EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Appearance: APHA: 5 max solid. Flash Point: 81 deg C.
Danger! Causes eye and skin burns. Causes
digestive and respiratory tract burns. Causes respiratory tract
irritation. Harmful if swallowed, inhaled, or absorbed through the
skin. Material is a solid at room temperature that melts upon
moderate heating into a combustible liquid with a flash point below
200°F(93.3°C).
Target Organs: Blood, kidneys, central nervous
system, liver, gastrointestinal system, eyes, skin.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Causes eye burns.
Skin:
Harmful if absorbed through the skin. Causes skin burns.
Ingestion:
Harmful if swallowed. Causes gastrointestinal tract burns.
Inhalation:
Harmful if inhaled. Causes respiratory tract irritation.
Chronic:
Prolonged or repeated skin contact may cause dermatitis. May cause
liver and kidney damage. Adverse reproductive effects have been
reported in animals. Chronic exposure may cause blood effects.
Exposure to high concentrations may cause central nervous system
depression.
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:
Do not induce vomiting. Get medical aid immediately. Call a poison
control center.
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 victim ingested or inhaled the
substance; induce artificial respiration with the aid of a pocket
mask equipped with a one-way valve or other proper respiratory
medical device.
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. Material is a
solid at room temperature that melts upon moderate heating into a
combustible liquid with a flash point below 200°F(93.3°C).
Extinguishing Media:
Use foam, dry chemical, or carbon dioxide.
Flash Point: 81 deg C ( 177.80 deg F)
Autoignition Temperature: 310 deg C ( 590.00 deg F)

Upper: 6.3 vol %
NFPA Rating:
(estimated) Health: 3; Flammability: 2; Instability: 1
Section 6 - Accidental Release Measures
|
General Information: Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated
in Section 8.
Spills/Leaks:
Wear a self contained breathing apparatus and appropriate personal
protection. (See Exposure Controls, Personal Protection section).
Sweep up or absorb material, then place into a suitable clean, dry,
closed container for disposal. Avoid generating dusty conditions.
Remove all sources of ignition. Use a spark-proof tool. Do not let
this chemical enter the environment.
Section 7 - Handling and Storage
|
Handling:
Minimize dust generation and accumulation. Use spark-proof tools and
explosion proof equipment. Do not get in eyes, on skin, or on
clothing. Keep away from heat, sparks and flame. Do not ingest or
inhale. Use only in a chemical fume hood.
Storage:
Keep away from sources of ignition. Store in a cool, dry place.
Store in a tightly closed container. Corrosives area.
Section 8 - Exposure Controls, Personal Protection
|
Engineering Controls:
Use explosion-proof ventilation equipment. Facilities storing or
utilizing this material should be equipped with an eyewash facility
and a safety shower. Use only under a chemical fume hood.
