===================== Hazards Identification =====================
Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:No IARC:No OSHA:No
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:INHALATION: SHORT TERM EXPOSURE:
nausea, vomiting, irregular heartbeat, headache, symptoms of
drunkenness, bluish skin color, kidney damage, liver damage LONG
TERM EXPOSURE: sterility, kidney damage, liver damage, reproductive
effects SKIN CONTACT: SHORT TERM EXPOSURE: irritation LONG TERM
EXPOSURE: same as effects reported in short term exposure EYE
CONTACT: SHORT TERM EXPOSURE: irritation LONG TERM EXPOSURE: same
as effects reported in short term exposure INGESTION: SHORT TERM
EXPOSURE: same as effects reported in short term inhalation 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: 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: If a large amount
is swallowed, get medical attention.
===================== Fire Fighting Measures =====================
Flash Point:99 F (37 C) (CC)
Lower Limits:7% @ 80.0 C
Extinguishing Media:regular dry chemical, carbon dioxide, water,
regular foam 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. 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 or combustion by-products. Stay upwind
and keep out of low areas.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:Severe fire hazard. Vapor/air mixtures
are explosive above flash point.
================== Accidental Release Measures ==================
Spill Release Procedures:Avoid heat, flames, sparks and other 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.
Remove sources of ignition. Keep unnecessary people away, isolate
hazard area and deny entry.
Neutralizing Agent:
====================== Handling and Storage ======================
Handling and Storage Precautions:Store and handle in accordance with
all current regulations and standards. Store in a tightly closed
container. Avoid contact with air or light. Subject to storage
regulations: U.S. OSHA 29 CFR 1910.106. Grounding and bonding
required. 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. Any chemical cartridge respirator
with organic vapor cartridge(s). Any chemical cartridge respirator
with a full facepiece and organic vapor cartridge(s). Any
air-purifying respirator with a full facepiece and an organic vapor
canister. 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 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.
