**** SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION ****
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Highly flammable. Reacts violently with water liberating extremely
flammable gases. Spontaneously flammable in air. Causes burns.
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.Moisture sensitive.Air
sensitive.Dangerous for the environment.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Causes eye burns.
Skin:
Causes skin burns.
Ingestion:
Causes gastrointestinal tract burns. Aspiration of material into the
lungs may cause chemical pneumonitis, which may be fatal.
Inhalation:
Harmful if inhaled. May cause irritation of the respiratory tract
with burning pain in the nose and throat, coughing, wheezing,
shortness of breath and pulmonary edema. Causes chemical burns to
the respiratory tract. Inhalation may be fatal as a result of spasm,
inflammation, edema of the larynx and bronchi, chemical pneumonitis
and pulmonary edema. Inhalation of vapors may cause drowsiness and
dizziness.
Chronic:
Prolonged or repeated skin contact may cause defatting and
dermatitis. Peripheral neuropathy symptoms include: muscular
weakness, paresthesia, numbing of the hands, feet, legs and arms,
unsteadiness, and difficulty in walking and standing. Chronic
exposure produces peripheral neuropathy.
**** 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 immediately.
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. Get medical aid immediately.
If victim is fully conscious, give a cupful of water. Never give
anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
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:
As in any fire, wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in
pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and full
protective gear. Material can spontaneously ignite (pyrophoric) when
exposed to air at normal or slightly elevated temperatures. Water
Reactive. Material will react with water and may release a flammable
and/or toxic gas. Containers may explode in the heat of a fire.
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:
Use water spray to cool fire-exposed containers. Use water spray,
dry chemical, carbon dioxide, or appropriate foam. DO NOT use water
directly on this material or violent reaction may result.
**** 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. Isolate area and deny entry. Do not get
water on spilled substances or inside containers. Spills may ignite
spontaneously if solvent evaporates.
**** SECTION 7 - HANDLING and STORAGE ****
Handling:
Do not allow water to get into the container because of violent
reaction. Use spark-proof tools and explosion proof equipment. Do
not breathe dust, vapor, mist, or gas. Do not get in eyes, on skin,
or on clothing. Take precautionary measures against static
discharges. Use only in a chemical fume hood. Store and handle
protected from air.
Storage:
Keep away from sources of ignition. Store in a tightly closed
container. Store in a dry area. Keep under a nitrogen blanket.
Refrigerator/flammables.
**** 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 exhaust ventilation to keep airborne concentrations below the
permissible exposure limits.
