===================== Hazards Identification =====================
Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:No IARC:No OSHA:No
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:INHALATION: SHORT TERM EXPOSURE:
irritation (possibly severe), nausea, difficulty breathing,
headache, lung congestion, convulsions LONG TERM EXPOSURE: allergic
reactions, fainting SKIN CONTACT: SHORT TERM EXPOSURE: irritation
(possibly severe), allergic reactions, nausea, headache LONG TERM
EXPOSURE: same as effects reported in short term exposure EYE
CONTACT: SHORT TERM EXPOSURE: irritation (possibly severe),
tearing, blindness LONG TERM EXPOSURE: same as effects reported in
short term exposure INGESTION: SHORT TERM EXPOSURE: burns LONG TERM
EXPOSURE: same as effects reported in short term exposure
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:
Remove contaminated clothing, jewelry, and shoes immediately. Wash
with soap or mild detergent and large amounts of water until no
evidence of chemical remains (at least 15-20 minutes). For burns,
cover affected area securely with sterile, dry, loose-fitting
dressing. Get medical attention. EYE CONTACT: Immediately flush
eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Then get
immediate medical attention. INGESTION: DO NOT induce vomiting.
Never make an unconscious person vomit or drink fluids. Give large
amounts of water or milk. 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 skin contact,
consider dilute acidic solution. For ingestion, consider
esophagoscopy. Avoid gastric lavage.
===================== Fire Fighting Measures =====================
Autoignition Temp:806 F (430 C)
Lower Limits:4.9%
Upper Limits:20.7%
Extinguishing Media:carbon dioxide, regular dry chemical Large fires:
Use regular 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: 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: Let burn unless leak can be stopped immediately. For smaller
tanks or cylinders, extinguish and isolate from other flammables.
Evacuation radius: 800 meters (1/2 mile). Stop flow of gas.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:Severe fire hazard. The vapor is heavier
than air. Vapors or gases may ignite at distant ignition sources
and flash back. Vapor/air mixtures are explosive.
================== Accidental Release Measures ==================
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 1910.101. Protect from physical
damage. Store outside or in a detached building. Store with
flammable liquids. Keep separated from incompatible substances.
Inside storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Store in a
well-ventilated area. Avoid heat, flames, sparks and other sources
of ignition.
Other Precautions:
============= Exposure Controls/Personal Protection =============
Respiratory Protection:The following respirators and maximum use
concentrations are drawn from NIOSH and/or OSHA. 100 ppm Any
chemical cartridge respirator with a full facepiece and
cartridge(s) providing protection against this substance. Any
air-purifying respirator with a full facepiece and a canister
providing protection against this substance. Any powered,
air-purifying respirator with cartridge(s) providing protection
against this substance. Any self-contained breathing apparatus with
a full facepiece. Any supplied-air respirator with a full
facepiece. Escape - Any air-purifying respirator with a full
facepiece and a canister providing protection against this
substance. 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 or process enclosure ventilation
system. Ventilation equipment should be explosion-resistant if
explosive concentrations of material are present. 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.
