are adequately grounded. Vapors generated from overheating/decomposition may
be flammable and may cause fire/explosion if source of ignition is present.
As with any dry material, pouring this material or allowing it to free-fall or
to be conveyed through chutes or pipes can accumulate and generate
electrostatic sparks, potentially causing ignition of the material itself, or
of any flammable materials which may come into contact with the material or
its container. Take proper precautions when tranfering the material to
prevent electrostatic charge formation.
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA
Dry chemical
CO2
Foam
Water spray/water fog for cooling containers
SPECIAL FIREFIGHTING PROCEDURES
Do not enter fire area without proper protection. See Section 4 --
decomposition products possible. Fight fire from safe distance/protected
location. Apply extinguishing media carefully to prevent frothing or steam
explosion. Water may be ineffective for fighting fire due to material's low
solubility. However, water spray/fog may be used to cool containers. Avoid
contact with molten product to prevent serious burns. Avoid raising powdered
materials into airborne dust, creating an explosion hazard. Notify
authorities if liquid enters sewer/public waters.
Do NOT use a solid stream of water. A solid stream of water can cause a dust
explosion.

degenerative changes in the brain, heart, liver and kidneys. Exposure to 145
ppm showed slight changes in liver and kidney only. Repeated exposure of rats
to this material did not show evidence of neurotoxic effects to the peripheral
nerves. Administration of this material up to 1% in the diet to mice for two
successive generations did not cause decreases in reproductive ability, but
did result in increased mortality in the offspring. This material did not
produce genetic changes in standard tests using bacterial cells, but it has
been reported to cause chromosal aberrations in cultured animal cells.
Isopropanol: Signs of toxicity in rodents following single oral or inhalation
exposures included sensory irritation, liver effects, narcosis and central
nervous system (CNS) depression. Skin irritation and injury were reported in
rabbits following repeated skin application, while sensory irritation, liver
and kidney changes and narcosis were reported in rats and mice following
repeated inhalation of 15000 ppm. No signs of nervous system toxicity were
reported in rats or mice following inhalation of 5000 ppm for 13 weeks or in
rats following repeated oral dosing. No adverse effects were reported in dogs
given 4% in their drinking water for 7 months, while a decrease in body weight
gain was the only adverse effect reported in rats given 10% in their drinking
water. Long term (1 year) skin application did not produce skin tumors in
mice. No increase in lung tumors occurred in mice after long term (20-40
week) subcutaneous injection or long term (5-8 month) inhalation (3000 ppm).
No signs of neurotoxicity or developmental toxicity were noted in the
offspring of rats given this material orally during pregnancy through
postnatal day 21. No birth defects were noted in the offspring of rats and
rabbits given this material orally or in drinking water during pregnancy, even
at amounts which produced toxic effects in the mothers and their offspring.
Birth defects were reported in the offspring of rats exposed by inhalation
during pregnancy, but only at levels which produced significant adverse
effects on the mothers. No genetic changes were observed in tests using
animal cells or bacteria.
