**** SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION ****
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Flammable.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Causes eye irritation. May cause chemical conjunctivitis and
corneal damage.
Skin:
Causes skin irritation. Prolonged and/or repeated contact may cause
defatting of the skin and dermatitis. May cause cyanosis of the
extremities.
Ingestion:
Causes 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.
Inhalation:
Causes respiratory tract irritation. Irritation may lead to chemical
pneumonitis and pulmonary edema. Exposure produces central nervous
system depression. Aspiration may lead to pulmonary edema. Vapors
may cause dizziness or suffocation. May cause burning sensation in
the chest.
Chronic:
Prolonged or repeated skin contact may cause defatting and
dermatitis.
**** 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:
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. Get medical aid.
Inhalation:
Remove from exposure and move to fresh air immediately. If not
breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult,
give oxygen. Get medical aid. 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:
**** 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. 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. Water may be
ineffective. Material is lighter than water and a fire may be spread
by the use of water. Containers may explode in the heat of a fire.
Flammable liquid and vapor. Vapors may be heavier than air. They
can spread along the ground and collect in low or confined areas.
May polymerize explosively when involved in a fire.
Extinguishing Media:
Use water spray to cool fire-exposed containers. Water may be
ineffective. Water may spread fire. Do NOT use straight streams of
water. For large fires, use water spray, fog or regular foam. For
small fires, use dry chemical, carbon dioxide, water spray or regular
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. Avoid runoff into storm sewers and
ditches which lead to waterways. Clean up spills immediately,
observing precautions in the Protective Equipment section. Remove all
sources of ignition. Use a spark-proof tool. 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 with adequate ventilation. Ground and bond
containers when transferring material. Use spark-proof tools and
explosion proof equipment. Empty containers retain product residue,
(liquid and/or vapor), and can be dangerous. Keep away from heat,
sparks and flame. Do not get on skin or in eyes. 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, sparks, and flame. Keep away from sources of
ignition. Store in a tightly closed container. Store in a cool, dry,
well-ventilated area away from incompatible substances.
Flammables-area.
**** SECTION 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS, PERSONAL PROTECTION ****
Engineering Controls:
Use adequate general or local exhaust ventilation to keep airborne
concentrations below the permissible exposure limits. Use adequate
general or local explosion-proof ventilation to keep airborne levels
to acceptable levels.
Exposure Limits

safety goggles as described by OSHA's eye and face
protection regulations in 29 CFR 1910.133 or European
Standard EN166.
Skin:
Wear impervious gloves.
Clothing:
Wear appropriate protective clothing to prevent skin
exposure.
Respirators:
Follow the OSHA respirator regulations found in 29
CFR 1910.134 or European Standard EN 149. Use a
NIOSH/MSHA or European Standard EN 149 approved
respirator if exposure limits are exceeded or if
irritation or other symptoms are experienced.
