Section 3 - Hazards Identification

EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Appearance: clear, colorless to light straw liquid. Flash Point: 6 deg C.
Danger! May be fatal if inhaled, absorbed through
the skin or swallowed. Flammable liquid and
vapor. Causes eye, skin, and respiratory tract
irritation. May cause allergic skin reaction. Light sensitive.
Hazardous polymerization may occur.
Target Organs: Central nervous system,
respiratory system, eyes, skin.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Causes severe eye irritation. Lachrymator (substance which
increases the flow of tears).
Skin:
Causes skin irritation. Harmful if absorbed through the skin. May
cause skin sensitization, an allergic reaction, which becomes
evident upon re-exposure to this material. May be metabolized to
cyanide which in turn acts by inhibiting cytochrome oxidase impairing
cellular respiration.
Ingestion:
May be fatal if swallowed. May cause central nervous system effects.
Metabolism may release cyanide, which may result in headache,
dizziness, weakness, collapse, unconsciousness and possible death.
Inhalation:
May be fatal if inhaled. Causes respiratory tract irritation. May be
metabolized to cyanide which in turns act by inhibiting cytochrome
oxidase impairing cellular respiration.
Chronic:
No information found.
|
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 immediately.
Skin:
In case of contact, immediately flush skin with plenty of water for
at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes.
Get medical aid immediately. Wash clothing before reuse.
Ingestion:
POISON material. If swallowed, get medical aid immediately. Only
induce vomiting if directed to do so by medical personnel. Never give
anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
Inhalation:
POISON material. If inhaled, get medical aid immediately. Remove
victim to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration.
If breathing is difficult, give oxygen.
Notes to Physician:
Treat symptomatically and supportively.
Antidote:
Always have a cyanide antidote kit on hand when working with cyanide
compounds. Get medical advice to use.
|
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. 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.
Approach fire from upwind to avoid hazardous vapors and toxic
decomposition products. 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.
Extinguishing Media:
For small fires, use dry chemical, carbon dioxide, water spray or
alcohol-resistant foam. For large fires, use water spray, fog or
alcohol-resistant foam. Do NOT use straight streams of water. Cool
containers with flooding quantities of water until well after fire
is out.
Flash Point: 6 deg C ( 42.80 deg F)
Autoignition Temperature: Not applicable.
Explosion Limits, Lower:Not available.
Upper: Not available.
NFPA Rating:
(estimated) Health: 3; 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.
Provide ventilation. Water spray may reduce vapor but may not
prevent ignition in closed spaces.
|
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. 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. Do not pressurize, cut, weld, braze, solder, drill,
grind, or expose empty containers to heat, sparks or open flames. Do
not breathe vapor. Use only with adequate ventilation. Keep away from
heat, sparks and flame. Pure vapor will be uninhibited and may
polymerize in vents or other confined spaces.
Storage:
Keep away from heat, sparks, and flame. Keep away from sources of
ignition. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from
incompatible substances. Keep containers tightly closed.
|
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 process enclosure,
local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to control
airborne levels. See 29CFR 1910.1045 for regulations applying to all
occupational exposures to acrylonitrile.
