PHYSICAL HAZARDS
Hazard class Classification Symbol Signal word Hazard statement Precautionary statement Rationale for the classification
1 Explosives Not applicable - - - - Not an alloy with explosive properties present.
2 Flammable gases (including chemically unstable gases) Not applicable - - - - Liquid (GHS definition)
3 Aerosols Not applicable - - - - Not aerosol products
4 Oxidizing gases Not applicable - - - - Liquid (GHS definition)
5 Gases under pressure Not applicable - - - - Liquid (GHS definition)
6 Flammable liquids Not classified - - - - Not classified because of UNRTDG No. 1422, Class: 4.3, PGII but not 3 (flammable liquid), though it is flammable (NFPA, 13th, 2002)
7 Flammable solids Not applicable - - - - Liquid (GHS definition)
8 Self-reactive substances and mixtures Not applicable - - - - Not an alloy with explosive or self-reactive properties present
9 Pyrophoric liquids Not classified - - - - UNRTDG is classified into 4.3 and I according to the U.N. number (1422) peculiar to a substance. Since 4.2 and I which indicate a spontaneous combustibility liquids were not attached, it carried out the outside of Category. In addition, there is a statement in NFPA (13th, 2002), that it may ignite spontaneously when it contacts the humidity in the air.
10 Pyrophoric solids Not applicable - - - - Liquid (GHS definition)
11 Self-heating substances and mixtures Not classified - - - - UNRTDG is classified into 4.3 and I according to the U.N. number (1422) peculiar to this substance. Since 4.2 which indicates a natural exothermic chemical was not attached, it carried out the outside of Category.
12 Substances and mixtures which, in contact with water, emit flammable gases Category 1 Danger H260: In contact with water releases flammable gases which may ignite spontaneously P231+P232: Handle under inert gas. Protect from moisture.
P335+P334: Brush off loose particles from skin. Immerse in cool water/wrap in wet bandages.
P370+P378: In case of fire: Use ... for extinction.
P402+P404: Store in a dry place. Store in a closed container.
P223: Keep away from any possible contact with water, because of violent reaction and possible flash fire.
P280: Wear protective gloves/protective clothing/eye protection/face protection.
P501: Dispose of contents/container to ...
Category 1 UNRTDG No. 1422, Class: 4.3, PG I
13 Oxidizing liquids Not classified - - - - Not classified because of UNRTDG No. 1422, Class: 4.3, PG I (not Class: 5.1)
14 Oxidizing solids Not applicable - - - - Liquid (GHS definition)
15 Organic peroxides Not applicable - - - - Inorganic compound
16 Corrosive to metals Not classified - - - - Not classified because of UNRTDG No. 1422 Class: 4.3, PG I (not Class: 8)

HEALTH HAZARDS
Hazard class Classification Symbol Signal word Hazard statement Precautionary statement Rationale for the classification
1 Acute toxicity (Oral) Classification not possible - - - - No data. [Note] There is little information about the health hazards of this substance, but it is possible that the substance possesses the same physiological actions as potassium and sodium by themselves, even in an alloy form, so refer to potassium (ID No.1156, CAS No.7440-09-7) and sodium (ID No.1310, CAS No.7440-23-5).
1 Acute toxicity (Dermal) Classification not possible - - - - No data available
1 Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Gases) Not applicable - - - - Liquid (GHS definition)
1 Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Vapours) Classification not possible - - - - No data available
1 Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Dusts and mists) Classification not possible - - - - No data available
2 Skin corrosion/irritation Category 1A-1C Danger H314: Causes severe skin burns and eye damage P301+P330+P331: IF SWALLOWED: Rinse mouth. Do NOT induce vomiting.
P303+P361+P353: IF ON SKIN (or hair): Remove/Take off immediately all contaminated clothing. Rinse skin with water/shower.
P305+P351+P338: IF IN EYES: Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes. Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing.
P304+P340: IF INHALED: Remove victim to fresh air and keep at rest in a position comfortable for breathing.
P260: Do not breathe dust/fume/gas/mist/vapours/spray.
P264: Wash ... thoroughly after handling.
P280: Wear protective gloves/protective clothing/eye protection/face protection.
P310: Immediately call a POISON CENTER or doctor/physician.
P321: Specific treatment (see ... on this label).
P363: Wash contaminated clothing before reuse.
P405: Store locked up.
P501: Dispose of contents/container to ...
There is no data of this product. But this product was also set to category 1A-1C since both potassium (ID No.1156, CAS No.7440-09-7) and sodium (ID No.1310, CAS No.7440-23-5) are categorized in category 1A-1C in a GHS classification.
3 Serious eye damage/eye irritation Category 1 Danger H318: Causes serious eye damage P305+P351+P338: IF IN EYES: Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes. Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing.
P280: Wear protective gloves/protective clothing/eye protection/face protection.
P310: Immediately call a POISON CENTER or doctor/physician.
Although there is no data of this product, due to potassium (ID No.1156, CAS No.7440-09-7) and sodium (ID No.1310, CAS No.7440-23-5) having classified into Category 1 in GHS. So this product was also classified into Category 1.
4 Respiratory sensitization Classification not possible - - - - No data available
4 Skin sensitization Classification not possible - - - - No data available
5 Germ cell mutagenicity Classification not possible - - - - No data available
6 Carcinogenicity Classification not possible - - - - No data available
7 Reproductive toxicity Classification not possible - - - - No data available
8 Specific target organ toxicity - Single exposure Classification not possible - - - - No data available.
9 Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure Classification not possible - - - - No data available
10 Aspiration hazard Classification not possible - - - - No data available
