**** SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION ****
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Irritating to eyes, respiratory system and skin. Contact with
combustible material may cause fire.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Causes eye irritation. May cause permanent corneal opacification.
May cause chemical conjunctivitis.
Skin:
Causes skin irritation.
Ingestion:
May cause gastrointestinal irritation with nausea, vomiting and
diarrhea. May cause cardiac disturbances. May cause central nervous
system depression.
Inhalation:
Causes respiratory tract irritation. May cause cardiac
abnormalities. Inhalation at high concentrations may cause CNS
depression and asphixiation. May cause acute pulmonary edema,
asphyxia, chemical pneumonitis, and upper airway obstruction caused
by edema.
Chronic:
Effects may be delayed.
**** 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:
Get medical aid. Flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15
minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash clothing
before reuse.
Ingestion:
Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical
aid. Do NOT induce vomiting. If conscious and alert, rinse mouth and
drink 2-4 cupfuls of milk or water.
Inhalation:
Remove from exposure and move to fresh air immediately. 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:
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. During a fire, irritating and highly toxic gases
may be generated by thermal decomposition or combustion. Use water
with caution and in flooding amounts. Oxidizer. Greatly increases the
burning rate of combustible materials. Some oxidizers may react
explosively with hydrocarbons(fuel). May accelerate burning if
involved in a fire. Containers may explode when heated. Runoff from
fire control or dilution water may cause pollution.
Extinguishing Media:
Contact professional fire-fighters immediately. For small fires, do
NOT use dry chemicals, carbon dioxide, halon or foams. USE WATER
ONLY. For large fires flood fire with water from a distance.
**** SECTION 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES ****
General Information: Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated
in Section 8.
Spills/Leaks:
Clean up spills immediately, observing precautions in the Protective
Equipment section. Sweep up or absorb material, then place into a
suitable clean, dry, closed container for disposal. Avoid generating
dusty conditions. Remove all sources of ignition. Provide
ventilation. Do not use combustible materials such as paper towels
to clean up spill.
**** SECTION 7 - HANDLING and STORAGE ****
Handling:
Wash thoroughly after handling. Minimize dust generation and
accumulation. Keep container tightly closed. Avoid contact with
clothing and other combustible materials. Do not get on skin or in
eyes. Avoid ingestion and inhalation. Use with adequate ventilation.
Wash clothing before reuse.
Storage:
Keep away from heat, sparks, and flame. Do not store near
combustible materials. Store in a tightly closed container. Store in
a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible substances.
**** SECTION 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS, PERSONAL PROTECTION ****
Engineering Controls:
Local exhaust ventilation may be necessary to control any air
contaminants to within their TLVs during the use of this product.
Facilities storing or utilizing this material should be equipped
with an eyewash facility and a safety shower.
