EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Appearance: clear brown yellow liquid. Flash Point: 32 deg C.
Warning! Flammable liquid and
vapor. Causes eye, skin, and respiratory tract
irritation. Keep refrigerated. (Store below 4°C/39°F.) The
toxicological properties of this material have not been fully
investigated.
Target Organs: Respiratory system, eyes, skin.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Causes eye irritation.
Skin:
Causes skin irritation.
Ingestion:
May cause irritation of the digestive tract.
Inhalation:
Causes respiratory tract irritation. The toxicological properties of
this substance have not been fully investigated. Vapors may cause
dizziness or suffocation.
Chronic:
No information found.
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.
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:
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. Wash mouth out with water.
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. Use water spray to keep fire-exposed containers
cool. Flammable liquid and vapor. Vapors are heavier than air and may
travel to a source of ignition and flash back. Vapors can spread
along the ground and collect in low or confined areas.
Extinguishing Media:
For small fires, use dry chemical, carbon dioxide, water spray or
alcohol-resistant foam. For large fires, use water spray, fog, or
alcohol-resistant foam. Do NOT use straight streams of water.
Flash Point: 32 deg C ( 89.60 deg F)
Autoignition Temperature: Not available.
Explosion Limits, Lower:Not available.
Upper: Not available.
NFPA Rating:
(estimated) Health: 2; Flammability: 3; Instability: 0
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. Remove all sources of ignition.
Use a spark-proof tool. Provide ventilation.
Section 7 - Handling and Storage
|
Handling:
Use with adequate ventilation. Ground and bond containers when
transferring material. Use spark-proof tools and explosion proof
equipment. Avoid breathing dust, vapor, mist, or gas. 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:
Refrigerator/flammables.
Section 8 - Exposure Controls, Personal Protection
|
Engineering Controls:
Facilities storing or utilizing this material should be equipped
with an eyewash facility and a safety shower. Use adequate
ventilation to keep airborne concentrations low. Ventilation fans
and other electrical service must be non-sparking and have an
explosion-proof design.
