**** SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION ****
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Highly flammable. Harmful : danger of serious damage to health by
prolonged exposure through inhalation.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Causes mild eye irritation. Causes redness and pain. May cause
blurred vision, tearing, and conjunctivitis.
Skin:
Causes irritation with burning pain, itching, and redness. May cause
blistering of the skin. Absorbed through the skin.
Ingestion:
Aspiration hazard. May cause gastrointestinal irritation with
nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. Aspiration of material into the lungs
may cause chemical pneumonitis, which may be fatal. May cause central
nervous system effects. Aspiration can cause asphyxia, brain damage,
and cardiac arrest. May cause cardiac sensitization.
Inhalation:
Causes respiratory tract irritation. Exposure produces central
nervous system depression. Aspiration may cause respiratory swelling
and pneumonitis. Inhalation of high concentrations may cause
narcotic effects. Vapors may cause dizziness or suffocation. Exposure
may cause vertigo, hallucinations, fatigue, muscle weakness, visual
disturbances, nervous system disturbances, coughing, chest pains,
difficulty in breathing, lung irritation, gastrointestinal
disturbances, and edema which may be fatal.
Chronic:
Prolonged or repeated skin contact may cause defatting and
dermatitis. Prolonged or repeated exposure may cause adverse
reproductive effects. May cause fetal effects. Chronic exposure may
cause visual disturbances. Laboratory experiments have resulted in
mutagenic effects. 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.
Skin:
Get medical aid. Immediately flush skin with plenty of water for at
least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes.
Wash clothing before reuse.
Ingestion:
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. Do NOT induce
vomiting. If conscious and alert, rinse mouth and drink 2-4 cupfuls
of milk or water.
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:
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:
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. Use water spray to keep fire-exposed
containers cool. Extremely flammable liquid and vapor. Water may be
ineffective. Material is lighter than water and a fire may be spread
by the use of water. Vapors may be heavier than air. They can
spread along the ground and collect in low or confined areas. Will be
easily ignited by heat, sparks or flame. Containers may explode if
exposed to fire.
Extinguishing Media:
For small fires, use dry chemical, carbon dioxide, water spray or
alcohol-resistant foam. Water may be ineffective. Water may spread
fire. If water is the only media available, use in flooding amounts.
For large fires, use water spray, fog or alcohol-resistant foam. Do
NOT use straight streams of water. Contact professional
fire-fighters immediately. 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. 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. Provide ventilation. 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. Use only in a well-ventilated area. Ground and
bond containers when transferring material. Avoid contact with eyes,
skin, and clothing. Do not breathe dust, vapor, mist, or gas. 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. Do
not pressurize, cut, weld, braze, solder, drill, grind, or expose
empty containers to heat, sparks or open flames.
Storage:
Keep away from heat 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. Use adequate general or
local explosion-proof ventilation to keep airborne levels to
acceptable levels.
