**** SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION ****

EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Extremely flammable. May form explosive peroxides. Harmful by
inhalation and if swallowed. Irritating to skin. May cause cancer.
Harmful : danger of serious damage to health by prolonged exposure if
swallowed. Harmful to aquatic organisms; may cause long-term adverse
effects in the aquatic environment.Cancer suspect agent.

Potential Health Effects
Eye:
May cause eye irritation. At high concentrations may cause
lacrimation (tearing) and irritation.
Skin:
May cause skin irritation. May be absorbed through the skin in
harmful amounts. May cause skin sensitization, an allergic reaction,
which becomes evident upon re-exposure to this material.
Ingestion:
Harmful if swallowed. May cause gastrointestinal irritation with
nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. May cause liver damage. Possible
aspiration hazard.
Inhalation:
Harmful if inhaled. Irritation may lead to chemical pneumonitis and
pulmonary edema. Vapors may cause dizziness or suffocation. May
cause nausea, dizziness, and headache. Inhalation may cause
respiratory tract irritation, oppression in the chest, dyspnea
(labored breathing), central nervous system depression, and temporary
visual disturbances. Exposure to high concentrations may produce
narcosis, nausea and loss of consciousness.
Chronic:
Chronic exposure may cause liver damage.

**** 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, flush skin with plenty of water. Remove
contaminated clothing and shoes. Get medical aid if irritation
develops and persists. 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:

**** 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. Use water spray to keep fire-exposed containers
cool. Containers may explode in the heat of a fire. Will be easily
ignited by heat, sparks or flame. Extremely flammable liquid and
vapor. Vapor may cause flash fire. 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:
Water may be ineffective. Use dry chemical or foam.

**** 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. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and 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. Avoid ingestion and inhalation. If peroxide
formation is suspected, do not open or move container. Do not
pressurize, cut, weld, braze, solder, drill, grind, or expose empty
containers to heat, sparks or open flames. Do not distill since this
removes peroxide-inhibitors. Use only with adequate ventilation.
Storage:
Keep away from heat, sparks, and flame. 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. Regularly check inhibitor levels to maintain
peroxide levels below 1%. After opening, purge container with
nitrogen before reclosing. Periodically test for peroxide formation
on long-term storage. Addition of water or appropriate reducing
materials will lessen peroxide formation.

**** 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
ventilation to keep airborne concentrations low. Ventilation fans
and other electrical service must be non-sparking and have an
explosion-proof design. Use only under a chemical fume hood. Utilize
a closed system process where feasible.
Personal Protective Equipment

Eyes:
Wear chemical goggles.
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.

**** SECTION 10 - STABILITY AND REACTIVITY ****

Chemical Stability:
May form peroxides in the absence of inhibitors. May discolor on
exposure to air. Under normal storage conditions, peroxidizable
compounds can form and accumulate peroxides which may explode when
subjected to heat or shock. This material is most hazardous when
peroxide levels are concentrated by distillation or evaporation.
Conditions to Avoid:
Ignition sources, excess heat, evaporating to near dryness, prolonged
exposure to air.
Incompatibilities with Other Materials:
Strong oxidizing agents, strong acids, oxygen, peroxides.
Hazardous Decomposition Products:
Carbon monoxide, irritating and toxic fumes and gases, carbon
dioxide.
Hazardous Polymerization: Has not been reported
