(BHT) as an inhibitor to prevent or reduce the information of potentially
explosive peroxides.
3. HAZARD IDENTIFICATION
Emergency Overview: Danger: Extremely flammable. Breathing high concentrations
of vapor or mist may cause nausea, vomiting, central nervous system (CNS)
depression and asphyxiation. Symptoms may include headache, dizziness, blurred
vision, slurred speech, memory loss, confusion, fatigue, loss of consciousness,
convulsions, paralysis, or coma.
This material is irritating to skin, eyes and respiratory tract. Keep away from
heat, sparks and flame. Prolonged or repeated inhalation or ingestion may
result
in kidney and liver changes.
HMIS Classification; Health: *2 Flammability: 4 Physical Hazard: 2
NFPA Rating: Health: 2 Flammability: 4 Reactivity: 1
4. FIRST AID MEASURES
Eye Contact: In case of contact, or suspected contact, immediately flush eyes
with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes and get medical attention
immediately after flushing. Do not permit victim to rub eyes.
Ingestion; If swallowed, call a physician immediately. Only induce vomiting
at
the instruction of a physician. Never give anything by mouth to an
unconscious person. Get medical attention! If vomiting occurs, keep
head lower than hips to prevent aspiration.
Inhalation: If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing give artificial
respiration, preferable mouth-to-mouth. If breathing is difficult give
oxygen. Get medical attention.
Skin Contact; Wash with soap and water for 15 minutes. If irritation persists
or
signs of toxicity occur, seek medical attention. Remove contaminated
clothing and shoes, and launder before reuse.
5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Flammable Properties:
Flash Point 潞F (潞C): -76F
Flash Point Method; TAG Closed Cup
Flammable Limits in Air-Lower (%): 1.2% (Lowest Component)
Flammable Limits in Air-Upper (%): 6.7% (Lowest Component)
Autoignition Temperature 潞F (潞C): 356 F (Lowest Component)
Extinguishing Media; Dry chemical. Carbon dioxide. Alcohol foam.
Use water spray to keep containers cool that are exposed to
heat or
flames.
Protection Of Fire-Fighters:
Special Fire-Fighting Procedures: Wear approved positive-pressure self-
contained
breathing apparatus and protective clothing. Vapor
may cause flash fire. Fight from a maximum
distance or use unmanned hose holders or monitor
nozzles. Containers can build up pressure if exposed
to heat: cool with flooding quantities of water until
well after the fire is out. With draw immediately in
case of rising sound from venting safety devices or
discoloration of vessel.
Hazardous Combustion Products; Carbon Dioxide. Carbon Monoxide.
NFPA Level 3 Aerosol
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Personal Precautions; Wear appropriate protective clothing and equipment
to
prevent skin and eye contact.
Spill Procedures; Contain any liquid from leaking containers. Avoid all
sources of ignition: heat, sparks and open flames. Do not
puncture or incinerate container. Contents under pressure.
Wear proper protective equipment as specified in the
protective equipment section. Remove sources of ignition.
Leaking containers should be removed to an isolated, well-
ventilated area and transferred to other suitable containers.
Wipe, scrape, or soak up in an inert material and put in a
container intended for flammable materials for disposal.
Environmental Precautions: Do not allow to enter sanitary drains, sewer or
surface and subsurface waters. Keep out of lakes, ponds or streams.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Handling and Storage: Caution: Contents under pressure. Keep away from
heat
and open flame. Use only in a well ventilated area. Avoid
breathing vapors, if exposed to high vapor concentration,
leave area at once. Avoid contact with skin and eyes.
Do not puncture, incinerate or store above 120F. Exposure
to high temperatures may cause bursting. DO NOT store in
the passenger compartment of an automobile. Store in a
cool, dry place, out of direct sunlight.
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
Engineering Controls: Use in a well ventilated area. Local exhaust
ventilation
as necessary to maintain exposures to within applicable limits.
Eyes: Chemical goggles: also wear a face shield if splashing
hazard exists.
Skin Protection; Avoid skin contact. Wear protective clothing and gloves.
Respiratory Protection; Do not breath mist or vapor. Use in a well ventilated
area. Appropriate respiratory protection shall be worn when
applied engineering controls are not adequate to protect
against inhalation exposure.
