| | Section 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION |
| | EMERGENCY OVERVIEWHighly flammable. May cause sensitization by inhalation and skin contact.Hygroscopic (absorbs moisture from the air).Potential Health EffectsEye:Causes eye irritation. Causes redness and pain.Skin:Causes skin irritation. May cause skin sensitization, an allergic reaction, which becomes evident upon re-exposure to this material.Causes redness and pain.Ingestion:May cause gastrointestinal irritation with nausea, vomiting and diarrhea.Inhalation:Causes respiratory tract irritation. May cause respiratory sensitization.Chronic:No information found. |
| | Section 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES |
| | Eyes: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Get medical aid immediately.Skin:Get medical aid. Immediately flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes.Ingestion:Do not induce vomiting. 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: |
| | 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. During a fire, irritating and highly toxic gases may be generated by thermal decomposition or combustion. Containers may explode in the heat of a fire. Dust can be an explosion hazard when exposed to heat or flame. Flammable solid. May re-ignite after fire is extinguished. May be ignited by friction, heat, sparks, or flame.Extinguishing Media:Use water fog, dry chemical, carbon dioxide, or regular foam. Cool containers with flooding quantities of water until well after fire is out. |
| | Section 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES |
| | General Information: Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated in Section 8.Spills/Leaks:Clean up spills immediately, observing precautions in the Protective Equipment section. Sweep up, then place into a suitable container for disposal. Avoid generating dusty conditions. Remove all sources of ignition. Use a spark-proof tool. |
| | Section 7 - HANDLING and STORAGE |
| | Handling:Wash thoroughly after handling. Minimize dust generation and accumulation. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Empty containers retain product residue, (liquid and/or vapor), and can be dangerous. Keep container tightly closed. Avoid ingestion and inhalation. Use with adequate ventilation. 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. Store in a cool, dry place.Keep container closed when not in use. Keep away from strong acids.Flammables-area. |
| | Section 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS, PERSONAL PROTECTION |
| | Engineering Controls:Use adequate general or local exhaust ventilation to keep airborne concentrations below the permissible exposure limits.Exposure Limits CAS# 100-97-0: Personal Protective Equipment Eyes: Wear appropriate protective eyeglasses or chemical safety goggles as described by OSHA's eye and face protection regulations in 29 CFR 1910.133 or European Standard EN166.Skin:Wear appropriate protective gloves to prevent skin exposure.Clothing:Wear appropriate protective clothing to prevent skin exposure.Respirators:Follow the OSHA respirator regulations found in 29 CFR 1910.134 or European Standard EN 149. Use a NIOSH/MSHA or European Standard EN 149 approved respirator if exposure limits are exceeded or if irritation or other symptoms are experienced. |
