**** SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION ****
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Causes burns. Toxic in contact with skin and if
swallowed.Corrosive.Toxic.Hygroscopic (absorbs moisture from the
air).Light sensitive.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Causes eye burns. May result in corneal injury. Contact with
liquid is corrosive to the eyes and causes severe burns. May cause
conjunctivitis and keratitis.
Skin:
May be absorbed through the skin in harmful amounts. Causes severe
skin irritation and burns. May cause sensitization by skin contact.
Ingestion:
May cause severe and permanent damage to the digestive tract. May
cause vascular collapse and damage. Causes severe digestive tract
burns with abdominal pain, vomiting, and possible death. May cause
kidney, liver and spleen damage. Rapidly absorbed from the
gastrointestinal tract. Cresols may cause abnormalities of the
central nervous system, respiratory system, spleen and pancreas.
Inhalation:
May be fatal if inhaled. Irritation may lead to chemical pneumonitis
and pulmonary edema. May cause liver and kidney damage. Causes severe
irritation of upper respiratory tract with coughing, burns, breathing
difficulty, and possible coma. Causes chemical burns to the
respiratory tract. May cause headache. May cause nausea and possible
vomiting.
Chronic:
May cause liver and kidney damage. Repeated exposure may cause
sensitization dermatitis. May cause appetite loss, diarrhea, skin
abnormalities, and digestive tract disturbances.
**** SECTION 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES ****
Eyes:
Get medical aid immediately. Do NOT allow victim to rub eyes or keep
eyes closed. Extensive irrigation with water is required (at least 30
minutes).
Skin:
Get medical aid immediately. Immediately flush skin with plenty of
water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing
and shoes. Discard contaminated clothing in a manner which limits
further exposure. Destroy contaminated 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 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. Water runoff can cause environmental damage. Dike
and collect water used to fight fire. Vapors can travel to a source
of ignition and flash back. During a fire, irritating and highly
toxic gases may be generated by thermal decomposition or combustion.
Vapors may be heavier than air. They can spread along the ground and
collect in low or confined areas. May polymerize explosively when
involved in a fire. Material is a solid at room temperature that
melts upon moderate heating into a combustible liquid with a flash
point below 200F(93.3C).
Extinguishing Media:
For small fires, use dry chemical, carbon dioxide, or water spray.
For large fires, use dry chemical, carbon dioxide, alcohol-resistant
foam, or water spray.
**** 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. Wear a
self contained breathing apparatus and appropriate personal
protection. (See Exposure Controls, Personal Protection section).
Remove all sources of ignition. Provide ventilation. Evacuate
unnecessary personnel.
**** SECTION 7 - HANDLING and STORAGE ****
Handling:
Wash thoroughly after handling. Remove contaminated clothing and
wash before reuse. Use only in a well-ventilated area. Minimize dust
generation and accumulation. Ground and bond containers when
transferring material. Do not get in eyes, on skin, or on clothing.
Empty containers retain product residue, (liquid and/or vapor), and
can be dangerous. Keep container tightly closed. Do not ingest or
inhale. Discard contaminated shoes. Do not pressurize, cut, weld,
braze, solder, drill, grind, or expose empty containers to heat,
sparks or open flames.
Storage:
Keep away from sources of ignition. Keep container closed when not
in use. Store in a tightly closed container. Store in a cool, dry,
well-ventilated area away from incompatible substances. Corrosives
area. If the water content is below approximately 0.3% and the
temperature exceeds 268F (120C), violent corrosion of aluminum and
its alloys may occur.
**** 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
ventilation to keep airborne concentrations low.
Exposure Limits
CAS# 106-44-5:
Japan: 5 ppm OEL; 22 mg/m3 OEL
Personal Protective Equipment
Eyes:
Wear appropriate protective eyeglasses or chemical
safety goggles as described by OSHA's eye and face
protection regulations in 29 CFR 1910.133 or European
Standard EN166.
Skin:
Wear appropriate protective gloves to prevent skin
exposure.
Clothing:
Wear appropriate protective clothing to prevent skin
exposure.
Respirators:
Follow the OSHA respirator regulations found in 29
CFR 1910.134 or European Standard EN 149. Use a
NIOSH/MSHA or European Standard EN 149 approved
respirator if exposure limits are exceeded or if
irritation or other symptoms are experienced.
