Section 3 - Hazards Identification

Appearance: colorless liquid.
Danger! Flammable liquid and vapor. Danger of serious damage to health by prolonged exposure through inhalation. Reacts violently with water. Contact with water liberates extremely flammable gases. Causes burns by all exposure routes. Breathing vapors may cause drowsiness and dizziness. Pyrophoric. Spontaneously flammable in air. Toxic to aquatic organisms, may cause long-term adverse effects in the aquatic environment. Possible risk of impaired fertility. Aspiration hazard if swallowed. Can enter lungs and cause damage.
Target Organs: Blood, central nervous system, liver, respiratory system, gastrointestinal system, eyes, skin.


Potential Health Effects
Eye: Causes eye burns.
Skin: Causes skin burns. May be harmful if absorbed through the skin.
Ingestion: Aspiration hazard. Causes gastrointestinal tract burns. May cause nausea and vomiting. May be harmful if swallowed. May cause lung damage.
Inhalation: Prolonged exposure may result in dizziness and general weakness. Causes chemical burns to the respiratory tract. May be harmful if inhaled. Aspiration hazard. Inhalation of vapors may cause drowsiness and dizziness.
Chronic: Chronic exposure may cause liver damage. Adverse reproductive effects have been reported in animals. Laboratory experiments have resulted in mutagenic effects. Chronic exposure may cause blood effects. Exposure to high concentrations may cause central nervous system depression. Animal studies have reported the development of tumors. May impair fertility.

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: Potential for aspiration if swallowed. Get medical aid immediately. Do not induce vomiting unless directed to do so by medical personnel. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. If vomiting occurs naturally, have victim lean forward.
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. Vapors may form an explosive mixture with air. Vapors can travel to a source of ignition and flash back. Will burn if involved in a fire. Water reactive. Material will react with water and may release a flammable and/or toxic gas. Containers may explode in the heat of a fire. Flammable liquid and vapor. Reacts violently with water. Contact with water liberates highly flammable gases.
Extinguishing Media: Do NOT use carbon dioxide. Use dry chemical to fight fire. DO NOT USE WATER!
Flash Point: > -22C
Autoignition Temperature: > 225 deg C (> 437.00 deg F)
Explosion Limits, Lower:1.1 (approx)

NFPA Rating: (estimated) Health: 3; Flammability: 3; Instability: 2; Special Hazard: -W-

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). Remove all sources of ignition. Use a spark-proof tool. Do not expose spill to water. Do not get water inside containers. Do not let this chemical enter the environment.

Section 7 - Handling and Storage

Handling: Do not allow water to get into the container because of violent reaction. Use spark-proof tools and explosion proof equipment. Do not get in eyes, on skin, or on clothing. Take precautionary measures against static discharges. Keep away from heat, sparks and flame. Do not ingest or inhale. Handle under an inert atmosphere. Do not allow contact with water. Use only in a chemical fume hood.
Storage: Keep away from sources of ignition. Store in a cool, dry place. Do not store in direct sunlight. Store in a tightly closed container. Flammables-area. Water free area. Store under nitrogen.

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.
