**** SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION ****
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Highly flammable. Causes burns. Harmful by inhalation. Possible risk
of harm to the unborn child. Very toxic to aquatic organisms, may
cause long-term adverse effects in the aquatic environment. Vapours
may cause drowsiness and dizziness.Moisture sensitive.Lachrymator
(substance which increases the flow of tears).
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Causes eye burns. Lachrymator (substance which increases the flow
of tears).
Skin:
Causes skin burns.
Ingestion:
Aspiration hazard. May cause effects similar to those for inhalation
exposure. Aspiration of material into the lungs may cause chemical
pneumonitis, which may be fatal. May be harmful if swallowed. Causes
digestive tract irritation with possible burns.
Inhalation:
May cause liver and kidney damage. May cause cardiac sensitization
and possible failure. Causes chemical burns to the respiratory tract.
May cause drowsiness, unconsciousness, and central nervous system
depression.
Chronic:
Chronic exposure to organic solvents has been associated with
various neurotoxic effects including permanent brain and nervous
system damage.
**** 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.
Skin:
Flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while
removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash clothing before
reuse. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Destroy contaminated
shoes.
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. Get medical aid immediately.
Inhalation:
Get medical aid immediately. Remove from exposure and move to fresh
air immediately. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Do NOT use
mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. If breathing has ceased apply
artificial respiration using oxygen and a suitable mechanical device
such as a bag and a mask.
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 may form an explosive mixture with air.
Vapors can travel to a source of ignition and flash back. Containers
may explode in the heat of a fire. Flammable liquid and vapor. May be
ignited by heat, sparks, and flame. Substance may react with water,
and may release corrosive and/or toxic gases.
Extinguishing Media:
Do NOT use water directly on fire. 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:
Absorb spill with inert material (e.g. vermiculite, sand or earth),
then place in suitable container. Remove all sources of ignition.
Provide ventilation. Do not get water inside containers. A vapor
suppressing foam may be used to reduce vapors. Water spray may reduce
vapor but may not prevent ignition in closed spaces.
**** SECTION 7 - HANDLING and STORAGE ****
Handling:
Wash thoroughly after handling. Use only in a well-ventilated area.
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 ingest or
inhale. 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 cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from
incompatible substances. Store protected from moisture. Storage at
2-8C is recommended.
**** SECTION 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS, PERSONAL PROTECTION ****
Engineering Controls:
Use adequate general or local exhaust ventilation to keep airborne
concentrations below the permissible exposure limits.
