EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Appearance: grey powder.
Danger! Contact with water liberates extremely
flammable gases. Flammable solid. Water-Reactive. Causes eye and skin
irritation. May cause respiratory tract irritation. Air sensitive.
May cause central nervous system effects. May cause cardiac
disturbances. The toxicological properties of this material have not
been fully investigated.
Target Organs: Central nervous system,
cardiovascular system.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Causes eye irritation. May cause lacrimation (tearing), blurred
vision, and photophobia.
Skin:
Causes skin irritation. May be harmful if absorbed through the skin.
Ingestion:
May cause irritation of the digestive tract. May cause cardiac
disturbances. May cause central nervous system effects. May cause
nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and increased salivation.
Inhalation:
May cause respiratory tract irritation. Olfactory fatigue may occur.
Can produce delayed pulmonary edema. Central nervous system effects,
which appear to predominate in acute cases are characterized by
abnormal fatigue, memory difficulties and dizziness.
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.
Skin:
Get medical aid. Flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15
minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes.
Ingestion:
Get medical aid. Do NOT induce vomiting. If conscious and alert,
rinse mouth and drink 2-4 cupfuls of milk or 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. During a fire, irritating and highly toxic gases
may be generated by thermal decomposition or combustion. This
material in sufficient quantity and reduced particle size is capable
of creating a dust explosion. Reacts with water to form explosive
hydrogen gas. Flammable solid. May burn rapidly with flare burning
effect. May re-ignite after fire is extinguished. Runoff from fire
control or dilution water may cause pollution.
Extinguishing Media:
DO NOT USE WATER! Contact professional fire-fighters immediately.
Smother with dry sand, dry clay, dry ground limestone (CaCO3), or
use approved Class D extinguishers.
Flash Point: Not applicable.
Autoignition Temperature: 150 deg C ( 302.00 deg F)
Explosion Limits, Lower:Not available.
Upper: Not available.
NFPA Rating:
(estimated) Health: 2; Flammability: 2; Instability: 2; Special Hazard: -W-
Section 6 - Accidental Release Measures
|
General Information: Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated
in Section 8.
Spills/Leaks:
Vacuum or sweep up material and place into a suitable disposal
container. Clean up spills immediately, observing precautions in the
Protective Equipment section. Scoop up with a nonsparking tool, then
place into a suitable container for disposal. Avoid generating dusty
conditions. Remove all sources of ignition. Provide ventilation. Do
not get water inside containers.
Section 7 - Handling and Storage
|
Handling:
Use with adequate ventilation. Minimize dust generation and
accumulation. Avoid breathing dust, mist, or vapor. Avoid contact
with eyes, skin, and clothing. Empty containers retain product
residue, (liquid and/or vapor), and can be dangerous. Keep away from
heat, sparks and flame. Avoid ingestion and inhalation. Store
protected from air. Do not allow contact with water. Do not
pressurize, cut, weld, braze, solder, drill, grind, or expose empty
containers to heat, sparks or open flames.
Storage:
Keep away from sources of ignition. Keep under a nitrogen blanket.
Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible
substances. Do not expose to air. Store protected from moisture.
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 explosion-proof ventilation to keep airborne levels to
acceptable levels.
