13463-40-6	Iron pentacarbonyl	99.5	236-670-8

Section 3 - Hazards Identification

Appearance: light yellow to dark red-brown liquid. Flash Point: -15 deg C.
Danger! May be fatal if inhaled, absorbed through the skin or swallowed. Strong reducing agent. Fire and explosion risk in contact with oxidizing agents. Heating may cause an explosion. Extremely flammable liquid and vapor. Vapor may cause flash fire. May be pyrophoric and become spontaneously flammable in air. Light sensitive. Air sensitive.
Target Organs: Central nervous system, lungs, respiratory system.


Potential Health Effects
Eye: May cause eye irritation.
Skin: May be fatal if absorbed through the skin.
Ingestion: May be fatal if swallowed. Immediate symptoms include headache and dizziness.
Inhalation: May be fatal if inhaled. Vapors have strong effect on respiratory organs and mucous membranes. May cause nausea and vomiting. Continued inhalation causes unconsciousness. In 12-36 hours fever, cyanosis, cough, chest pain, shortness of breath, and circulatory collapse may occur. Death may occur from overexposure within 4-11 days due to pneumonia, liver and kidney damage, vascular injury and CNS degeneration.
Chronic: Effects may be delayed.

Section 4 - First Aid Measures

Eyes: In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for a t least 15 minutes. Get medical aid immediately.
Skin: POISON material. In case of contact, get medical aid immediately. Immediately flush eyes or skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash clothing before reuse. Destroy contaminated shoes.
Ingestion: POISON material. If swallowed, get medical aid immediately. Only induce vomiting if directed to do so by medical personnel. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
Inhalation: POISON material. If inhaled, get medical aid immediately. Remove victim to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen.
Notes to Physician: Effects may be delayed. Persons with liver, kidney, or central nervous system diseases may be at increased risk from exposure to this product.

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. Use water spray to keep fire-exposed containers cool. Extremely flammable liquid and vapor. Vapor may cause flash fire. 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: Use water spray, dry chemical, carbon dioxide, or appropriate foam.
Flash Point: -15 deg C ( 5.00 deg F)
Autoignition Temperature: 49 deg C ( 120.20 deg F)
Explosion Limits, Lower:3.7
Upper: 12.5
NFPA Rating: (estimated) Health: 4; Flammability: 3; Instability: 1

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. Clean up spills immediately, observing precautions in the Protective Equipment section. Wear a self contained breathing apparatus and appropriate personal protection. (See Exposure Controls, Personal Protection section). Remove all sources of ignition. Use a spark-proof tool. Provide ventilation. A vapor suppressing foam may be used to reduce vapors. Evacuate unnecessary personnel.

Section 7 - Handling and Storage

Handling: Wash thoroughly after handling. Remove contaminated clothing and wash before reuse. Ground and bond containers when transferring material. Use spark-proof tools and explosion proof equipment. Do not get in eyes, on skin, or on clothing. Empty containers retain product residue, (liquid and/or vapor), and can be dangerous. Keep container tightly closed. Use and store under nitrogen. Discard contaminated shoes. Do not pressurize, cut, weld, braze, solder, drill, grind, or expose empty containers to heat, sparks or open flames. Do not breathe vapor. Keep away from heat, sparks and flame. Inform laundry personnel of contaminant's hazards. Use only with adequate ventilation or respiratory protection.
Storage: Keep away from heat, sparks, and flame. Dark room. Refrigerator/flammables. Store under nitrogen. Store in air tight containers. Store in a cool, dry area away from incompatible substances. Separate from oxidizing materials.

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. Ventilation fans and other electrical service must be non-sparking and have an explosion-proof design.
