**** SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION ****
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Toxic by inhalation and if swallowed.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
May cause eye irritation. May cause eye burns.
Skin:
Causes skin irritation. May be absorbed through the skin in harmful
amounts. Prolonged and/or repeated contact may cause irritation
and/or dermatitis.
Ingestion:
May cause irritation of the digestive tract. Poison by ingestion.
May cause liver and kidney damage. May cause central nervous system
depression.
Inhalation:
Harmful if inhaled. May cause respiratory tract irritation. 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. May cause reproductive and fetal
effects.
**** 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. Immediately flush skin with plenty of
soap and water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated
clothing and shoes.
Ingestion:
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. Induce vomiting by giving one teaspoon of Syrup of
Ipecac.
Inhalation:
Get medical aid immediately. Remove from exposure 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.
Extinguishing Media:
For small fires, 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. Remove all sources of ignition. Use a
spark-proof tool.
**** SECTION 7 - HANDLING and STORAGE ****
Handling:
Wash thoroughly after handling. Avoid contact with skin and eyes.
Avoid contact with heat, sparks and flame. Avoid ingestion and
inhalation. Use only in a chemical fume hood.
Storage:
Keep away from heat, sparks, and flame. Keep away from sources of
ignition. Store in a cool, dry place. Keep from contact with
oxidizing materials.
**** SECTION 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS, PERSONAL PROTECTION ****
Engineering Controls:
Use only under a chemical fume hood.
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:
