 **** SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION ****
 
 EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
 Flammable. Very toxic by inhalation. Irritating to respiratory
 system and skin. Risk of serious damage to eyes. May cause
 sensitization by inhalation and skin contact.Moisture sensitive.
 
 Potential Health Effects
 Eye:
 Causes severe eye irritation.  May result in corneal injury.
 Skin:
 Causes skin irritation. May cause skin sensitization, an allergic
 reaction, which becomes evident upon re-exposure to this material.
 No skin absorption data found.
 Ingestion:
 Aspiration of material into the lungs may cause chemical
 pneumonitis, which may be fatal. Ingestion may cause headache,
 nausea, and vomiting.
 Inhalation:
 May be fatal if inhaled. Causes respiratory tract irritation. May
 cause allergic respiratory reaction.
 Chronic:
 No information found.
 
 **** SECTION 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES ****
 
 Eyes:
 In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for
 at least 15 minutes. Get medical aid immediately.
 Skin:
 In case of contact, immediately flush skin with soap and plenty of
 water. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Get medical aid if
 symptoms occur. Wash clothing before reuse.
 Ingestion:
 If swallowed, do not induce vomiting unless directed to do so by
 medical personnel. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious
 person. Get medical aid.
 Inhalation:
 POISON material. If inhaled, get medical aid immediately. Remove
 victim to fresh air. 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. Vapors may form an explosive mixture with air.
 Vapors can travel to a source of ignition and flash back. Use water
 spray to keep fire-exposed containers cool. Containers may explode
 in the heat of a fire. Flammable liquid and vapor.
 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. 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. Remove all sources of ignition.
 Use a spark-proof tool. Provide ventilation. A vapor suppressing
 foam may be used to reduce vapors. Evacuate unnecessary personnel.
 Approach spill from upwind.
 
 **** SECTION 7 - HANDLING and STORAGE ****
 
 Handling:
 Wash thoroughly after handling. 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. Do not pressurize, cut,
 weld, braze, solder, drill, grind, or expose empty containers to
 heat, sparks or open flames. Keep away from heat, sparks and flame.
 Do not breathe vapor or mist. Use only with adequate ventilation or
 respiratory protection.
 Storage:
 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 below recommended
 exposure limits. Facilities storing or utilizing this material should
 be equipped with an eyewash facility and a safety shower. Use only
 under a chemical fume hood.
 Exposure Limits
 CAS# 693-13-0:
 
 
 Personal Protective Equipment
 
 Eyes:
 Wear chemical splash goggles and face shield.
 Skin:
 Wear appropriate protective gloves to prevent skin
 exposure.
 Clothing:
 Wear appropriate protective clothing to prevent skin
 exposure.
 Respirators:
 Follow the OSHA respirator regulations found in 29
 CFR 1910.134 or European Standard EN 149. Use a
 NIOSH/MSHA or European Standard EN 149 approved
 respirator if exposure limits are exceeded or if
 irritation or other symptoms are experienced.
