===================== Hazards Identification =====================
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.
Effects of Overexposure:INHALATION: MAY CAUSE HEADACHES AND DIZZINESS,
ARE ANESTHETIC.
======================= 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:WATER SPILL-ELIMINATE SOURCES OF IGNITION.
WARN OCCUPANTS & SHIPPING IN SURROUNDING & DOWNWIND AREAS OF FIRE &
EXPLOSION HAZARD & REQUEST ALL TO STAY CLEAR. CONSULT AN EXPERT ON
DISPOSAL OF RECOVERED MATERIAL & ENSURE CONFORMITY TO LOCAL
DISPOSAL REGULATIONS. ***(SEE OTHER INFORMATION FOR LAND SPILL
DATA).
====================== 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. STORAGE TEMPERATURE, F: AMBIENT.
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:WEAR CONTACT MAY OCCUR, WEAR A FACE SHIELD.
Other Protective Equipment:FOR OPEN SYSTEMS WHERE CONTACT IS LIKELY,
WEAR LONG SLEEVES, CHEMICAL RESISTANT GLOVES, & CHEMICAL GOGGLES.
Work Hygienic Practices:NOT PROVIDED
Supplemental Safety and Health
"EMPTY" CONTAINERS RETAIN PRODUCT RESIDUE (LIQUID AND/OR VAPOR) AND CAN
BE DANGEROUS. DO NOT PRESSURIZE, CUT, WELD, BRAZE, SOLDER, DRILL,
