**** 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.Hygroscopic (absorbs moisture from the air).

Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Causes eye burns. Low vapor concentrations may cause a temporary
visual disturbance known as 'blue haze' or 'halo vision'.
Lachrymator (substance which increases the flow of tears).
Skin:
Harmful if absorbed through the skin. Causes skin burns. May cause
skin sensitization, an allergic reaction, which becomes evident upon
re-exposure to this material.
Ingestion:
Causes gastrointestinal tract burns. May cause liver and kidney
damage. May be harmful if swallowed.
Inhalation:
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 asthma.
Chronic:
May cause liver and kidney damage. Repeated exposure may cause
allergic respiratory reaction (asthma).

**** 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:
If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial
respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical aid.
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. During a fire, irritating and highly toxic gases
may be generated by thermal decomposition or combustion. Use water
spray to keep fire-exposed containers cool. Flammable liquid and
vapor. 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:
Solid streams of water may be ineffective and spread material. 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. Provide ventilation. Evacuate unnecessary
personnel. Approach spill from upwind. 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. Remove contaminated clothing and
wash before reuse. 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. Keep away from heat, sparks and flame. Do not
pressurize, cut, weld, braze, solder, drill, grind, or expose empty
containers to heat, sparks or open flames. Do not breathe vapor or
mist. Use only with adequate ventilation or respiratory protection.
Storage:
Keep away from sources of ignition. Store in a tightly closed
container. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from
incompatible substances. Flammables-area. Store protected from
moisture. Do not store in copper or copper alloy storage vessels.

**** 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.

respirator if exposure limits are exceeded or if
irritation or other symptoms are experienced.
