**** SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION ****
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Highly flammable. Irritating to eyes and skin. Toxic : danger of
serious damage to health by prolonged exposure through inhalation.
Possible risk of impaired fertility. Possible risk of harm to the
unborn child.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
May cause severe eye irritation.
Skin:
Causes skin irritation. May be absorbed through the skin in harmful
amounts. Prolonged and/or repeated contact may cause defatting of
the skin and dermatitis. Dermatitis and vesiculation may result from
skin contact with the vapor or liquid. Chronic exposure may result in
sensitization.
Ingestion:
May cause digestive tract disturbances. May cause effects similar to
those for inhalation exposure. Can cause nervous system damage.
Ingestion may cause convulsions, seizures and possible coma.
Inhalation:
May cause liver and kidney damage. Intoxication can involve all
parts of the central and peripheral nervous systems including damage
to the nerves with paresthesias, muscle weakness, unsteady gait,
tremors, Exposure may accelerate the development or worsen, coronary
heart disease.
Chronic:
Chronic ingestion may cause liver damage. Prolonged or repeated
exposure can cause psychic abnormalities such as anxiety, depression
and excitability. May cause reproductive and fetal effects. Chronic
exposure may cause visual disturbances. Repeated exposure may cause
central and peripheral nervous system damage and digestive tract
disturbances. Chronic exposure may cause coronary heart disease.
**** 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
immediately. Do NOT allow victim to rub or keep eyes closed.
Skin:
Get medical aid. Flush skin with plenty of soap and water for at
least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash
clothing before reuse. Destroy contaminated shoes.
Ingestion:
Do NOT induce vomiting. If victim is conscious and alert, give 2-4
cupfuls of milk or water. Get medical aid immediately.
Inhalation:
Remove from exposure to fresh air immediately. If not breathing,
give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen.
Get medical aid. 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:
Effects may be delayed. Observe patient.
**** 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. Combustion
generates toxic fumes. Extremely flammable. Material will readily
ignite at room temperature. Use water spray to keep fire-exposed
containers cool. Containers may explode in the heat of a fire.
Vapors may be heavier than air. They can spread along the ground and
collect in low or confined areas.
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. Do NOT use straight streams of water. 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:
Avoid runoff into storm sewers and ditches which lead to waterways.
Clean up spills immediately, observing precautions in the Protective
Equipment section. Scoop up with a nonsparking tool, then place into
a suitable container for disposal. Use water spray to disperse the
gas/vapor. Remove all sources of ignition. Absorb spill using an
absorbent, non-combustible material such as earth, sand, or
vermiculite. Do not use combustible materials such as saw dust.
Provide ventilation. A vapor suppressing foam may be used to reduce
vapors.
**** 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. Avoid contact with 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 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:
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.
Personal Protective Equipment
Eyes:
Wear appropriate protective eyeglasses or chemical
safety goggles as described by OSHA's eye and face
protection regulations in 29 CFR 1910.133 or European
Standard EN166.
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 29CFR
1910.134 or European Standard EN 149. Always use a
NIOSH or European Standard EN 149 approved respirator
when necessary.
