**** SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION ****
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Highly flammable. Reacts violently with water liberating extremely
flammable gases. Causes burns. Very toxic to aquatic organisms, may
cause long-term adverse effects in the aquatic environment. Harmful:
may cause lung damage if swallowed. Vapours may cause drowsiness and
dizziness.Dangerous for the environment.Water-reactive.Highly
flammable.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Causes eye burns.
Skin:
Causes skin burns. Prolonged and/or repeated contact may cause
defatting of the skin and dermatitis.
Ingestion:
Causes gastrointestinal tract burns. Aspiration of material into the
lungs may cause chemical pneumonitis, which may be fatal.
Inhalation:
Inhalation of high concentrations may cause central nervous system
effects characterized by nausea, headache, dizziness, unconsciousness
and coma. Causes chemical burns to the respiratory tract.
Chronic:
Prolonged or repeated skin contact may cause dermatitis.
**** 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.
Skin:
Get medical aid. Get medical aid immediately. Immediately flush skin
with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while removing
contaminated clothing and shoes. If water-reactive products are
embedded in the skin, no water should be applied. The embedded
products should be covered with a light oil.
Ingestion:
Do not induce vomiting. Get medical aid immediately. 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:
Get medical aid immediately. Remove from exposure and move to fresh
air immediately. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If
breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Do NOT use mouth-to-mouth
resuscitation.
Notes to Physician:
Treat symptomatically and supportively.
**** 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. Water
Reactive. Material will react with water and may release a flammable
and/or toxic gas. Use water spray to keep fire-exposed containers
cool. Flammable liquid and vapor. May re-ignite after fire is
extinguished. Vapors are heavier than air and may travel to a source
of ignition and flash back. Vapors can spread along the ground and
collect in low or confined areas. This liquid floats on water and
may travel to a source of ignition and spread fire.
Extinguishing Media:
Use approved class D extinguishing agents or smother with dry sand,
clay, or sodium bicarbonate. Contact professional fire-fighters
immediately. DO NOT USE WATER, CO2, OR FOAM DIRECTLY ON FIRE ITSELF.
**** 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. Do
not expose spill to water. A vapor suppressing foam may be used to
reduce vapors.
**** SECTION 7 - HANDLING and STORAGE ****
Handling:
Ground and bond containers when transferring material. Use
spark-proof tools and explosion proof equipment. 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. Do not allow contact with water. Use only in a
chemical fume hood. Do not pressurize, cut, weld, braze, solder,
drill, grind, or expose empty containers to heat, sparks or open
flames. Keep away from heat, sparks and flame.
Storage:
Keep away from sources of ignition. Store in a cool, dry place.
Store in a tightly closed container. Flammables-area. Corrosives
area. Water free area. Store under nitrogen.
**** 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
ventilation to keep airborne concentrations low. Use adequate
general or local explosion-proof ventilation to keep airborne levels
to acceptable levels.
