**** SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION ****
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Flammable. Toxic by inhalation and if swallowed. Irritating to eyes,
respiratory system and skin.Lachrymator (substance which increases
the flow of tears).Moisture sensitive.The toxicological properties
of this material have not been fully investigated.Combustible liquid.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Causes eye irritation. May result in corneal injury. Lachrymator
(substance which increases the flow of tears).
Skin:
May be absorbed through the skin in harmful amounts. Exposure may
cause irritation and possible burns.
Ingestion:
The toxicological properties of this substance have not been fully
investigated. May cause tissue anoxia, characterized by weakness,
headache, dizziness, confusion, cyanosis (bluish skin due to
deficient oxygenation of the blood), weak and irregular heart beat,
collapse, unconsciousness, convulsions, coma and death. Can cause
nervous system damage.
Inhalation:
Causes respiratory tract irritation. May cause asthma and shortness
of breath. 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:
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. Immediately flush skin with plenty of
soap and water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated
clothing and shoes.
Ingestion:
If victim is conscious and alert, give 2-4 cupfuls of milk or water.
Get medical aid immediately.
Inhalation:
Get medical aid immediately. Remove from exposure 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 carbon dioxide or dry chemical.
**** 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:
Do not get in eyes, on skin, or on clothing. Do not ingest or
inhale. Use only in a chemical fume hood.
Storage:
