**** SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION ****
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Highly flammable. Irritating to eyes. Repeated exposure may cause
skin dryness or cracking. Vapours may cause drowsiness and
dizziness.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Causes eye irritation. Vapors cause eye irritation.
Skin:
May be absorbed through the skin in harmful amounts. Repeated or
prolonged exposure may cause drying and cracking of the skin.
Ingestion:
May cause irritation of the digestive tract. Possible aspiration
hazard. May cause central nervous system depression.
Inhalation:
Causes respiratory tract irritation. Inhalation of vapors may cause
drowsiness and dizziness. May cause central nervous system effects
such as nausea and headache.
Chronic:
Chronic inhalation may cause effects similar to those of acute
inhalation. Prolonged or repeated skin contact may cause defatting
and dermatitis. Animal studies have reported that fetal
effects/abnormalities may occur when maternal toxicity is seen.
Chronic overexposure to vapors may cause lung damage.
**** SECTION 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES ****
Eyes:
In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for
at least 15 minutes. Get medical aid.
Skin:
In case of contact, flush skin with plenty of water. Remove
contaminated clothing and shoes. Get medical aid if irritation
develops and persists. Wash clothing before reuse.
Ingestion:
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:
If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial
respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical aid.
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. Extremely flammable liquid and vapor. Vapor may
cause flash fire. 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.
Extinguishing Media:
In case of fire, use carbon dioxide, dry chemical powder or
appropriate foam. Water may be ineffective because it will not cool
material below its flash point.
**** 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. Clean up spills immediately,
observing precautions in the Protective Equipment section. Remove all
sources of ignition. Use a spark-proof tool. Provide ventilation.
**** SECTION 7 - HANDLING and STORAGE ****
Handling:
Wash thoroughly after handling. Remove contaminated clothing and
wash before reuse. Ground and bond containers when transferring
material. Use spark-proof tools and explosion proof equipment. Avoid
contact with eyes, skin, and 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 pressurize, cut, weld, braze, solder, drill, grind, or expose
empty containers to heat, sparks or open flames. Use only with
adequate ventilation. Avoid breathing vapor.
Storage:
Keep away from sources of ignition. Store in a cool, dry,
well-ventilated area away from incompatible substances.
Flammables-area.
**** 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 exhaust ventilation to keep airborne concentrations below the
permissible exposure limits. Ventilation fans and other electrical
service must be non-sparking and have an explosion-proof design.
