Section 3 - Hazards
Identification |
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Appearance: colorless or slight yellow liquid. Flash Point: 67 deg C.
Combustible
liquid and vapor. May cause central nervous system depression.
Hygroscopic (absorbs moisture from the air). Caution! May be
harmful if swallowed or absorbed through the skin. May cause eye and skin
irritation. May cause respiratory tract irritation.
Target Organs:
Central nervous system, eyes, skin, mucous membranes.
Potential Health Effects
Eye: Contact with eyes may cause severe irritation,
and possible eye burns. May cause chemical conjunctivitis and corneal damage.
Skin: Causes skin irritation. May cause irritation and
dermatitis. May cause cyanosis of the extremities.
Ingestion: Causes gastrointestinal irritation with nausea,
vomiting and diarrhea. May cause central nervous system depression,
characterized by excitement, followed by headache, dizziness, drowsiness, and
nausea. Advanced stages may cause collapse, unconsciousness, coma and possible
death due to respiratory failure.
Inhalation: Inhalation of
high concentrations may cause central nervous system effects characterized by
nausea, headache, dizziness, unconsciousness and coma. Causes respiratory tract
irritation. Aspiration may lead to pulmonary edema. Inhalation at high
concentrations may cause CNS depression and asphixiation.
Chronic: Prolonged or repeated skin contact may cause
defatting and dermatitis. Effects may be delayed. Prolonged exposure may cause
non-specific nervous system effects.
|
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. Flush skin with plenty
of 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 and move to fresh air
immediately. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is
difficult, give oxygen. Get medical aid. Do NOT use mouth-to-mouth
resuscitation.
Notes to Physician: Treat symptomatically
and supportively.
|
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. Containers may explode in the heat of a
fire. 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. Do NOT use straight streams
of water. Cool containers with flooding quantities of water until well after
fire is out.
Flash Point: 67 deg C ( 152.60 deg F)
Autoignition Temperature: 300 deg C ( 572.00 deg F)

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. vermiculite, sand or earth), then place in suitable container. Avoid
runoff into storm sewers and ditches which lead to waterways. Do not flush into
a sewer. Clean up spills immediately, observing precautions in the Protective
Equipment section. Use water spray to disperse the gas/vapor. Remove all sources
of ignition. Use a spark-proof tool. Provide ventilation.
|
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. Keep away from 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. Store in a cool,
dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible substances. Flammables-area.
Keep containers tightly closed.
