**** SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION ****
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Irritating to eyes, respiratory system and skin.Light
sensitive.Corrosive.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Causes eye irritation. May cause eye burns. Lachrymator
(substance which increases the flow of tears). Causes redness and
pain.
Skin:
Causes skin irritation. Causes redness and pain.
Ingestion:
May cause severe gastrointestinal tract irritation with nausea,
vomiting and possible burns. The toxicological properties of this
substance have not been fully investigated. May cause central
nervous system depression.
Inhalation:
May cause respiratory tract irritation. Exposure produces central
nervous system depression. Inhalation may be fatal as a result of
spasm, inflammation, edema of the larynx and bronchi, chemical
pneumonitis and pulmonary edema.
Chronic:
No information found.
**** SECTION 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES ****
Eyes:
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.
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. Get medical aid immediately.
Inhalation:
Get medical aid immediately. Remove from exposure and move to fresh
air immediately. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If
breathing is difficult, give oxygen.
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. Will burn if involved in a fire. Combustible
liquid.
Extinguishing Media:
Use foam, dry chemical, or carbon dioxide. DO NOT USE WATER!
**** 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.
**** SECTION 7 - HANDLING and STORAGE ****
Handling:
Wash thoroughly after handling. Remove contaminated clothing and
wash before reuse. Do not get in eyes, on skin, or on clothing. Take
precautionary measures against static discharges. Do not ingest or
inhale. Use only in a chemical fume hood.
Storage:
Keep away from sources of ignition. Store in a cool, dry place. Do
not store in direct sunlight. Store in a tightly closed container.
Dark room. Do not store in metal containers.
**** SECTION 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS, PERSONAL PROTECTION ****
Engineering Controls:
Use adequate ventilation to keep airborne concentrations low.
Exposure Limits
CAS# 100-39-0:
Personal Protective Equipment
