                  **** SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION **** 
 
                               EMERGENCY OVERVIEW 
Harmful by inhalation, in contact with skin and if swallowed. 
Irritating to respiratory system. Limited evidence of a carcinogenic 
effect. Risk of serious damage to eyes. Harmful : danger of serious 
damage to health by prolonged exposure through inhalation. 
 
Potential Health Effects 
     Eye: 
          Causes severe eye irritation.  Causes redness and pain. 
     Skin: 
          May cause skin irritation. Harmful if absorbed through the skin. 
     Ingestion: 
          May cause irritation of the digestive tract. May cause nausea and 
          vomiting. May be harmful if swallowed. 
     Inhalation: 
          Causes respiratory tract irritation. May be harmful if inhaled. May 
          cause headache. Inhalation of vapors will cause coughing or 
          breathing difficulty. 
     Chronic: 
          Chronic exposure may cause liver damage. Chronic exposure 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 immediately. 
     Skin: 
          In case of contact, immediately flush skin with plenty of water for 
          at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. 
          Get medical aid immediately. Wash clothing before reuse. 
     Ingestion: 
          If swallowed, do not induce vomiting unless directed to do so by 
          medical personnel. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious 
          person. Get medical aid. 
     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: 
          Treat symptomatically and supportively. 
 
                  **** 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. 
          During a fire, irritating and highly toxic gases may be generated by 
          thermal decomposition or combustion. Will burn if involved in a fire. 
          Polymerizes readily if not inhibited; heat can initiate reaction. 
     Extinguishing Media: 
          Use water spray, dry chemical, carbon dioxide, or chemical foam. 
 
                **** 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. Provide ventilation. 
 
                   **** SECTION 7 - HANDLING and STORAGE **** 
 
     Handling: 
          Wash thoroughly after handling. Remove contaminated clothing and 
          wash before reuse. Use with adequate ventilation. Avoid breathing 
          vapor or mist. Do not get in eyes. Avoid contact with skin and 
          clothing. 
     Storage: 
          Store in a tightly closed container. Store in a cool, dry, 
          well-ventilated area away from incompatible substances. Store at 
          around 20C. 
 
          **** 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 
          ventilation to keep airborne concentrations low.
