Emergency and First Aid Procedures:
Inhalation: Remove to fresh air immediately. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen (To be
administered by qualified medical personnel only!) Get medical attention.
Ingestion: DO NOT induce vomiting. If victim is conscious and alert, give 2-4 cups of milk or water. (Never give anything by
mouth to an unconscious person!) Get medical attention immediately.
Skin: Flush skin with plenty of soap and water for at least 15 minutes. Remove contaminated clothing. Seek medical attention.
Eyes: Flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, occasionally lifting the upper and lower lids. Do not allow victim to
rub or keep eyes closed. Get medical aid immediately.
Other Health Warnings:
V. Fire Fighting Measures:
Flash Point: -16.60 F Lower Explosive Limit: 4.00 vol% Upper Explosive Limit: 57.00 vol%
F.P. Method:
Fire Extinguishing Media: Dry chemical, carbon dioxide, alcohol-resistant foam
Special Fire Fighting Procedures:
Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and protective clothing. Water may be ineffective, but may be used to cool fire-exposed
containers.
Unusual Fire and Explosion:
May catch fire if exposed to air. Vapors from this product may travel some distance from original point to an ignition source and
flash back. Acetaldehyde forms peroxides of unknown stability.
"Empty" containers may contain product residue and may be dangerous. Empty containers should be completely drained and
bunged and then disposed of according to local, state, and federal regulations.
VI. Accidental Release Measures:
Steps to be Taken in Case Material is Released or Spilled:
Wear vapor respirator, safety goggles, and rubber gloves. Remove sources of ignition (i.e. open flames, sparks). Soak up with
inert absorbent material (dry sand or earth recommended; do not use flammable substances such as sawdust). Use water spray to
dilute spill to a non-flammable mixture. Dispose according to local, state, and federal regulations.
VII. Handling and Storage:
Precautions to be Taken:
Keep in tightly closed container. Air sensitive. Refrigerate if possible. Prevent from freezing. Avoid all ignition sources (heat,
open flame, spark). Avoid incompatible materials. Use only in well-ventilated areas. Avoid contact with skin, eyes, and clothing.
Do not ingest or inhale. Wash thoroughly after handling.
Other Precautions:
Periodically test for peroxide formation on long-term storage. Addition of water or appropriate reducing materials will lessen
peroxide formation.
"Empty" containers may contain product residue and may be dangerous. Empty containers should be completely drained and
bunged and then disposed of according to local, state, and federal regulations.
