**** SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION ****
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Extremely flammable.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
May cause eye irritation.
Skin:
May cause frostbite. May lead to the formation of blisters.
Ingestion:
May cause irritation of the digestive tract.
Inhalation:
Inhalation of high concentrations may cause central nervous system
effects characterized by nausea, headache, dizziness, unconsciousness
and coma. May cause cardiac sensitization and possible failure. May
cause nausea, dizziness, and headache.
Chronic:
Chronic inhalation may cause effects similar to those of acute
inhalation.
**** 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.
Skin:
Get medical aid. Flush skin with plenty of 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.
Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical
aid.
Inhalation:
Remove from exposure and move to fresh air immediately. If not
breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult,
give oxygen. Get medical aid.
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 can travel to a source of ignition and flash
back. Flammable Gas. Can form explosive mixtures at or above the
flashpoint. 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. Containers may explode when heated.
Will form explosive mixtures with air.
Extinguishing Media:
For large fires, use water spray or fog. Cool containers with
flooding quantities of water until well after fire is out. For small
fires, use dry chemical or carbon dioxide. Do not extinguish a
leaking gas fire unless leak can be stopped.
**** SECTION 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES ****
General Information: Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated
in Section 8.
Spills/Leaks:
Remove all sources of ignition. Isolate area and deny entry. Use
water spray to reduce vapors, do not put water directly on leak,
spill area or inside container. Prevent spreading of vapors through
sewers, ventilation systems and confined areas. Stop leak only if
you can do so without risk.
**** SECTION 7 - HANDLING and STORAGE ****
Handling:
Wash thoroughly after handling. Use with adequate ventilation.
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. Keep container
tightly closed. Keep away from heat, sparks and flame. 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. Keep container closed when not in use. Store in a cool,
dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible substances.
**** 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.

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.
