EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Appearance: colorless to pale yellow clear liquid.
Danger! Toxic if swallowed, inhaled or absorbed
through the skin. Reacts violently with water. Contact with water
liberates toxic gas. Causes burns by all exposure routes.
Target Organs: Respiratory system,
gastrointestinal system, eyes, skin.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Causes eye burns. Lachrymator (substance which increases the flow
of tears). May cause visual impairment.
Skin:
Causes skin burns. Toxic in contact with skin.
Ingestion:
Causes gastrointestinal tract burns. Toxic if swallowed.
Inhalation:
Causes chemical burns to the respiratory tract. Inhalation may be
fatal as a result of spasm, inflammation, edema of the larynx and
bronchi, chemical pneumonitis and pulmonary edema. Toxic if inhaled.
Chronic:
No information found.
|
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. Immediately flush skin with plenty of
water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing
and shoes.
Ingestion:
Do not induce vomiting. Get medical aid immediately. Call a poison
control center.
Inhalation:
Get medical aid immediately. Remove from exposure and move to fresh
air immediately. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Do not use
mouth-to-mouth resuscitation if victim ingested or inhaled the
substance; induce artificial respiration with the aid of a pocket
mask equipped with a one-way valve or other proper respiratory
medical device.
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. Water reactive. Material will react with water and
may release a flammable and/or toxic gas.
Extinguishing Media:
Use foam, dry chemical, or carbon dioxide. DO NOT USE WATER! Contact
professional fire-fighters immediately.
Flash Point: > 100 deg C (> 212.00 deg F)
Autoignition Temperature: Not applicable.
Explosion Limits, Lower:Not available.
Upper: Not available.
NFPA Rating:
(estimated) Health: 3; Flammability: 1; Instability: 2; Special Hazard: -W-
|
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. Wear a self contained breathing
apparatus and appropriate personal protection. (See Exposure
Controls, Personal Protection section). Provide ventilation. Do not
expose spill to water. Do not let this chemical enter the
environment.
|
Section 7 - Handling and Storage
|
Handling:
Do not allow water to get into the container because of violent
reaction. Do not get in eyes, on skin, or on clothing. Do not ingest
or inhale. Handle under an inert atmosphere. Do not allow contact
with water. Use only in a chemical fume hood.
Storage:
Store in a tightly closed container. Store in a dry area. Keep under
a nitrogen blanket. Keep refrigerated. (Store below 4癈/39癋.) Store
protected from light.
|
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 only under a
chemical fume hood.
