Section 3 - Hazards Identification

Not available. Appearance: colorless clear liquid. Flash Point: 12 deg C.
Not available.
Target Organs: Kidneys, heart, central nervous system, liver, eyes.


Potential Health Effects
Eye: May cause eye irritation. Causes redness and pain.
Skin: May cause skin irritation. Contact with the skin defats the skin.
Ingestion: Symptoms may include: headache, excitement, fatigue, nausea, vomiting, stupor, and coma. May cause muscle tremor and impaired motor function. May cause cardiac disturbances.
Inhalation: May cause irritation of the respiratory tract with burning pain in the nose and throat, coughing, wheezing, shortness of breath and pulmonary edema. May cause central nervous system effects including vertigo, anxiety, depression, muscle incoordination, and emotional instability. May cause narcotic effects in high concentration.
Chronic: Not available.

Section 4 - First Aid Measures

Eyes: Flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids.
Skin: Flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes.
Ingestion: Get medical aid. Wash mouth out with water.
Inhalation: Remove from exposure and move to fresh air immediately. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical aid.
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. Containers may explode in the heat of a fire. Flammable liquid and vapor.
Extinguishing Media: Use water spray, dry chemical, carbon dioxide, or chemical foam.

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: Avoid breathing dust, mist, or vapor. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Take precautionary measures against static discharges.
Storage: Keep away from sources of ignition. Store in a cool, dry place. Store in a tightly closed container. Flammables-area.

Section 8 - Exposure Controls, Personal Protection

Engineering Controls: Use adequate ventilation to keep airborne concentrations low.
