**** SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION ****
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Contact with combustible material may cause fire.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
May cause eye irritation. May cause lacrimation (tearing), blurred
vision, and photophobia. May cause chemical conjunctivitis and
corneal damage.
Skin:
May cause skin irritation and possible burns.
Ingestion:
May cause irritation of the digestive tract. May cause nausea,
vomiting, abdominal pain, and increased salivation.
Inhalation:
May cause respiratory tract irritation. Vapors may cause dizziness
or suffocation. Olfactory fatigue may occur. Can produce delayed
pulmonary edema.
Chronic:
No information found.
**** SECTION 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES ****
Eyes:
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. Wash clothing
before reuse.
Ingestion:
Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical
aid. Do NOT induce vomiting. If conscious and alert, rinse mouth and
drink 2-4 cupfuls of milk or 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:
Antidote:
None reported.
**** 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. Will burn
if involved in a fire. Use water spray to keep fire-exposed
containers cool. Containers may explode in the heat of a fire. Dust
can be an explosion hazard when exposed to heat or flame. Flammable
solid. May burn rapidly with flare burning effect. May re-ignite
after fire is extinguished.
Extinguishing Media:
Use water spray to cool fire-exposed containers. Water may be
ineffective. Do NOT use straight streams of water. For large fires,
use water spray, fog or regular foam. Contact professional
fire-fighters immediately. For small fires, use dry chemical, carbon
dioxide, sand, earth, water spray or regular foam. Cool containers
with flooding quantities of water until well after fire is out.
**** SECTION 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES ****
General Information: Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated
in Section 8.
Spills/Leaks:
Scoop up with a nonsparking tool, then place into a suitable
container for disposal. Avoid generating dusty conditions. Remove all
sources of ignition. Provide ventilation. A vapor suppressing foam
may be used to reduce vapors.
**** SECTION 7 - HANDLING and STORAGE ****
Handling:
Wash thoroughly after handling. Remove contaminated clothing and
wash before reuse. Use only in a well-ventilated area. Minimize dust
generation and accumulation. Ground and bond containers when
transferring material. Use spark-proof tools and explosion proof
equipment. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Empty
containers retain product residue, (liquid and/or vapor), and can be
dangerous. 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 container closed when
not in use. 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 explosion-proof ventilation to keep airborne levels to
acceptable levels.
