**** SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION ****
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Extremely flammable. Contact with water liberates extremely
flammable gases. Spontaneously flammable in air. May form explosive
peroxides. Causes burns.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Causes eye burns.
Skin:
Causes skin burns.
Ingestion:
Causes gastrointestinal tract burns.
Inhalation:
Causes chemical burns to the respiratory tract. Vapors may cause
dizziness or suffocation.
Chronic:
Chronic exposure to benzene has been associated with an increased
incidence of leukemia and multiple myeloma (tumor composed of cells
of the type normally found in the bone marrow). Immunodepressive
effects have been reported.
**** 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
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. Flush skin with plenty of water for at
least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes.
Wash clothing before reuse. Destroy contaminated 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. Get medical aid immediately.
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 breathing has ceased apply
artificial respiration using oxygen and a suitable mechanical device
such as a bag and a mask.
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. 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. 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. Extremely flammable liquid and
vapor. Containers may explode in the heat of a fire. May ignite or
explode on contact with steam or moist air. Will be easily ignited by
heat, sparks or flame.
Extinguishing Media:
Use dry sand or earth to smother fire. For small fires, use dry
chemical, carbon dioxide, water spray or alcohol-resistant foam. For
large fires, use water spray, fog, or alcohol-resistant foam. Do NOT
use water directly on fire. Use water spray to cool fire-exposed
containers. Water may be ineffective. Do NOT use carbon dioxide. DO
NOT USE WATER! Do NOT use straight streams of water. Contact
professional fire-fighters immediately.
**** 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. Remove all
sources of ignition. Use a spark-proof tool. Provide ventilation. Do
not expose spill to water. A vapor suppressing foam may be used to
reduce vapors.
**** SECTION 7 - HANDLING and STORAGE ****
Handling:
Wash thoroughly after handling. Remove contaminated clothing and
wash before reuse. Do not allow water to get into the container
because of violent reaction. 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. Keep away from
heat, sparks and flame. Do not ingest or inhale. Use with adequate
ventilation. 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 water. Refrigerator/flammables. Keep containers
tightly closed.
**** 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.
