Section 4: First Aid Measures

Inhalation First Aid
    If inhaled, remove victim to fresh air. If not breathing, give 
    artificial respiratory. If breathing becomes difficult, give oxygen 
    and get medical attention.

Skin Contact - First Aid
    Immediately remove contaminated clothing and shoes.  Flush skin with
    plenty of soap and water for at least 15 minutes.  Do not attempt
    to neutralize with chemical agents.  Get medical attention immediately.
    Wash contaminated clothing before reuse.  Thoroughly clean or destroy
    contaminated shoes.

Eye Contact - First Aid
    Immediately flush eyes with large quantities of running water for 
    a minimum of 15 minutes. If the victim is wearing contact lenses, 
    remove them. Hold the eyelids apart during the   flushing to ensure rinsing 
    of the entire surface of the eye and lids with water.  DO NOT let the victim 
    rub eyes(s).  Do not attempt to neutralize with chemical agents.  Oils or 
    ointments should not be used at this time. Get medical attention if eye 
    irritation occurs.

Ingestion - First Aid
    Get medical attention by calling a physician or a poison control 
    center immediately. Give victim plenty of water to drink. Do not 
    induce vomiting unless directed to do so as directed by medical 
    personnel. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious or 
    convulsing person. If vomiting occurs, keep head below hips to 
    reduce risk of aspiration. Get medical attention immediately.


Medical Conditions Aggravated
    Persons with pre-existing skin disease may be at an increased risk 
    if exposed dermally to this material.

Note to Physician
    Attending physician should treat exposed patients symptomatically.

Flash Point
     93°C (199.4°F)     Cleveland Open Cup


Auto Ignition Temperature:
     No data available

Upper Explosion Limit:
     No data available

Lower Explosion Limit:
     No data available

Extinguishing Media
     Use water fog, dry powder, foam or carbon dioxide extinguishing agents.

Fire Fighting Procedures:

     As in any fire, prevent human exposure to fire, smoke, 
     fumes or products of combustion.  Evacuate non-essential 
     personnel from the fire area. Fire fighters should wear 
     full-face, self-contained breathing apparatus and impervious 
     protective clothing. 

     Contaminated buildings, areas and equipment must not be used 
     until they are properly decontaminated.  Dike fire water for 
     later disposal.  Do not allow contaminated water to enter 
     waterways.

Fire and Explosion Hazards
     This product is not defined as flammable or combustible. 
     However, it may decompose under fire conditions to give off 
     toxic materials such as phosphorous oxides and flammable organic 
     substituents. The product is self- extinguishing once the source 
     of ignition is removed.

Other Fire and Explosion Hazards
     No other explosion hazards of this product are known.

Hazardous Products/Combustion
     Under fire conditions this product may support combustion and 
     decompose to give off flammable alkene and phosphoric oxides as 
     well as carbon oxides. The product is self-extinguishing once 
     the source of ignition is removed. It is not sensitive to static 
     discharge.



Section 6: Accidental Release Measures

Personnel-related safety precautions:
     Restrict nonessential personnel.  Follow appropriate 
     industrial hygiene practices as outlined in Section 8.

Clean up:
     Stop source of spill. Dike area to prevent spill from 
     spreading. Soak up liquid with suitable absorbent such 
     as clay, sawdust, or kitty litter. Sweep up absorbed 
     material and place in a chemical waste container for 
     disposal.  CAUTION! The spill area may be slippery. 
     With a stiff brush, work a slurry of powdered household 
     detergent and water into surface, including all cracks 
     and crevices. After allowing to stand for 2-3 minutes, 
     flush with water. Dike the water for later disposal. 
     Do not allow contaminated water to enter waterways or sewers.
 

Section 7: Handling and Storage


Handling:
     Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flames. Avoid contact with skin. 
     Avoid inhalation of vapors and mists.  Personnel handling this product 
     should wash thoroughly after contact with this product.

Storage:
     Store away from foodstuffs or animal feed. Containers should 
     be stored in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from 
     flammable or incompatible materials and sources of heat or 
     flame. Exercise due caution to prevent damage to or leakage 
     from the container.

     To prevent acid build-up, do not store the product at 
     temperatures above 49°C (120°F).  This product is normally 
     shipped in polyethylene lined fiber cartons.

Maximum Storage Temperature:
     48.88°C (120°F)

General comments:
     Containers should not be opened until ready for use.



Section 8: Exposure Controls and Personal Protection

Engineering Controls:
     Safety shower and eye wash station must be available to work area.

Respiratory Protection:
     Use a NIOSH-approved organic vapor acid gas respirator 
     (OVAG) with dust , mist, and fume filters to reduce 
     potential for inhalation exposure if use conditions 
     generate vapor, mist, or aerosol and adequate ventilation 
     (e.g., outdoor or well ventilated area) is not available. 
     Where exposure potential necessitates a higher level of 
     protection use a NIOSH-approved, positive-pressure, 
     pressure demand, air-supplied respirator.

     When using respirator cartridges or canisters, they must be 
     changed frequently (following each use or at the end of the 
     work shift) to assure breakthrough exposure does not occur.

Skin Protection:
     Skin contact with this product should be prevented through 
     the use of suitable protective clothing, gloves, and footwear 
     selected with regard for the use condition exposure potential.

Eye Protection:
     Wear safety glasses or chemical goggles during handling to avoid 
     eye contact.

Ventilation Protection:
     At elevated processing temperatures, or in the event that use 
     conditions generate airborne vapor, aerosol or mist, the 
     material should be handled in a well-ventilated area. Where 
     adequate ventilation is not available, use a NIOSH-approved 
     organic vapor/acid gas (OVAG) respirator with dust, mist, 
     and fume filter to reduce exposure. Where exposure potential 
     under use conditions is greater, use a NIOSH-approved, 
     positive-pressure air-supplied respirator.

Other Protection:
     During the development of safe handling procedures, consideration 
     should be given to the need for cleaning of equipment and piping 
     systems to render them nonhazardous before maintenance and repair 
     activities are performed. Waste resulting from these procedures 
     should be handled in an environmentally safe manner.

Applicable Exposure Limits:
     Other than any exposure limits which may be displayed in 
     Section 8, there are no exposure limits applicable for this 
     product or its components.

CAS#68334-32-7: no data from OSHA, ACGIH, NIOSH.
