EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Appearance: clear slightly yellow liquid. Flash Point: 52 deg C.
Warning! Harmful if swallowed. Causes severe eye
and skin irritation. Vesicant (agent that induces
blistering). Flammable liquid and vapor.
Causes severe respiratory tract irritation. May cause central
nervous system depression.
Target Organs: Central nervous system.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Causes severe eye irritation. May cause chemical conjunctivitis
and corneal damage.
Skin:
Causes severe skin irritation. This material is a vesicant, that is,
it will induce blistering. Causes blistering of the skin. Effects may
be delayed. 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 severe respiratory tract irritation. Aspiration may lead to
pulmonary edema. Vapors may cause dizziness or suffocation. May cause
burning sensation in the chest.
Chronic:
Not available.
Effects may be delayed 12
|
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. 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 not breathing, give artificial respiration. If
breathing is difficult, give oxygen.
Notes to Physician:
Treat symptomatically and supportively.
|
Section 5 - Fire Fighting Measures
|
General Information:
Treat symptomatically and supportively. 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. During a fire, irritating and highly toxic
gases may be generated by thermal decomposition or combustion. 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 liquid and vapor. 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. For large fires, use water spray, fog, 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: 52 deg C ( 125.60 deg F)
Autoignition Temperature: Not applicable.
Explosion Limits, Lower:Not available.
Upper: Not available.
NFPA Rating:
(estimated) Health: 2; Flammability: 2; Instability: 0
|
Section 6 - Accidental Release Measures
|
General Information: Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated
in Section 8.
Spills/Leaks:
Remove all sources of ignition. Absorb spill using an absorbent,
non-combustible material such as earth, sand, or vermiculite. Do not
use combustible materials such as sawdust. Use a spark-proof tool.
Provide ventilation. A vapor suppressing foam may be used to reduce
vapors.
|
Section 7 - Handling and Storage
|
Handling:
Wash thoroughly after handling. Remove contaminated clothing and
wash before reuse. Use only in a well-ventilated area. 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. Keep
away from heat, sparks and flame. Do not ingest or inhale. 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. Store in a tightly closed
container. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from
incompatible substances. Flammables-area.
|
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 adequate general or
local explosion-proof ventilation to keep airborne levels to
acceptable levels.

Environmental:
Degrades rapidly via hydrolysis, expected half-life in water expected
to be 44 seconds. Due to this quick degradation, bioaccumulation is
not expected to occur, and leaching in soil not expected to be
important. Degrades in the atmosphere by reaction with
photochemically produced hydroxyl radicals with expected half-life of
1 day. Contact with rainfall or moisture in the air from fog or
clouds will speed this degradation process.
