EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Appearance: colorless liquid. Flash Point: 12.8 deg C.
Warning! Flammable liquid and
vapor. Causes eye and skin irritation. Prolonged or
repeated contact causes defatting of the skin with irritation,
dryness, and cracking. May cause respiratory and digestive tract
irritation. May cause central nervous system depression. May form
explosive peroxides. May cause kidney damage.
Target Organs: Kidneys, central nervous system.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Produces irritation, characterized by a burning sensation, redness,
tearing, inflammation, and possible corneal injury.
Skin:
May cause skin sensitization, an allergic reaction, which becomes
evident upon re-exposure to this material. Prolonged and/or repeated
contact may cause defatting of the skin and dermatitis. May cause
irritation with pain and stinging, especially if the skin is abraded.
Ingestion:
May cause gastrointestinal irritation with nausea, vomiting and
diarrhea. May cause kidney damage. May cause central nervous system
depression, characterized by excitement, followed by headache,
dizziness, drowsiness, and nausea. Advanced stages may cause
collapse, unconsciousness, coma and possible death due to respiratory
failure.
Inhalation:
Inhalation of high concentrations may cause central nervous system
effects characterized by nausea, headache, dizziness, unconsciousness
and coma. Inhalation of vapor may cause respiratory tract irritation.
Chronic:
Prolonged or repeated skin contact may cause defatting and
dermatitis.
May cause allergic skin reaction in some
|
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 if irritation develops or persists. Flush skin with
plenty of soap and water.
Ingestion:
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:
Urine acetone test may be helpful in diagnosis.
Antidote:
None reported
|
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 can travel to a source of ignition and flash
back. Use water spray to keep fire-exposed containers cool.
Containers may explode in the heat of a fire. This chemical poses an
explosion hazard. May form explosive peroxides. Vapors may be
heavier than air. They 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. Use water spray to cool fire-exposed
containers. Water may be ineffective.
Flash Point: 12.8 deg C ( 55.04 deg F)
Autoignition Temperature: 432.2 deg C ( 809.96 deg F)
Explosion Limits, Lower:2.5 at 26.1°C
Upper: 12.1 at 65.6°C
NFPA Rating:
(estimated) Health: ; Flammability: ; 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.
|
Section 7 - Handling and Storage
|
Handling:
Wash thoroughly after handling. Remove contaminated clothing and
wash before reuse. Use with adequate ventilation. 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. Keep container tightly closed. Avoid
ingestion and inhalation. Do not pressurize, cut, weld, braze,
solder, drill, grind, or expose empty containers to heat, sparks or
open flames.
Storage:
Keep away from heat, sparks, and flame. Keep away from sources of
ignition. Keep from contact with oxidizing materials. Store in a
cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible substances.
|
Section 8 - Exposure Controls, Personal Protection
|
Engineering Controls:
Use adequate general or local exhaust ventilation to keep airborne
concentrations below the permissible exposure limits.

Personal Protective Equipment
Eyes:
Wear safety glasses and chemical goggles if splashing
is possible.
Skin:
Wear appropriate gloves to prevent skin exposure.
Clothing:
Wear appropriate protective clothing to minimize
contact with skin.
Respirators:
A NIOSH/MSHA approved or European Standard EN 149 air
purifying respirator with an organic vapor cartridge
or canister may be permissible under certain
circumstances where airborne concentrations are
expected. A respiratory protection program that meets
OSHA's 29 CFR 1910.134 and ANSI Z88.2 requirements or
European Standard EN 149 must be followed whenever
workplace conditions warrant respirator use.
