**** SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION ****
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Appearance: clear. Flash Point: 121 deg F.
Warning! Combustible liquid. Causes skin irritation. Causes eye
irritation. May cause allergic skin reaction. May cause digestive
tract irritation. Cancer suspect agent. May cause central nervous
system depression. Aspiration hazard.
Target Organs: Central nervous system.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
May cause eye
irritation. May cause chemical conjunctivitis and
corneal damage.
Skin:
May cause skin
irritation. May cause skin sensitization, an allergic
reaction, which
becomes evident upon re-exposure to this material.
May cause irritation
and dermatitis. May cause cyanosis of the
extremities.
Ingestion:
Aspiration hazard.
May cause gastrointestinal irritation with
nausea, vomiting
and diarrhea.
Inhalation:
Inhalation of
high concentrations may cause central nervous system
effects characterized
by headache, dizziness, unconsciousness and
coma. Causes respiratory
tract irritation. Aspiration may lead to
pulmonary edema.
Chronic:
Possible cancer
hazard based on tests with laboratory animals.
Effects may be
delayed.
**** SECTION 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES ****
Eyes:
Flush eyes with
plenty of water for at least 15 minutes,
occasionally lifting
the upper and lower eyelids. Get medical aid.
Skin:
Flush skin with
plenty of soap and water for at least 15 minutes
while removing
contaminated clothing and shoes. Get medical aid if
irritation develops
or persists. 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. Get medical aid. DO NOT use
mouth-to-mouth
respiration. Possible aspiration hazard.
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.
During a fire, irritating and highly toxic gases
may be generated
by thermal decomposition or combustion. Use water
spray to keep
fire-exposed containers cool. Water may be ineffective.
Material is lighter
than water and a fire may be spread by the use of
water. Combustible
Liquid. Vapors may be heavier than air. They can
spread along the
ground and collect in low or confined areas.
Containers may
explode when heated.
Extinguishing Media:
In case of fire,
use water, dry chemical, chemical foam, or
alcohol-resistant
foam. Use water spray to cool fire-exposed
containers. Water
may be ineffective.
**** 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.
**** SECTION 7 - HANDLING and STORAGE ****
Handling:
Wash thoroughly
after handling. Use only in a well ventilated area.
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 contact with heat, sparks and flame.
Avoid ingestion
and inhalation. Do not pressurize, cut, weld, braze,
solder, drill,
grind, or expose empty containers to heat, sparks or
open flames.
Storage:
Keep away from
heat, sparks, and flame. Keep away from sources of
ignition. Store
in a tightly closed container. Keep from contact
with oxidizing
materials. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area
away from incompatible
substances.
**** 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
ventilation to
keep airborne concentrations low.
