Section 3 - Hazards Identification

EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Appearance: clear, colorless clear liquid. Flash Point: -26 deg C.
Danger! Extremely flammable liquid and vapor.
Vapor may cause flash fire. Causes eye, skin, and respiratory tract
irritation. Harmful if swallowed. Aspiration hazard if swallowed.
Can enter lungs and cause damage.
Target Organs: Lungs, respiratory system, eyes,
skin.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Causes eye irritation.
Skin:
Causes skin irritation. May be harmful if absorbed through the skin.
Ingestion:
Harmful if swallowed. May cause irritation of the digestive tract.
Possible aspiration hazard. May cause lung damage.
Inhalation:
Causes respiratory tract irritation. May be harmful if inhaled.
Chronic:
Effects may be delayed.
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 imme
diately.
Skin:
Get medical aid immediately. Immediately flush skin with plenty of
water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing
and shoes.
Ingestion:
Possible aspiration hazard. Get medical aid immediately. Do NOT
induce vomiting. If conscious and alert, rinse mouth and drink 2-4
cupfuls of milk or water.
Inhalation:
Get medical aid immediately. Remove from exposure and move to fresh
air immediately. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Do NOT use
mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. If breathing has ceased apply
artificial respiration using oxygen and a suitable mechanical device
such as a bag and a mask.
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 may form an explosive mixture with air.
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. Extremely flammable liquid and vapor. Containers may
explode in the heat of a fire. Vapors may be heavier than air. They
can spread along the ground and collect in low or confined areas.
Will be easily ignited by heat, sparks or flame.
Extinguishing Media:
This material is lighter than water and insoluble in water. The fire
could easily be spread by the use of water in an area where the water
cannot be contained. Use water spray, dry chemical, carbon dioxide,
or chemical foam. Do NOT use straight streams of water.
Flash Point: -26 deg C ( -14.80 deg F)
Autoignition Temperature: 299 deg C ( 570.20 deg F)
Explosion Limits, Lower:1.20 vol %
Upper: Not available.
NFPA Rating:
(estimated) Health: 1; Flammability: 3; Instability: 0
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. Avoid runoff into storm sewers and
ditches which lead to waterways. Remove all sources of ignition. Use
a spark-proof tool. Provide ventilation. A vapor suppressing foam
may be used to reduce vapors.
Section 7 - Handling and Storage
|
Handling:
Ground and bond containers when transferring material. Use
spark-proof tools and explosion proof equipment. 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. Use only in a
chemical fume hood. 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 tightly closed
container. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from
incompatible substances. Refrigerator/flammables.
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.
