**** SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION ****
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Appearance: clear, colorless.
Flash Point: 58 deg C.
Warning! Flammable liquid. Causes respiratory tract
irritation. Keep
away from heat, sparks, and flame. Keep container closed.
May cause
digestive tract irritation. Irritant. May cause central
nervous
system depression. Aspiration hazard. May form explosive
peroxides.
May cause eye and skin irritation with possible burns.
Target
Organs: Kidneys, central nervous system.
Potential Health
Effects
Eye:
Contact with
eyes may cause severe irritation, and possible eye
burns.
Skin:
Prolonged and/or repeated contact may cause irritation and/or
dermatitis. Exposure may cause irritation and
possible burns.
Ingestion:
May cause gastrointestinal irritation with nausea, vomiting and
diarrhea. Aspiration of material into the lungs may
cause chemical
pneumonitis, which may be
fatal. May cause blue or greenish-brown
urine.
Inhalation:
Inhalation of high concentrations may cause central nervous
system
effects characterized by headache,
dizziness, unconsciousness and
coma. Causes
respiratory tract irritation. May cause kidney damage.
High concentrations may cause pulmonary edema and lung
hemmorrages.
Chronic:
Prolonged or repeated skin contact may cause defatting and
dermatitis.
**** SECTION 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES
****
Eyes:
Immediately
flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes,
occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Get medical
aid.
Skin:
Get medical
aid. Immediately flush skin with plenty of soap and
water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated
clothing
and shoes. Wash clothing before
reuse.
Ingestion:
Do NOT
induce vomiting. If victim is conscious and alert, give 2-4
cupfuls of milk or water. Never give anything by mouth to
an
unconscious person. Get medical
aid.
Inhalation:
Remove
from exposure to fresh air immediately. If not breathing,
give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give
oxygen.
Get medical aid.
Notes to Physician:
Treat symptomatically
and
****
SECTION 5 - FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES ****
General
Information:
As in any fire, wear a
self-contained breathing apparatus in
pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and full
protective gear. Vapors may form an explosive mixture
with air.
Vapors can travel to a source of
ignition and flash back. Forms
peroxides of
unknown stability. Containers may explode in the heat
of a fire. Vapors may be heavier than air. They can spread
along the
ground and collect in low or
confined areas.
Extinguishing Media:
In case of fire, use water, dry chemical, chemical foam,
or
alcohol-resistant foam. For large fires,
use water spray or fog. Do
NOT use straight
streams of water. Cool containers with flooding
quantities of water until well after fire is out.
**** SECTION 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE
MEASURES ****
General Information: Use proper personal
protective equipment as indicated
in Section 8.
Spills/Leaks:
Absorb spill with inert
material, (e.g., dry sand or earth), then
place into a chemical waste container. Avoid runoff into storm
sewers and ditches which lead to waterways. Clean up
spills
immediately, observing precautions
in the Protective Equipment
section. Remove
all sources of ignition. Use a spark-proof tool.
Provide ventilation.
**** SECTION 7 - HANDLING and STORAGE ****
Handling:
Use with adequate
ventilation. Ground and bond containers when
transferring material. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and
clothing.
Empty containers retain product
residue, (liquid and/or vapor), and
can be
dangerous. Keep container tightly closed. Avoid ingestion and
inhalation. If peroxide formation is suspected, do not open
or move
container. Do not use if the
material has evaporated to dryness. Do
not
pressurize, cut, weld, braze, solder, drill, grind, or expose
empty containers to heat, sparks or open flames.
Storage:
Keep away from sources of
ignition. Store in a tightly closed
container. Keep under a nitrogen blanket. Store in a cool, dry,
well-ventilated area away from incompatible
substances. After
opening, purge container
with nitrogen before reclosing.
Periodically test for peroxide formation on long-term storage.
Addition of water or appropriate reducing materials
will lessen
peroxide
formation.
**** SECTION 8 - EXPOSURE
CONTROLS, PERSONAL PROTECTION ****
Engineering
Controls:
Facilities storing or utilizing
this material should be equipped
with an
eyewash facility and a safety shower. Use adequate general or
local exhaust ventilation to keep airborne concentrations
below the
permissible exposure
limits.
