Personal Protection

Emergency Overview:

Physical State and Appearance: Transparent colorless liquid Odors or smells: Odorless Immediate concerns: Warning! High concentrations of vapor can reduce oxygen available for breathing. Harmful if inhaled. May decompose on contact with flames or extremely hot metal surfaces to produce toxic and corrosive products.

Potential Health Effects:

Eye contact: Avoid contact with eyes; may cause redness, irritation and conjunctivitis. Skin contact: Prolonged or repeated contact can result in defatting and drying of the skin which may result in skin irritation and dermatitis (rash). Inhalation: High concentrations in immediate area can displace oxygen and can cause dizziness, unconsciousness, and possibly death with longer exposure. Keep people away from such vapors without self-contained breathing apparatus. Ingestion: Ingestion of large amounts may produce abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting. Swallowing small amounts is not likely to produce harmful effects.

Signs and Symptoms of Overexposure:

Eyes: Liquid splashed in the eye may cause redness, irritation and conjunctivitis. Skin: Prolonged exposure causes redness, pain, drying and cracking of the skin. Ingestion: For large amounts, abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting. Inhalation: High concentrations may lead to central nervous system effects (drowsiness, dizziness, nausea, headaches, paralysis and loss of consciousness).


Section 4: First Aid Measures


Eyes:  Check for and remove any contact lens.  In case of contact,
immediately flush eyes with copious amounts of flowing water for at
least 15 minutes, retracting eye lids often.  Get medical attention if
irritation persists.

Skin:  Immediately wash skin thoroughly with plenty of water.  Remove
contaminated clothing and shoes.  Get medical attention immediately.  Wash
clothing before reuse.  Thoroughly clean shoes before reuse.  

Ingestion:  If swallowed, gently wipe or rinse the inside of the mouth with
water.  Do not induce vomiting.  Sips of water may be given if person is
fully conscious.  Never  attempt to give anything by mouth to an unconscious
or convulsing person. Immediately contact a poison control center, emergency
room or physician as further treatment may be necessary.

Inhalation:  Remove from exposure area to fresh air immediately.  If not
breathing, give artificial respiration or give oxygen by trained personnel. 
Get medical attention immediately.

Notes to physician:  Because of the possible disturbances of cardiac rhythm,
catecholamine drugs, such as epinephrine, should be used with special
caution and only in situations of emergency life support.  Treatment of
overexposure should be directed at the control of symptoms and the clinical
conditions.






Section 5: Fire Fighting Measures

      

Flammability classification:  Not flammable

Auto-Ignition Temperature:  Not applicable

Flammable Properties:

Flash Point:  Not available.

Flammable Limits:  Lower:  Not available
                   Upper:  Not available

Flash Point/Method:  None

Extinguishing Media:
Use alcohol foam, carbon dioxide, or water spray when fighting fires
involving this material.

Fire Fighting Procedures:
Use water spray to keep fire-exposed containers cool and to knock down
vapors which may result from product decomposition.

Fire Fighting Equipment:
As in any fire, wear self-contained breathing apparatus pressure-demand 
(MSHA/NIOSH approved or equivalent) and full protective gear.

Hazardous Decomposition Products:
Toxic oxides of carbon and corrosive vapors of hydrogen chloride




Section 6: Accidental Release Measures


Small spill and leak:
Contain spill with dike to prevent entry into sewers

Large spill and leak:
If this material is released into a work area, evacuate the area immediately.

General procedures:
Dike areas to contain spill.  Take precautions as necessary to prevent
contamination of ground and surface waters.  Recover spilled material on
absorbent, such as sawdust or vermiculite, and sweep into closed containers
for disposal. After all visible traces, including vapors, have been removed,
thoroughly wet vacuum the area.  Do not flush to sewers.  If area of spill
is porous, remove as much of the contaminated earth, gravel, etc. as
necessary and place in closed containers for disposal.

Special protective equipment:
Only personnel equipped with proper respiratory and skin/eye protection
should be permitted in area. See Section 8 for details. 

Recommended disposal:
Dispose according to applicable local, state/provincial and federal
regulations.



Section 7: Handling and Storage


General Procedures:
Contents may be under pressure.  Exercise caution when opening container.  If
containers have been stored in direct sunlight or heating above the boiling
point of the solvent, the container should be cooled to below the boiling
point before opening.

Handling:
Use with sufficient ventilation to keep employee exposure below recommended
limits.  Provide adequate ventilation for storage, handling, and use,
especially for enclosed or low spaces.  Avoid contact of liquid with eyes
and prolonged skin exposure.  Do not allow product to contact open flame or
electrical heating elements because dangerous decomposition products may
form.

Storage:
Store in a cool, well-ventilated area of low fire risk.  Storage in
subsurface locations should be avoided.  If container temperature exceeds
boiling range, cool the container before opening.
