=====================  Hazards Identification  =====================

Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:INHALATION: VAPORS AND MISTS CAUSE
    IRRITATION TO THE RESPIRATORY TRACT. HIGHER CONCENTRATIONS CAN
    CAUSE BURNS, PULMONARY EDENA AND DEATH. BRIEF EXPOSURE TO 500 PPM
    CAN BE FATAL. INGESTION: TOXIC! MAY  CAUSE CORROSION TO THE
    ESOPHAGUS AND STOMACH WITH PERFORATION AND PERITONITIS. SKIN:
    CAUSES IRRATION AND BURNS TO THE SKIN. EYE: VAPORS CAUSE IRRATION.
    SPLASHES CAUSE SEVERE PAIN, EYE DAMAGE, AND PERM ANENT BLINDNESS.
    CHRONIC: REPEATED EXPOSURE MAY CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE TISSUES OF THE
    MUSOUS MEMBRANES, UPPER RESPIRATORY TRACT, EYES AND SKIN.
Effects of Overexposure:SYMPTOMS MAY INCLUDE PAIN IN THE MOUTH, CHEST
    AND ABDOMEN, WITH COUGHING, VOMITING AND COLLAPSE. INGESTION OF AS
    LITTLE AS 3 TO 4 ML MAY BE FATAL. REDNESS, IRRITATION AND TEARING
    OF EYES.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:PERSONS WITH PRE-EXISTING EYE
    DISORDERS OR IMPAIRED RESPIRATORY FUNCTION MAY BE MORE SUSCEPTIBLE
    TO THE EFFECTS OF THIS MATERIAL.

=======================  First Aid Measures  =======================

First Aid:INHALATION: REMOVE TO FRESH AIR. IF NOT BREATHING, GIVE
    ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION. IF BREATHING IS DIFFICULT, GIVE OXYGEN.
    CALL A PHYSICIAN IMMEDIATELY. INGESTION: IF SWALLOWED, DO NOT
    INDUCE VOMITING. G IVE LARGE QUANTITIES OF WATER. NEVER GIVE
    ANYTHING BY MOUTH TO AN UNCONSCIOUS PERSON. GET MEDICAL ATTENTION
    IMMEDIATELY. SKIN: IMMEDIATELY FLUSH SKIN WITH PLENTY OF WATER FOR
    AT LEAST 15 MINS WHILE RE MOVING CONTAMINATED CLOTHING AND SHOES,
    CALL A PHYSICIAN, IMMEDIATELY. EYE: IMMEDIATELY FLUSH EYES WITH
    GENTLE BUT LARGE STREAM OF WATER FOR AT LEAST 15 MINS (SUPPL)

=====================  Fire Fighting Measures  =====================

Autoignition Temp:=651.C, 1203.8F
Lower Limits:16
Upper Limits:25
Extinguishing Media:USE ANY MEANS SUITABLE FOR EXTINGUISHING
    SURROUNDING FIRE. USE WATER SPRAY TO BLANKET FIRE, COOL FIRE
    EXPOSED CONTAINERS, AND FLUSH NON-IGNATED SPILLS OR VAPORS AWAY
    FROM FIRE.
Fire Fighting Procedures:IN THE EVENT OF A FIRE, WEAR FULL PROTECTIVE
    CLOTHING AND NIOSH-APPROVED SELF CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS WITH
    FULL FACEPIECE OPERATED IN THE PRESSURE DEMAND OR OTHER POSITIVE
    PRESSURE MODE.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:FLAMMABLE VAPORS MAY ACCUMULATE IN
    CONFINED SPACES.

==================  Accidental Release Measures  ==================

Spill Release Procedures:NO INFO PROVICED. HMIS: EVACUATE PERSONNEL AND
    VENTILATE AREA. RECOVER BY VACUUYMING LIQUID. NEUTRALIZE RESIDUE 
    WITH DILUTE SOLUTION OF VINGAR AND WASH WITH  WATER.
Neutralizing Agent:DILUTER SOLUTION OF VINEGAR.

======================	Handling and Storage  ======================

Handling and Storage Precautions:KEEP IN A TIGHTLY CLOSED CONTAINER,
    STORE IN A COOL DRY, VENTILATED AREA. PROTECT AGAINST PHYSICAL
    DAMAGE. SEPARATE FROM INCOMPATIBILIES. STORE BELOW 25C. PROTECT
    FROM DIRECT SUNLIGHT. CONTAINERS OF T HIS MATERIAL MAY BE HAZARDOUS
    WHEN EMPTY SINCE THEY RETAIN PRODUCT RESIDUES. (SUPPL)

=============  Exposure Controls/Personal Protection  =============

Respiratory Protection:IF THE EXPOSURE LIMIT IS EXCEEDED, A FULL
    FACEPIECE RESPIRATOR WITH AN AMMONIA/ METHYLAMINE CARTRIDGE MAY BE
    WORN UPTO 50 TIMES THE EXPOSURE LIMIT. FOR EMERGENCIES OR WHERE
    EXPOSURE LEVELS ARE NOT KNO WN USE A FULL-FACEPIECE POSITIVE
    PRESSURE AIR-SUPPLIED RESPIRATOR. WARNING: AIR PURIFYING
    RESPIRATORS DO NOT PROTECT WORKERS IN AIR DEFICIENT ATMOSPHERE.
Ventilation:LOCAL OR GENERAL EXHAUST IS RECOMMENDED.
Protective Gloves:NEOPRENE & NITRILE ARE RECOMMENDED. POLYVINYL ALCOHOL
    IS NOT RECOMMENDED
