SECTION 3: HAZARD IDENTIFICATION
Emergency Overview: Clear, colorless liquid. Flash point: -30C. Extremely flammable liquid and vapor. Vapor may cause flash
fire. May be fatal if inhaled, absorbed through skin, or swallowed. Can cause birth defects. Affects the central and peripheral
nervous systems, cardiovascular system, liver, and kidneys.
Potential Health Effects
Inhalation: Vapors cause irritation to the respiratory tract, followed by symptoms of headache, dizziness, fatigue, garlic breath,
nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pains. Affects the central nervous system and peripheral nervous system. Overexposure may
produce hallucinations, narcosis, unconsciousness, convulsions, and even death.
Ingestion: Symptoms parallel those of inhalation. May cause permanent disabilities described below in Chronic Exposure.
Skin Contact: May produce reddening and burning, cracking and peeling. Contact with liquid for several minutes may result in a
second-degree burn. Skin absorption can occur even in the presence of vapors, with toxic effects paralleling inhalation.
Eye Contact: Vapors cause eye irritation. Splashes cause severe irritation, possible corneal burns and eye damage.
Chronic Exposure: Kidney and liver damage, reproductive disorders, central and peripheral nervous system damage, vision
problems, psychosis, and cardiovascular effects are associated with chronic exposure to Carbon Disulfide
Carcinogen Status: NTP: Not listed IARC: Not listed.
SECTION 4: FIRST AID INFORMATION
Inhalation: Get medical attention immediately. If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing
is difficult, give oxygen.
MSDS# 1002- 741031 Revision 2 Effective Date 06/27/07 Page 1 of 4
Ingestion: If swallowed, do not induce vomiting unless directed to do so by medical personnel. Never give anything by mouth to an
unconscious person. Loosen tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt or waistband. Get medical attention immediately.
Skin Contact: In case of contact, immediately flush skin with plenty of soap and water for at least 15 minutes. Remove
contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash clothing before reuse. Get medical attention immediately.
Eye Contact: Flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Get medical
attention immediately. Do NOT allow victim to rub or keep eyes closed.
Note: Since effects may be delayed, keep victim under observation.
SECTION 5: FIRE-FIGHTING INFORMATION
Fire: Flash point (closed cup): -30C (-22F)
Autoignition temperature: 90.05掳 (194.1掳
C F)
Flammable limits in air % by volume: Lower = 1.3 Upper = 50
NFPA Rating: health-3; flammability-4; reactivity-0
Explosion: Above flash point, vapor-air mixtures are explosive within flammable limits noted above. Vapors can flow along
surfaces to distant ignition source and flash back. Sealed containers may rupture when heated. Contact with strong oxidizers may
cause fire. Sensitive to static discharge.
Fire Extinguishing Media: Dry chemical, foam or carbon dioxide. Fluoroprotein and protein foams are recommended over other
types for carbon disulfide. Water spray may be used to keep fire exposed containers cool.
SECTION 6: ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Ventilate area of leak or spill. Remove all sources of ignition. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment as specified in
Section 8. Isolate hazard area. Keep unnecessary and unprotected personnel from entering. Contain and recover liquid when
possible. Use non-sparking tools and equipment. Collect liquid in an appropriate container or absorb with an inert material (e. g.,
vermiculite, dry sand, earth), and place in a chemical waste container. Do not use combustible materials, such as saw dust. Do not
flush to sewer!
SECTION 7: HANDLING AND STORAGE
Handling: Wash thoroughly after handling. Remove contaminated clothing and wash before reuse. Use only in a well-ventilated
area. Keep container tightly closed. Avoid contact with heat, sparks and flame. Do not get on skin or in eyes. Avoid ingestion and
inhalation.
Storage: Protect against physical damage. Store in a tightly closed container. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from
incompatible substances.
SECTION 8: EXPOSURE CONTROL/PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
Airborne Exposure Limits: United States - OSHA Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL): 20 ppm (TWA); ceiling concentration 30
ppm; peak concentration 100 ppm/30 minute/8 hour
United States - ACGIH Threshold Limit Value (TLV): 10 ppm (TWA) (skin)
Australia: Time-weighted average 10 ppm (30 mg/m3), Skin, JAN1993
The Netherlands: MAC-TGG 20 ppm (60 mg/m3), Skin, JAN1999
Personal Protective Equipment
Eye Protection: Wear appropriate protective eyeglasses or chemical safety goggles as described by OSHA's eye and face
protection regulations in 29 CFR 1910.133 or European Standard EN166. Maintain eye wash fountain and quick-drench facilities in
work area.
Skin Protection: Wear impervious gloves, apron, and/or clothing.
Clothing: Wear appropriate protective clothing to prevent skin exposure.
Respirators: Follow the OSHA respirator regulations found in 29CFR 1910.134 or European Standard EN 149. Use a NIOSH or
European Standard EN 149 approved respirator when necessary. Ventilation System: A system of local and/or general exhaust is
recommended to keep employee exposures below the Airborne Exposure Limits. 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.
