III. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
Potential Health Effects:
Eye:
Can cause irritation. Symptoms include stinging, tearing, redness, and swelling of eyes.
Skin:
Can cause skin irritation. Symptoms may include redness and burning of skin, and other
skin damage. Prolonged or repeated contact may dry the skin. Additional symptoms of
skin contact may include: allergic skin reaction (delayed skin rash which may be
followed by blistering, scaling and other skin effects). Passage of this material into the
body is possible, and may add to toxic effects from breathing or swallowing.
Swallowing:
Swallowing small amounts of this material during normal handling is not likely to cause
harmful effects. Swallowing large amounts may be harmful. This material can get into
the lungs during swallowing or vomiting. This results in lung inflammation and other
lung injury.
Inhalation:
Breathing of vapor or mist is possible. Breathing small amounts of this material
during normal handling is not likely to cause harmful effects. Breathing large
amounts may be harmful. Prolonged or repeated breathing of dust may result in
progressive and permanent lung disease (fibrosis) which may cause death from
respiratory and/or heart failure. Symptoms include coughing and difficult breathing
which becomes worse with physical activity.
Symptoms of Exposure:
Signs and symptoms of exposure to this material through breathing, swallowing, and/or
passage of the material through the skin may include: stomach or intestinal upset (nausea,
vomiting, diarrhea), irritation (nose, throat, airways), central nervous system depression
(dizziness, drowsiness, weakness, fatigue, nausea, headache, unconsciousness), and death.
Target Organ Effects:
Based on animal studies, exposure to methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) increases the onset of
peripheral neuropathy caused by exposure to Methyl butyl ketone (MBK), and/or n-hexane,
and/or ethyl butyl ketone. MEK alone has not been shown to cause peripheral neuropathy.
Overexposure to this material (or its components) has been suggested as a cause of the
following effects in laboratory animals: liver abnormalities, kidney damage, and brain
damage. Overexposure to this material (or its components) has been suggested as a cause of
the following effects in humans: liver abnormalities, eye damage, and kidney damage.
Developmental Information: No data
Cancer Information: No data
Other Health Effects: No data
Primary Routes of Entry: Inhalation, Skin absorption and Skin Contact
IV. FIRST AID MEASURES
Eye s:
If symptoms develop, immediately move individual away from exposure and into fresh
air. Flush eyes gently with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while holding eyelids
apart; seek medical attention.
Skin:
Remove contaminated clothing. Wash exposed area with soap and water. If symptoms
persist, seek medical attention. Launder clothing before reuse.
Swallowing:
Seek medical attention. If individual is drowsy or unconscious, do not give anything
by mouth; place individual on the left side with head down. Contact a physician,
medical facility, or poison control center for advice about whether to induce vomiting.
If possible, do not leave individual unattended.
Inhalation:
If symptoms develop, move individual away from exposure and into fresh air. If symptoms
Persist, seek medical attention. If breathing is difficult, administer oxygen. Keep person
Warm and quiet; seek immediate medical attention.
Note to Physicians:
This material is an aspiration hazard. Potential danger from aspiration must be
Weighed against possible oral toxicity (See section 3 ?swallowing) when deciding
Whether to induce vomiting. Preexisting disorders of the following organs (or organ
Systems) may be aggravated by exposure to this material: skin, lung (e.g. asthma-like
Conditions), liver, kidney, central nervous system, eye.
V. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Flash Point:
24 F (-4 C) TCC
Explosive Limit:
(for component) Lower 2.0 Upper 11.5
Autoignition Temperature:
No data
Hazardous Products of Combustion:
May form: carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide, various hydrocarbons
Fire and Explosion Hazards:
Vapors are heavier than air and may travel along the ground or may be moved by ventilation
and ignited by pilot lights, other flames, sparks, heaters, smoking, electric motors, static
discharge, or other ignition sources at locations distant from material handling point. Never
use welding or cutting torch on or near drum (even empty) because product (even just residue)
can ignite explosively.
Extinguishing Media:
Regular foam, water fog, carbon dioxide, dry chemical
Fire Fighting Instructions:
wear a self-contained breathing apparatus with a full facepiece operate in the positive pressure
demand mode with appropriate turn-out gear and chemical resistant personal protective equipment.
Refer to the personal protective equipment section of this MSDS.
NFPA Rating:
Not determined
VI. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Small Spill:
Absorb liquid on vermiculite, floor absorbent, or other absorbent material and transfer to hood.
Eliminate all sources of ignition such as flare, flames (including pilot lights) and electrical sparks.
Large Spill:
Eliminate all ignition sources (flares, flames, including pilot lights, electrical sparks). Persons
not wearing protective equipment should be excluded from the area of spill until clean-up has
been completed. Stop spill at source. Prevent from entering drains, sewers, streams or other
bodies of water. Prevent from spreading. If runoff occurs, notify authorities as required. Pump
or vacuum transfer spilled product to clean containers for recovery. Absorb unrecoverable product.
Transfer contaminated absorbent soil and other materials to containers for disposal.
VII. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Handling:
Containers of this material may be hazardous when emptied. Since emptied containers retain
product residues (vapor, liquid, and/or solid), all hazard precautions given in the data sheet must
be observed. All five-gallon pails and larger metal containers, including tank cars and tank trucks,
should be grounded and/or bonded when material is transferred.
VIII. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
Eye Protection:
Chemical splash goggles in compliance with OSHA regulations are advised; however, OSHA
Regulations also permit other types of safety glasses. Consult your safety representative.
Skin Protection:
Wear resistant gloves (consult your safety equipment supplier). To prevent repeated or prolonged
Skin contact, wear impervious clothing and boots.
Respiratory Precautions:
If workplace exposure limits of product or any component is exceeded (see exposure guidelines),
A NIOSH/MSHA approved air supplied respirator is advised in absence of proper environmental
Control. OSHA regulations also permit other NIOSH/MSHA respirators (negative pressure type)
Under specified conditions (see your industrial hygienist). Engineering or administrative controls
Should be implemented to reduce exposure.
Engineering Controls:
Provide sufficient mechanical (general and/or local exhaust) ventilation to maintain
Exposure below TLVs.
