**** SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION ****
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Highly flammable. May cause cancer. Toxic : danger of serious damage
to health by prolonged exposure through inhalation, contact with skin
and if swallowed.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Causes eye irritation. May cause slight transient injury.
Skin:
Causes skin irritation. May be absorbed through the skin in harmful
amounts. Direct contact with the liquid may cause erythema (redness)
and vesiculation (blistering). Prolonged or repeated contact has been
associated with the development of a dry scaly dermatitis or with
secondary infections.
Ingestion:
Aspiration hazard. Poison by ingestion. May cause central nervous
system depression, characterized by excitement, followed by
headache, dizziness, drowsiness, and nausea. Advanced stages may
cause collapse, unconsciousness, coma and possible death due to
respiratory failure. May cause effects similar to those for
inhalation exposure. Aspiration of material into the lungs may cause
chemical pneumonitis, which may be fatal. Harmful or fatal if
swallowed
Inhalation:
May cause respiratory tract irritation. May cause adverse central
nervous system effects including headache, convulsions, and possible
death. May cause drowsiness, unconsciousness, and central nervous
system depression. Vapor harmful. Central nervous system effects may
include confusion, ataxia, vertigo, tinnitus, weakness,
disorientation, lethargy, drowsiness, and finally coma. Exposure may
lead to irreversible bone marrow injury. Exposure may lead to
aplastic anemia.
Chronic:
Possible cancer hazard based on tests with laboratory animals.
Prolonged or repeated exposure may cause adverse reproductive
effects. May cause bone marrow abnormalities with damage to blood
forming tissues. Chronic exposure has been associated with an
increased incidence of leukemia and multiple myelomas.
Immunodepressive effects have been reported. Animal studies have
reported fetotoxicity (growth retardation) and teratogenicity
(exencephaly, angulated ribs, dilated brain ventricles).
**** 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
immediately.
Skin:
Get medical aid immediately. Immediately flush skin with plenty of
soap and water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated
clothing and shoes. Wash clothing before reuse.
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. Possible aspiration hazard. 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. Do NOT use mouth-to-mouth
resuscitation.
Notes to Physician:
**** SECTION 5 - FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES ****
General Information:
Containers can build up pressure if exposed to heat and/or fire. 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. Extremely flammable. Material will
readily ignite at room temperature. Use water spray to keep
fire-exposed containers cool. Water may be ineffective. Material is
lighter than water and a fire may be spread by the use of water.
Containers may explode in the heat of a fire. Vapors may be heavier
than air. They can spread along the ground and collect in low or
confined areas. Vapors may form an explosive mixture with air.
Extinguishing Media:
Use water spray to cool fire-exposed containers. Water may be
ineffective. Do NOT use straight streams of water. For large fires,
use water spray, fog or regular foam. For small fires, use dry
chemical, carbon dioxide, water spray or regular foam. Cool
containers with flooding quantities of water until well after fire is
out.
**** SECTION 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES ****
General Information: Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated
in Section 8.
Spills/Leaks:
Use water spray to dilute spill to a non-flammable mixture. Avoid
runoff into storm sewers and ditches which lead to waterways. Clean
up spills immediately, observing precautions in the Protective
Equipment section. Use water spray to disperse the gas/vapor. 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. A vapor suppressing foam
may be used to reduce vapors.
**** 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. Avoid contact with heat, sparks and flame. 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 heat, sparks, and flame. Keep away from sources of
ignition. Store in a tightly closed container. Keep from contact
with oxidizing materials. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area
away from incompatible substances. Flammables-area.
**** 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. Ventilation fans and
other electrical service must be non-sparking and have an
explosion-proof design. Use only under a chemical fume hood.
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 29CFR
1910.134 or European Standard EN 149. Always use a
NIOSH or European Standard EN 149 approved respirator
when necessary.
