**** SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION ****

EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Highly flammable. Reacts violently with water. Causes burns.Moisture
sensitive.

Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Vapors may cause eye irritation. Contact with liquid is corrosive
to the eyes and causes severe burns. Lachrymator (substance which
increases the flow of tears). Causes redness and pain. Lachrymator
(substance which increases the flow of tears).
Skin:
Contact with liquid is corrosive and causes severe burns and
ulceration. Causes redness and pain.
Ingestion:
Harmful if swallowed. Causes gastrointestinal tract burns. May cause
corrosion and permanent tissue destruction of the esophagus and
digestive tract. May cause headache. May cause nausea and vomiting.
Inhalation:
Causes severe irritation of upper respiratory tract with coughing,
burns, breathing difficulty, and possible coma. May cause severe
irritation of the respiratory tract with sore throat, coughing,
shortness of breath and delayed lung edema. Causes chemical burns to
the respiratory tract. Inhalation may be fatal as a result of spasm,
inflammation, edema of the larynx and bronchi, chemical pneumonitis
and pulmonary edema.
Chronic:
No information found.

**** 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 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.
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 not breathing, give artificial respiration. If
breathing is difficult, give oxygen.
Notes to Physician:

**** 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 can travel to a source of ignition and flash
back. Will burn if involved in a fire. Water Reactive. Material will
react with water and may release a flammable and/or toxic gas. Wear
appropriate protective clothing to prevent contact with skin and
eyes. Wear a self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) to prevent
contact with thermal decomposition products. Contact with moisture or
water may generate sufficient heat to ignite nearby combustible
materials. Vapors mixed with air can explode when ignited. Flammable
liquid and vapor.
Extinguishing Media:
Do NOT use alcohol foams. Use dry chemical to fight fire. Use carbon
dioxide. DO NOT USE WATER!

**** 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. Remove all sources of ignition.
Use a spark-proof tool.

**** SECTION 7 - HANDLING and STORAGE ****

Handling:
Wash thoroughly after handling. Use with adequate ventilation.
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. Take precautionary measures against
static discharges. Do not allow contact with water. Use only in a
chemical fume hood. Prevent build up of vapors to explosive
concentration.
Storage:
Keep away from heat, sparks, and flame. Keep away from sources of
ignition. Store in a tightly closed container. Keep under a nitrogen
blanket. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from
incompatible substances. Keep away from water. Flammables-area.

**** SECTION 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS, PERSONAL PROTECTION ****

Engineering Controls:
Use process enclosure, local exhaust ventilation, or other
engineering controls to control airborne levels.
Personal Protective Equipment

Eyes:
Not available.
Skin:
Wear appropriate protective gloves and clothing to
prevent skin exposure.
Clothing:
Wear appropriate protective clothing to minimize
contact with skin.
Respirators:
A NIOSH/MSHA approved or European Standard EN 149 air
purifying respirator with an organic vapor cartridge
or canister may be permissible under certain
circumstances where airborne concentrations are
expected. Follow the OSHA respirator regulations
found in 29 CFR 1910.134 or European Standard EN 149.
Always use a NIOSH or European Standard EN 149
approved respirator when necessary.
