**** SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION ****
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Harmful by inhalation. Dangerous for the ozone layer.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Causes mild eye irritation. Vapors may cause eye irritation.
Skin:
Causes skin irritation. Prolonged or repeated contact may dry/defat
the skin and cause irritation.
Ingestion:
Causes gastrointestinal irritation with nausea, vomiting and
diarrhea. Low hazard for usual industrial handling.
Inhalation:
Inhalation of high concentrations may cause central nervous system
effects characterized by nausea, headache, dizziness, unconsciousness
and coma. May cause narcotic effects in high concentration. Causes
irritation of the mucous membrane and upper respiratory tract.
Chronic:
Prolonged or repeated skin contact may cause defatting and
dermatitis. Exposure to high concentrations may cause central nervous
system depression.
**** 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.
Skin:
In case of contact, flush skin with plenty of water. Remove
contaminated clothing and shoes. Get medical aid if irritation
develops and persists. Wash clothing before reuse.
Ingestion:
Potential for aspiration if swallowed. Get medical aid immediately.
Do not induce vomiting unless directed to do so by medical
personnel. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
Inhalation:
If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial
respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical aid.
Notes to Physician:
Alcoholic beverage consumption may enhance the toxic effects of this
substance.
**** 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. During a fire, irritating and highly toxic gases
may be generated by thermal decomposition or combustion. Use water
spray to keep fire-exposed containers cool. Substance is
nonflammable. Vapors may accumulate in confined spaces Methyl
chloroform burns only in excess oxygen or in air if a strong source
of ignition is present. No flash point in conventional closed
tester; however, vapors in containers can explode if subjected to
high energy source.
Extinguishing Media:
Use extinguishing media most appropriate for the surrounding fire.
**** 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. Clean up spills immediately,
observing precautions in the Protective Equipment section. Provide
ventilation. Approach spill from upwind.
**** SECTION 7 - HANDLING and STORAGE ****
Handling:
Wash thoroughly after handling. Remove contaminated clothing and
wash before reuse. Use with adequate ventilation. Avoid contact with
eyes, skin, and clothing. Keep container tightly closed. Avoid
breathing vapor.
Storage:
Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible
substances. Do not store in aluminum containers.
**** 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.

alcohol, or nitroethane) are often added to increase the stability
of the solvent & prevent corrosion of metal parts.
