Inhalation Remove to fresh air. Call a physician or poison control center immediately. Oxygen or
artificial respiration if needed. If unconscious place in recovery position and seek medical
advice.
Skin contact Important! Immediately flush skin with water for at least 15 minutes. Use lukewarm water
if possible. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Get medical attention
immediately. Cover wound with a sterile dressing.
Eye contact Important! Immediately flush eyes, also under eyelids, with water for at least 15 minutes.
Use lukewarm water if possible. Get medical attention immediately.
Ingestion Rinse mouth then drink plenty of water. Do NOT induce vomiting. Seek immediate
medical attention/advice.
Self-protection of the first aider Do not breathe gas/fumes/vapor/spray. Avoid contact with skin, eyes or clothing. Use
personal protective equipment as required.
5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES
Suitable extinguishing media
Carbon dioxide (CO2). Extinguishing powder. Water spray (fog).
Additional information
Cool containers with flooding quantities of water until well after fire is out. Prevent fire extinguishing water from contaminating
surface water or the ground water system.
Environmental precautions
Do not allow into any sewer, on the ground or into any body of water. Local authorities should be advised if significant spillages
cannot be contained. See Section 12 for additional ecological information.

Other Information
The flashpoint data apply to Formalin 45 LM - US. The rest of the physical data apply to 37% concentration of FA.
Chemical stability
The product is stable under normal conditions of use and storage. However, it is normal for formaldehyde solutions to form
paraformaldehyde (white precipitate or cloudy solutions) at temperatures below 68°F. Formaldehyde will sIowly oxidize in
contact with air to give formic acid.

The substance reacts violently with nitrous oxides at about 356°F, performic acid, nitromethane, manganese carbonate and
hydrogen peroxide. Risk of run-away reactions between formaldehyde and phenol. Reaction with hydrochloric acid may form
bis-chloromethyl ether (carcinogenic).
Conditions to avoid
Keep away from heat and sources of ignition.
Incompatible materials
See above.
Acute toxicity
Fatal if inhaled. Toxic in contact with skin and if swallowed.
