EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Appearance: Clear liquid. Flash Point: 6 deg C.
Warning! Flammable liquid and
vapor. Harmful if inhaled. Unstabilized substance may
polymerize. Causes eye and skin irritation. May be harmful if
swallowed. May cause respiratory tract irritation.
Target Organs: Central nervous system,
respiratory system, eyes, skin.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Causes moderate eye irritation.
Skin:
Causes moderate skin irritation. May cause dermatitis.
Ingestion:
May cause gastrointestinal irritation with nausea, vomiting and
diarrhea. May be harmful if swallowed. May cause central nervous
system depression.
Inhalation:
May cause respiratory tract irritation. May cause narcotic effects
in high concentration.
Eye irritation, vertigo, and nausea were reported in humans exposed
at 2200 ppm.
Chronic:
Not available.
Some German investigators reported fatty degeneration of the liver
upon repeated narcotic doses in rats and
Section 4 - First Aid Measures
|
Eyes:
In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for a
t least 15 minutes. Get medical aid.
Skin:
In case of contact, flush skin with plenty of water. Remove
contaminated clothing and shoes. Get medical aid if irritation
develops and persists. Wash clothing before reuse.
Ingestion:
If swallowed, do not induce vomiting unless directed to do so by
medical personnel. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious
person. Get medical aid.
Inhalation:
If inhaled, remove to fresh air. 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. Vapors may form an explosive mixture with air. Use
water spray to keep fire-exposed containers cool. Flammable liquid
and vapor. Fire or excessive heat may result in violent rupture of
the container due to bulk polymerization. Vapors are heavier than
air and may travel to a source of ignition and flash back. Vapors
can spread along the ground and collect in low or confined areas.
Hazardous polymerization may occur under fire conditions.
Extinguishing Media:
Use water fog, dry chemical, carbon dioxide, or regular foam.
Flash Point: 6 deg C ( 42.80 deg F)
Autoignition Temperature: 440 deg C ( 824.00 deg F)
Explosion Limits, Lower:9.70 vol %
Upper: 12.80 vol %
NFPA Rating:
(estimated) Health: 2; Flammability: 3; 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. Remove all sources of ignition.
Use a spark-proof tool. Provide ventilation.
Section 7 - Handling and Storage
|
Handling:
Wash thoroughly after handling. Remove contaminated clothing and
wash before reuse. 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. Avoid
ingestion and inhalation. Do not pressurize, cut, weld, braze,
solder, drill, grind, or expose empty containers to heat, sparks or
open flames. Use only with adequate ventilation. Pure vapor will be
uninhibited and may polymerize in vents or other confined spaces.
Storage:
Keep away from sources of ignition. Store in a tightly closed
container. Flammables-area. Store protected from light and air.
Section 8 - Exposure Controls, Personal Protection
|
Engineering Controls:
Use process enclosure, local exhaust ventilation, or other
engineering controls to control airborne levels below recommended
exposure limits. Facilities storing or utilizing this material should
be equipped with an eyewash facility and a safety shower.
