| [Fire Fighting] Extinguish using agent most appropriate for surrounding fire. | |
| [Fire Potential] Nonflammable. | |
| [Ingestion] Call a physician at once; if victim is conscious, induce vomiting by giving a tablespoon of salt in a glass of warm water and repeat until vomit is clear; give milk or whites of eggs beaten with water; keep patient warm and quiet. | |
| [Inhalation] Remove patient to fresh air; seek medical attention. | |
| [Skin] Flush with plenty of water. | |
| [Eyes] Flush with plenty of water and get medical attention. | |
| [Storage] Material can be stored at room temperature. Venting: open. | |
| [Handling] All chemicals should be considered hazardous. Avoid direct physical contact. Use appropriate, approved safety equipment. Untrained individuals should not handle this chemical or its container. Handling should occur in a chemical fume hood. | |
| [Inhalation] Acute inhalation of fumes can cause cough, dyspnea and chest tightness which is similar to metal fume fever, but which may progress to pneumonitis, pulmonary edema, and death due to respiratory failure in severe cases. Acute exposure can result in residual emphysema and fibrosis. | |
| [Skin] Skin eruptions and pruritus may occur. | |
| [Eyes] See Inhalation. | |
| [Ingestion] Ingestion - nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain and cramping, diarrhea, salivation, dry mouth, and substernal pain occur. | |
| [Hazards] Contact with metals may evolve flammable hydrogen gas. | |
| [UN (DOT)] 2570 | |
| [Personal Protection] Gloves and skin protection. | |
| [Respirators] Wear positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA). | |
| [Exposure Effects] CNS effects of acute exposures have included delayed parkinsonism. Smoking and industrial exposure to cadmium has resulted in increased placental levels of cadmium. | |
| [Exposure limit(s)] IDHL: NIOSH considers cadmium dust (as Cd) to be a potential occupational carcinogen. | |
| [Appearance] Colorless odorless solid or aqueous solution. | |
| [Solubility in water] very soluble | |
| [Density] 1.60 g/cm3 (20 C) | |
| [Usage] To prepare electroplating baths for high strength steels where the normal cyanide baths cause problems of hydrogen embrittlement. | |
| [Odor threshold] Odorless | |
| [Product Name] Cadmium fluoroborate | |
| [Synonyms] Cadmium fluoborate solution Cadmium tetrafluoroborate | |
