SECTION 3 HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION

EMERGENCY OVERVIEW:

CAUTION! PULMONARY ASPIRATION HAZARD- CAN ENTER LUNGS AND CAUSE DAMAGE.

POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS

INHALATION: Inhalation of high concentrations of mist may cause headache, nausea, and respiratory irritation. Inhalation of high concentrations may have narcotic effects.

EYE CONTACT: Contact with the eyes may cause irritation.

SKIN CONTACT: Brief contact is not irritating. Prolonged or repeated contact can cause dermatitis.

INGESTION: Ingestion may cause gastrointestinal irritation, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. Aspiration may occur during swallowing or vomiting resulting in lung damage.

CHRONIC: Medical conditions aggravated by exposure, kidney problems, skin disorders, and allergies.

HMIS HAZARD CODE: HEALTH: 0 FLAMMABILITY: 1 REACTIVITY: 0

SECTION 4 FIRST AID MEASURES

INHALATION: Remove to fresh air. If breathing has stopped, give artificial respiration. Call a physician if irritation persists.

EYE CONTACT: Flush eyes with water for at least 15 minutes. Call a physician if irritation persists.

SKIN CONTACT: Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash exposed areas with soap and water. Call a physician if irritation persists.

INGESTION: Consult a physician. If victim is conscious, give 2 glasses of water, but do not induce vomiting. If vomiting occurs, give fluids again. Have medical personnel determine if evacuation of stomach or induction of vomiting is necessary. Do not give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.

NOTES TO PHYSICIAN: Aspiration of this product during emesis may result in severe lung injury. If evacuation of stomach is necessary, use method least likely to cause aspiration, such as gastric lavage after endotracheal intubation. Contact a poison control center for additional treatment information.

SECTION 5 FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES

FLASHPOINT AND METHOD: 212F 100C CC

FLAMMABLE LIMITS LFL: 2.6, UFL: 12.5

GENERAL HAZARD: None

FIRE FIGHTING

INSTRUCTIONS: Use water spray, carbon dioxide, dry chemical, or foam.

FIRE FIGHTING

EQUIPMENT: Use NIOSH approved self contained breathing apparatus and complete protective clothing when fighting chemical fires. Cool fire –exposed containers with water spray. Water or foam may cause frothing.

HAZARDOUS COMBUSTION

PRODUCTS: Combustion generates toxic oxides of carbon and irritating aldehydes and ketones.

SECTION 6 ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

LAND SPILL: Small spills: contain spill and ventilate area. Absorb on inert media and containerize for disposal.

Large spills: contain spill and ventilate area. Permit only trained personnel wearing full protective equipment to enter the spill area. Collect the spill in a waste container or remove with a vacuum truck. Prevent spill from entering natural watercourses. Wear complete protective clothing when cleaning up chemical spills. Spills and releases may have to be reported to federal and/or local authorities. Use the regulatory information section (section 15) regarding reporting requirements.
