**** SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION ****
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Highly flammable. Contact with water liberates extremely flammable
gases. Spontaneously flammable in air. Causes burns.Corrosive.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Causes eye burns. When substance becomes wet or comes in contact
with moisture of the mucous membranes, it will cause irritation. May
cause lacrimation (tearing), blurred vision, and photophobia. May
cause chemical conjunctivitis and corneal damage.
Skin:
Causes skin burns. May cause dermatitis. May cause cyanosis of the
extremities. May cause skin rash (in milder cases), and cold and
clammy skin with cyanosis or pale color.
Ingestion:
May cause severe and permanent damage to the digestive tract. Causes
gastrointestinal tract burns. May cause perforation of the digestive
tract. Ingestion of large amounts may cause CNS depression. May
cause systemic effects. May cause nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea,
possibly with blood.
Inhalation:
Causes chemical burns to the respiratory tract. Aspiration may lead
to pulmonary edema. Vapors may cause dizziness or suffocation. May
cause systemic effects. 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. Do NOT allow victim to rub eyes or keep eyes closed.
Extensive irrigation with water is required (at least 30 minutes).
Skin:
Get medical aid immediately. Wash clothing before reuse. Destroy
contaminated shoes. 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 immediately. Do NOT induce vomiting. If conscious and alert,
rinse mouth and drink 2-4 cupfuls of milk or water.
Inhalation:
Get medical aid immediately. Remove from exposure and move to fresh
air immediately. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Do not use
mouth-to-mouth resuscitation if victim ingested or inhaled the
substance; induce artificial respiration with the aid of a pocket
mask equipped with a one-way valve or other proper respiratory
medical device.
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. Reacts violently with water giving off flammable
gas which may explode. Vapors may form an explosive mixture with
air. Vapors can travel to a source of ignition and flash back. During
a fire, irritating and highly toxic gases may be generated by thermal
decomposition or combustion. 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. 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 re-ignite after fire is
extinguished. Runoff to sewer may create fire or explosion hazard.
Extinguishing Media:
Do NOT use halocarbons and sodium bicarbonate. Do NOT get water
inside containers. Contact professional fire-fighters immediately.
Cool containers with flooding quantities of water until well after
fire is out. DO NOT USE WATER OR FOAM. Use DRY sand, sodium chloride
powder, graphite powder, copper powder or Lith-X powder.
**** SECTION 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES ****
General Information: Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated
in Section 8.
Spills/Leaks:
Avoid runoff into storm sewers and ditches which lead to waterways.
Avoid generating dusty conditions. Remove all sources of ignition.
Provide ventilation. Do not get water on spilled substances or inside
containers. Cover with dry earth, dry sand, or other non-combustible
material followed with plastic sheet to minimize spreading and
contact with water.
**** SECTION 7 - HANDLING and STORAGE ****
Handling:
Wash thoroughly after handling. Remove contaminated clothing and
wash before reuse. Use only in a well-ventilated area. 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. Do not get in eyes, on skin, or on clothing. Empty
containers retain product residue, (liquid and/or vapor), and can be
dangerous. Keep away from heat, sparks and flame. Do not ingest or
inhale. Do not allow contact with water. Discard contaminated shoes.
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 heat, sparks, and flame. Water free area. Keep
containers tightly closed. Store in a cool, dry area away from
incompatible substances.
**** SECTION 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS, PERSONAL PROTECTION ****
Engineering Controls:
Facilities storing or utilizing this material should be equipped
with an eyewash facility and a safety shower. Use adequate general or
local explosion-proof ventilation to keep airborne levels to
acceptable levels.
Exposure Limits
CAS# 17476-04-9:
Personal Protective Equipment

Wear appropriate protective clothing to prevent skin
exposure.
Respirators:
A respiratory protection program that meets OSHA's 29
CFR 1910.134 and ANSI Z88.2 requirements or European
Standard EN 149 must be followed whenever workplace
conditions warrant respirator use.
