Section 3 - Hazards Identification

Appearance: colorless to yellow-red liquid.
Warning! Causes eye and skin irritation. May be harmful if swallowed. This substance has caused adverse reproductive and fetal effects in animals. May cause liver and kidney damage. May cause pulmonary edema. May cause central nervous system effects. May cause cardiac disturbances.
Target Organs: Kidneys, heart, central nervous system, liver.


Potential Health Effects
Eye: May cause eye irritation.
Skin: Causes moderate skin irritation. May be absorbed through the skin in harmful amounts.
Ingestion: May cause nausea and vomiting. May be harmful if swallowed. Systemic effects of exposure include initial stimulation and later central nervous system depression. Symptoms include convulsions, respiratory failure, cardiac collapse, and possible death.
Inhalation: Causes respiratory tract irritation. Irritation may lead to chemical pneumonitis and pulmonary edema. May cause effects similar to those described for ingestion. May cause lung damage.
Chronic: May cause liver and kidney damage. Repeated exposure may cause metabolic disturbances.

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.
Skin: Immediately flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Get medical aid if irritation develops or persists. Wash clothing before reuse.
Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting. If victim is conscious and alert, give 2-4 cupfuls of milk or water. Get medical aid immediately. Call a poison control center.
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. Do NOT use mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.
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. Vapors can travel to a source of ignition and flash back. During a fire, irritating and highly toxic gases may be generated by thermal decomposition or combustion. Use water spray to keep fire-exposed containers cool. Vapors may be heavier than air. They can spread along the ground and collect in low or confined areas. Containers may explode when heated.
Extinguishing Media: Water or foam may cause frothing. Use carbon dioxide or dry chemical. Cool containers with flooding quantities of water until well after fire is out.
Flash Point: 96.1 deg C ( 204.98 deg F)
Autoignition Temperature: 454.4 deg C ( 849.92 deg F)
Explosion Limits, Lower:Not available.
Upper: Not available.
NFPA Rating: (estimated) Health: 1; Flammability: 1; Instability: 0

Section 6 - Accidental Release Measures

General Information: Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated in Section 8.
Spills/Leaks: Avoid runoff into storm sewers and ditches which lead to waterways. Clean up spills immediately, observing precautions in the Protective Equipment section. Remove all sources of ignition. Absorb spill using an absorbent, non-combustible material such as earth, sand, or vermiculite. Do not use combustible materials such as sawdust. Provide ventilation.

Section 7 - Handling and Storage

Handling: Wash thoroughly after handling. Remove contaminated clothing and wash before reuse. Use with adequate ventilation. Ground and bond containers when transferring material. Do not get on skin or in eyes. Do not ingest or inhale.
Storage: Keep from contact with oxidizing materials. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible substances.

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 general or local exhaust ventilation to keep airborne concentrations below the permissible exposure limits.
