**** SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION ****
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
May cause cancer. May cause heritable genetic damage. Toxic in
contact with skin and if swallowed. Toxic : danger of serious damage
to health by prolonged exposure through inhalation, contact with
skin and if swallowed.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Causes eye irritation.
Skin:
Causes skin irritation. May cause skin sensitization, an allergic
reaction, which becomes evident upon re-exposure to this material.
If absorbed, causes symptoms similar to those of ingestion. May be
harmful if absorbed through the skin. May cause local irritation
characterized by blistering and desquamation of the palms and soles
combined with blueness of the hands and feet.
Ingestion:
Harmful if swallowed. May cause irritation of the digestive tract.
Can cause nervous system damage.
Inhalation:
May cause effects similar to those described for ingestion. May
cause respiratory tract irritation.
Chronic:
May cause cancer according to animal studies. Chronic exposure
produces peripheral neuropathy.
**** 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. Wash clothing before reuse.
Ingestion:
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. Non-combustible, substance itself does not burn but
may decompose upon heating to produce corrosive and/or toxic fumes.
Extinguishing Media:
Use water spray to cool fire-exposed containers. Substance is
noncombustible; use agent most appropriate to extinguish surrounding
fire.
**** 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.
Avoid generating dusty conditions. 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
sawdust.
**** SECTION 7 - HANDLING and STORAGE ****
Handling:
Wash thoroughly after handling. Remove contaminated clothing and
wash before reuse. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Do
not ingest or inhale. Use with adequate ventilation.
Storage:
Do not store in direct sunlight. Keep from contact with oxidizing
materials. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from
incompatible substances. Keep away from acids. Do not store near
alkaline substances. Keep away from polymerization catalysts.
**** 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 process enclosure,
local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to control
airborne levels.
