Fraction by Wt: 100.0%
===================== Hazards Identification =====================
Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:No IARC:No OSHA:No
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:INHALATION: SHORT TERM EXPOSURE:
symptoms of drunkenness LONG TERM EXPOSURE: no information on
significant adverse effects SKIN CONTACT: SHORT TERM EXPOSURE:
blisters, frostbite LONG TERM EXPOSURE: no information is available
EYE CONTACT: SHORT TERM EXPOSURE: frostbite, blurred vision LONG
TERM EXPOSURE: no information is available INGESTION: SHORT TERM
EXPOSURE: frostbite 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.
Get immediate medical attention. SKIN CONTACT: If frostbite or
freezing occur, immediately flush with plenty of lukewarm water
(105-115 F; 41-46 C). DO NOT USE HOT WATER. If warm water is not
available, gently wrap affected parts in blankets. Get immediate
medical attention. EYE CONTACT: Wash eyes immediately with large
amounts of water, occasionally lifting upper and lower lids, until
no evidence of chemical remains. Get medical attention immediately.
INGESTION: If a large amount is swallowed, get medical attention.
===================== Fire Fighting Measures =====================
Extinguishing Media:carbon dioxide, regular dry chemical Large fires:
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: Stop leak if possible without
personal risk. 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). Do not
attempt to extinguish fire unless flow of material can be stopped
first. Flood with fine water spray. Cool containers with water
spray until well after the fire i out. Apply water from a protected
location or from a safe distance. Avoid inhalation of material or
combustion by-products. Stay upwind and keep out of low areas.
Evacuate if fire gets out of control or containers are directly
exposed to fire. Evacuation radius: 500 meters (1/3 mile). Consider
downwind evacuation if material is leaking.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:Severe fire hazard. Containers may
rupture or explode if exposed to heat.
================== Accidental Release Measures ==================
Spill Release Procedures:Avoid heat, flames, sparks and other sources
of ignition. Do not touch spilled material. Stop leak if possible
without personal risk. Reduce vapors with water spray. Keep
unnecessary people away, isolate hazard area and deny entry. Remove
sources of ignition. Ventilate closed spaces before entering.
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. Grounding and bonding
required. Store in a tightly closed container. Store below 49 C.
Store in a cool, dry place. Store in a well-ventilated area. Keep
separated from incompatible substances.
Other Precautions:
============= Exposure Controls/Personal Protection =============
Respiratory Protection:Under conditions of frequent use or heavy
exposure, respiratory protection may be needed. Respiratory
protection is ranked in order from minimum to maximum. Consider
warning properties before use. 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:Ventilation equipment should be explosion-resistant if
explosive concentrations of material are present. Provide local
exhaust ventilation system. Ensure compliance with applicable
exposure limits.
Protective Gloves:Wear insulated gloves.
Eye Protection:For the gas: Eye protection not required, but
recommended. For the liquid: Wear splash resistant safety goggles.
Contact lenses should not be worn. Provide an emergency eye wash
fountain and quick drench shower in the immediate work area.
Other Protective Equipment:For the gas: Protective clothing is not
required. For the liquid: Wear appropriate protective, cold
insulating clothing.
