**** SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION ****
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Highly flammable. Reacts violently with water. Irritating to eyes,
respiratory system and skin.Moisture sensitive.Highly
flammable.Water-reactive.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Causes eye irritation. When substance becomes wet or comes in
contact with moisture of the mucous membranes, it will cause
irritation. May cause chemical conjunctivitis and corneal damage.
Skin:
Contact with skin causes irritation and possible burns, especially
if the skin is wet or moist. May cause cyanosis of the extremities.
Ingestion:
May cause gastrointestinal irritation with nausea, vomiting and
diarrhea. The toxicological properties of this substance have not
been fully investigated. Ingestion of large amounts may cause CNS
depression.
Inhalation:
Causes respiratory tract irritation. The toxicological properties of
this substance have not been fully investigated. Aspiration may lead
to pulmonary edema. Vapors may cause dizziness or suffocation.
Olfactory fatigue may occur. May cause burning sensation in the
chest.
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
immediately.
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. If water-reactive products are embedded in the skin, no
water should be applied. The embedded products should be covered
with a light oil.
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. Wash mouth out with water.
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.
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. Water
Reactive. Material will react with water and may release a flammable
and/or toxic gas. Use water spray to keep fire-exposed containers
cool. Dust can be an explosion hazard when exposed to heat or flame.
Flammable solid. May ignite or explode on contact with steam or moist
air. May burn rapidly with flare burning effect. May re-ignite after
fire is extinguished. Will be easily ignited by heat, sparks or
flame. May re-ignite after fire is extinguished. Containers may
explode if exposed to fire.
Extinguishing Media:
Use foam, dry chemical, or carbon dioxide. Water may be ineffective.
If water is the only media available, use in flooding amounts. DO NOT
USE WATER! Do NOT get water inside containers. Do NOT use straight
streams of water. Contact professional fire-fighters immediately.
Cool containers with flooding quantities of water until well after
fire is out.
**** SECTION 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES ****
General Information: Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated
in Section 8.
Spills/Leaks:
Vacuum or sweep up material and place into a suitable disposal
container. Avoid runoff into storm sewers and ditches which lead to
waterways. Clean up spills immediately, observing precautions in the
Protective Equipment section. Scoop up with a nonsparking tool, then
place into a suitable container for disposal. Avoid generating dusty
conditions. Remove all sources of ignition. Use a spark-proof tool.
Provide ventilation. Do not expose spill to water. Do not get water
inside containers.
**** SECTION 7 - HANDLING and STORAGE ****
Handling:
Do not allow water to get into the container because of violent
reaction. Minimize dust generation and accumulation. Ground and bond
containers when transferring material. Use spark-proof tools and
explosion proof equipment. Avoid breathing dust, vapor, mist, or
gas. 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.
Avoid ingestion and inhalation. Do not allow contact with water. Use
only in a chemical fume hood. Wash clothing before reuse. Do not
pressurize, cut, weld, braze, solder, drill, grind, or expose empty
containers to heat, sparks or open flames. Keep from contact with
moist air and steam.
Storage:
Keep away from sources of ignition. Store in a cool, dry place.
Store in a tightly closed container. Keep away from water.
Flammables-area. Store protected from moisture.
**** 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 ventilation to keep airborne
concentrations low. Use only under a chemical fume hood.
Exposure Limits
CAS# 14593-46-5:
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.
