**** SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION ****
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Highly flammable. Toxic by inhalation and if swallowed.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Causes eye irritation. May result in corneal injury. Vapors may
cause eye irritation. May cause painful sensitization to light.
Skin:
Causes skin irritation. Prolonged and/or repeated contact may cause
irritation and/or dermatitis.
Ingestion:
Harmful if swallowed. May be fatal or cause blindness if swallowed.
May cause central nervous system depression, kidney damage, and
liver damage. Causes gastrointestinal irritation with nausea,
vomiting and diarrhea. May cause systemic toxicity with acidosis.
May cause liver and kidney damage.
Inhalation:
Harmful if inhaled. Causes respiratory tract irritation. Prolonged
exposure may result in dizziness and general weakness. May cause
liver and kidney damage. May cause visual impairment and possible
permanent blindness. May cause effects similar to those described
for ingestion. May cause narcotic effects in high concentration. May
cause drowsiness, unconsciousness, and central nervous system
depression.
Chronic:
Chronic inhalation and ingestion may cause effects similar to those
of acute inhalation and ingestion.
**** 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:
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.
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.
Vapors may form an explosive mixture with air. Extremely flammable.
Material will readily ignite at room temperature. Use water spray to
keep fire-exposed containers cool. 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 with adequate ventilation. Avoid
contact with eyes, skin, and 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.
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 adequate general or local exhaust ventilation to keep airborne
concentrations below the permissible exposure limits.
