effects: Severe burns to skin, eyes and mucous membranes. General deterioration of overall
health. Headache, breathlessness, hypotension, hypothermia, faintness, and convulsions or death.
Signs and Symptoms: Symptoms may include discomfort or pain, excess blinking and tear
production, with marked redness and swelling of the conjunctiva. Symptoms may include redness,
edema, drying, defatting and cracking of the skin. Vapours may cause drowsiness and dizziness.

Medical Conditions Aggravated By Exposure: Product may aggravate preexisting skin, eye,
and respiratory conditions.

Target Organs: Skin, eyes, gastrointestinal tract and respiratory system.
This product is a "Hazardous Chemical" as defined by the OSHA Hazard Communication
Standard, 29 CFR 1910.1200.
Potential Environmental Effects: May cause long-term adverse effects in the aquatic
environment. See Section 12 for more information.

Section 4: FIRST AID MEASURES
Eye Contact: In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes.
If easy to do, remove contact lenses, if worn. Get medical attention immediately. Skin Contact:
In case of contact, immediately flush skin with plenty of water. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Get medical attention immediately if contact was prolonged or irritation persists. Inhalation:
If breathed in, move person into fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical attention if symptoms persist or worsen. Ingestion:
If swallowed, do NOT induce vomiting unless directed to do so by medical personnel. Get medical attention immediately.
General Advice: In case of accident or if you feel unwell, seek medical advice immediately
(show the label or MSDS where possible).
Note to Physicians: Symptoms may not appear immediately.
Section 5: FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Flammability: Not flammable by OSHA criteria.
Means of Extinction:
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Powder, water spray, foam, carbon dioxide.
Unsuitable Extinguishing Media: Not available.
Products of Combustion: Nitrogen oxides, sodium oxide, hydrazoic acid.
Explosion Data:
Sensitivity to Mechanical Impact: Hydrazoic acid is shock sensitive.
Sensitivity to Static Discharge: Not available.
Protection of Firefighters: Keep upwind of fire. Wear full fire fighting turn-out gear (full Bunker
gear) and respiratory protection (SCBA).
Section 6: ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Personal Precautions: Use personal protection recommended in Section 8. Isolate the hazard
area and deny entry to unnecessary and unprotected personnel. Eliminate sources of ignition.
Environmental Precautions: Do not flush down drains. Over a period of time sodium azide
may react with copper, lead, brass, or solder in plumbing systems to form an accumulation of
the highly explosive compounds of lead azide and copper azide.
Methods for Containment: Contain and/or absorb spill with inert material (e.g. sand, diatomite,
acid binders, universal binders), then place in a suitable container. Use appropriate Personal
Protective Equipment (PPE).
Methods for Clean-Up: Scoop up material and place in a disposal container. Provide ventilation.
Other Information: Not available.
Section 7: HANDLING AND STORAGE

Handling:
Keep away from sources of ignition. No smoking. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Do not
swallow. Do not breathe fumes. Use only in well-ventilated areas. Handle and open container with
care. Launder contaminated clothing before re-use. Do not let product come into contact with any
metal laboratory equipment (ex. metal spatula). When using do not eat or drink. Wash hands
before eating, drinking, or smoking. Wash hands immediately after any contact with chemical.
Storage:
Keep out of the reach of children. Keep container tightly closed and in a well-ventilated place.
Store in a cool place. Do not store together with reducing agents, heavy-metal compounds, acids
and alkalis.

Exposure Guidelines

Exposure Limits
Ingredient
OSHA-PEL
ACGIH-TLV

Engineering Controls: Use ventilation adequate to keep exposures (airborne levels of dust,
fume, vapor, etc.) below recommended exposure limits.

Personal Protective Equipment:

Eye/Face Protection: Chemical safety glasses as described by OSHA's eye and face
protection regulations in 29 CFR 1910.133.
Hand Protection: Wear chemical resistant nitrile gloves.
Skin and Body Protection: Wear suitable protective clothing, including lab coat and
closed shoes.
Respiratory Protection: Follow the OSHA respirator regulations found in 29 CFR
1910.134. Always use a NIOSH-approved respirator when necessary.
General Hygiene Considerations: Handle according to established industrial hygiene and
safety practices.

Section 10: STABILITY AND REACTIVITY
Stability: Stable under normal storage conditions. May decompose if heated. May be shock-sensitive.
Conditions of Reactivity: Aqueous solutions of sodium azide contain hydrazoic acid which
volatilizes readily at 99 °F. Hydrazoic acid is a colorless, volatile, highly toxic, flammable and
explosive liquid with a characteristic odor.
Incompatible Materials: Sodium azide reacts with heavy metals such as lead, copper,
mercury, silver, gold and halides to form explosive compounds. Incompatible with benzoyl
chloride, potassium hydroxide, bromine, carbon disulfide, chromyl chloride, copper,
dibromomalononitrile, dimethyl sulfate, lead, and nitric acid. Avoid heat and high temperatures.
Hazardous Decomposition Products: Nitrogen oxides, sodium oxide, hydrazoic acid.
Possibility of Hazardous Reactions: Contact with acids liberates very toxic and explosive
gas, hydrazoic acid vapor. When heated to approx. 527 °F, sodium azide may undergo violent
decomposition.
