Emergency overview: Warning! Flammable liquid. Potential Health Effects Inhalation: Inhalation of high concentrations may cause central nervous system effects characterized by nausea, headache, dizziness,unconsciousness and coma. May cause liver abnormalities. Aspiration may lead to pulmonary edema. Vapors may cause dizziness or suffocation. May cause cardiac abnormalities. Causes irritation of the mucous membrane and upper respiratory tract. May cause burning sensation in the chest. Pyroxylin may form toxic gases; notably oxides of nitrogen, hydrogen cyanide and carbon monoxide may occur upon decomposition, exposure to which decomposition products may be severe and life threatening. Ingestion: May cause gastrointestinal irritation with nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. May cause effects similar to those for inhalation exposure. Ingestion of large amounts may cause CNS depression Skin contact: May cause skin irritation. May be absorbed through the skin. May cause cyanosis of the extremities. Eye contact: Causes eye irritation. May cause chemical conjunctivitis and corneal damage. Chronic exposure: Prolonged or repeated skin contact may cause dermatitis. Chronic exposure may cause liver damage. Chronic exposure will cause neurological degradation and/or abnormalities. Aggravation of Pre-existing Conditions: No information found.
Skin Exposure: If spilled on skin, immediately begin decontamination with running water. Minimum flushing is for 15 minutes. Remove exposed or contaminated clothing, taking care not to contaminate eyes. Victim must seek immediate medical attention. Eye Exposure: If chemical is splashed in eyes, open victim's eyes while under gentle running water. Use sufficient force to open eyelids. Have victim "roll" eyes. Minimum flushing is for 15 minutes. Inhalation: Get medical aid immediately. Remove from exposure to fresh air immediately. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Ingestion: Do NOT induce vomiting. If victim is conscious and alert, give 2-4 cupfuls of milk or water. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical aid. Skin contact: 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. Eye contact: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, lifting upper and lower eyelids occasionally. Get medical attention.
Fire:
Flash Point: 23°C (73.4°F)
Auto-Ignition Temperature: 360°C (680.0°F)
As in any fire, wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in pressure-demand,
MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and full protective gear. Water runoff can
cause environmental damage. Dike and collect water used to fight fire. Vapors
may form an explosive mixture with air. Vapors can travel to a source of
ignition and flash back. Combustion generates toxic fumes. Will burn if
involved in a fire. Use water spray to keep fire-exposed containers cool.
Containers may explode in the heat of a fire. Flammable liquid and vapor.
Fire Extinguishing Media:
For small fires, use dry chemical, carbon dioxide, water spray or alcohol-resistant
foam. For large fires, use water spray, fog, or alcohol-resistant foam. Use water
spray to cool fire-exposed containers. Water may be ineffective. Do NOT use
straight streams of water.
Special information:
In the event of a fire, wear full protective clothing and NIOSH-approved
self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) with full face piece operated
in the pressure demand or other positive pressure mode. Use extreme
caution in approaching fires. It may explode. Do not fight advanced
fires, except for remote activation of installed fire extinguishing
equipment and/or with unmanned fixed turrets and hose nozzles.
The surrounding area should be evacuated. Fires should be approached
from upwind. Use self-contained breathing apparatus. Since cellulose
nitrate supplies its own oxygen, prompt cooling with a large quantity
of water is essential; water applied through spray nozzles is effective
if used quickly and in sufficient volume.
Special Conditions to Avoid:
High temperatures
NFPA Rating: (estimated) Health:2 Flammability: 3 Stability: 3
Dangerous material. Dry, partially decomposed material may detonate or autoignite. Handle decomposed material as an explosive that may detonate with mild shock using explosive disposal procedures. Remove all sources of ignition. Ventilate area or leak or spill. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment as specified in Section 8. Spills : Absorb spill with inert material, such as vermiculite or sand, then place in a suitable container for disposal. Use non-sparking tools and equipment. A vapor suppressing foam may be used to reduce vapors.
Containers should be protected against damage and not exposed to heating. Storage area should be segregated, well ventilated, and equipped with both decomposition and explosion vents having the maximum amount of free opening. Protect against excessive heat and direct sunlight, avoid contact with electric light bulbs, steam coils, or other sources of heat; prohibit open flames or other sources of ignition. Control ignition sources. Employ grounding, bonding venting, and explosion relief provisions in accord with accepted engineering practices in any process capable of generating an explosion due to static charge. Containers of this material may be hazardous when empty since they retain product residues (dust, solids); 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. Use explosion proof equipment. Personal Respirator (NIOSH Approved): Not expected to require personal respirator usage. Skin Protection: Wear protective gloves and clean body-covering clothing. Eye Protection: Use chemical safety goggles. Maintain eye wash fountain and quick-drench facilities in work area.
Appearance: Thin, transparent, colorless to pale yellow solution Odor: Sweet, banana-like Solubility: Slightly soluble in water. Specific Gravity: .876 @ 20°C/4°C pH: No information found Boiling Point/Range: <142oC Melting Point: <-70.8oC Vapor Density (Air = 1): 4.5 Vapor Pressure (mm Hg): 4 Evaporation Rate (BuAc=1): 0.42
Stability: Stable at room temperature is sealed containers. For unstabilized, dry material: An explosion may be initiated by sudden shock, by high temperature or a combination of the two. Heat and sunlight can contribute to instability. Hazardous Decomposition Products: Pyroxylin emits toxic fumes of hydrogen cyanide, nitric oxides and carbon monoxide when heated to decomposition. Incomplete combustion may generate toxic hydrogen cyanide fumes. Hazardous Polymerization: Will not occur. Incompatibilities: Strong oxidizers, strong bases Conditions to avoid: Heat, flame, sources of ignition, light and incompatibilities.
