===================== Hazards Identification =====================
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:TARGET ORGANS: KIDNEYS, CENTRAL
NERVOUS SYSTEM, LIVER, EYES. ACUTE: EYE: PRODUCES IRRITATION.
VAPORS MAY CAUSE EYE IRRITATION. MAY CAUSE PAINFUL SENSITIZATION TO
LIGHT. SKIN: MAY CAUSE SKIN IRRITATION . MAY BE ABSROBED THROUGH
THE SKIN IN HARMFUL AMOUNTS. INGESTION: MAY BE FATAL OR CAN CAUSE
BLINDNESS IF SWALLOWED. MAS CAUSE GASTROINTESTINAL IRRITATION. MAY
CAUSE SYSTEMIC TOXICITY WITH ACIDOSIS. MA Y CAUSE LIVER AND KIDNEY
DAMAGE. INHALATION: HARMFUL IF INHALED. MAY CAUSE RESPIRATORY TRACT
IRRITATION. MAY CAUSE LIVER AND KIDNEY DAMAGE. MAY CAUSE VISUAL
IMPAIRMENT AND POSSIBLE PERMANENT BLINDNESS .
Effects of Overexposure:EYE: BURNING SENSATION, REDNESS, TEARING,
INFLAMMATION, AND POSSIBLE CORNEAL INJURY. INGESTION: NAUSEA,
VOMITING AND DIARRHEA. MAY CAUSE CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM DEPRESSION
CHARACTERIZED BY EXCITEMENT, FOLLOWED BY HEADACHE, DIZZINESS,
DORWSINESS, AND NAUSEA. ADVANCED STAGES MAY CAUSE COLLAPSE,
UNCONSCIOUSNESS, COMA AND POSSIBLE DEATH DUE TO RESPIRATORY
FAILURE. INHALATION: MAY CAUSE DROWSINESS, UNCO NSCIOUSNESS AND
CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM DEPRESSION.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:NOT PROVIDED BY MFR
======================= First Aid Measures =======================
First Aid:EYE: IMMEDIATELY FLUSH EYES WITH PLENTY OF WATER FOR AT LEAST
15 MINUTES, OCCASIONALLY LIFTING THE UPPER AND LOWER LIDS. GET
MEDICAL AID IMMEDIATELY. SKIN: FLUSH SKIN WITH WATER FOR 15 MINUTES
WHILE R EMOVING CONTAMINATED CLOTHING AND SHOES. GET MEDICAL AID IF
IRRITATION DEVELOPS OR PERSISTS. INGESTION: IF VICTIM IS CONSCIOUS
AND ALERT, GIVE 2-4 CUPFULLS OF MILK OR WATER. NEVER GIVE ANYTHING
BY MOU TH TO AN UNCONSCIOUS PERSON. GET MEDICAL AID IMMEDIATELY.
INDUCE VOMITING BY GIVING ONE TEASPOON OF SYRUP OF IPECAC.
INHALATION: GET MEDICAL AID IMMEDIATELY. REMOVE FROM EXPOSURE TO
FRESH AIR, PROVIDE ARIFICIAL RESPIRATION/ OXYGEN IF NEEDED
===================== 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.
Fire Fighting Procedures:AS IN ANY FIRE, WEAR A SELF CONTAINED
BREATHING APPARATUS IN PRESSURE-DEMAND, MSHA/NIOSH (APPROVED OR
EQUIVALENT), AND FULL PROTECTIVE GEAR. VAPORS CAN TRAVEL TO A
SOURCE OF IGNITION AND FLASH BACK.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:CONTAINERS CAN BUILD UP PRESSURE IF
EXPOSED TO HEAT AN/OR FIRE. DURING A FIRE, IRRITATING AND HIGHTLY
TOXIC GASES MAY BE GENERATED BY THERMAL DECOMPOSITION OR
COMBUSTION. FLAMMABLE LIQUID. CAN RELEASE VAPORS THAT FORM
EXPLOSIVE MIXTURES AT TEMPERATURES ABOVE THE FLASH POINT.
================== 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.
Neutralizing Agent:NOT PROVIDED BY MFR
====================== Handling and Storage ======================
Handling and Storage Precautions:HANDLING: WASH THOROUGHLY AFTER
HANDLING. USE WITH ADEQUATE VENTILATION. AVOID CONTACT WITH EYES,
SKIN, AND CLOTHING. EMPTY CONTAINERS RETAIN PRODUCT RESIDUE,
(LIQUID AND/OR VAPOR), AND CAN BE DANGERO US. AVOID INGESTION AND
INHALATION.
Other Precautions:DO NOT PRESSURIZE, CUT, WELD, BRAZE, SOLDER, DRILL,
GRIND, OR EXPOSE EMPTY COANTAINERS TO OPEN FLAMES.
============= Exposure Controls/Personal Protection =============
Respiratory Protection:FOLLOW THE OSHA RESPIRATOR REGULATIONS FOUND IN
29 CFR 1910.134 OR EUROPEAN STANDARD EN 149. ALWAYS USE A NIOSH OR
EUROPEAN STANDARD EN 149 APPROVED RESPIRATOR WHEN NECESSARY
Ventilation:USE ADEQUATE GENERAL OR LOCAL EXHAUST VENTILATION TO KEEP
AIRBORNE CONCENTRATIONS BELOW THER 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
