**** SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION ****
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Flammable. Harmful by inhalation, in contact with skin and if
swallowed. May impair fertility. May cause harm to the unborn child.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
May cause eye irritation. May cause transient corneal injury.
Causes redness and pain.
Skin:
May cause skin irritation. Harmful if absorbed through the skin.
Causes redness and pain.
Ingestion:
May cause irritation of the digestive tract. May cause
gastrointestinal irritation with nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. May
be harmful if swallowed. May cause effects similar to those of acute
inhalation. Ingestion of large amounts may cause CNS depression.
Inhalation:
Causes respiratory tract irritation. May cause liver and kidney
damage. May cause anemia. May cause drowsiness, unconsciousness, and
central nervous system depression. Aspiration may lead to pulmonary
edema. Central nervous system effects may include confusion, ataxia,
vertigo, tinnitus, weakness, disorientation, lethargy, drowsiness,
and finally coma. Vapors may cause dizziness or suffocation. May
cause burning sensation in the chest.
Chronic:
Chronic inhalation and ingestion may cause effects similar to those
of acute inhalation and ingestion. Prolonged or repeated exposure
may cause adverse reproductive effects.
**** 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.
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 unless directed to do so by
medical personnel. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious
person. Get medical aid.
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:
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. Vapors may form an explosive mixture with air.
Vapors can travel to a source of ignition and flash back. During a
fire, irritating and highly toxic gases may be generated by thermal
decomposition or combustion. Will burn if involved in a fire.
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. Flammable liquid and vapor. May form explosive peroxides.
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 water spray to cool fire-exposed
containers. Water may be ineffective. Do NOT use straight streams of
water.
**** 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. A vapor suppressing
foam may be used to reduce vapors.
**** 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. 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 under a nitrogen
blanket. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from
incompatible substances. Flammables-area. Store under an inert
atmosphere. Containers should be dated when opened and tested
periodically for the presence of peroxides.
**** SECTION 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS, PERSONAL PROTECTION ****
Engineering Controls:
Use process enclosure, local exhaust ventilation, or other
engineering controls to control airborne levels below recommended
exposure limits. Facilities storing or utilizing this material should
be equipped with an eyewash facility and a safety shower. 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.
