Lower: 90% Upper: 12.5%
Extinguishing Media: CO2 , foam, dry chemical Auto Ignition Temperature: 410 degrees C
Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: During a fire, irritating and highly toxic gases may be generated by thermal decomposition or
combustion.
Special Fire Fighting Procedures: Use proper respiratory protection against fumes such as self-contained breathing apparatus.
SECTION 5 鈥? HEALTH INFORMATION
Primary Routes of Exposure (# 6409): Inhalation, contact with eyes or skin
Signs & Symptoms of Exposure:
(1) Acute Overexposure 鈥? Irritation of eyes, nose & throat. Splashes in the eyes or on the skin can cause severe burns. Inhalation of
vapor may also irritate mucous membranes & respiratory tract.
(2) Chronic Overexposure 鈥? Prolonged or repeated exposure to the skin may cause irritation of the skin.
Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure:
Impaired pulmonary function, pre -existing eye problems, pre -existing skin disorders.
Chemical Component Listed as Carcinogen or Potential Carcinogen: NTP IARC OSHA
Fast Blue B Salt (unknown as no studies have been done) No Yes No
Other Exposure Limits: Not known
Emergency & First Aid Procedures: In case of contact immediately flush eyes or skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes
while removing contaminated clothing & shoes. Call a Physician. If NaOH is swallowed dilute with several glasses of water or milk
and then induce vomiting. If trichloroethylene is swallowed, induce vomiting and repeat until fluid is clear. Call a physician.
SECTION 6 鈥? REACTIVITY DATA
Stability: Unstable _Stable X Conditions to Avoid: May burn but does not ignite readily (trichloroethylene).
Incompatibility (Material to Avoid): Strong oxidizers
Hazardous Decomposition Products: Trichloroethylene may decompose to toxic fumes of phosgene when in contact with certain
metals or at high temperatures.
Hazardous Polymerization: Will not occur. Conditions to Avoid: Avoid contact with powdered metals or strong alkali.
SECTION 7 鈥? SPILL OR LEAK PROCEDURES
Steps to be taken in case material leaks or spills: Eliminate all sources of ignition. Cover with vermiculite to absorb. Add water if
necessary to form a slurry.
Disposal Method: Dispose of wastes in accordance with Federal, State & local codes. DO NOT allow Isopropylamine to enter a sewer
because of the possibility of an explosion.
SECTION 8 鈥? PERSONAL PROTECTIVE INFORMATION
Respiratory Protection: Respiratory protection is not required under normal & intended uses. NIOSH approved organic vapor
respirator used for minor spill cleanup.
Ventilation: Room ventilation is expected to be adequate except during spills or fires.
Protective Gloves: Required when contact exists
Eye Protection: Required when possibility of contact exists.
Other Protective Clothing or Equipment: An eye wash fountain & safety shower should be readily available where the potential for
contact exists.
SECTION 9 鈥? SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS
Precautions to be taken in handling & storing: Store & handle according to packaging instructions. Store in cool, well-ventilated area.
Keep away from reactive materials.
Other Precautions: Do not get in eyes, on skin or on clothing. Avoid breathing vapors. Wash thoroughly after handling.
