Potential Health Effects
----------------------------------
Inhalation:
May cause nausea, irritation of mucous membranes.
Ingestion:
None identified.
Skin Contact:
May cause irritation.
Eye Contact:
May cause irritation, may cause eye damage.
Chronic Exposure:
No information found.
Aggravation of Pre-existing Conditions:
No information found.
4. First Aid Measures
Inhalation:
If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial
respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Prompt action is
essential.
Ingestion:
Induce vomiting immediately as directed by medical personnel. Never give
anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical attention.
Skin Contact:
Remove contaminated clothing. Wash skin with soap and water. Obtain
medical attention if irritation persists. Wash clothing before reuse.
Eye Contact:
Immediately flush eyes with gentle but large stream of water for at least
15 minutes, lifting lower and upper eyelids occasionally. Call a physician
immediately.
5. Fire Fighting Measures
Fire:
Flash point: 91C (196F) CC
Autoignition temperature: 238C (460F)
Explosion:
Combustible liquid. Avoid heat, sparks and open flame.
Fire Extinguishing Media:
Use alcohol foam, dry chemical or carbon dioxide. (Water may be
ineffective.)
Special Information:
Firefighters should wear proper protective equipment and self-contained
breathing apparatus with full facepiece operated in positive pressure mode.
Move exposed containers from fire area if it can be done without risk. Use
water to keep fire-exposed containers cool.
6. Accidental Release Measures
Wear suitable protective clothing. Shut off ignition sources; no flares,
smoking, or flames in area. Stop leak if you can do so without risk. Use
water spray to reduce vapors. Take up with sand or other non-combustible
absorbent material and place into container for later disposal. Flush area
with water.
7. Handling and Storage
Keep container tightly closed. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated,
flammable liquid storage area or cabinet. 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, consult
an industrial hygienist. For emergencies, or instances where the exposure
levels are not known, use a full-facepiece 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.
