Usage
In binders for coatings, textile chemicals, dispersing agents for nonaqueous systems,
antistatic agents, stabilizers for chlorinated polymers, ion exchange resins,
emulsifying agents, cationic precipitating agents.
Ingestion
Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical aid. Do NOT
induce vomiting. If conscious and alert, rinse mouth and drink 2-4 cupfuls of milk or
water.
Inhalation
Remove from exposure to fresh air immediately. If not breathing, give artificial
respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical aid. DO NOT use
mouth-to-mouth respiration.
Skin
Get medical aid. Flush skin with plenty of soap and water for at least 15 minutes while
removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash clothing before reuse.
Eyes
Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, occasionally lifting
the upper and lower eyelids. Get medical aid.
Storage
Keep away from heat, sparks, and flame. Keep away from sources of ignition. Store in
a tightly closed container. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from
incompatible substances. Refrigerator (approx 4 C).
Handling
Wash thoroughly after handling. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Empty
containers retain product residue, (liquid and/or vapor), and can be dangerous. Keep
container tightly closed. Avoid contact with heat, sparks and flame. Avoid ingestion
and inhalation. Use with adequate ventilation. Wash clothing before reuse. Do not
pressurize, cut, weld, braze, solder, drill, grind, or expose empty containers to heat,
sparks or open flames.
Hazards Identification
Inhalation
Causes respiratory tract irritation. Aspiration may lead to pulmonary edema. Can
produce delayed pulmonary edema. Inhalation at high concentrations may cause
CNS depression and asphixiation.
Skin
Causes skin irritation. May cause skin sensitization, an allergic reaction, which
becomes evident upon re-exposure to this material. May cause irritation and
dermatitis. May cause cyanosis of the extremities.
Eyes
Causes eye irritation. May cause chemical conjunctivitis and corneal damage.
Ingestion
May cause gastrointestinal irritation with nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. May be
harmful if swallowed.
Hazards
When heated, vapors may form explosive mixtures with air: indoors, outdoors, and
sewers explosion hazards. May polymerize explosively when heated or involved in a
fire. Contact with metals may evolve flammable hydrogen gas. Containers may
explode when heated. Runoff may pollute waterways. Substance may be transported
in a molten form.
