Section III - Physical/Chemical Characteristics of Hazardous Ingredients
BOILING POINT: 290o C SPECIFIC GRAVITY: 1.84
VAPOR PRESSURE: <0.001mm Hg @ 20o C SOLUBILITY IN WATER: Soluble APPEARANCE/ODOR: Odorless, clear, colorless,
dense, hygroscopic, oily liquid.
Section IV - Fire and Explosion Hazard Data
FLASH POINT (Method used): Non-flammable AUTO IGNITION TEMPERATURE: N/A FLAMMABLE LIMITS LEL N/A UEL N/A
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Dry chemical or carbon dioxide
SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES: Move containers, cool if possible. Do not use water directly on material. Avoid breathing vapors, use water spray to knock
down.
UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS: Contact with metals may evolve hydrogen gas. May ignite combustible materials on contact.
Section V - Reactivity Data
Unstable Stable Conditions to Avoid: Violent exothermic reactions with water and organic materials.
STABILITY:
INCOMPATIBILITY (Materials to avoid):
Explosive or violent reactions with acetone cyanohydrin, acetone and nitric acid or potassium dichromate, acrylonitrite, alcohol鈥檚, hydrogen peroxide, allyl chloride,
bromates and metals, bromine pentafluoride, carbides, all chlorates, chlorine trifluoride, cuprous nitride, ethylene cyanohydrin, fulminates, indane and nitric acid, iron,
mercuric nitride, nitric acid and glycerides, p-nitrotoluene, pentasilver, trihydroxydiaminophosphate, perchlorates, phosphorus isocyanate picrates, silver permanganate,
sodium, sodium carbonate, toluene and nitric acid. Dangerous temperatures and pressures occur with substances, especially organic combinations. Explosive
hydrogen gas is evolved from contact with steel, other metals.
HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS: Toxic fumes of sulfur oxides. Hydrogen gas may be generated.
HAZARDOUS May Occur Will Not Occur Conditions to Avoid: N/A

Section VI - Health Hazard Data
ROUTES OF Inhalation? Yes Skin? Yes Ingestion? Yes
HEALTH HAZARDS (Acute and Chronic): ACUTE - at 5mg/M3 concentrations, nose and throat irritation occurs, with headache, cough, increased respiratory rate,
impairment of lung to ventilate. Delayed symptoms include tight chest, fluid in lungs, cyanosis (blue color), hypotension, bronchitis or emphysema. Skin contact may
result in severe burns, blistering, pain. Eye contact can result in blindness; exposure to mist leads to watering, irritation. Ingestion can cause severe burning and pain of
mouth, throat, abdomen. Vomiting and diarrhea of dark blood may occur; asphyxia from throat swelling. Stomach and esophagus may become perforated.
CHRONIC -
Tracheobronchitis, dental erosion/discoloration, pneumonia, gastrointestinal disturbances may occur. Skin irritation/dermatitis, conjunctivitis and lacrimation of the eye
can occur.
COMPONENTS LISTED AS CARCINOGENS OR POTENTIAL CARCINOGENS: N/A
SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF EXPOSURE: Irritation, burns of eyes, skin, and respiratory tract.
MEDICAL CONDITIONS GENERALLY AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE: Respiratory ailments, skin irritations.
EMERGENCY AND FIRST AID PROCEDURES:
Inhalation: Move victim to fresh air, give artificial respiration if necessary. Maintain airway, get medical aid at once. Skin: Remove contaminated clothing, wash affected
area with soap and water, flush with large amounts of water (15-20 minutes). For burns apply loose non-medicated sterile bandages. Get medical aid at once.
Ingestion: Give conscious victim large quantities of water to dilute acid. Do not induce vomiting. Give one ounce (30ml) of milk of magnesia. Get medical aid at once.
Section VII - Precautions for Safe Handling and Use
STEPS TO BE TAKEN IN CASE MATERIAL IS RELEASED OR SPILLED: May neutralize with lime, limestone or Sodium Bicarbonate. Absorb with
non reactive material. Wash down with water.
WASTE DISPOSAL METHOD: Dispose of in a manner consistent with federal, state and local regulations.
PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN IN HANDLING AND STORAGE: Store at room temperature, capped.
OTHER PRECAUTIONS* Avoid vapors, wear protective clothing, gloves.
Section VIII - Control Measures
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION (Please specify): Follow OSHA respirator regulations found in 29CFR 1010.134 when necessary.
VENTILATION: Provide local exhaust or general dilution ventilation.
PROTECTIVE GLOVES: Wear appropriate gloves EYE PROTECTION: Wear appropriate protective glasses or chemical safety
goggles.
OTHER PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT: N/A
EMERGENCY WASH FACILITIES: Provide eye-wash fountain in work area.
