**** SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION ****
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Flammable. Causes burns. Irritating to respiratory
system.Corrosive.Light sensitive.Air sensitive.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Causes eye burns. Causes redness and pain. May cause chemical
conjunctivitis and corneal damage.
Skin:
Causes skin burns. Contact with liquid is corrosive and causes
severe burns and ulceration. Causes redness and pain. May be harmful
if absorbed through the skin.
Ingestion:
Causes gastrointestinal tract burns. May cause perforation of the
digestive tract. May cause hemorrhaging of the digestive tract. May
cause corrosion and permanent tissue destruction of the esophagus
and digestive tract. Ingestion of large amounts may cause CNS
depression. May cause systemic effects.
Inhalation:
May cause irritation of the respiratory tract with burning pain in
the nose and throat, coughing, wheezing, shortness of breath and
pulmonary 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.
Aspiration may lead to pulmonary edema. Vapors may cause dizziness
or suffocation.
Chronic:
Chronic inhalation and ingestion may cause effects similar to those
of acute inhalation and ingestion. May cause reproductive and fetal
effects. Effects may be delayed. Laboratory experiments have
resulted in mutagenic effects. Chronic exposure may cause kidney
damage. Repeated or prolonged exposure may cause erosion and
discoloration of the teeth.
**** SECTION 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES ****
Eyes:
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. 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:
Remove from exposure and move to fresh air immediately. 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:
**** 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. Will burn if involved in a fire. Use
water spray to keep fire-exposed containers cool. Reacts with most
metals to form highly flammable hydrogen gas which can form
explosive mixtures with air. Containers may explode in the heat of a
fire. Flammable liquid and vapor. Vapors may be heavier than air.
They can spread along the ground and collect in low or confined
areas.
Extinguishing Media:
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. Use water spray to cool fire-exposed
containers. Water may be ineffective. Do NOT use straight streams of
water.
**** 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. Clean up spills immediately,
observing precautions in the Protective Equipment section. Remove all
sources of ignition. Use a spark-proof tool. Provide ventilation.
Place under an inert atmosphere. 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. Use only in a well-ventilated area. Ground and
bond containers when transferring material. Use spark-proof tools and
explosion proof equipment. 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. Store
protected from light. Handle under an inert atmosphere. Store
protected from air. Discard contaminated shoes. Keep away from
strong bases and metals. 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. Keep container closed when not in use. Store in a tightly
closed container. Keep from contact with oxidizing materials. Store
in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible
substances. Flammables-area. Do not store in metal containers. Keep
away from strong bases. Do not expose to air. Store in glass
containers. Store protected from light. Store under an inert
atmosphere.
**** 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.
