Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:ACUTE: TOXIC BY INGESTION, INHALATION
AND SKIN ABSORPTION. CAUSES HEADACHE, NAUSEA, DIZZINESS, ABDOMINAL
PAIN, DROWSINESS, LUNG INJURY, EDEMA. INHALATION AGGRAVATES
PRE-EXISITNG LUNG DISORDERS SUCH AS ASTHMA. CONTACT WITH SKIN OR
EYES CAUSES IRRITATION, POSSIBLY SEVERE. MAY CAUSE BURNS ON CONTACT
WITH EYES, MOUTH, THROAT OR ESOPHAGUS.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:PROPYLENE OXIDE: IARC MONOGRAPHS,
SUPPLEMENT, VOL 7, PG 328, 1987: GROUP 2B. NTP 8TH ANNUAL RPT ON
CARCINS, 1998: REASONABLY ANTIC TO BE HUMAN CARCIN.
Effects of Overexposure:SEE HEALTH HAZARDS.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:INHALATION AGGRAVATES PRE-EXISING
LUNG DISORDERS SUCH AS ASTHMA.
======================= First Aid Measures =======================
First Aid:GET MEDICAL ASSISTANCE FOR ALL CASES OF OVEREXPOSURE. SKIN:
WASH THOROUGHLY WITH SOAP AND WATER. EYES: IMMEDIATELY FLUSH
THOROUGHLY WITH WATER FOR AT LEAST 15 MINUTES. INHALATION: REMOVE
TO FRESH AIR; GIVE ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION IF BREATHING HAS
STOPPED. INGESTION: DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING; GET IMMEDIATE MEDICAL
ATTENTION. REMOVE CONTAMINATED CLOTHING AND WASH BEFORE REUSE.
===================== Fire Fighting Measures =====================
Flash Point Method:TOC
Flash Point:=-37.2C, -35.F
Lower Limits:2.10%
Upper Limits:38.50%
Extinguishing Media:CO*2, DRY CHEMICAL, WATER SPRAY, "ALCOHOL" FOAM. DO
NOT COMPLETELY EXTINGUISH FLAMES DUE TO POSSIBILITY OF EXPLOSIVE
RE-IGNITION; ALLOW FIRE TO BURN OUT.
Fire Fighting Procedures:WEAR NIOSH APPROVED SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING
APPARATUS AND PROTECTIVE CLOTHING.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:VAPOR CAN TRAVEL DISTANCES TO IGNITION
SOURCE AND FLASH BACK. FORMS EXPLOSIVE REACTION WITH EPOXY RESIN
AND SODIUM HYDROXIDE. FORMS EXPLOSIVE MIXTURES WITH OXYGEN.
================== Accidental Release Measures ==================
Spill Release Procedures:EVACUATE AREA OF ALL UNNEC PERSONNEL. WEAR
SUITABLE PROT EQUIP LISTED UNDER EXPOS/PERSONAL PROT. ELIM ANY
IGNIT SOURCES UNTIL AREA IS DETERM TO BE FREE FROM EXPLO/FIRE HAZS.
CNTN RELEASE & ELIM ITS SO URCE, IF THIS CAN BE DONE W/OUT RISK,
TAKE UP & CONTAINERIZE FOR PROPER DISPOSAL AS DESCRIBED UNDER
DISPOSAL. COMPLY W/FEDERAL, STATE, & LOC REGS ON REPORTING
RELEASES. (SUPDAT)
====================== Handling and Storage ======================
Handling and Storage Precautions:KEEP CONTAINER TIGHTLY CLOSED. STORE
IN A COOL, WELL-VENTILATED AREA AWAY FROM IGNITION SOURCES. CHECK
PEROXIDE CONTENT BEFORE HEATING MATERIAL. DO NOT BREATHE VAPOR. DO
NOT GET IN EYES, ON SKIN, OR O N CLOTHING.
Other Precautions:ELECTRICALLY GROUND ALL EQUIPMENT WHEN HANDLING THIS
PRODUCT. RETAINED RESIDUE MAY MAKE EMTPY CONTAINERS HAZARDOUS; USE
CAUTION!
============= Exposure Controls/Personal Protection =============
Respiratory Protection:IF WORKPLACE EXPOSURE LIMIT(S) OF PROD/ANY
COMPONENT IS EXCEEDED (SEE TLV/PEL), A NIOSH APPROVED AIR SUPPLIED
RESPIRATOR IS ADVISED IN ABSENCE OF PROPER ENVIR CONTROL. OSHA REGS
ALSO PERMIT OTHER NIOS H RESPIRATORS (NEGATIVE PRESSURE TYPE) UNDER
SPECIFIED CNDTNS (SEE YOUR SAFETY EQUIP SUPPLIER).
Ventilation:ENGINEERING AND/OR ADMINISTRATIVE CONTROLS SHOULD BE
IMPLEMENTED TO REDUCE EXPOSURE . MATL MUST BE HNDLD/TRANSFERRED IN
AN NIOSH APPRVD (OTHER INFO)
Protective Gloves:PROT GLOVES(NITRILE, PVA/EQUIV) MUST BE WORN TO PVNT
SKIN CONTACT.
