Danger! Corrosive. Causes eye and skin burns.
Causes digestive and respiratory tract burns. Combustible liquid
and vapor. Moisture sensitive.
Target Organs: None known.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Causes eye burns.
Skin:
Causes skin burns.

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. 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 not breathing, give artificial respiration. If
breathing is difficult, give oxygen.
Notes to Physician:
Treat symptomatically.
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. Containers may explode in the heat of a fire.
Combustible liquid. Vapors may be heavier than air. They can spread
along the ground and collect in low or confined areas.
Extinguishing Media:
Do NOT use water directly on fire. Use water spray to cool
fire-exposed containers. For small fires, use dry chemical, sand,
water spray, or foam. Do NOT get water inside containers. For large
fires, use water spray, fog or alcohol-resistant foam.
Flash Point: 87 deg C ( 188.60 deg F)
Autoignition Temperature: 279 deg C ( 534.20 deg F)
Explosion Limits, Lower:0.9
Upper: 5.8
NFPA Rating:
3 - health, 2 - flammability, 1 - instability
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. Do not get water inside containers.
Section 7 - Handling and Storage
|
Handling:
Do not breathe dust, vapor, mist, or gas. Do not get in eyes, on
skin, or on clothing. Empty containers retain product residue,
(liquid and/or vapor), and can be dangerous. Keep container tightly
closed. 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 sources of ignition. Store in a cool, dry place.
Store in a tightly closed container. Corrosives area. Store
protected from moisture.
Section 8 - Exposure Controls, Personal Protection
|
Engineering Controls:
Use adequate ventilation to keep airborne concentrations low.
