EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Appearance: black liquid. Flash Point: > 65.6 deg C.
Caution! May cause eye, skin, and respiratory
tract irritation. Combustible liquid and vapor.
Target Organs: No data found.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Causes eye irritation.
Skin:
Causes mild skin irritation. Prolonged and/or repeated contact may
cause defatting of the skin and dermatitis.
Ingestion:
May cause gastrointestinal irritation with nausea, vomiting and
diarrhea.
Inhalation:
May cause respiratory tract irritation. Material has a low vapor
pressure at room temperature, so exposure to vapor is not likely.
Chronic:
Possible cancer hazard based on tests with laboratory animals.
|
Section 4 - First Aid Measures
|
Eyes:
Flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, occasionally
lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Get medical aid.
Skin:
Flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while
removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Get medical aid if
irritation develops or persists.
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.
Inhalation:
Remove from exposure and move to fresh air immediately. Get medical
aid if cough or other symptoms appear.
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. Combustible liquid and vapor.
Extinguishing Media:
For small fires, use dry chemical, carbon dioxide, water spray or
alcohol-resistant foam.
Flash Point: > 65.6 deg C (> 150.08 deg F)
Autoignition Temperature: 407.2 deg C ( 764.96 deg F)
Explosion Limits, Lower:1%
Upper: 5%
NFPA Rating:
(estimated) Health: ; Flammability: 2; 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.
Provide ventilation.
|
Section 7 - Handling and Storage
|
Handling:
Use with adequate ventilation. Avoid prolonged or repeated contact
with skin. Avoid contact with eyes. Empty containers retain product
residue, (liquid and/or vapor), and can be dangerous. Avoid ingestion
and inhalation. Do not pressurize, cut, weld, braze, solder, drill,
grind, or expose empty containers to heat, sparks or open flames.
Keep away from heat and flame.
Storage:
Keep away from sources of ignition. Store in a tightly closed
container. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from
incompatible substances.
|
Section 8 - Exposure Controls, Personal Protection
|
Engineering Controls:
Use adequate ventilation to keep airborne concentrations low.
