**** SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION ****
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Highly flammable. May form explosive peroxides. Irritating to eyes,
respiratory system and skin.Hygroscopic (absorbs moisture from the
air).Air sensitive.Light sensitive.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
May cause eye irritation. Causes moderate eye irritation. Causes
redness and pain.
Skin:
May cause skin irritation. Harmful if absorbed through the skin.
Prolonged and/or repeated contact may cause defatting of the skin and
dermatitis. May be absorbed through the skin. Causes severe skin
irritation and possible burns.
Ingestion:
Aspiration hazard. May cause irritation of the digestive tract.
Symptoms may include: headache, excitement, fatigue, nausea,
vomiting, stupor, and coma. May cause central nervous system
depression, characterized by excitement, followed by headache,
dizziness, drowsiness, and nausea. Advanced stages may cause
collapse, unconsciousness, coma and possible death due to respiratory
failure. Aspiration of material into the lungs may cause chemical
pneumonitis, which may be fatal. May be harmful if swallowed. May be
harmful if swallowed.
Inhalation:
Inhalation of high concentrations may cause central nervous system
effects characterized by nausea, headache, dizziness, unconsciousness
and coma. May cause respiratory tract irritation. Vapors may cause
dizziness or suffocation. May be absorbed through the lungs. Causes
irritation of the mucous membrane and upper respiratory tract.
Inhalation may cause irritation of the nose and throat, vomiting,
irregular respiration, dizziness, drowsiness, unconsciousness and
possible death due to respiratory paralysis.
Chronic:
Prolonged or repeated skin contact may cause defatting and
dermatitis. Prolonged or repeated exposure can cause psychic
abnormalities such as anxiety, depression and excitability.
Laboratory experiments have resulted in mutagenic effects. May cause
kidney damage. Prolonged exposure to high vapor concentrations may
cause eye injury.
**** SECTION 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES ****
Eyes:
Flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes,
occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Immediately 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 immediately. Flush skin with plenty of water for at
least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes.
Immediately flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes
while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Get medical aid if
irritation develops or persists. Wash clothing before reuse.
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:
Remove from exposure and move to fresh air immediately. If not
breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult,
give oxygen. Get medical aid. 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:
Persons with kidney disease, chronic respiratory disease, liver
disease, or skin disease may be at increased risk from exposure to
this substance. Alcoholic beverage consumption may enhance the toxic
effects of this substance. 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. Vapors may form an explosive mixture with air.
Vapors can travel to a source of ignition and flash back. Extremely
flammable. Material will readily ignite at room temperature. 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. Containers may explode in the heat of a fire.
May form explosive peroxides. Vapors may be heavier than air. They
can spread along the ground and collect in low or confined areas.
May be ignited by heat, sparks, and flame. Will be easily ignited by
heat, sparks or flame. Containers may explode when heated. May
re-ignite after fire is extinguished.
Extinguishing Media:
For small fires, use dry chemical, carbon dioxide, water spray or
alcohol-resistant foam. Use water spray to cool fire-exposed
containers. Water may be ineffective. For large fires, use water
spray, fog or alcohol-resistant foam. Do NOT use straight streams of
water. For small fires, use carbon dioxide, dry chemical, dry sand,
or alcohol-resistant foam. Cool containers with flooding quantities
of water until well after fire is out.
**** 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. Absorb spill using an absorbent, non-combustible
material such as earth, sand, or vermiculite. Do not use combustible
materials such as sawdust. Use a spark-proof tool. Place under an
inert atmosphere. A vapor suppressing foam may be used to reduce
vapors. Water spray may reduce vapor but may not prevent ignition in
closed spaces.
**** SECTION 7 - HANDLING and STORAGE ****
Handling:
Wash thoroughly after handling. Remove contaminated clothing and
wash before reuse. Use only in a well-ventilated area. Ground and
bond containers when transferring material. Use spark-proof tools and
explosion proof equipment. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Do not
breathe dust, vapor, mist, or gas. Do not get in eyes, on skin, or on
clothing. Empty containers retain product residue, (liquid and/or
vapor), and can be dangerous. Take precautionary measures against
static discharges. Keep container tightly closed. Keep away from
heat, sparks and flame. Avoid ingestion and inhalation. Do not
ingest or inhale. Store protected from light. Handle under an inert
atmosphere. Store protected from air. If peroxide formation is
suspected, do not open or move container. 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. Do not store near combustible materials. Do not store in
direct sunlight. Store in a tightly closed container. Store in a
cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible substances.
Flammables-area. Keep refrigerated. (Store below 4C/39F.) Do not
expose to air. Store protected from moisture. Store protected from
light. Store under an inert atmosphere. Keep away from oxidizing
agents.
**** 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 general or local exhaust
ventilation to keep airborne concentrations below the permissible
exposure limits. Use adequate general or local explosion-proof
ventilation to keep airborne levels to acceptable levels.
