-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Potential Health Effects
----------------------------------
Inhalation: May cause irritation to the respiratory tract.
Ingestion: Causes irritation to the gastrointestinal tract. Symptoms may
include nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. May cause mild burning of mouth, throat,
and stomach. May cause muscular weakness, paralysis of the vasomotor centers
and possible cardiovascular or respiratory collapse.
Skin Contact: Brief contact may have no effect. Prolonged or repeated
contact may cause irritation, redness, itching and pain. Can be absorbed
through the skin quite readily with possible systemic effects.
Eye Contact: Causes irritation, redness, and pain.
Chronic Exposure: No information found.
Aggravation of Pre-existing Conditions: No information found.
4. First
Aid Measures
Inhalation: Remove to
fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is
difficult, give oxygen. Get medical attention.
Ingestion: Do NOT induce vomiting. Give large amounts of water. Never
give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical attention.
Skin Contact: Immediately flush skin with plenty of water for at least
15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Get medical
attention. Wash clothing before reuse. Thoroughly clean shoes before reuse.
Eye Contact: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15
minutes, lifting lower and upper eyelids occasionally. Get medical attention
immediately.
5. Fire
Fighting Measures
Fire:
Flash point: 82C (180F) CC
Combustible Liquid and Vapor!
Contact with strong oxidizers may cause fire.
Explosion: Vapors can flow along surfaces to distant ignition source and
flash back. Sealed containers may rupture when heated.
Fire Extinguishing Media: Water, dry chemical, foam or carbon dioxide.
Water spray may be used to keep fire exposed containers cool. Move exposed
containers from fire area, if it can be done without risk.
Special Information: In the event of a fire, wear full protective
clothing and NIOSH-approved self-contained breathing apparatus with full
facepiece operated in the pressure demand or other positive pressure mode.
6.
Accidental Release Measures
Ventilate
area of leak or spill. Remove all sources of ignition. Wear appropriate
personal protective equipment as specified in Section 8. Isolate hazard area.
Keep unnecessary and unprotected personnel from entering. Contain and recover
liquid when possible. Use non-sparking tools and equipment. Collect liquid in
an appropriate container or absorb with an inert material (e. g., vermiculite,
dry sand, earth), and place in a chemical waste container. Do not use
combustible materials, such as saw dust. Do not flush to sewer!
7.
Handling and Storage
Keep in a
tightly closed container. Store in a cool, dry, ventilated area away from
sources of heat or ignition. Protect against physical damage. Store separately
from reactive or combustible materials, and out of direct sunlight. Containers
of this material may be hazardous when empty since they retain product residues
(vapors, liquid); observe all warnings and precautions listed for the product.
8.
Exposure Controls/Personal Protection
Airborne
Exposure Limits: None established.
Ventilation System: A system of local and/or general exhaust is
recommended to keep employee exposures as low as possible. Local exhaust
ventilation is generally preferred because it can control the emissions of the
contaminant at its source, preventing dispersion of it into the general work
area. Please refer to the ACGIH document, Industrial Ventilation, A Manual
of Recommended Practices, most recent edition, for details.
Personal Respirators (NIOSH Approved): For conditions of use where
exposure to the substance is apparent and engineering controls are not
feasible, consult an industrial hygienist. For emergencies, or instances where
the exposure levels are not known, use a full-face piece positive-pressure,
air-supplied respirator. WARNING: Air purifying respirators do not protect
workers in oxygen-deficient atmospheres.
Skin Protection: Wear impervious protective clothing, including boots,
gloves, lab coat, apron or coveralls, as appropriate, to prevent skin contact.
Eye Protection: Use chemical safety goggles and/or a full face shield
where splashing is possible. Maintain eye wash fountain and quick-drench
facilities in work area.

Ecological Information
Environmental
Fate: When released into the soil, this material may biodegrade
to a moderate extent. When released into the soil, this material is expected to
leach into groundwater. When released into water, this material is not expected
to evaporate significantly. When released into water, this material may
biodegrade to a moderate extent. This material is not expected to significantly
bioaccumulate. When released into the air, this material is expected to be
readily degraded by reaction with photochemically produced hydroxyl radicals.
When released into the air, this material may be removed from the atmosphere to
a moderate extent by wet deposition.
Environmental Toxicity: No information found.
