**** SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION ****
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Highly flammable. Reacts violently with water liberating extremely
flammable gases. Causes severe 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.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Causes eye burns.
Skin:
Causes skin burns.
Ingestion:
Causes gastrointestinal tract burns. May cause lung damage.
Inhalation:
Harmful if inhaled. Causes chemical burns to the respiratory tract.
Inhalation of vapors may cause drowsiness and dizziness.
Chronic:
May impair fertility.
**** 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.
Skin:
Get medical aid immediately. Immediately flush skin with plenty of
water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing
and shoes.
Ingestion:
Do not induce vomiting. Get medical aid immediately.
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.
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. Will burn if involved in a fire. Water Reactive.
Material will react with water and may release a flammable and/or
toxic gas. Flammable liquid and vapor.
Extinguishing Media:
Do NOT use halogenated agents. Use dry sand, dry chemical, soda ash
or lime. DO NOT USE WATER 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. Do not expose spill to water.
**** 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 and store under nitrogen. Do not allow contact with
water. Use only in a chemical fume hood.
Storage:
Keep away from sources of ignition. Store in a cool, dry place.
Store in a tightly closed container. Flammables-area. Corrosives
area. Water free area. Store protected from moisture. Store under
nitrogen.
**** 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.
