EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Appearance: tan solid.
Danger! Corrosive. Causes burns by all exposure
routes. Lachrymator (substance which increases the flow of tears).
Harmful if swallowed, inhaled, or absorbed through the skin.
Target Organs: Respiratory system, eyes, skin.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Causes eye burns. Lachrymator (substance which increases the flow
of tears).
Skin:
Harmful if absorbed through the skin. Causes skin burns.
Ingestion:
Harmful if swallowed. May cause severe and permanent damage to the
digestive tract. Causes gastrointestinal tract burns.
Inhalation:
Causes chemical burns to the respiratory tract. Inhalation may be
fatal as a result of spasm, inflammation, edema of the larynx and
bronchi, chemical pneumonitis and pulmonary edema. Harmful if
inhaled.
Chronic:
No information found.
Section 4 - First Aid Measures
|
Eyes:
Get medical aid immediately. Do NOT allow victim to rub eyes or keep
eyes closed. Extensive irrigation with water is required (at least 30
minutes).
Skin:
Get medical aid immediately. Immediately flush skin with plenty of
water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing
and shoes. Wash clothing before reuse. Destroy contaminated shoes.
Ingestion:
Do not induce vomiting. If victim is conscious and alert, give 2-4
cupfuls of milk or water. Never give anything by mouth to an
unconscious person. Get medical aid immediately.
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. Combustion generates toxic fumes. During a fire,
irritating and highly toxic gases may be generated by thermal
decomposition or combustion.
Extinguishing Media:
Use foam, dry chemical, or carbon dioxide. Use agent most
appropriate to extinguish fire.
Flash Point: > 110 deg C (> 230.00 deg F)
Autoignition Temperature: Not available.
Explosion Limits, Lower:Not available.
Upper: Not available.
NFPA Rating:
(estimated) Health: 3; Flammability: 1; Instability: 0
Section 6 - Accidental Release Measures
|
General Information: Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated
in Section 8.
Spills/Leaks:
Vacuum or sweep up material and place into a suitable disposal
container. Clean up spills immediately, observing precautions in the
Protective Equipment section. Avoid generating dusty conditions.
Provide ventilation.
Section 7 - Handling and Storage
|
Handling:
Minimize dust generation and accumulation. Do not breathe dust,
mist, or vapor. Keep container tightly closed. Do not get on skin or
in eyes. Do not ingest or inhale. Use with adequate ventilation. Use
only in a chemical fume hood. Discard contaminated shoes.
Storage:
Keep container closed when not in use. Store in a tightly closed
container. Corrosives area. Keep refrigerated. (Store below
4°C/39°F.)
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
ventilation to keep airborne concentrations low.
