*: the olfactory perception threshold for cyanide is lower than 1 ppm on attentive and non accustomed people, but this
threshold can be modified on very long-term exposed people.
PERSONAL PROTECTION
Provide a shower, a powerful tap and sink unit, an eye basin near the workplace and a protective breathing mask for
emergency interventions.
Respiratory protection: during brush plating, provide an effective inhaling of the sprays / vapours where they are
created and extraction out of the premises, and if insufficient, wear a filtering A2B2 cartridge (EN 405:2002 standard).
Hand protection: wear imperatively gloves (in latex or nitrile for example).
Eye protection: wear glasses with lateral protections or a facial screen. Do not wear contact lenses.
Skin protection: wear overalls and safety shoes.
For long-term and continuous uses, or according to the involved quantities of product or to the circumstances of work, it
can be appropriate to add:
a cyanide detection control system (permanent display or instant readings),
for emergency interventions: one or several protective breathing apparatus (complete airtight mask and compressed
air bottle), an oxygen bottle with mask, an emergency kit, the contents and use of which will be specified by the
company doctor. The hydroxocobalamine (B12 vitamin) is often recommended as antidote in case of cyanide
poisoning but presents an allergic shock risk. It must be administered by a resuscitating doctor in the minutes following
the accident. This product is available in pharmacies (Cyanokit 2.5 g for example).
Provide each operator with 2 separate clothing lockers or 1 locker with 2 compartments to allow him to separate non-work
clothes and work clothes.
Draw up a specific intervention plan in the event of an accident (with the company doctor, company safety managers, firstaid workers, external emergency services: ambulance, fire service, hospital, working together). Display the intervention
plan in the work unit.

Inform and train personnel relative to the risks, precautions to be taken and measures to be applied in the event of an
incident.
Hold intervention training sessions.

9 - PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL PROPERTIES
Appearance: clear yellow liquid.
Odour: slight odour of cyanide.
pH: 10.2.
Relative density: 1.09.
Solubility: miscible in water.
Boiling point: approximately 100C.
Crystallisation / melting point: - 6C.
Flammability: nil, but emission of hydrocyanic acid (flammable gas) in contact with an acid.
Oxidising properties: nil.
Risk of explosion: nil.
________________________________________________________________________________________________
10 - STABILITY AND REACTIVITY
STABILITY
Good at normal temperature with water evaporation for only risk.
Good in humidity. Sensitivity to light with yellowing or blackening.
CONDITIONS TO AVOID
High temperatures.
MATERIALS TO AVOID
Acids and powerful oxidising agents, i.e. nitric acid, nitrates, nitrites and chlorates for example.
HAZARDOUS THERMAL DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS
Gaseous emissions of cyanide, nitrogen oxides and carbon oxides.

11 - TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
No data are available regarding the preparation. The evaluation of health hazards has been realised thanks to
directives 67/548/EC, 1999/45/EC and bibliographical data.
SKIN
Very toxic because of the presence of cyanide. Irritant. Repeated exposure may cause allergies on people sensitive to
ethylenediamine.
The long-term absorption of silver salts can lead to the development of a permanent blue-grey colour of the skin and of the
mucous membranes (argyria). This has no disadvantages apart from the aesthetic aspect and can be avoided by washing
the skin after every contact.
EYE MUCOSA
Irritant in case of contact. May cause conjunctivitis.
RESPIRATORY SYSTEM
Very toxic. The cyanide ion is a cellular poison. The most sensitive and rapidly affected tissues are the brain and the
retina.
If HCN is accidentally liberated (contact of the solution with an acid), slight poisoning leads to a feeling of dizziness, or
even to slight breathing problems;
Acute poisoning leads to sudden loss of consciousness, immediately or after a brief latency period, rapidly evolving
towards a deep coma and then possibly to cardiorespiratory arrest.
It is estimated that levels of 50 ppm breathed in for more than half an hour present a significant risk and that levels of 200
to 400 ppm breathed in for a few minutes can be instantly fatal.
Can cause asthma on sensitive people due to the presence of ethylenediamine.
In the event of prolonged inhalation of silver salts, risk of argyria.
IN CASE OF INGESTION
Very toxic. Rapid formation of hydrocyanic acid in contact with gastric acidity.
Nausea, vomiting, abdominal cramps or more severe forms that may result in death.
Silver is reduced and settles on the tissues. These deposits can be avoided by administering a treatment as soon as
possible.
OCCUPATIONAL DISEASES: tables 49, 49a (aliphatic amines, in FRANCE).

5/6
No bioaccumulation.
The cyanide ion is very toxic to the aquatic organisms.
FISHES - Lepomis macrochirus NOEC (57 days): < 0,005 mg/L - Salvelinus fontinalis NOEC (234 days): < 0,006 mg/L.
INVERTEBRATES - Gammares NOEC (83 days): < 0,01 mg / L - Asellus communis NOEC (112 j): < 0,01 mg / L
So the concentration without accute effects would be from 0,05 to 0,5 g /L.
Concentration without foreseeable effect for the environment: PNECfresh water = 0,114 g /L.
According to the directive 1999/45/EC, this solution must be classified with the N symbol: DANGEROUS FOR THE
ENVIRONMENT and with the R51-53 phrase because of its content in cyanide.

13 - DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS
This product and water used for rinsing must not be thrown away notably because of their pH, silver and cyanide contents.
They must be processed within the firm or destroyed by an approved organization without mixing with acids.
Contaminated packaging if not re-used with the same product is also a special waste to be sent to an approved
organization for recycling or disposal.
Classification according to the commission directive 2000/532/EC of 3 May 2000 and its modifications (in particular
2001/118/EC, OJ L47). Use the mandatory documents to follow-up the waste products.
