**** SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION ****
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Flammable. Harmful by inhalation and in contact with skin.
Irritating to skin.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
May cause severe eye irritation. May result in corneal injury.
Vapors may cause eye irritation.
Skin:
Prolonged and/or repeated contact may cause irritation and/or
dermatitis. Exposure may cause irritation characterized by redness,
dryness, and inflammation.
Ingestion:
Harmful if swallowed. May cause central nervous system depression,
kidney damage, and liver damage. Symptoms may include: headache,
excitement, fatigue, nausea, vomiting, stupor, and coma. 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:
Harmful if inhaled. Inhalation of high concentrations may cause
central nervous system effects characterized by nausea, headache,
dizziness, unconsciousness and coma. Inhalation of vapor may cause
respiratory tract irritation. Prolonged exposure may result in
dizziness and general weakness. Irritation may lead to chemical
pneumonitis and pulmonary edema. May cause liver and kidney damage.
May cause effects similar to those described for ingestion. May
cause narcotic effects in high concentration.
Chronic:
Chronic exposure to organic solvents has been associated with
various neurotoxic effects including permanent brain and nervous
system damage.
**** 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:
Immediately 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.
Ingestion:
If victim is conscious and alert, give 2-4 cupfuls of milk or water.
Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Treat
symptomatically and supportively.
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. Vapors can travel to a source of ignition and flash
back. Flammable Liquid. Can release vapors that form explosive
mixtures at temperatures above the flashpoint.
Extinguishing Media:
In case of fire, use water, dry chemical, chemical foam, or
alcohol-resistant 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.
Provide ventilation.
**** SECTION 7 - HANDLING and STORAGE ****
Handling:
Wash thoroughly after handling. Remove contaminated clothing and
wash before reuse. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Keep
container tightly closed. Keep away from heat, sparks and flame.
Avoid ingestion and inhalation. Use with adequate ventilation.
Storage:
Keep away from heat, sparks, and flame. Keep away from sources of
ignition. Keep from contact with oxidizing materials. Store in a
cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible substances.
**** SECTION 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS, PERSONAL PROTECTION ****
Engineering Controls:
Use adequate general or local exhaust ventilation to keep airborne
concentrations below the permissible exposure limits.
Exposure Limits
CAS# 133-20-7:
CAS# 61990-73-6:
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 protective 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. Use a
NIOSH/MSHA or European Standard EN 149 approved
respirator if exposure limits are exceeded or if
irritation or other symptoms are experienced.
