DISCLAIMER: This Safety Data Sheet is offered without charge to the clients of
Hewlett-Packard. Data is the most current available to Hewlett-Packard at the
time of preparation and is issued as a matter of information only, no warranty
as to its accuracy or completeness is expressed or implied.
HP Part Number: 8500-6031
Section 4 - First-Aid Measures
Inhalation: Harmful if inhaled. If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If
breathing is difficult give oxygen. Contact Physician.
Eye Contact: Vapor or mist is irritating to the eyes. Contamination of
the eyes should be treated by immediate and prolonged irrigation with
copious amounts of water by separating the eyelids with fingers. Contact
Physician.
Skin Contact: Repeated contact may cause skin irritation. In case of
contact, immediately wash skin with soap and copious amounts of water.
Remove and wash contaminated clothing promptly.
Ingestion: Harmful if swallowed. If ingested, wash out mouth with water.
Call "Poison Control Center" for assistance. Contact Physician
immediately.
Section 5 - Fire-Fighting Measures
Extinguishing Media: Carbon dioxide, dry chemical powder, foam.
Special Fire Fighting Procedures: Wear full protective clothing and self
contained positive pressure breathing apparatus certified by NIOSH, when
fighting chemically related fires.
Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: Containers may explode in heat of
fire. Move containers from fire if safe to do so, otherwise cool with
water until well after fire is out. May Produce PHOSGENE GAS.
Section 6 - Accidental Release Measures
Shut off all sources of ignition. Use noncombustible absorbent to absorb
the spill. Due to the small quantity involved, a leaking ampoule may be
placed in a plastic bag containing absorbent and disposed of as hazardous
waste according to local regulations. Used absorbent should be disposed
of in a similar manner. See Section 15.
Personal protective equipment should be worn during remediation of
accidental releases according to the nature and quantity of the material
involved. See Section 8 for a description of recommended personal
protective equipment.
Section 7 - Handling and Storage
Do not breathe vapor and avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing. Wash
thoroughly after handling.
Store in a cool dry place. Keep away from oxidizing agents, caustics and
chemically active metals. Proper storage must be determined based on
other materials stored and their hazards and potential chemical
incompatibility. Store in an acceptable protected and secure liquid
storage cabinet or room.
HP Part Number: 8500-6031
Section 8 - Exposure Controls/Personal Protection
Ventilation: Adequate ventilation is required to protect personnel from
exposure to chemical vapors exceeding PEL and to minimize fire hazards.
See Section 15 for regulatory standards of exposure.
Respiratory: Use NIOSH approved respirator equipment or organic mask
filter.
Eyes: Safety glasses are considered minimum protection. Chemical safety
goggles or face shield may be necessary depending on quantity of material
and conditions of use. Emergency eye wash fountains should be available in
the vicinity of any possible exposure.
Skin: Chemical-resistant protective gloves and clothing are recommended.
The choice of protective gloves or clothing must be based on chemical
resistance and other user requirements. Generally BUNA-N offers
acceptable chemical resistance. Individuals who are acutely and
specifically sensitive to this chemical may require additional protective
clothing.

Liquid methylene chloride will attack some forms of plastic, rubber and
coatings.

HP Part Number: 8500-6031
Section 11 - Toxicological Information
Route(s) of Entry: Inhalation? Yes Skin? Yes Ingestion? Yes
Harmful if swallowed , inhaled or absorbed through the skin. Can cause
eye and skin irritation. Symptoms of overexposure may include fatigue,
sleepiness, lightheadedness, tingling and numbness in limbs and nausea.
Health Hazard Acute/Chronic: This chemical is narcotic in high
concentrations and is an eye irritant. Chronic exposure may damage the
lungs and kidneys. Methylene chloride is metabolized in the body producing
carbon monoxide which increases and sustains carboxyhemoglobin levels in
the blood, reducing the oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood. The organs
affected by this chemical include the eyes, skin, cardiovascular system
and the central nervous system.
Carcinogenicity:
NTP? Yes - Methylene chloride; 1,2-Diphenylhydrazine and
Phenacetin
IARC Monographs? Yes - methylene chloride (possible human
carcinogen)
OSHA Regulated? No
OTHER? Yes [NIOSH - methylene chloride - (suspected)]
[USEPA - methylene chloride (probable human
carcinogen)]
Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure: Preclude from
exposure those individuals susceptible to dermatitis.
Section 12 - Ecological Information (Methylene chloride)
Releases to the atmosphere will degrade by
Persistence/Degradability:
action with photochemically produced hydroxyl radicals with a half-life of
a few months. Releases to water will primarily be removed by evaporation.
Releases to the soil will evaporate rapidly to near-surface soil and
possibly leach into groundwater where it's fate is unknown.
Possible in natural waters but slow compared with
Biodegradability:
evaporation.
Not expected to significantly absorb to sediment or
Bioaccumulation:
accumulate in aquatic organisms. Not expected to bioconcentrate in the
food chain.
Section 13 - Disposal Considerations
Burn in a chemical incinerator equipped with an afterburner and scrubber.
Comply fully with all Federal, State, and Local regulations.
