**** 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.Dangerous for the environment.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Causes mild eye irritation.
Skin:
Prolonged and/or repeated contact may cause defatting of the skin
and dermatitis. Causes irritation with burning pain, itching, and
redness. Absorbed through the skin.
Ingestion:
May cause gastrointestinal irritation with nausea, vomiting and
diarrhea. Aspiration of material into the lungs may cause chemical
pneumonitis, which may be fatal. May cause central nervous system
depression.
Inhalation:
Causes respiratory tract irritation. Exposure produces central
nervous system depression. Vapors may cause dizziness or suffocation.
Chronic:
Prolonged or repeated skin contact may cause defatting and
dermatitis. Prolonged or repeated exposure may cause adverse
reproductive effects. Chronic exposure may cause visual
disturbances. Laboratory experiments have resulted in mutagenic
effects. Peripheral neuropathy symptoms include: muscular weakness,
paresthesia, numbing of the hands, feet, legs and arms, unsteadiness,
and difficulty in walking and standing. Repeated exposure may cause
nervous system abnormalities with muscle weakness and damage, motor
incoordination, and sensation disturbances. Chronic exposure produces
peripheral neuropathy.
**** SECTION 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES ****
Eyes:
In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for
at least 15 minutes. Get medical aid.
Skin:
In case of contact, flush skin with plenty of water. Remove
contaminated clothing and shoes. Get medical aid if irritation
develops and persists. Wash clothing before reuse.
Ingestion:
Potential for aspiration if swallowed. Get medical aid immediately.
Do not induce vomiting unless directed to do so by medical
personnel. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
Inhalation:
If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial
respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical aid.
Notes to Physician:
Treat symptomatically and supportively. For ingestion, the stomach
sould be intubated, aspirated, and lavaged with a slurry of activated
charcoal--protect the airway from aspiration of gastric contents.
Monitor arterial blood gases in cases of severe aspiration.
**** 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. During a fire, irritating and highly toxic gases
may be generated by thermal decomposition or combustion. Use water
spray to keep fire-exposed containers cool. May accumulate static
electrical charges, and may cause ignition of its own vapors.
Extremely flammable liquid and vapor. Vapor may cause flash fire.
Vapors are heavier than air and may travel to a source of ignition
and flash back. Vapors can spread along the ground and collect in
low or confined areas. This liquid floats on water and may travel to
a source of ignition and spread fire.
Extinguishing Media:
Use dry chemical, carbon dioxide, or appropriate foam. Solid streams
of water may be ineffective and spread material. Water may be
ineffective because it will not cool material below its flash point.
**** 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. Provide ventilation. A vapor suppressing foam
may be used to reduce vapors. Use only non-sparking tools and
equipment.
**** SECTION 7 - HANDLING and STORAGE ****
Handling:
Wash thoroughly after handling. Remove contaminated clothing and
wash before reuse. Ground and bond containers when transferring
material. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Empty
containers retain product residue, (liquid and/or vapor), and can be
dangerous. Take precautionary measures against static discharges.
Keep away from heat, sparks and flame. Do not pressurize, cut, weld,
braze, solder, drill, grind, or expose empty containers to heat,
sparks or open flames. Use only with adequate ventilation. Avoid
breathing vapor or mist.
Storage:
Keep away from heat and flame. Keep away from sources of ignition.
Store in a tightly closed container. Keep from contact with oxidizing
materials. 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.
