**** SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION ****
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
May form explosive peroxides. Irritating to eyes and skin.The
toxicological properties of this material have not been fully
investigated.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Causes eye irritation.
Skin:
Causes skin irritation. The toxicological properties of this
material have not been fully investigated.
Ingestion:
May cause irritation of the digestive tract. The toxicological
properties of this substance have not been fully investigated.
Inhalation:
May cause respiratory tract irritation. The toxicological properties
of this substance have not been fully investigated.
Chronic:
No information found.
**** SECTION 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES ****
Eyes:
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 not
breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult,
give oxygen. Get medical aid.
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. May form
explosive peroxides. Vapors may be heavier than air. They can
spread along the ground and collect in low or confined areas.
Extinguishing Media:
Use agent most appropriate to extinguish fire. Use water spray, dry
chemical, carbon dioxide, or appropriate 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. Avoid runoff into storm sewers and
ditches which lead to waterways. Clean up spills immediately,
observing precautions in the Protective Equipment section. Isolate
area and deny entry. Provide ventilation. Place under an inert
atmosphere.
**** SECTION 7 - HANDLING and STORAGE ****
Handling:
Remove contaminated clothing and wash before reuse. Use with
adequate ventilation. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing.
Keep container tightly closed. Avoid ingestion and inhalation. Wash
clothing before reuse. If peroxide formation is suspected, do not
open or move container. Avoid contact with air and sunlight. Unused
chemicals should not be returned to the container. Do not distill
since this removes peroxide-inhibitors.
Storage:
Do not store in direct sunlight. Store in a cool, dry,
well-ventilated area away from incompatible substances. Deep freeze
(below -20C). Regularly check inhibitor levels to maintain peroxide
levels below 1%. Do not break the seal on the container until it is
needed. Label the container with the date it was first opened.
Long-term storage is not recommended.
**** 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
ventilation to keep airborne concentrations low.
Exposure Limits
CAS# 19327-37-8:
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.

**** SECTION 10 - STABILITY AND REACTIVITY ****
Chemical Stability:
On long term storage, substances with similar functional groups form
explosive peroxides. Explosive peroxides may form on concentration.
Peroxides can be detonated by friction, impact, or heating. Tends to
form explosive peroxides; especially when anhydrous. Peroxide
formation may occur in containers that have been opened and remain
in storage.
Conditions to Avoid:
Incompatible materials, exposure to air, excess heat, strong
oxidants.
Incompatibilities with Other Materials:
Oxidizing agents.
Hazardous Decomposition Products:
Nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, irritating and toxic fumes and
gases, carbon dioxide, nitrogen.
Hazardous Polymerization: Has not been reported.
