**** SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION ****
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Highly flammable. Very toxic by inhalation. Causes burns. Toxic in
contact with skin and if swallowed. Very toxic to aquatic
organisms.Lachrymator (substance which increases the flow of tears).
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
May result in corneal injury. Contact with eyes may cause severe
irritation, and possible eye burns. Lachrymator (substance which
increases the flow of tears).
Skin:
May be fatal if absorbed through the skin. May cause skin
sensitization, an allergic reaction, which becomes evident upon
re-exposure to this material. May cause severe irritation and
possible burns.
Ingestion:
May be fatal if swallowed. May cause severe gastrointestinal tract
irritation with nausea, vomiting and possible burns.
Inhalation:
May cause severe irritation of the respiratory tract with sore
throat, coughing, shortness of breath and delayed lung edema.
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:
In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for
at least 15 minutes. Get medical aid immediately.
Skin:
In case of contact, immediately flush skin with plenty of water for
at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes.
Get medical aid immediately. Wash clothing before reuse.
Ingestion:
If swallowed, do NOT induce vomiting. Get medical aid immediately.
If victim is fully conscious, give a cupful of water. Never give
anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
Inhalation:
POISON material. If inhaled, get medical aid immediately. Remove
victim to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration.
If breathing is difficult, give oxygen.
Notes to Physician:
Antidote:
None reported.
**** 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. Use water spray to keep fire-exposed containers
cool. Closed containers may rupture violently when heated. Extremely
flammable liquid and vapor. Vapor may cause flash fire. Approach
fire from upwind to avoid hazardous vapors and toxic decomposition
products. Fight fire from maximum distance or use unmanned hose
holders or monitor nozzles. 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.
Extinguishing Media:
Use water spray, dry chemical, "alcohol resistant" foam, or carbon
dioxide.
**** 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. Remove all sources of ignition.
Use a spark-proof tool. Isolate area and deny entry. Provide
ventilation. Evacuate unnecessary personnel. Use water spray to cool
and disperse vapors, protect personnel, and dilute spills to form
nonflammable mixtures.
**** SECTION 7 - HANDLING and STORAGE ****
Handling:
Wash thoroughly after handling. Ground and bond containers when
transferring material. Use spark-proof tools and explosion proof
equipment. 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. Use and store under
nitrogen. Do not pressurize, cut, weld, braze, solder, drill, grind,
or expose empty containers to heat, sparks or open flames. Use only
with adequate ventilation. Keep away from heat, sparks and flame. Do
not breathe vapor or mist. Pure vapor will be uninhibited and may
polymerize in vents or other confined spaces.
Storage:
Keep away from heat, sparks, and flame. Keep away from sources of
ignition. Store in a tightly closed container. Keep under a nitrogen
blanket. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from
incompatible substances. Refrigerator/flammables. Store protected
from light and air. Separate from oxidizing materials. Inhibitor
level should be checked periodically.
**** 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 exhaust ventilation to keep airborne concentrations below the
permissible exposure limits.
