Section 3 - Hazards
Identification |
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Appearance: clear, colorless liquid. Flash Point: -20 deg C. Extremely flammable
liquid. Danger! May cause central nervous system
depression. May form explosive peroxides. This material has been reported to be
susceptible to autoxidation and therefore should be classified as peroxidizable.
Causes eye, skin, and respiratory tract irritation.
Target Organs:
Central nervous system.
Potential Health
Effects
Eye: Causes eye irritation.
Skin: Causes skin irritation.
Ingestion: May cause irritation of the digestive tract. 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.
May be harmful if swallowed.
Inhalation: Inhalation of high
concentrations may cause central nervous system effects characterized by nausea,
headache, dizziness, unconsciousness and coma. Causes respiratory tract
irritation.
Chronic: Prolonged or repeated skin contact may
cause defatting and dermatitis.
|
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 water for at
least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Get medical aid
if irritation develops or persists.
Ingestion: 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 immediately.
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.
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. Vapors can travel to a source of ignition and flash back. Use water spray
to keep fire-exposed containers cool. Extremely flammable liquid and vapor.
Vapor may cause flash fire. Water may be ineffective. Material is lighter than
water and a fire may be spread by the use of water. May form explosive
peroxides. Vapors may be heavier than air. They can spread along the ground and
collect in low or confined areas. Will be easily ignited by heat, sparks or
flame. Vapors may form an explosive mixture with air. Containers may explode if
exposed to fire.
Extinguishing Media: For small fires, use
dry chemical, carbon dioxide, water spray or alcohol-resistant foam. Use water
spray to cool fire-exposed containers. Water may be ineffective. This material
is lighter than water and insoluble in water. The fire could easily be spread by
the use of water in an area where the water cannot be contained. Do NOT use
straight streams of water. For large fires, use dry chemical, carbon dioxide,
alcohol-resistant foam, or water spray. Cool containers with flooding quantities
of water until well after fire is out.
Flash Point: -20 deg C ( -4.00
deg F)
Autoignition Temperature: 250 deg C ( 482.00 deg F)
Explosion Limits, Lower:1.30 vol %
Upper: 7.70 vol %
NFPA Rating: (estimated) Health: 1; Flammability: 4;
Instability: 1
|
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. Clean up
spills immediately, observing precautions in the Protective Equipment section.
Remove all sources of ignition. Use a spark-proof tool. Provide ventilation. A
vapor suppressing foam may be used to reduce vapors. Water spray may reduce
vapor but may not prevent ignition in closed spaces.
|
Section 7 - Handling
and Storage |
Handling: Wash thoroughly after handling. Remove
contaminated clothing and wash before reuse. Use with adequate ventilation.
Ground and bond containers when transferring material. Use spark-proof tools and
explosion proof equipment. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Empty
containers retain product residue, (liquid and/or vapor), and can be dangerous.
Keep away from heat, sparks and flame. Avoid ingestion and inhalation. If
peroxide formation is suspected, do not open or move container. 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. Do not store in
direct sunlight. Store in a tightly closed container. Keep from contact with
oxidizing materials. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from
incompatible substances. Containers should be dated when opened and tested
periodically for the presence of peroxides. Should crystals form in a
peroxidizable liquid, peroxidation may have occurred and the product should be
considered extremely dangerous. In this instance, the container should only be
opened remotely by professionals. All peroxidizable substances should be stored
away from heat and light and be protected from ignition sources.
|
Section 8 - Exposure
Controls, Personal Protection |
Engineering
Controls: Use explosion-proof ventilation equipment. 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.
