Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:NO IARC:NO OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS: EYE CONTACT:
SEVERELY IRRITATING. IF NOT REMOVED PROMPTLY, WILL INJURE EYE
TISSUE, WHICH MAY RESULT IN PERMANENT DAMAGE. SKIN CONTACT:
FREQUENT/PROLONGED CONTACT MAY IRRITATE AND CAUSE DERMATITIS. LOW
ORDER OF TOXICITY. INHALATION: VAPOR CONCENTRATIONS ABOVE EXPOSURE
LEVELS ARE IRRITATING TO EYES AND RESPIRATORY TRACT, MAY CAUSE
HEADACHES AND DIZZINESS, ARE ANESTHETIC AND MAY HAVE OTHER CENTRAL
NERVOUS SYSTEM EFFECTS. INGESTION: SMALL AMOUNTS OF THE LIQUID
ASPIRATED INTO THE RESPIRATORY SYSTEM DURING INGESTION, OR FROM
VOMITING, MAY CAUSE PULMONARY EDEMA. CHRONIC EFFE CTS: NO
NEUROTOXIC EFFECTS.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:NONE
Effects of Overexposure:EYE CONTACT: IRRITATING. SKIN CONTACT: FREQUENT
OR PROLONGED CONTACT MAY IRRITATE AND CAUSE DERMATITIS. INHALATION:
VAPOR CONCENTRATIONS ABOVE EXPOSURE LEVELS ARE IRRITATING TO THE
EYES AND RESPIRATOR Y TRACT, MAY CAUSE HEADACHES AND DIZZINESS, ARE
ANESTHETIC. INGESTION: SMALL AMOUNTS OF THE LIQUID ASPIRATED INTO
THE RESPIRATORY SYSTEM DURING INGESTION, OR FROM VOMITING, MAY
CAUSE PULMONARY EDEMA.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:NOT PROVIDED
======================= First Aid Measures =======================
First Aid:EYE CONTACT: IMMEDIATELY FLUSH EYES WITH LARGE AMOUNT OF
WATER FOR AT LEAST 15 MINUTES. GET PROMPT MEDICAL ATTENTION. SKIN
CONTACT: IMMEDIATELY FLUSH WITH LARGE AMOUNT OF WATER; USE SOAP IF
AVAILABLE . REMOVE CONTAMINATED CLOTHING, INCLUDING SHOES, AFTER
FLUSHING HAS BEGUN. INHALATION: USING PROPER RESPIRATORY
PROTECTION, IMMEDIATELY REMOVE THE AFFECTED VICTIM FROM EXPOSURE.
ADMINISTER ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION IF BREATHING IS STOPPED. KEEP AT
REST. CALL FOR PROMPT MEDICAL ATTENTION. INGESTION: IF SWALLOWED,
DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. KEEP AT REST. GET PROMPT MEDICAL ATTENTION.
===================== Fire Fighting Measures =====================
Flash Point:=-3.7C, 25.F
Autoignition Temp:=460.C, 860.F
Lower Limits:1.8
Upper Limits:11.5
Extinguishing Media:EITHER ALLOW FIRE TO BURN OUT UNDER CONTROLLED
CONDITIONS OR EXTINGUISH WITH ALCOHOL TYPE FOAM, OR DRY CHEMICAL.
TRY TO COVER LIQUID SPILLS WITH FOAM.
Fire Fighting Procedures:USE WATER SPRAY TO COOL FIRE EXPOSED SURFACES
AND TO PROTECT PERSONNEL. SHUT OFF "FUEL" TO FIRE. IF A LEAK OR
SPILL HAS NOT IGNITED, USE WATER SPRAY TO DISPERSE THE VAPORS.
AVOID SPRAYING WATER DIRECT LY INTO STORAGE CONTAINERS DUE TO
DANGER OF BOILOVER.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:FLAMMABLE LIQUID, CAN RELEASE VAPORS THAT
FORM FLAMMABLE MIXTURES AT TEMPERATURES AT OR ABOVE THE FLASHPOINT.
================== Accidental Release Measures ==================
Spill Release Procedures:ELIMINATE IGNITION SOURCES. PREVENT ADDITIONAL
DISCHARGES, IF POSSIBLE. SMALL SPILLS: IMPLEMENT CLEANUP
PROCEDURES; LARGE SPILLS: IMPLEMENT CLEANUP PROCEDURES AND KEEP
PUBLIC AWAY AND ADVISE AUTHORITI ES. PREVENT LIQUID FROM ENTERING
SEWERS, WATERCOURSES, LOW AREAS. CONTAIN WITH SAND OR EARTH. DO NOT
USE COMBUSTIBLE MATERIAL SUCH AS SAWDUST. RECOVER WITH
EXPLOSION-PROOF PUMP OR SUITABLE ABSORBENT.
Neutralizing Agent:NOT RELEVANT
====================== Handling and Storage ======================
Handling and Storage Precautions:KEEP CONTAINER CLOSED. HANDLE AND OPEN
CONTAINERS WITH CARE. STORE IN A COOL, WELL VENTILATED PLACE AWAY
FROM INCOMPATIBLE MATERIALS. DO NOT HANDLE OR STORE NEAR AN OPEN
FLAME, HEAT OR OTHER SOURCES O F IGNITION. PROTECT MATERIAL FROM
DIRECT SUNLIGHT.
Other Precautions:THIS MATERIAL IS NOT A STATIC ACCUMULATOR, BUT USE
PROPER BONDING AND/OR GROUNDING PROCEUDRES. DO NOT PRESSURIZE, CUT,
HEAT, OR WELD CONTAINERS. EMPTY PRODUCT CONTAINERS MAY RETAIN
PRODUCT RESIDUE. DO NOT REUSE EMPTY CONTAINERS WITHOUT COMMERCIAL
CLEANING OR RECONDITIONING.
============= Exposure Controls/Personal Protection =============
Respiratory Protection:WHERE CONCENTRATIONS IN AIR MAY EXCEED THE
LIMITS GIVEN AND ENGINEERING, WORK PRACTICE OR OTHER MEANS OF
EXPOSURE REDUCTION ARE NOT ADAQUATE, NIOSH/MSHA APPROVED
RESPIRATORS MAY BE NECESSARY TO PREVEN T OVEREXPOSURE BY
INHALATION.
Ventilation:THE USE OF MECHANICAL DILUTION VENTILATION IS RECOMMENDED
WHENEVER IT IS USED IN CONFINED SPACES, HEATED/AGITATED. USE
EXPLOSION-PROOF VENTILATION EQUIPMENT.
Protective Gloves:CHEMICAL RESISTANT GLOVES
Eye Protection:CHEMICAL GOGGLES OR FACE SHIELD
Other Protective Equipment:NOT PROVIDED
Work Hygienic Practices:NOT PROVIDED
Supplemental Safety and Health
