EMERGENCY OVERVIEW:
Colorless to light yellow liquid with an amine odor. Corrosive.
Combustible liquid. A possible skin sensitizer. Toxic by
inhalation.Vapors will cause irritation to the respiratory tract
and mucous membranes.
BREATHING: Breathing vapors or mist may cause irritation to nose,
throat and lungs.
SKIN CONTACT: Corrosive, contact with skin may result in strong
irritation and burns.
EYE CONTACT: Severely irritating to the eyes.
SWALLOWING: Substance may be harmful if swallowed.
LONG TERM HEALTH EFFECTS: Not known.
CONDITIONS AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE: Not known.
_________________________________________________________________
FIRST AID MEASURES
_________________________________________________________________
BREATHING: Remove to fresh air. If not breathing give artificial
respiration or give oxygen by trained personnel. Seek
immediate medical attention.
SKIN: Immediately flush with water for at least 15 minutes.
Use soap if available. Remove contaminated clothing,
including shoes after flushing has begun. Get prompt
medical attention. Thoroughly wash contaminated
clothing and shoes or discard in a manner which limits
further exposures.
EYE: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at
least 15 minutes, holding eyelids apart. Get medical
attention if irritation or other symptoms occur.
SWALLOWING: Dilute with milk or water. Get immediate medical
2
attention. Never give anything by mouth to

ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
_________________________________________________________________
GENERAL: This material should be prevented from contaminating soil or
from entering sewage and drainage systems and bodies of
water. Isolate hazard area. Keep unnecessary and
unprotected personnel from entering. Prevent skin and
eye contact. (See Exposure Controls/Personal Protection)
SMALL SPILL: Absorb spill with inert material (e.g., dry sand or
earth), then place in a chemical waste container.
LARGE SPILL:
Shut off leak, if safe to do so. Clean up spills immediately,
observing precautions in Protective Equipment section. Contain
spilled liquid with sand or earth. Retain all contaminated
water for removal and treatment.

HANDLING AND STORAGE
_________________________________________________________________
HANDLING:
Use with adequate ventilation. Wash thoroughly after handling.
Follow all MSDS/label precautions even after container is
emptied because they may retain product residues. Avoid contact
with eyes and skin. Avoid breathing vapors.
STORAGE:
Keep away from ignition sources. Store in accordance with OSHA
regulations and NFPA guidelines. Keep container closed when not
in use.

EXPOSURE LEVELS:
OSHA ACGIH
COMPONENT TWA STEL CEL TWA STEL CEL
None Not Available
ENGINEERING CONTROLS:
Use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other
4
engineering controls to control sources of dust, mist or vapor.
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION:
Use a NIOSH/MSHA approved air purifying respirator as needed to
control exposure. Consult with respirator manufacturer to
determine respirator selection, use, and limitations. Use a
positive pressure air supplied respirator for uncontrolled
releases or when air purifying respirator limitations may be
exceeded. Follow respiratory protection program requirements
(OSHA 1910.134 and ANSI Z88.2) for all respirator use.
EYE/FACE PROTECTION:
Wear splash-proof chemical goggles and a faceshield.
SKIN PROTECTION:
Wear impervious gloves and chemical protective clothing,
including impervious sleevelets, overalls, aprons or boots
as needed to prevent contact with skin.
