===================== Hazards Identification =====================
Routes of Entry: Inhalation:YES Skin:YES Ingestion:YES
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:TARGET ORGANS: KIDNEYS, CENTRAL
NERVOUS SYSTEM, EYES. ACUTE: EYE: VAPORS MAY CAUSE EYE IRRITATION,
& PAINFUL SENSITIZATION TO LIGHT. SKIN: MAY CAUSE IRRITATION. MAY
BE ABSORBED THROUGH THE SKIN. INGES TION: MAY BE FATAL OR CAUSE
BLINDNESS IF SWALLOWED. MAY CASUE GASTROINTESTINAL IRRITATION.
INHALATION: MAY CAUSE RESPIRATORY TRACT IRRITATION. MAY CAUSE LIVER
AND KIDNEY DAMAGE. MAY CAUSE EFFECTS SIMI LAR TO THOSE DESCRIBED
FOR INGESTION. CHRONIC: CHRONIC INHALATION AND INGESTION MAY CAUSE
EFFECTS SIMILAR TO THOSE OF ACUTE INHALATION AND INGESTION.
Effects of Overexposure:EYE: PRODUCES IRRITATION, CHARACTERIZED BY A
BURNING SENSATION, REDNESS, TEARING, INFLAMMATION, AND POSSIBLE
CORNEAL INJURY. INGESTION: NAUSEA, VOMITING AND DIARRHEA. MAY CAUSE
KIDNEY DAMAGE. MAY CAUS E SYSTEMIC TOXICITY WITH ACIDOSIS. MAY
CAUSE CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM DEPRESSION, CHARACTERIZED BY
EXCITEMENT, FOLLOWED BY HEADACHE, DIZZINESS, AND NAUSEA, ADVANCED
STAGES MAY CAUSE COLLAPSE, UNCONSCIOU SNESS, COMA AND POSSIBLE
DEATH DUE TO RESPIRATORY FAILURE. INHALATION: MAY CAUSE DROWSINESS,
UNCONSCIOUSNESS, AND CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM DEPRESSION.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:NOT PROVIDED BY MFR
======================= First Aid Measures =======================
First Aid:EYE: IMMEDIATELY FLUSH WATER FOR 15 MINUTES, OCCASIONALLY
LIFTING THE UPPER AND LOWER LIDS. GET MEDICAL AID IMMEDIATELY.
SKIN: FLUSH SKIN WITH PLENTY OF SOAP AND WATER FOR AT LEAST 15
MINUTES WHILE RE MOVING CONTAMINATED CLOTHING AND SHOES. GET
MEDICAL AID. INGESTION: IF VICTIM IS CONSCIOUS AND ALERT, GIVE 2-4
CUPFULLS OF MILK OR WATER. NEVER GIVE ANYTHING BY MOUTH TO AN
UNCONSCIOUS PERSON. GET MED ICAL AID IMMEDIATELY. INDUCE VOMITING
BY GIVING ONE TEASPOON OF SYRUP OF IPECAC. INHALATION: REMOVE FROM
EXPOSURE TO FRESH AIR IMMEDIATELY. IF NOT BREATHING, GIVE
ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION/ OXYGEN IF NEE DED. GET MED HELP.
===================== Fire Fighting Measures =====================
Flash Point:=11.1C, 52.F
Autoignition Temp:Autoignition Temp Text:NO INF
Lower Limits:6.0
Upper Limits:36.0
Extinguishing Media:USE WATER SPRAY TO COOL FIRE-EXPOSED CONTAINERS. IN
CASE OF FIRE USE WATER SPRAY, DRY CHEMICAL, CARBON DIOXIDE, OR
CHEMICAL FOAM. DO NOT USE STRAIGHT STREAMS OF WATER.
Fire Fighting Procedures:AS IN ANY FIRE, WEAR SELF CONTAINED BREATHING
APPARATUS IN PRESSURE-DEMAND, MSHA/NIOSH (APPROVED OR EQUIVALENT),
AND FULL PROTECTIVE GEAR. USE WATER SPRAY TO KEEP FIRE-EXPOSED
CONTAINERS COOL.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:FLAMMABLE LIQUID. VAPORS MAY BE HEAVIER
THAN AIR. CONTAINERS MAY EXPLODE WHEN HEATED. VAPORS CAN TRAVEL TO
A SOURCE OF IGNITION AND FLASH BACK. DURING A FIRE, IRRITATING AND
HIGHLY TOXIC GASES MAY BE GENERATED BY THERMAL DECOMPOSITION OR
COMBUSTION. MAY BE IGNITED BY HEAT, SPARKS, AND FLAME.
================== Accidental Release Measures ==================
Spill Release Procedures:USE PROPER PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT AS
INDICATED. REMOVE ALL SOURCES OF IGNITION. ABSORB SPILL USING AN
ABSORBENT, NON-COMBUSTIBLE MATERIAL SUCH AS EARTH, SAND, OR
VERMICULITE. PROVIDE VENTILATIO N. A VAPOR SUPPRESSING FOAM MAY BE
USED TO REDUCE VAPORS. WATER SPRAY MAY REDUCE VAPOR BUT MAY NOT
PREVENT IGNITION IN CLOSED SPACES.
Neutralizing Agent:NOT PROVIDED BY MFR
====================== Handling and Storage ======================
Handling and Storage Precautions:HANDLING: WASH THOROUGHLY AFTER
HANDLING. USE WITH ADEQUATE VENTILATION. GROUND AND BOND CONTAINERS
WHEN TRANSFERRING MATERIAL. AVOID CONTACT WITH EYES, SKIN, AND
CLOTHING. EMPTY CONTAINERS RETAIN PRO DUCT RESIDUE (LIQUID AND/OR
VAPOR), AND CAN BE DANGEROUS. KEEP CONTAINER TIGHTLY CLOSED.
Other Precautions:DO NOT INGEST OR INHALE. DO NOT CUT, PRESSURIZE,
WELD, BRAZE, DRILL, GRIND OR EXPOSE EMPTY CONTAINERS TO HEAT, SPARK
OR OPEN FLAMES.
============= Exposure Controls/Personal Protection =============
Respiratory Protection:FOLLOW THE OSHA RESPIRATOR REGULATIONS FOUND IN
29CFR 1910.134 OR EURPOEAN EN 149. ALWAYS USE A NIOSH OR EUROPEAN
EN 149 APPROVED RESPIRATOR WHEN NECESSARY.
Ventilation:USE ADEQUATE GENERAL OR LOCAL EXHAUST VENTILATION TO KEEP
AIRBORNE CONCENTRATIONS BELOW THE PERMISSIBLE EXPOSURE LIMITS.
Protective Gloves:WEAR APPROPRIATE PROTECTIVE GLOVES TO PREVENT SKIN
EXPOSURE
Eye Protection:WEAR APPROPRIATE PROTECTIVE EYEGLASSES OR CHEMICAL
SAFETY GOGGLES
Other Protective Equipment:WEAR APPROPRIATE PROTECTIVE CLOTHING TO
PREVENT SKIN EXPOSURE
Work Hygienic Practices:WASH THOROUGHLY AFTER HANDLING. USE WITH
ADEQUATE VENTILATION.
