First Aid Measures

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.

Handling and Storage

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.

Exposure Controls/Personal Protection

Personal Protection

Eyes: Wear appropriate protective eyeglasses or chemical safety goggles as

described by OSHA's eye and face protection regulations in 29 CFR 1910.133 or
European Standard EN166. Skin: Wear appropriate protective gloves to prevent skin
exposure. Clothing: Wear appropriate protective clothing to prevent skin exposure.

Respirators

A respiratory protection program that meets OSHA's 29 CFR 1910.134 and ANSI
Z88.2 requirements or European Standard EN 149 must be followed whenever
workplace conditions warrant a respirator's use.

Exposure Effects

Effects may be delayed. Repeated or prolonged exposure may cause allergic

reactions in sensitive individuals.

Poison Class 4

Fire Fighting Measures

Flash Point
70

Autoignition 255

Fire Fighting

Wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH

(approved or equivalent), and full protective gear. During a fire, irritating and highly
toxic gases may be generated by thermal decomposition or combustion. Use water
spray to keep fire-exposed containers cool. Water may be ineffective. Material is
lighter than water and a fire may be spread by the use of water. Combustible Liquid.
Extinguishing media: Use water spray to cool fire-exposed containers. Water may be
ineffective. In case of fire use water spray, dry chemical, carbon dioxide, or
appropriate foam.

Lower exp. limit
1.2

Fire Potential
May burn but does not ignite readily.

Accidental Release Measures

Small spills/leaks

Absorb spill with inert material, (e.g., dry sand or earth), then place into a chemical
waste container. Avoid runoff into storm sewers and ditches which lead to waterways.
Clean up spills immediately, using the appropriate protective equipment. Remove all
sources of ignition. Use a spark-proof tool. Provide ventilation.

Stability and Reactivity

Stability

Stable at room temperature in closed containers under normal storage and handling
conditions.

Incompatibilities Strong oxidizing agents.

 Decomposition

Nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, irritating and toxic fumes and gases, carbon
dioxide, nitrogen.

Combustion Products

Fire may produce irritating, corrosive and/or toxic gases.
