**** SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION ****
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Flammable. Harmful by inhalation, in contact with skin and if
swallowed. May impair fertility. May cause harm to the unborn child.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
May cause eye irritation. May cause chemical conjunctivitis and
corneal damage.
Skin:
May cause skin irritation. May be absorbed through the skin. May
cause irritation and dermatitis. May cause cyanosis of the
extremities.
Ingestion:
May cause gastrointestinal irritation with nausea, vomiting and
diarrhea. 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. Ingestion of large
amounts may cause CNS depression.
Inhalation:
Inhalation of high concentrations may cause central nervous system
effects characterized by nausea, headache, dizziness, unconsciousness
and coma. May cause respiratory tract irritation. Aspiration may lead
to pulmonary edema. Vapors may cause dizziness or suffocation. May
cause burning sensation in the chest.
Chronic:
Chronic inhalation and ingestion may cause effects similar to those
of acute inhalation and ingestion. Prolonged or repeated skin
contact may cause defatting and dermatitis. Chronic exposure may
cause reproductive disorders and teratogenic effects.
**** SECTION 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES ****
Eyes:
Flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes,
occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Get medical aid
immediately.
Skin:
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. 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. Get medical aid.
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:
**** 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. Flammable Liquid.
Can release vapors that form explosive mixtures at temperatures
above the flashpoint. Use water spray to keep fire-exposed
containers cool. Containers may explode in the heat of a 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:
For small fires, use dry chemical, carbon dioxide, water spray or
alcohol-resistant foam. For large fires, use water spray, fog, or
alcohol-resistant foam. In case of fire, use water, dry chemical,
chemical foam, or alcohol-resistant foam. Use water spray to cool
fire-exposed containers. Water may be ineffective. Do NOT use
straight streams of water.
**** 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. Clean up spills immediately,
observing precautions in the Protective Equipment section. 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. Remove contaminated clothing and
wash before reuse. Ground and bond containers when transferring
material. Use spark-proof tools and explosion proof equipment. Avoid
contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Empty containers retain
product residue, (liquid and/or vapor), and can be dangerous. Keep
container tightly closed. Keep away from heat, sparks and flame. 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 sources of
ignition. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from
incompatible substances. Flammables-area. Store protected from light
and air. Containers should be dated when opened and tested
periodically for the presence of peroxides. Should crystals form in a
peroxidizable liquid, peroxidation may have occurred and the product
should be considered extremely dangerous. In this instance, the
container should only be opened remotely by professionals. All
peroxidizable substances should be stored away from heat and light
and be protected from ignition sources.
**** SECTION 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS, PERSONAL PROTECTION ****
Engineering Controls:
Use explosion-proof ventilation equipment. 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.
