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

EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Highly flammable. Toxic by inhalation, in contact with skin and if
swallowed.Air sensitive.Light sensitive.Lachrymator (substance which
increases the flow of tears).

Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Causes severe eye irritation. Lachrymator (substance which
increases the flow of tears). May cause chemical conjunctivitis and
corneal damage.
Skin:
Causes severe skin irritation. May be fatal if absorbed through the
skin. May cause cyanosis of the extremities.
Ingestion:
Harmful if swallowed. Ingestion of large amounts may cause CNS
depression. Causes gastrointestinal tract irritation. May cause
burning sensations, coughing, wheezing, laryngitis, shortness of
breath and headache.
Inhalation:
Exposure produces central nervous system depression. Aspiration may
lead to pulmonary edema. Vapors may cause dizziness or suffocation.
Harmful if inhaled. Inhalation may cause burning sensation,
increased respiratory rate, bronchial constriction, choking and
coughing.
Chronic:
Effects may be delayed.

**** 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 eyes or keep eyes closed.
Skin:
Get medical aid immediately. Immediately flush skin with plenty of
water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing
and shoes. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes.
Ingestion:
Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical
aid immediately. Do NOT induce vomiting. If conscious and alert,
rinse mouth and drink 2-4 cupfuls of milk or water.
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 victim ingested or inhaled the
substance; induce artificial respiration with the aid of a pocket
mask equipped with a one-way valve or other proper respiratory
medical device.
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 may form an explosive mixture with air.
Vapors can travel to a source of ignition and flash back. Will burn
if involved in a fire. Use water spray to keep fire-exposed
containers cool. Extremely flammable liquid and vapor. 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. Will be easily ignited by heat, sparks or flame. Runoff from
fire control or dilution water may cause pollution. Runoff to sewer
may create fire or explosion hazard.
Extinguishing Media:
Use water spray to cool fire-exposed containers. Water may be
ineffective. Use dry chemical, carbon dioxide, or alcohol-resistant
foam. Do NOT use straight streams of 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. Avoid runoff into storm sewers and
ditches which lead to waterways. Remove all sources of ignition. Use
a spark-proof tool. Provide ventilation. Place under an inert
atmosphere. 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. Ground and
bond containers when transferring material. Use spark-proof tools and
explosion proof equipment. 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. Store
protected from light. Handle under an inert atmosphere. Store
protected from air. Discard contaminated shoes. 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. Keep container closed when not in use.
Refrigerator/flammables. Do not expose to air. Store protected from
light. Store under an inert atmosphere.

**** 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.
Exposure Limits
CAS# 78-85-3:
