**** SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION ****
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Flammable. Repeated exposure may cause skin dryness or cracking.
Vapors may cause drowsiness and dizziness.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Vapors may cause eye irritation. May cause chemical conjunctivitis
and corneal damage.
Skin:
May cause skin irritation. May cause skin sensitization, an allergic
reaction, which becomes evident upon re-exposure to this material.
Prolonged and/or repeated contact may cause defatting of the skin
and dermatitis. 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:
May cause respiratory tract irritation. May cause effects similar to
those described for ingestion. 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. May cause liver and kidney damage. May cause fetal
effects.
**** 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:
Immediately flush skin with plenty of soap and 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:
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 immediately.
Inhalation:
Remove from exposure to fresh air immediately. If not breathing,
give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen.
Get medical aid if cough or other symptoms appear.
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. Water runoff can cause environmental damage. Dike
and collect water used to fight fire. Vapors may form an explosive
mixture with air. Vapors can travel to a source of ignition and
flash back. Combustion generates toxic fumes. Will burn if involved
in a fire. Use water spray to keep fire-exposed containers cool.
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 accumulate static
electrical charges, and may cause ignition of its own vapors.
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. Use water spray to cool fire-exposed
containers. Use foam, dry chemical, or carbon dioxide. 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. Use water
spray to disperse the gas/vapor. Remove all sources of ignition.
Absorb spill using an absorbent, non-combustible material such as
earth, sand, or vermiculite. Do not use combustible materials such as
saw dust. 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. Use with adequate ventilation.
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. Avoid contact with heat, sparks and flame. Avoid ingestion
and inhalation. 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 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.
Personal Protective Equipment
Eyes:
Wear appropriate protective eyeglasses or chemical
safety goggles as described by OSHA's eye and face
protection regulations in 29 CFR 1910.133 or European
Standard EN166.
Skin:
Wear appropriate gloves to prevent skin exposure.
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. Always use
a NIOSH or European Standard EN 149 approved
respirator when necessary.
