is a broad-spectrum, non-oxidizing biocide designed for use in recirculating cooling towers and closed-loop systems. It is particularly effective at controlling slime-forming and sulfate-reducing bacteria, making it ideal for maintaining heat transfer efficiency in industrial water systems. How to Access the NALCO 73385 MSDS/SDS
In the event of accidental exposure, immediate action is required to minimize injury. The MSDS outlines specific protocols for different exposure routes:
DANGER
| Route | Effects | |---|---| | | Causes serious eye damage. Symptoms: Redness, Pain, Corrosion. | | Skin | Causes severe skin burns. May cause allergic skin reaction. May cause numbness, weakness, shooting pain in stomach and/or extremities, and blindness. Symptoms: Redness, Pain, Corrosion, Allergic reactions. | | Ingestion | May cause blindness if swallowed. Toxic if swallowed. Causes digestive tract burns. May cause numbness, weakness, shooting pain in stomach and/or extremities, and blindness. Symptoms: Corrosion, Abdominal pain, Vomiting. | | Inhalation | May cause allergy or asthma symptoms or breathing difficulties if inhaled. May cause nose, throat, and lung irritation. May cause respiratory tract irritation. May cause numbness, weakness, shooting pain in stomach and/or extremities, and blindness. High vapor concentrations can cause headaches, dizziness, drowsiness, and nausea and may lead to unconsciousness. Symptoms: Respiratory irritation, Cough, May cause allergy or asthma symptoms or breathing difficulties if inhaled. | | Chronic Exposure | May cause damage to organs. | nalco 73385 msds
Firefighters must wear a self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) and full protective bunker gear. Spill Containment (Accidental Release)
Based on Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) for similar Nalco non-oxidizing biocides, users must observe strict safety protocols. Health Hazards
| Property | Value | |----------|-------| | Appearance | Clear, colorless to pale yellow liquid | | Odor | Mild, ammonia-like or slightly sulfurous | | pH (100% concentrate) | 12.0 – 13.5 | | Specific gravity | 1.28 – 1.32 @ 20°C | | Boiling point | ~105°C (slight elevation due to salts) | | Freezing point | ~ -5°C (25% solution) | | Viscosity | Low (~10 cPs) | | Solubility in water | Complete | is a broad-spectrum, non-oxidizing biocide designed for use
The concentrated liquid can cause severe skin burns, redness, and blistering upon direct contact.
Strong oxidizing agents and strong bases. Technical Application and Benefits
Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) listed in Section 8. Ensure adequate ventilation in the spill zone. Environmental Precautions The MSDS outlines specific protocols for different exposure
Do not force vomiting. Rinse the mouth out thoroughly with fresh water and contact a local Poison Control Center or medical doctor immediately. Handling, Storage, and Chemical Compatibility
No (molybdate is not listed as a marine pollutant under MARPOL Annex III, but some countries require notification).
