**** SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION ****
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Flammable. Harmful in contact with skin and if swallowed. Causes
burns. May cause sensitization by inhalation and skin
contact.Corrosive.Hygroscopic.Lachrymator (substance which increases
the flow of tears).
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Causes eye burns. May result in corneal injury. Causes redness
and pain. Lachrymator (substance which increases the flow of
tears).
Skin:
Harmful if absorbed through the skin. May cause skin sensitization,
an allergic reaction, which becomes evident upon re-exposure to this
material. Contact with the skin may cause severe irritation and
necrosis.
Ingestion:
Harmful if swallowed. May cause severe gastrointestinal tract
irritation with nausea, vomiting and possible burns. May cause
effects similar to those for inhalation exposure.
Inhalation:
Causes respiratory tract irritation. May cause severe allergic
respiratory reaction. Irritation may lead to chemical pneumonitis and
pulmonary edema. May cause liver and kidney damage. Causes chemical
burns to the respiratory tract. May cause heart disturbances,
possibly leading to cardiac arrest and death. May cause neurotoxic
effects including paresthesia.
Chronic:
Prolonged or repeated skin contact may cause defatting and
dermatitis. Repeated exposure may cause allergic respiratory reaction
(asthma).
**** 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. Do NOT allow victim to rub or keep eyes closed.
Skin:
Immediately flush skin with plenty of soap and water for at least 15
minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Get medical
aid if irritation develops or persists. Wash clothing before reuse.
Destroy contaminated shoes.
Ingestion:
Do NOT induce vomiting. 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:
Treat symptomatically and supportively.
**** 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 may form an explosive mixture with air.
Vapors can travel to a source of ignition and flash back. Flammable
Liquid. Can release vapors that form explosive mixtures at
temperatures above the flashpoint. Use water spray to keep
fire-exposed containers cool. Containers may explode in the heat of
a fire.
Extinguishing Media:
For small fires, use dry chemical, carbon dioxide, water spray or
alcohol-resistant foam. For large fires, use water spray, fog, or
alcohol-resistant foam. Use foam, dry chemical, or carbon dioxide.
**** SECTION 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES ****
General Information: Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated
in Section 8.
Spills/Leaks:
Wear a self contained breathing apparatus and appropriate Personal
protection. (See Exposure Controls, Personal Protection section).
Scoop up with a nonsparking tool, then place into a suitable
container for disposal. Remove all sources of ignition. Absorb spill
using an absorbent, non-combustible material such as earth, sand, or
vermiculite. Do not use combustible materials such as saw dust. Use
a spark-proof tool.
**** SECTION 7 - HANDLING and STORAGE ****
Handling:
Wash thoroughly after handling. Remove contaminated clothing and
wash before reuse. Use with adequate ventilation. Use spark-proof
tools and explosion proof equipment. Do not breathe dust, vapor,
mist, or gas. 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.
Use only in a chemical fume hood. 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. Store in a cool, dry place.
Store in a tightly closed container. Store in a cool, dry,
well-ventilated area away from incompatible substances.
Flammables-area. Store protected from moisture.
**** SECTION 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS, PERSONAL PROTECTION ****
Engineering Controls:
Use adequate general or local exhaust ventilation to keep airborne
concentrations below the permissible exposure limits.
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. Always use
a NIOSH or European Standard EN 149 approved
respirator when necessary.
