Potential Health Effects
Inhalation: Is harmful and may be fatal, headache, nausea, vomiting, dizziness,
narcosis, respiratory failure, low blood pressure, central nervous system
depression.
Ingestion: Is harmful and may be fatal, irritation and burns to mouth and stomach.
Skin Contact: Severe irritation or burns.
Eye Contact: Severe irritation or burns.
Chronic Exposure: Central nervous system depression.
Aggravation of Pre-existing Conditions: No information found.
SECTION 4: FIRST AID MEASURES
Inhalation
If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If
breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Prompt action is essential.
Ingestion
Induce vomiting immediately as directed by medical personnel. Never give
anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical attention.
Skin Contact
In case of contact, immediately flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15
minutes.
Eye Contact
In case of eye contact, immediately flush with plenty of water for at least 15
minutes.

SECTION 5: FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Fire: Flash Point - 116 C (241 F)
Explosion: Closed containers exposed to heat may explode.
Fire Extinguishing Media: Use water spray, alcohol foam, dry chemical or carbon
dioxide.
Special Information: Fire fighters should wear proper protective equipment and
self-contained breathing apparatus with full-face piece operated in positive
pressure mode.
SECTION 6: ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing. Stop leak if
you can do so without risk. Use water spray to reduce vapours. Take up with
sand or other non-combustible absorbent material and place into container for
later disposal. Flush spill area with water.
SECTION 7: HANDLING AND STORAGE
Keep container tightly closed. Suitable for any general chemical storage area.
Containers of this material may be hazardous when empty since they retain
product residues (vapours, liquid); observe all warnings and precautions listed for
the product.
SECTION 8: EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
Airborne Exposure Limits:
None established
Ventilation System:
A system of local and/or general exhaust is recommended to keep employee
exposures as low as possible. Local exhaust ventilation is generally preferred
because it can control the emissions of the contaminant at its source, preventing
dispersion of it into the general work area. Please refer to the ACGIH document,
Industrial ventilation, A Manual of Recommended Practices, most recent edition,
for details.

Personal Respirators (NIOSH Approved)
For conditions of use where exposure to the substance is apparent, consult an
industrial hygienist. For emergencies or instances where the exposure levels are
not known, use a full-face piece positive-pressure, air-supplied respirator.
WARNING: Air purifying respirators do not protect workers in oxygen-deficient
atmospheres.
Skin Protection
Wear impervious protective clothing, including boots, lab coat, apron or coveralls,
as appropriate, to prevent skin contact.
Eye Protection
Use chemical safety goggles and/or a full face shield where splashing is
possible. Maintain eye wash fountain and quick-drench facilities in work area.
Other Control Measures
There is insufficient data in the published literature to assign complete numerical
SAF-T-DATA ratings and laboratory protective equipment for this product.
Special precautions must be used in storage, use and handling. Protective
equipment for laboratory bench use should be chosen using professional
judgement based on the size and type of reaction or test to be conducted and the
available ventilation with overriding consideration to minimize contact with the
chemical.
