EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Appearance: slightly yellow crystals.
Warning! Toxic. Flammable solid. Eye contact may
result in permanent eye damage. Causes respiratory tract irritation.
Harmful if swallowed. Causes eye and skin irritation. May be harmful
if absorbed through the skin. May cause central nervous system
depression. Hygroscopic (absorbs moisture from the air). Dangerous
for the environment.
Target Organs: Central nervous system.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Contact may cause severe eye irritation and possible eye damage.
May cause chemical conjunctivitis and corneal damage.
Skin:
May be harmful if absorbed through the skin. May cause irritation
and dermatitis. May cause cyanosis of the extremities.
Ingestion:
Harmful if swallowed. May cause gastrointestinal irritation with
nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. Ingestion of large amounts may cause
CNS depression.
Inhalation:
Causes respiratory tract irritation. Aspiration may lead to
pulmonary edema. Vapors may cause dizziness or suffocation. Causes
irritation of the mucous membrane and upper respiratory tract. May
cause burning sensation in the chest.
Chronic:
Not available.
|
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. Flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15
minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash clothing
before reuse.
Ingestion:
Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical
aid immediately. Do NOT induce vomiting. If conscious and alert,
rinse mouth and drink 2-4 cupfuls of milk or water.
Inhalation:
Get medical aid immediately. Remove from exposure and move to fresh
air immediately. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. 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. Vapors may form an explosive mixture with air.
Vapors can travel to a source of ignition and flash back. Will burn
if involved in a fire. Use water spray to keep fire-exposed
containers cool. Containers may explode in the heat of a fire.
Flammable solid.
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. In case of fire, use water, dry chemical,
chemical foam, or alcohol-resistant foam. Use water spray to cool
fire-exposed containers. Water may be ineffective. Do NOT use
straight streams of water.
Flash Point: 130 deg C ( 266.00 deg F)
Autoignition Temperature: Not available.

|
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. Sweep up, then place into a
suitable container for disposal. Remove all sources of ignition. Use
a spark-proof tool. A vapor suppressing foam may be used to reduce
vapors.
|
Section 7 - Handling and Storage
|
Handling:
Ground and bond containers when transferring material. Use
spark-proof tools and explosion proof equipment. Empty containers
retain product residue, (liquid and/or vapor), and can be dangerous.
Keep container tightly closed. Keep away from heat, sparks and
flame. 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. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from
incompatible substances. Flammables-area. Store protected from
moisture.
|
Section 8 - Exposure Controls, Personal Protection
|
Engineering Controls:
Use adequate general or local explosion-proof ventilation to keep
airborne levels to acceptable levels.
