**** SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION ****
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Highly flammable. Causes burns. Harmful : danger of serious damage
to health by prolonged exposure through inhalation. Possible risk of
harm to the unborn child. Harmful: may cause lung damage if
swallowed. Vapours may cause drowsiness and dizziness.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
May result in corneal injury. Vapors may cause eye irritation.
Causes eye irritation and possible burns.
Skin:
May be absorbed through the skin. Causes skin irritation and
possible burns.
Ingestion:
Aspiration hazard. May cause effects similar to those for inhalation
exposure. Aspiration of material into the lungs may cause chemical
pneumonitis, which may be fatal. Harmful or fatal if swallowed May
cause irritation of the digestive tract and possible burns.
Inhalation:
Inhalation of high concentrations may cause central nervous system
effects characterized by nausea, headache, dizziness, unconsciousness
and coma. May cause liver and kidney damage. Vapors may cause
dizziness or suffocation. Overexposure may cause dizziness, tremors,
restlessness, rapid heart beat, increased blood pressure,
hallucinations, acidosis, kidney failure. Causes respiratory tract
irritation with possible burns.
Chronic:
Prolonged or repeated skin contact may cause dermatitis. May cause
cardiac sensitization and severe heart abnormalities. May cause liver
and kidney damage.
**** 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:
Immediately flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes
while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Get medical aid if
irritation develops or persists.
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. Possible aspiration hazard. 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. Do NOT use mouth-to-mouth
resuscitation.
Notes to Physician:
Causes cardiac sensitization to endogenous catelcholamines which may
lead to cardiac arrhythmias. Do NOT use adrenergic agents such as
epinephrine or pseudoepinephrine.
**** SECTION 5 - FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES ****
General Information:
Containers can build up pressure if exposed to heat and/or fire. As
in any fire, wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in
pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and full
protective gear. Water runoff can cause environmental damage. Dike
and collect water used to fight fire. Vapors may form an explosive
mixture with air. Vapors can travel to a source of ignition and flash
back. Flammable Liquid. Can release vapors that form explosive
mixtures at temperatures above the flashpoint. Use water spray to
keep fire-exposed containers cool. Water may be ineffective.
Material is lighter than water and a fire may be spread by the use of
water. Vapors may be heavier than air. They can spread along the
ground and collect in low or confined areas. Containers may explode
when heated.
Extinguishing Media:
Use water spray to cool fire-exposed containers. Water may be
ineffective. Do NOT use straight streams of water. For small fires,
use dry chemical, carbon dioxide, water spray or regular foam. Cool
containers with flooding quantities of water until well after fire
is out. For large fires, use water spray, fog or regular foam.
**** 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.
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. A vapor suppressing foam
may be used to reduce vapors. Water spray may reduce vapor but may
not prevent ignition in closed spaces.
**** SECTION 7 - HANDLING and STORAGE ****
Handling:
Wash thoroughly after handling. Use with adequate ventilation.
Ground and bond containers when transferring material. 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. Avoid
ingestion and inhalation. 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. Store in a tightly closed container. Store in a cool, dry,
well-ventilated area away from incompatible substances.
**** 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.
