**** SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION ****
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Highly flammable. Irritating to eyes and respiratory system.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Low vapor concentrations may cause a temporary visual disturbance
known as 'blue haze' or 'halo vision'. Causes severe eye irritation
and possible burns. Contact with the eyes may cause corneal damage.
May cause chemical conjunctivitis.
Skin:
Harmful if absorbed through the skin. Continued contact can cause
tissue necrosis. Causes skin irritation and possible burns.
Ingestion:
Harmful if swallowed. Causes gastrointestinal irritation with
nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. Ingestion may cause severe burns of
the mouth and stomach.
Inhalation:
May cause asthmatic attacks due to allergic sensitization of the
respiratory tract. May cause severe irritation of the respiratory
tract with possible burns. Vapors may cause dizziness or suffocation.
Can produce delayed pulmonary edema.
Chronic:
Prolonged or repeated skin contact may cause dermatitis. Effects may
be delayed. Chronic exposure may cause lung damage. Prolonged
exposure may cause liver, kidney, and heart damage.
**** SECTION 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES ****
Eyes:
Get medical aid immediately. Do NOT allow victim to rub eyes or keep
eyes closed. Extensive irrigation with water is required (at least 30
minutes).
Skin:
Get medical aid immediately. Immediately flush skin with plenty of
water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing
and shoes. Discard contaminated clothing in a manner which limits
further exposure. Destroy contaminated shoes.
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:
Treat symptomatically and supportively. Persons with kidney disease,
chronic respiratory disease, liver disease, or skin disease may be at
increased risk from exposure to this substance. This product causes
effects similar to those of ammonia and is highly injurous to all
tissues. Effects may be delayed.
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. Water runoff can cause environmental damage. Dike
and collect water used to fight fire. Vapors may form an explosive
mixture with air. Vapors can travel to a source of ignition and
flash back. 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. Extremely flammable liquid and
vapor. Containers may explode in the heat of a fire. Will be easily
ignited by heat, sparks or flame.
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. Use water spray to cool fire-exposed
containers. Water may be ineffective. Do NOT use straight streams of
water. Use water spray, dry chemical, carbon dioxide, or appropriate
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. 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. Follow all
MSDS and label precautions even after container is emptied because
they may contain product residues. Ground and bond containers when
transferring material. Do not breathe dust, vapor, mist, or gas. 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. Keep away from heat, sparks and flame. Do
not ingest or inhale. 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 away from sources of
ignition. Do not store in direct sunlight. 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. Keep away from acids. Do not store in aluminum
containers. Store in iron, steel, or glass containers.
**** SECTION 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS, PERSONAL PROTECTION ****
Engineering Controls:
Use explosion-proof ventilation equipment. 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.
