Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:INHALATION: SHORT TERM EXPOSURE:
irritation, nausea, vomiting, difficulty breathing, headache,
symptoms of drunkenness LONG TERM EXPOSURE: same as effects
reported in short term exposure SKIN CONTACT: SHORT TERM EXPOSURE:
irritation (possibly severe) LONG TERM EXPOSURE: same as effects
reported in short term exposure EYE CONTACT: SHORT TERM EXPOSURE:
irritation LONG TERM EXPOSURE: no information is available
INGESTION: SHORT TERM EXPOSURE: nausea, stomach pain LONG TERM
EXPOSURE: no information is available
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:
======================= First Aid Measures =======================
First Aid: INHALATION: If adverse effects occur, remove to
uncontaminated area. Give artificial respiration if not breathing.
If breathing is difficult, oxygen should be administered by
qualified personnel. Get immediate medical attention. SKIN CONTACT:
Wash skin with soap and water for at least 15 minutes while
removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Get medical attention, if
needed. Thoroughly clean and dry contaminated clothing and shoes
before reuse. EYE CONTACT: Flush eyes with plenty of water for at
least 15 minutes. Then get immediate medical attention. INGESTION:
Contact local poison control center or physician immediately. Never
make an unconscious person vomit or drink fluids. When vomiting
occurs, keep head lower than hips to help prevent aspiration. If
person is unconscious, turn head to side. Get medical attention
immediately. NOTE TO PHYSICIAN: For inhalation, consider oxygen.
For ingestion, consider gastric lavage and activated charcoal
slurry.
===================== Fire Fighting Measures =====================
Flash Point:-18 F (-28 C) (CC)
Autoignition Temp:829 F (443 C)
Lower Limits:1.4%
Upper Limits:21%
Extinguishing Media:alcohol resistant foam, carbon dioxide, regular dry
chemical, water, alcohol resistant foam Large fires: Use
alcohol-resistant foam or flood with fine water spray.
Fire Fighting Procedures:Move container from fire area if it can be
done without risk. Cool containers with water spray until well
after the fire is out. Stay away from the ends of tanks. For fires
in cargo or storage area: Cool containers with water from unmanned
hose holder or monitor nozzles until well after fire is out. If
this is impossible then take the following precautions: Keep
unnecessary people away, isolate hazard area and deny entry. Let
the fire burn. Withdraw immediately in case of rising sound from
venting safety device or any discoloration of tanks due to fire.
For tank, rail car or tank truck: Evacuation radius: 800 meters
(1/2 mile). Do not attempt to extinguish fire unless flow of
material can be stopped first. Flood with fine water spray. Do not
scatter spilled material with high-pressure water streams. Cool
containers with water spray until well after the fire is out. Apply
water from a protected location or from a safe distance. Avoid
inhalation of material ocombustion by-products. Stay upwind and
keep out of low areas. Water may be ineffective.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:Severe fire hazard. May form explosive
peroxides. The vapor is heavier than air.
================== Accidental Release Measures ==================
Spill Release Procedures:Avoid heat, flames, sparks and other sources
of ignition. Remove sources of ignition. Stop leak if possible
without personal risk. Reduce vapors with water spray. Small
spills: Absorb with sand or other non-combustible material. Collect
spilled material in appropriate container for disposal. Large
spills: Dike for later disposal. Keep unnecessary people away,
isolate hazard area and deny entry. Stay upwind and keep out of low
areas.
Neutralizing Agent:
====================== Handling and Storage ======================
Handling and Storage Precautions:Store and handle in accordance with
all current regulations and standards. Subject to storage
regulations: U.S. OSHA 29 CFR 1910.106. Grounding and bonding
required. Protect from physical damage. Store and handle in a
detached building. Avoid direct sunlight. Avoid friction and static
electricity. Keep separated from incompatible substances.
Other Precautions:
============= Exposure Controls/Personal Protection =============
Respiratory Protection:The following respirators and maximum use
concentrations are drawn from NIOSH and/or OSHA. 1400 ppm Any
chemical cartridge respirator with organic vapor cartridge(s). Any
powered, air-purifying respirator with organic vapor cartridge(s).
Any air-purifying respirator with a full facepiece and an organic
vapor canister. Any supplied-air respirator. Any self-contained
breathing apparatus with a full facepiece. Escape - Any
air-purifying respirator with a full facepiece and an organic vapor
canister. Any appropriate escape-type, self-contained breathing
apparatus. For Unknown Concentrations or Immediately Dangerous to
Life or Health - Any supplied-air respirator with full facepiece
and operated in a pressure-demand or other positive-pressure mode
in combination with a separate escape supply. Any self-contained
breathing apparatus with a full facepiece.
Ventilation:Provide local exhaust ventilation system. Ensure compliance
with applicable exposure limits.
Protective Gloves:Wear appropriate chemical resistant gloves.
Eye Protection:Wear splash resistant safety goggles with a faceshield.
Provide an emergency eye wash fountain and quick drench shower in
the immediate work area.
Other Protective Equipment:Wear appropriate chemical resistant
clothing.
