**** SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION ****
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Highly flammable. Irritating to skin. Harmful : danger of serious
damage to health by prolonged exposure through inhalation. Possible
risk of impaired fertility. Toxic to aquatic organisms, may cause
long-term adverse effects in the aquatic environment. Harmful: may
cause lung damage if swallowed. Vapours may cause drowsiness and
dizziness.Highly flammable.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Causes eye irritation. May cause chemical conjunctivitis and
corneal damage.
Skin:
Prolonged and/or repeated contact may cause irritation and/or
dermatitis. Exposure may cause irritation characterized by redness,
dryness, and inflammation. May cause cyanosis of the extremities.
Ingestion:
Aspiration hazard. May cause gastrointestinal irritation with
nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. May cause central nervous system
depression, characterized by excitement, followed by headache,
dizziness, drowsiness, and nausea. Advanced stages may cause
collapse, unconsciousness, coma and possible death due to respiratory
failure. Aspiration of material into the lungs may cause chemical
pneumonitis, which may be fatal.
Inhalation:
Inhalation of high concentrations may cause central nervous system
effects characterized by nausea, headache, dizziness, unconsciousness
and coma. High vapor concentrations may cause drowsiness. Aspiration
may lead to pulmonary edema. Vapors may cause dizziness or
suffocation. May cause burning sensation in the chest.
Chronic:
Prolonged or repeated skin contact may cause dermatitis. Chronic
exposure to vapors may produce polyneuropathy.
**** SECTION 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES ****
Eyes:
Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes,
occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Get medical aid
immediately.
Skin:
Get medical aid. Immediately flush skin with plenty of water for at
least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes.
Wash clothing before reuse.
Ingestion:
Do not induce vomiting. If victim is conscious and alert, give 2-4
cupfuls of milk or water. Never give anything by mouth to an
unconscious person. Possible aspiration hazard. Get medical aid
immediately.
Inhalation:
Get medical aid immediately. Remove from exposure and move to fresh
air immediately. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Do NOT use
mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. If breathing has ceased apply
artificial respiration using oxygen and a suitable mechanical device
such as a bag and a mask.
Notes to Physician:
**** SECTION 5 - FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES ****
General Information:
As in any fire, wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in
pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and full
protective gear. Vapors may form an explosive mixture with air.
Vapors can travel to a source of ignition and flash back. Use water
spray to keep fire-exposed containers cool. Vapor may cause flash
fire. Water may be ineffective. Material is lighter than water and a
fire may be spread by the use of water. Containers may explode in the
heat of a fire. Flammable liquid and vapor. Vapors may be heavier
than air. They can spread along the ground and collect in low or
confined areas. Will be easily ignited by heat, sparks or flame.
Extinguishing Media:
For small fires, use dry chemical, carbon dioxide, water spray or
alcohol-resistant foam. For large fires, use water spray, fog, or
alcohol-resistant foam. Use water spray to cool fire-exposed
containers. Water may be ineffective. This material is lighter than
water and insoluble in water. The fire could easily be spread by the
use of water in an area where the water cannot be contained. Do NOT
use straight streams of water. Cool containers with flooding
quantities of water until well after fire is out.
**** SECTION 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES ****
General Information: Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated
in Section 8.
Spills/Leaks:
Absorb spill with inert material (e.g. vermiculite, sand or earth),
then place in suitable container. Avoid runoff into storm sewers and
ditches which lead to waterways. Clean up spills immediately,
observing precautions in the Protective Equipment section. Remove all
sources of ignition. Use a spark-proof tool. Provide ventilation. A
vapor suppressing foam may be used to reduce vapors. Water spray may
reduce vapor but may not prevent ignition in closed spaces.
**** SECTION 7 - HANDLING and STORAGE ****
Handling:
Wash thoroughly after handling. Use only in a well-ventilated area.
Ground and bond containers when transferring material. Use
spark-proof tools and explosion proof equipment. Avoid contact with
eyes, skin, and clothing. Empty containers retain product residue,
(liquid and/or vapor), and can be dangerous. Keep container tightly
closed. Keep away from heat, sparks and flame. Avoid ingestion and
inhalation. Prevent build up of vapors to explosive concentration. Do
not pressurize, cut, weld, braze, solder, drill, grind, or expose
empty containers to heat, sparks or open flames.
Storage:
Keep away from heat, sparks, and flame. Keep away from sources of
ignition. Store in a tightly closed container. Store in a cool, dry,
well-ventilated area away from incompatible substances.
Flammables-area.
**** SECTION 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS, PERSONAL PROTECTION ****
Engineering Controls:
Facilities storing or utilizing this material should be equipped
with an eyewash facility and a safety shower. Use adequate general or
local explosion-proof ventilation to keep airborne levels to
acceptable levels.
