**** SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION ****
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Causes burns. Toxic in contact with skin and if
swallowed.Corrosive.Toxic.Hygroscopic (absorbs moisture from the
air).Light sensitive.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
May result in corneal injury. Causes eye irritation and burns.
May cause conjunctivitis and keratitis.
Skin:
May be absorbed through the skin in harmful amounts. Causes severe
skin irritation and burns. May cause sensitization by skin contact.
Ingestion:
Causes gastrointestinal irritation with nausea, vomiting and
diarrhea. Causes gastrointestinal tract burns. May cause vascular
collapse and damage. May cause kidney, liver and spleen damage.
Rapidly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. Cresols may cause
abnormalities of the central nervous system, respiratory system,
spleen and pancreas.
Inhalation:
May be fatal if inhaled. Causes severe irritation of upper
respiratory tract with coughing, burns, breathing difficulty, and
possible coma. May cause headache. May cause nausea and possible
vomiting.
Chronic:
May cause liver and kidney damage. Repeated exposure may cause
sensitization dermatitis. May cause appetite loss, diarrhea, skin
abnormalities, and digestive tract disturbances.
**** SECTION 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES ****
Eyes:
Get medical aid immediately. Do NOT allow victim to rub eyes or keep
eyes closed. Extensive irrigation with water is required (at least 30
minutes).
Skin:
Get medical aid immediately. Immediately flush skin with plenty of
water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing
and shoes. Discard contaminated clothing in a manner which limits
further exposure. Destroy contaminated 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 breathing has ceased apply
artificial respiration using oxygen and a suitable mechanical device
such as a bag and a mask.
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 can travel to a source of ignition and flash
back. Vapors may be heavier than air. They can spread along the
ground and collect in low or confined areas. Material is a solid at
room temperature that melts upon moderate heating into a combustible
liquid with a flash point below 200F(93.3C).
Extinguishing Media:
For small fires, use dry chemical, carbon dioxide, or water spray.
For large fires, use dry chemical, carbon dioxide, alcohol-resistant
foam, or water spray.
**** 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. Remove all sources of ignition.
Provide ventilation. Evacuate unnecessary personnel.
**** 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. Do not get in eyes, on
skin, or on clothing. Empty containers retain product residue,
(liquid and/or vapor), and can be dangerous. Do not ingest or inhale.
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. Corrosives
area. If the water content is below approximately 0.3% and the
temperature exceeds 268F (120C), violent corrosion of aluminum and
its alloys may occur.
**** 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.
Exposure Limits
CAS# 95-48-7:
Japan: 5 ppm OEL; 22 mg/m3 OEL
Personal Protective Equipment
Eyes:
Wear appropriate protective eyeglasses or chemical
safety goggles as described by OSHA's eye and face
protection regulations in 29 CFR 1910.133 or European

exposure.
Clothing:
Wear appropriate protective clothing to prevent skin
exposure.
Respirators:
Follow the OSHA respirator regulations found in 29
CFR 1910.134 or European Standard EN 149. Use a
NIOSH/MSHA or European Standard EN 149 approved
respirator if exposure limits are exceeded or if
irritation or other symptoms are experienced.
