Causes irritation to the respiratory tract. Symptoms may include coughing, shortness of
breath. Affects central nervous system causing dizziness, incoordination and
unconsciousness.
Ingestion:
Causes irritation to the gastrointestinal tract. Symptoms may include nausea, vomiting
and diarrhea. Toxic! May cause systemic poisoning with symptoms paralleling those of
inhalation.
Skin Contact:
Causes irritation to skin. Symptoms include redness, itching, and pain. May be slowly
absorbed through the skin with possible systemic effects.
Eye Contact:
Vapors cause eye irritation. Splashes cause severe irritation, possible corneal burns and
eye damage.
Chronic Exposure:
Prolonged or repeated skin exposure may cause dermatitis or skin burns. Prolonged or
repeated exposure may cause liver, kidney, or lung damage.
Aggravation of Pre-existing Conditions:
Persons with pre-existing skin, eye or central nervous system disorders, or impaired liver,
kidney, or pulmonary function may be more susceptible to the effects of this substance.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SECTION 4- FIRST AID MEASURES
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Inhalation:
Remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult,
give oxygen. Get medical attention.
Ingestion:
Give large amounts of water to drink. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious
person. Get medical attention.
Skin Contact:
Immediately flush skin with plenty of soap and water for at least 15 minutes while
removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Get medical attention. Wash clothing before
reuse. Thoroughly clean shoes before reuse.
Eye Contact:
Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, lifting lower and
upper eyelids occasionally. Get medical attention immediately.

surfaces to distant ignition source and flash back. Sealed containers may rupture when
heated. Sensitive to static discharge.
Fire Extinguishing Media:
Dry chemical, foam or carbon dioxide. Water spray may be used to keep fire exposed
containers cool, dilute spills to nonflammable mixtures, protect personnel attempting to
stop leak and disperse vapors.
Special Information:
In the event of a fire, wear full protective clothing and NIOSH-approved self-contained
breathing apparatus with full facepiece operated in the pressure demand or other
positive pressure mode. This highly flammable liquid must be kept from sparks, open
flame, hot surfaces, and all sources of heat and ignition. Combustion by-products include
phosgene and hydrogen chloride gases.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SECTION 6- ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ventilate area of leak or spill. Remove all sources of ignition. Wear appropriate personal
protective equipment as specified in Section 8. Isolate hazard area. Keep unnecessary
and unprotected personnel from entering. Contain and recover liquid when possible. Use
non-sparking tools and equipment. Collect liquid in an appropriate container or absorb
with an inert material (e. g., vermiculite, dry sand, earth), and place in a chemical waste
container. Do not use combustible materials, such as saw dust. Do not flush to sewer! If a
leak or spill has not ignited, use water spray to disperse the vapors, to protect personnel
attempting to stop leak, and to flush spills away from exposures. US Regulations
(CERCLA) require reporting spills and releases to soil, water and air in excess of
reportable quantities. The toll free number for the US Coast Guard National Response
Center is (800) 424-8802.
J. T. Baker SOLUSORB?solvent adsorbent is recommended for spills of this product.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SECTION 7 - HANDLING and STORAGE
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Protect against physical damage. Outside or detached storage is preferred. Inside
storage should be in a standard flammable liquids storage room or cabinet. Separate from
oxidizing materials. Storage and use areas should be No Smoking areas. Containers should
be bonded and grounded for transfers to avoid static sparks. Containers of this material
may be hazardous when empty since they retain product residues (vapors, liquid);
observe all warnings and precautions listed for the product.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SECTION 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS, PERSONAL PROTECTION
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Airborne Exposure Limits:
-OSHA Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL): 75 ppm (TWA)
-ACGIH Threshold Limit Value (TLV): 10 ppm (TWA)
Ventilation System:
A system of local and/or general exhaust is recommended to keep employee exposures
below the Airborne Exposure Limits. Local exhaust ventilation is generally preferred
because it can control the emissions of the contaminant at its source, preventing
dispersion of it into the general work area. Please refer to the ACGIH document,
Industrial Ventilation, A Manual of Recommended Practices, most recent edition, for
details.

If the exposure limit is exceeded and engineering controls are not feasible, a half-face
organic vapor respirator may be worn for up to ten times the exposure limit, or the
maximum use concentration specified by the appropriate regulatory agency or respirator
supplier, whichever is lowest. A full-face piece organic vapor respirator may be worn up to
50 times the exposure limit, or the maximum use concentration specified by the
appropriate regulatory agency or respirator supplier, whichever is lowest. For
emergencies or instances where the exposure levels are not known, use a full-face piece
positive-pressure, air-supplied respirator. WARNING: Air-purifying respirators do not
protect workers in oxygen-deficient atmospheres.
Skin Protection:
Wear impervious protective clothing, including boots, gloves, lab coat, apron or
coveralls, as appropriate, to prevent skin contact.
Eye Protection:
Use chemical safety goggles and/or a full face shield where splashing is possible. Maintain
eye wash fountain and quick-drench facilities in work area.
