**** SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION ****
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Highly flammable. Reacts violently with water liberating extremely
flammable gases. Spontaneously flammable in air. Causes burns.
Harmful : danger of serious damage to health by prolonged exposure
through inhalation.Toxic.Corrosive.Water-reactive.Moisture
sensitive.Air sensitive.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Causes severe eye burns. May cause irreversible eye injury.
Skin:
Harmful if absorbed through the skin. Contact with liquid is
corrosive and causes severe burns and ulceration.
Ingestion:
Aspiration hazard. May cause central nervous system depression,
kidney damage, and liver damage. Causes digestive tract burns with
immediate pain, swelling of the throat, convulsions, and possible
coma. Aspiration of material into the lungs may cause chemical
pneumonitis, which may be fatal. May cause corrosion and permanent
tissue destruction of the esophagus and digestive tract.
Inhalation:
Inhalation of high concentrations may cause central nervous system
effects characterized by nausea, headache, dizziness, unconsciousness
and coma. Irritation may lead to chemical pneumonitis and pulmonary
edema. Causes severe irritation of upper respiratory tract with
coughing, burns, breathing difficulty, and possible coma. May cause
effects similar to those described for ingestion.
Chronic:
Chronic inhalation and ingestion may cause effects similar to those
of acute inhalation and ingestion.
**** 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 immediately. Flush skin with plenty of water for at
least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes.
Ingestion:
Do not induce vomiting. If victim is conscious and alert, give 2-4
cupfuls of milk or water. Never give anything by mouth to an
unconscious person. Possible aspiration hazard. Get medical aid
immediately.
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:
Evacuate area and fight fire from a safe distance. Containers can
build up pressure if exposed to heat and/or fire. 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. Combustion
generates toxic fumes. Material is easily ignited if allowed to dry.
Extremely flammable. Material will readily ignite at room
temperature. 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. Water may be ineffective. Material is
lighter than water and a fire may be spread by the use of water. Can
form explosive mixtures at temperatures above the flashpoint.
Extinguishing Media:
Do NOT use water directly on fire. Water may be ineffective. Use
water spray, dry chemical, carbon dioxide, or chemical foam.
**** SECTION 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES ****
General Information: Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated
in Section 8.
Spills/Leaks:
Sweep up or absorb material, then place into a suitable clean, dry,
closed container for disposal. Absorb spill using an absorbent,
non-combustible material such as earth, sand, or vermiculite. Do not
use combustible materials such as sawdust.
**** SECTION 7 - HANDLING and STORAGE ****
Handling:
Wash thoroughly after handling. Remove contaminated clothing and
wash before reuse. Ground and bond containers when transferring
material. Do not get in eyes, on skin, or on clothing. Empty
containers retain product residue, (liquid and/or vapor), and can be
dangerous. Keep container tightly closed. Do not ingest or inhale. Do
not allow contact with water. Use only in a chemical fume hood. Store
and handle protected from air. Do not use if the material has
evaporated to dryness. Do not pressurize, cut, weld, braze, solder,
drill, grind, or expose empty containers to heat, sparks or open
flames.
Storage:
Keep away from heat, sparks, and flame. Keep away from sources of
ignition. Store in a tightly closed container. Keep container closed
to prevent drying out. Keep under a nitrogen blanket. Keep from
contact with oxidizing materials. Store in a cool, dry,
well-ventilated area away from incompatible substances. Keep away
from water. Keep away from organic halogens. Refrigerator/flammables.
Keep containers tightly closed.
**** SECTION 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS, PERSONAL PROTECTION ****
Engineering Controls:
Use adequate general or local explosion-proof ventilation to keep
airborne levels to acceptable levels.
Exposure Limits
CAS# 598-30-1:
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.
