**** SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION ****

EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Highly flammable. Harmful by inhalation. Dangerous for the ozone
layer.Hygroscopic (absorbs moisture from the air).

Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Causes severe eye irritation. Lachrymator (substance which
increases the flow of tears).
Skin:
Causes moderate skin irritation. Causes redness and pain.
Ingestion:
May cause headache. May cause nausea and vomiting.
Inhalation:
Harmful if inhaled. Inhalation of high concentrations may cause
central nervous system effects characterized by nausea, headache,
dizziness, unconsciousness and coma. High vapor concentrations may
cause drowsiness. May cause dizziness, incoordination, and
unconsciousness.
Chronic:
Prolonged or repeated skin contact may cause defatting and
dermatitis. May cause liver and kidney damage. Prolonged exposure may
produce a narcotic effect. May cause lung damage.

**** 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. Flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15
minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes.
Ingestion:
Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Possible
aspiration hazard. Get medical aid. Wash mouth out with water.
Inhalation:
Remove from exposure and move to fresh air immediately. If not
breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult,
give oxygen. Get medical aid.
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 can travel to a source of ignition and flash
back. Wear appropriate protective clothing to prevent contact with
skin and eyes. Wear a self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) to
prevent contact with thermal decomposition products.
Extinguishing Media:
Use water spray to cool fire-exposed containers. 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:
Absorb spill with inert material (e.g. vermiculite, sand or earth),
then place in suitable container. Provide ventilation.

**** SECTION 7 - HANDLING and STORAGE ****

Handling:
Avoid breathing dust, vapor, mist, or gas. Avoid contact with skin
and eyes.
Storage:
Keep away from heat, sparks, and flame. Store in a cool, dry place.
Store in a tightly closed container. Do not store in aluminum
containers.

**** SECTION 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS, PERSONAL PROTECTION ****

Engineering Controls:
Use adequate general or local exhaust ventilation to keep airborne
concentrations below the permissible exposure limits.
Personal Protective Equipment

Eyes:
Not available.
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. Always use
a NIOSH or European Standard EN 149 approved
respirator when necessary.
