EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Appearance: clear, colorless liquid.
Warning! Causes eye, skin, and respiratory tract
irritation. May form explosive peroxides.
Target Organs: Kidneys, central nervous system,
respiratory system, eyes, skin.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Causes eye irritation.
Skin:
Causes skin irritation. May be harmful if absorbed through the skin.
Ingestion:
May cause irritation of the digestive tract. May be harmful if
swallowed. May cause central nervous system effects.
Inhalation:
Causes respiratory tract irritation. May be harmful if inhaled.
Chronic:
May cause kidney damage.
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. Immediately flush skin with plenty of water for at
least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes.
Ingestion:
Do not induce vomiting. Get medical aid.
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. Will burn if involved in a fire. May form explosive
peroxides.
Extinguishing Media:
Use water spray, dry chemical, carbon dioxide, or appropriate foam.
Flash Point: 100 deg C ( 212.00 deg F)
Autoignition Temperature: 310 deg C ( 590.00 deg F)
Explosion Limits, Lower:1.50 vol %
Upper: Not available.
NFPA Rating:
(estimated) Health: 2; Flammability: 1; Instability: 2
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. Wear a self contained breathing
apparatus and appropriate personal protection. (See Exposure
Controls, Personal Protection section). Provide ventilation. Do not
let this chemical enter the environment.
Section 7 - Handling and Storage
|
Handling:
Do not get in eyes, on skin, or on clothing. Do not ingest or
inhale. Container should be opened by a technically qualified
person. Use only in a chemical fume hood. If peroxide formation is
suspected, do not open or move container.
Storage:
Store in a cool, dry place. Store in a tightly closed container.
Containers should be dated when opened and tested periodically for
the presence of peroxides. Should crystals form in a peroxidizable
liquid, peroxidation may have occurred and the product should be
considered extremely dangerous. In this instance, the container
should only be opened remotely by professionals. May form explosive
peroxides on prolonged storage.
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 only under a
chemical fume hood.
