**** SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION ****
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Highly flammable. Toxic by inhalation and if swallowed. Irritating
to skin. Limited evidence of a carcinogenic effect. Harmful : danger
of serious damage to health by prolonged exposure through inhalation
and if swallowed.Toxic.Cancer suspect agent.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Causes severe eye irritation. May result in corneal injury.
Vapors may cause eye irritation. May cause painful sensitization to
light.
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 be fatal or cause blindness if swallowed. Causes
gastrointestinal irritation with nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. May
cause systemic toxicity with acidosis. May cause liver and kidney
damage. 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.
Inhalation:
Harmful if inhaled. Effects may be delayed. Inhalation of high
concentrations may cause central nervous system effects characterized
by nausea, headache, dizziness, unconsciousness and coma. May cause
liver and kidney damage. May cause narcotic effects in high
concentration. May cause drowsiness, unconsciousness, and central
nervous system depression. Inhalation of high concentrations can lead
to respiratory failure, cardiac arrhythmia, and death. Symptoms
include progressive weakness, prolonged vomiting, delirium, coma, and
possible death.
Chronic:
Not available.
**** 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
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.
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:
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. During a fire, irritating and highly toxic gases may be
generated by thermal decomposition or combustion. Extremely
flammable. Material will readily ignite at room temperature. Can
form explosive mixtures at temperatures above the flashpoint.
Extinguishing Media:
In case of fire, use water, dry chemical, chemical foam, or
alcohol-resistant foam. Use water spray to cool fire-exposed
containers.
**** 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. Remove all sources of ignition.
Provide ventilation.
**** SECTION 7 - HANDLING and STORAGE ****
Handling:
Wash thoroughly after handling. Use only in a well-ventilated area.
Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Empty containers retain
product residue, (liquid and/or vapor), and can be dangerous. Keep
away from heat, sparks and flame. Avoid ingestion and inhalation. 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 from contact
with oxidizing materials. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area
away from incompatible substances.
**** SECTION 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS, PERSONAL PROTECTION ****
Engineering Controls:
Use process enclosure, local exhaust ventilation, or other
engineering controls to control airborne levels.
