**** SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION ****
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Highly flammable. Irritating to eyes and skin. May cause cancer.
Toxic to aquatic organisms, may cause long-term adverse effects in
the aquatic environment. Harmful: may cause lung damage if
swallowed. Repeated exposure may cause skin dryness or cracking.
Vapours may cause drowsiness and dizziness.Highly flammable.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Causes eye irritation. May cause conjunctivitis and corneal
inflammation.
Skin:
Exposure may cause irritation characterized by redness, dryness, and
inflammation. Prolonged exposure may produce blisters.
Ingestion:
Aspiration hazard. May cause gastrointestinal irritation with
nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. 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:
Inhalation of high concentrations may cause central nervous system
effects characterized by nausea, headache, dizziness, unconsciousness
and coma. High vapor concentrations may cause drowsiness. Aspiration
may cause respiratory swelling and pneumonitis.
Chronic:
Prolonged or repeated skin contact may cause dermatitis. Chronic
exposure to vapors may produce polyneuropathy. May cause kidney
damage. Potential cancer hazard.
**** 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.
Skin:
Get medical aid. Immediately flush skin with plenty of water for at
least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes.
Wash clothing before reuse.
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:
Get medical aid immediately. Remove from exposure and move to fresh
air immediately. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. 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:
Gastric lavage by qualified medical personnel may be considered
depending on quantity of material ingested.
**** 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. Vapor may cause flash
fire. Vapors may be heavier than air. They can spread along the
ground and collect in low or confined areas. Containers may explode
when heated.
Extinguishing Media:
Use water spray to cool fire-exposed containers. Water may be
ineffective. This material is lighter than water and insoluble in
water. The fire could easily be spread by the use of water in an
area where the water cannot be contained. Do NOT use straight streams
of water. For small fires, use dry chemical, carbon dioxide, water
spray or regular foam. Cool containers with flooding quantities of
water until well after fire is out. For large fires, use water spray,
fog or regular foam.
**** 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. Avoid runoff into storm sewers and
ditches which lead to waterways. Clean up spills immediately,
observing precautions in the Protective Equipment section. Remove all
sources of ignition. Use a spark-proof tool. A vapor suppressing foam
may be used to reduce vapors. Water spray may reduce vapor but may
not prevent ignition in closed spaces.
**** SECTION 7 - HANDLING and STORAGE ****
Handling:
Wash thoroughly after handling. Use with adequate ventilation.
Ground and bond containers when transferring material. 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. Prevent build up of vapors to explosive
concentration. Do not pressurize, cut, weld, braze, solder, drill,
grind, or expose empty containers to heat, sparks or open flames.
Storage:
Keep away from sources of ignition. Store in a tightly closed
container. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from
incompatible substances. Flammables-area.
**** SECTION 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS, PERSONAL PROTECTION ****
Engineering Controls:
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.
