Potential Health Effects
----------------------------------
Inhalation:
Causes irritation.
Ingestion:
Low ingestion hazard
Skin Contact:
Or commercial handling Low hazard for usual industrial
Eye Contact:
May cause irritation.
Chronic Exposure:
No information found.
Aggravation of Pre-existing Conditions:
No information found.
Inhalation:
If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Prompt action is essential.
Ingestion:
Give water to rinse mouth and get medical attention immediately. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
Skin Contact:
In case of contact, immediately flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash clothing before re-use.
Eye Contact:
In case of eye contact, immediately flush with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes.
Fire:
Flash point: 160C (320F) CC
Explosion:
None
Fire Extinguishing Media:
Water, dry chemical, foam or carbon dioxide.
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.
Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing. Stop leak if you can do so without risk. Ventilate area. Carefully neutralize spill with dilute HCl. Flush area with flooding amounts of water. (Use caution.) Prevent run-off from entering drains, sewers, or streams.
Keep container tightly closed. Store in corrosion-proof area. Protect from freezing. 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.
Airborne Exposure Limits:
None established.
Ventilation System:
In general, dilution ventilation is a satisfactory health hazard control for this substance. However, if conditions of use create discomfort to the worker, a local exhaust system should be considered.
Personal Respirators (NIOSH Approved):
For conditions of use where exposure to the substance is apparent and engineering controls are not feasble, consult an industrial hygienist. For emergencies, or instances where the exposure levels are not known, use a full-facepiece positive-pressure, air-supplied respirator. WARNING: Air purifying respirators do not protect workers in oxygen-deficient atmospheres.
Skin Protection:
Wear protective gloves and clean body-covering clothing.
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.
