===================== Hazards Identification =====================
LD50 LC50 Mixture:ORAL LD50: 5620 TO 10170 MG/KG (RATS).
Routes of Entry: Inhalation:YES Skin:YES Ingestion:YES
Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:NO IARC:NO OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:IMMEDIATE EFFECTS: SKIN: REPEATED OR
PROLONGED CONTACT CAN CAUSE DRYING OF SKIN. EYES: VAPOR AND LIQUID
ARE IRRITATING TO THE EYES. INHALATION: VAPORS ARE IRRITATING TO
NASAL PASSAGES AND THROAT. HIGH CONCENTRATIONS CAN CAUSE STUPOR
AND HEADACHES. INGESTION: CAN CAUSE HEADACHE, DROWSINESS AND
UNCONSCIOUSNESS.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:NONE
Effects of Overexposure:SKIN: REPEATED OR PROLONGED CONTACT CAN CAUSE
DRYING OF SKIN. EYES: VAPOR AND LIQUID ARE IRRITATING TO THE EYES.
INHALATION: VAPORS ARE IRRITATING TO NASAL PASSAGES AND THROAT.
HIGH CONCENTRATIONS CAN CAUSE STUPOR AND HEADACHES. INGESTION: CAN
CAUSE HEADACHE, DROWSINESS AND UNCONSCIOUSNESS.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:SIGNIFICANT EXPOSURE TO THIS
CHEMICAL MAY ADVERSELY AFFECT PEOPLE WITH CHRONIC DISEASE OF THE
RESPIRATORY SYSTEM, SKIN AND/ OR EYES.
======================= First Aid Measures =======================
First Aid:SKIN: REMOVE CONTAMINATED CLOTHING AND WASH CONTAMINATED SKIN
WITH LARGE AMOUNT OF SOAP AND WATER. IF IRRITATION PERSISTS,
CONTACT A PHYSICIAN. EYES: FLUSH EYES WITH WATER FOR AT LEAST 15
MINUTES. IF IRRITATION PERSISTS, CONTACT A PHYSICIAN. INHALATION:
REMOVE PATIENT FROM CONTAMINATED AREA. IF BREATHING HAS STOPPED,
GIVE ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION, THEN OXYGEN IF NEEDED. CONTACT A
PHYSICIAN IMMEDIATE LY. INGESTION: INDUCE VOMITING OF CONSCIOUS
PATIENT IMMEDIATELY BY GIVING TWO GLASSES OF WATER AND PRESSING
FINGER DOWN THROAT. CONTACT A PHYSICIAN IMMEDIATELY.
===================== Fire Fighting Measures =====================
Flash Point Method:CC
Flash Point:=-4.4C, 24.F
Lower Limits:2.0
Upper Limits:11.4
Extinguishing Media:CARBON DIOXIDE OR DRY CHEMICAL FOR SMALL FIRES;
ALCOHOL TYPE AQUEOUS FILM-FORMING FOAM OR WATER SPRAY FOR LARGE
FIRES. WATER MAY BE INEFFECTIVE BUT SHOULD BE USED TO COOL
CONTAINERS.
Fire Fighting Procedures:IF POTENTIAL FOR EXPOSURE TO VAPORS/COMBUSTION
PRODUCTS EXISTS, WEAR PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT, INCLUDING
SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS WITH FULL FACE PIECE OPERATED IN
PRESSURE DEMAND/POSITI VE PRESSURE MODE. VAPOR IS HEAVIER THAN AIR
AND CAN TRAVEL CONSIDERABLE DISTANCE TO A SOURCE OF IGNITION AND
FLASH BACK
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:MATERIAL CREATES A SPECIAL HAZARD BECAUSE
IT FLOATS ON WATER.
================== Accidental Release Measures ==================
Spill Release Procedures:ELIMINATE IGNITION SOURCES. WEAR PROTECTIVE
EQUIPMENT. AVOID CONTACT. PLACE LEAKING CONTAINERS IN WELL
VENTILATED AREA WITH SPILL CONTAINMENT. IF FIRE POTENTIAL EXISTS,
BLANKET SPILL WITH ALCOHOL-TYPE AQUEOUS FILM FORMING FOAM/USE
WATER SPRAY TO DISPERSE VAPORS. CONTAIN SPILL. USE ABSORBENT
MATERIALS OR VACUUM TRUCK. AVOID RUNOFF INTO STORM SEWERS AND
DITCHES WHICH LEAD TO NATURAL WATERWAYS.
Neutralizing Agent:NOT RELEVANT
====================== Handling and Storage ======================
Handling and Storage Precautions:KEEP ALL CONTAINERS TIGHTLY CLOSED
WHEN NOT IN USE. STORE OUT OF DIRECT SUNLIGHT AND ON AN IMPERMEABLE
FLOOR. DO NOT STORE WITH INCOMPATIBLE MATERIALS. ALWAYS OPEN
CONTAINERS SLOWLY TO ALLOW ANY EXCES S PRESSURE TO VENT.
Other Precautions:AVOID BREATHING VAPOR. AVOID CONTACT WITH EYES, SKIN
OR CLOTHING. WASH THOROUGHLY WITH SOAP AND WATER AFTER HANDLING.
DECONTAMINATE SOILED CLOTHING THOROUGHLY BEFORE REUSE. DESTROY
CONTAMINATED LEATHE R CLOTHING. USE WITH ADEQUATE VENTILATION..
============= Exposure Controls/Personal Protection =============
Respiratory Protection:BASED ON WORKPLACE CONTAMINATE LEVEL AND WORKING
LIMITS OF RESPIRATOR, USE A RESPIRATOR APPROVED BY NIOSH/MSHA. USE
AIR-PURIFYING RESPIRATOR WITH FULL FACEPIECE AND ORGANIC VAPOR
CARTRIDGE/CANISTER. F OR CONCENTRATIONS >=100 TIMES ACCEPTABLE
LEVEL/UNKNOWN (SUCH AS IN EMERGENCIES), USE SELF-CONTAINED
BREATHING APPARATUS WITH FULL FACEPIECE IN PRESSURE-DEMAND.
Ventilation:GENERAL OR DILUTION VENTILATION FREQUENTLY INSUFFICIENT.
LOCAL VENTILATION IS USUALLY PREFERRED. EXPLOSION PROOF EQUIPMENT
SHOULD BE USED.
Protective Gloves:WEAR BUTYL RUBBER GLOVES TO PREVENT REPEATED OR
PROLONGED CONTACT.
Eye Protection:WEAR CHEMICAL GOGGLES WHEN THERE IS A REASONABLE CHANCE
OF EYE CONTACT.
Other Protective Equipment:IMPERVIOUS CLOTHING
