EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Not available.
Target Organs: Kidneys, central nervous system, liver, respiratory system.
Potential Health Effects
Eye: Produces irritation, characterized by a burning sensation, redness, tearing, inflammation,
and possible corneal injury.
Skin: Exposure may cause irritation characterized by redness, dryness, and inflammation.
Ingestion: May cause irritation of the digestive tract. May cause central nervous system
depression, kidney damage, and liver damage. Symptoms may include: headache, excitement,
fatigue, nausea, vomiting, stupor, and coma.
Inhalation: Inhalation of high concentrations may cause central nervous system effects
characterized by nausea, headache, dizziness, unconsciousness and coma. Causes respiratory
tract irritation. May cause liver and kidney damage. May cause motor incoordination and speech
abnormalities.
Chronic: Prolonged or repeated skin contact may cause dermatitis. Chronic inhalation may cause
effects similar to those of acute inhalation.
Section 4 - First Aid Measures
Eyes: Flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, occasionally lifting the upper and
lower eyelids. Get medical aid immediately.
Skin: Flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated
clothing and shoes. Get medical aid if irritation develops or persists.
Ingestion: If victim is conscious and alert, give 2-4 cupfuls of milk or water. Get medical aid
immediately.
Inhalation: Get medical aid immediately. Remove from exposure and move to fresh air
immediately. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen.
Notes to Physician: Treat symptomatically and supportively.
Section 5 - Fire Fighting Measures
General Information: Containers can build up pressure if exposed to heat and/or fire. 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. Use
water spray to keep fire-exposed containers cool.
Extinguishing Media: For small fires, use dry chemical, carbon dioxide, water spray or
alcohol-resistant foam. For large fires, use water spray, fog, or alcohol-resistant foam.
Flash Point: -20 deg C ( -4.00 deg F)
Autoignition Temperature: 465 deg C ( 869.00 deg F)
Explosion Limits, Lower:2.5
Upper: 13
NFPA Rating: 1 - health, 3 - flammability, 0 - instability
Section 6 - Accidental Release Measures
General Information: Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated in Section 8.
Spills/Leaks: Absorb spill with inert material (e.g. vermiculite, sand or earth), then place in
suitable container. Wear appropriate protective clothing to minimize contact with skin. Remove
all sources of ignition.
Section 7 - Handling and Storage
Handling: Wash thoroughly after handling. Remove contaminated clothing and wash before
reuse. Use with adequate ventilation. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Empty
containers retain product residue, (liquid and/or vapor), and can be dangerous.
Storage: Keep away from sources of ignition. Store in a tightly closed container.
Section 8 - Exposure Controls, Personal Protection
Engineering Controls: Use process enclosure, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering
controls to control airborne levels below recommended exposure limits.
