**** SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION ****
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Appearance: yellow. Flash Point: 4 deg C.
Danger! Flammable liquid. Causes respiratory tract irritation.
Causes skin irritation. May cause eye irritation. This substance
has
caused adverse reproductive and fetal effects in animals. May cause
central nervous system depression. Aspiration hazard. Causes
digestive tract irritation. May cause liver damage. May cause kidney
damage. Harmful or fatal if swallowed. Vapor harmful. Call physician
immmediately.
Target Organs: Kidneys, heart, central nervous system, liver.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Causes eye irritation.
May result in corneal injury. Vapors may
cause eye irritation.
Skin:
May cause skin
irritation. Prolonged and/or repeated contact may
cause irritation
and/or dermatitis.
Ingestion:
Aspiration hazard.
May cause irritation of the digestive tract. May
cause effects
similar to those for inhalation exposure. Aspiration
of material into
the lungs may cause chemical pneumonitis, which may
be fatal.
Inhalation:
Inhalation of
high concentrations may cause central nervous system
effects characterized
by headache, dizziness, unconsciousness and
coma. Inhalation
of vapor may cause respiratory tract irritation. May
cause heart disturbances,
possibly leading to cardiac arrest and
death.
Chronic:
Prolonged or repeated
skin contact may cause dermatitis. May cause
cardiac sensitization
and severe heart abnormalities. May cause liver
and kidney damage.
**** 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
immediately.
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.
Ingestion:
Do NOT induce
vomiting. If victim is conscious and alert, give 2-4
cupfuls of milk
or water. Possible aspiration hazard. Get medical aid
immediately.
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:
Causes cardiac
sensitization to endogenous catelcholamines which may
lead to cardiac
arrhythmias. Do NOT use adrenergic agents such as
epinephrine or
pseudoepinephrine.
**** SECTION 5 - FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES ****
General Information:
Containers can
build up pressure if exposed to heat and/or fire. As
in any fire, wear
a self-contained breathing apparatus in
pressure-demand,
MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and full
protective gear.
Water runoff can cause environmental damage. Dike
and collect water
used to fight fire. Vapors can travel to a source
of ignition and
flash back. Flammable Liquid. Can release vapors
that form explosive
mixtures at temperatures above the flashpoint.
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.
Extinguishing Media:
Use dry chemical,
carbon dioxide, or alcohol-resistant foam.
**** SECTION 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES ****
General Information: Use proper personal protective
equipment as indicated
in Section 8.
Spills/Leaks:
Clean up spills
immediately, observing precautions in the Protective
Equipment section.
Remove all sources of ignition. Absorb spill using
an absorbent,
non-combustible material such as earth, sand, or
vermiculite. Provide
ventilation.
**** SECTION 7 - HANDLING and STORAGE ****
Handling:
Remove contaminated
clothing and wash before reuse. Use with
adequate ventilation.
Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing.
Empty containers
retain product residue, (liquid and/or vapor), and
can be dangerous.
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
sources of ignition. Store in a cool, dry,
well-ventilated
area away from incompatible substances.
Flammables-area.
**** SECTION 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS, PERSONAL PROTECTION ****
Engineering Controls:
Use adequate general
or local explosion-proof ventilation to keep
airborne levels
to acceptable levels.
