If not breathing, give artificial respiration. Ingestion ______________________________________________________________________________________________ Page 2 ``` ## Page 3 ```text ALFAA21112 SAFETY DATA SHEET Revision Date 23-Jul-2026Page 3 / 8 Cerium(III) chloride anhydrous ______________________________________________________________________________________________ Immediate medical attention is required. Do NOT induce vomiting. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Drink plenty of water. Most important symptoms and effects Causes burns by all exposure routes. Product is a corrosive material. Use of gastric lavage or emesis is contraindicated. Possible perforation of stomach or esophagus should be investigated: Ingestion causes severe swelling, severe damage to the delicate tissue and danger of perforation Self-Protection of the First Aider Ensure that medical personnel are aware of the material(s) involved, take precautions to protect themselves and prevent spread of contamination. Notes to Physician Treat symptomatically. SECTION 5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES Suitable Extinguishing Media Use extinguishing measures that are appropriate to local circumstances and the surrounding environment. Extinguishing media which must not be used for safety reasons No information available. Specific Hazards Arising from the Chemical The product causes burns of eyes, skin and mucous membranes. Do not allow run-off from fire-fighting to enter drains or water courses. Protective Equipment and Precautions for Firefighters As in any fire, wear self-contained breathing apparatus pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent) and full protective gear. Thermal decomposition can lead to release of irritating gases and vapors. SECTION 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES Personal Precautions Evacuate personnel to safe areas. Use personal protective equipment as required. Avoid contact with skin, eyes or clothing. Environmental Precautions Do not flush into surface water or sanitary sewer system. Do not allow material to contaminate ground water system. Prevent product from entering drains. Local authorities should be advised if significant spillages cannot be contained. Methods for Containment and Clean Up Avoid dust formation. Sweep up and shovel into suitable containers for disposal. Refer to protective measures listed in Sections 8 and 13. SECTION 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE Handling Do not breathe dust. Do not ingest. If swallowed then seek immediate medical assistance. Do not get in eyes, on skin, or on clothing. Use only under a chemical fume hood. Wear personal protective equipment/face protection. Storage Keep containers tightly closed in a dry, cool and well-ventilated place. Corrosives area. Store under an inert atmosphere.

EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION Control Parameters Monitoring methods BS EN 14042:2003 Title Identifier: Workplace atmospheres. Guide for the application and use of procedures for the assessment of exposure to chemical and biological agents. MDHS14/3 General methods for sampling and gravimetric analysis of respirable and inhalable dust Exposure Controls Engineering Measures Ensure adequate ventilation, especially in confined areas. Ensure that eyewash stations and safety showers are close to the workstation location. Wherever possible, engineering control measures such as the isolation or enclosure of the process, the introduction of process or equipment changes to minimise release or contact, and the use of properly designed ventilation systems, should be adopted to control hazardous materials at source. Personal protective equipment Eye Protection Goggles (European standard - EN 166) Hand Protection Protective gloves Glove material Breakthrough time Glove thickness EU standard Glove comments Natural rubber See manufacturers - EN 374 (minimum requirement) Nitrile rubber recommendations Neoprene PVC Inspect gloves before use. Please observe the instructions regarding permeability and breakthrough time which are provided by the supplier of the gloves. (Refer to manufacturer/supplier for information) Ensure gloves are suitable for the task: Chemical compatability, Dexterity, Operational conditions, User susceptibility, e.g. sensitisation effects, also take into consideration the specific local conditions under which the product is used, such as the danger of cuts, abrasion. Remove gloves with care avoiding skin contamination. Skin and body protection Long sleeved clothing Respiratory Protection When workers are facing concentrations above the exposure limit they must use appropriate certified respirators. To protect the wearer, respiratory protective equipment must be the correct fit and be used and maintained properly Large scale/emergency use Use a NIOSH/MSHA or European Standard EN 136 approved respirator if exposure limits are exceeded or if irritation or other symptoms are experienced Recommended Filter type: Particulates filter conforming to EN 143 Small scale/Laboratory use Use a NIOSH/MSHA or European Standard EN 149:2001 approved respirator if exposure limits are exceeded or if irritation or other symptoms are experienced. Recommended half mask:- Particle filtering: EN149:2001 When RPE is used a face piece Fit Test should be conducted Hygiene Measures Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice. Environmental exposure controls Prevent product from entering drains. Do not allow material to contaminate ground water system. Local authorities should be advised if significant spillages cannot be contained. SECTION 9.
