**** SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION ****
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Highly flammable. Reacts violently with water. Very toxic by
inhalation and if swallowed. Causes burns. Irritating to skin.
Harmful : danger of serious damage to health by prolonged exposure
through inhalation. Possible risk of impaired fertility. Toxic to
aquatic organisms, may cause long-term adverse effects in the aquatic
environment. Harmful: may cause lung damage if swallowed. Vapours may
cause drowsiness and dizziness.Dangerous for the environment.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Causes mild eye irritation. Causes eye burns. Contact produces
irritation, tearing, and burning pain.
Skin:
Causes skin burns. May be absorbed through the skin in harmful
amounts. Prolonged and/or repeated contact may cause defatting of the
skin and dermatitis. Causes irritation with burning pain, itching,
and redness. Absorbed through the skin.
Ingestion:
Aspiration hazard. May cause gastrointestinal irritation with
nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. Causes gastrointestinal tract burns.
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 adverse effects
of the musculature. Aspiration of material into the lungs may cause
chemical pneumonitis, which may be fatal. May cause central nervous
system depression.
Inhalation:
Causes respiratory tract irritation. Causes chemical burns to the
respiratory tract. May cause abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and
inflammation of the gums and mouth. Exposure produces central nervous
system depression. Vapors may cause dizziness or suffocation.
Exposure may cause dizziness, hallucinations, muscle weakness, visual
disturbances, and nervous system disturbances.
Chronic:
Prolonged or repeated skin contact may cause defatting and
dermatitis. Prolonged or repeated exposure may cause adverse
reproductive effects. Chronic exposure may cause visual
disturbances. Laboratory experiments have resulted in mutagenic
effects. Peripheral neuropathy symptoms include: muscular weakness,
paresthesia, numbing of the hands, feet, legs and arms, unsteadiness,
and difficulty in walking and standing. Repeated exposure may cause
nervous system abnormalities with muscle weakness and damage, motor
incoordination, and sensation disturbances. Chronic exposure produces
peripheral neuropathy.
**** 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. Do NOT allow victim to rub eyes or keep eyes closed. In
case of contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at
least 15 minutes. Get medical aid.
Skin:
Immediately flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes
while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Get medical aid if
irritation develops or persists. 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:
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. Potential for aspiration if swallowed. Get medical aid
immediately. Do not induce vomiting unless directed to do so by
medical personnel. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious
person.
Inhalation:
Get medical aid immediately. Remove from exposure and move to fresh
air immediately. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If
breathing is difficult, give oxygen. 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. For ingestion, the stomach
sould be intubated, aspirated, and lavaged with a slurry of activated
charcoal--protect the airway from aspiration of gastric contents.
Monitor arterial blood gases in cases of severe aspiration.
**** 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. Reacts violently with water giving off flammable gas
which may explode. 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. 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. May accumulate static
electrical charges, and may cause ignition of its own vapors.
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. This liquid floats on water and may travel to
a source of ignition and spread fire.
Extinguishing Media:
For small fires, use water spray, dry chemical, carbon dioxide or
chemical foam. Use foam, dry chemical, or carbon dioxide. This
material is lighter than water and insoluble in water. The fire could
easily be spread by the use of water in an area where the water
cannot be contained. DO NOT USE WATER! Use dry chemical, carbon
dioxide, or appropriate foam. Solid streams of water may be
ineffective and spread material. Water may be ineffective because it
will not cool material below its flash point.
**** 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. Avoid runoff into storm sewers and
ditches which lead to waterways. Clean up spills immediately,
observing precautions in the Protective Equipment section. Scoop up
with a nonsparking tool, then place into a suitable container for
disposal. Remove all sources of ignition. Use a spark-proof tool.
Provide ventilation. A vapor suppressing foam may be used to reduce
vapors. Use only non-sparking tools and equipment.
**** SECTION 7 - HANDLING and STORAGE ****
Handling:
Wash thoroughly after handling. Wash hands before eating. Remove
contaminated clothing and wash before reuse. Use only in a
well-ventilated area. Ground and bond containers when transferring
material. Contents may develop pressure upon prolonged storage. Avoid
contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Do not breathe dust, vapor,
mist, or gas. Do not get in eyes, on skin, or on clothing. Empty
containers retain product residue, (liquid and/or vapor), and can be
dangerous. Take precautionary measures against static discharges.
Keep away from heat, sparks and flame. Do not ingest or inhale. Use
and store under nitrogen. Do not pressurize, cut, weld, braze,
solder, drill, grind, or expose empty containers to heat, sparks or
open flames. Use only with adequate ventilation. Avoid breathing
vapor or mist.
Storage:
Keep away from heat, sparks, and flame. Keep away from heat and
flame. Keep away from sources of ignition. Store in a cool, dry
place. Do not store in direct sunlight. 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. Refrigerator/flammables.
**** 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
adequate general or local explosion-proof ventilation to keep
airborne levels to acceptable levels.
