**** SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION ****
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Harmful if swallowed. Toxic by inhalation. Causes severe
burns.Moisture sensitive.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Causes severe eye burns. Lachrymator (substance which increases
the flow of tears).
Skin:
Causes skin burns.
Ingestion:
Harmful if swallowed. Causes gastrointestinal tract burns.
Inhalation:
May cause severe irritation of the respiratory tract with sore
throat, coughing, shortness of breath and delayed lung edema. Causes
chemical burns to the respiratory tract. Inhalation may be fatal as
a result of spasm, inflammation, edema of the larynx and bronchi,
chemical pneumonitis and pulmonary edema. Toxic if inhaled.

Not available.
**** 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.

water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing
and shoes.
Ingestion:
Do NOT induce vomiting and seek IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ADVICE.
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. Combustible liquid.
Extinguishing Media:
Do NOT use water directly on fire. Use foam, dry chemical, or carbon
dioxide.
**** 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. Provide ventilation.
**** SECTION 7 - HANDLING and STORAGE ****
Handling:
Do not breathe dust, vapor, mist, or gas. Do not get in eyes, on
