MSDS No.: NARK2007C
Skin, eye, respiratory, kidney, heart, central nervous system, liver, gastrointestinal system, excretory system diseases
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.
Notes to physician: Causes cardiac sensitization to endogenous catelcholamines which may lead to cardiac arrhythmias. DO
NOT use adrenergic agents such as epinephrine or pseudoepinephrine.
Other Health Warnings:
Toxicity may be increased by exposure to alcohol, steroids, and ketones.
V. Fire Fighting Measures:
Flash Point: NE Lower Explosive Limit: NE Upper Explosive Limit: NE
F.P. Method:
Fire Extinguishing Media: Water spray, dry chemical, foam
Special Fire Fighting Procedures:
Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and protective clothing.
Unusual Fire and Explosion:
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). Dispose according
to local, state, and federal regulations.
VII. Handling and Storage:
Precautions to be Taken:
Keep in closed container. Keep cool and dry. Avoid direct sunlight. Avoid ignition sources (heat, open flame, spark). Avoid
incompatible materials. Use only in well-ventilated areas. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Avoid inhalation and ingestion. Wash
thoroughly after handling.
