Emergency overview:
Harmful. Skin and eye irritant. Harmful if swallowed.
Risk of serious damage to eyes.
Appearance: Clear to slightly hazy liquid.
Flash Point: 251°C (485°F) Pensky-Maartens Closed Cup ASTM D93
290°C (555°F)Cleveland Open Cup ASTM D92
Warning!
Harmful. Skin and eye irritant. Harmful if swallowed.
Risk of serious damage to eyes.
Target Organs: Eyes
Potential Health Effects
Eye: Causes severe eye irritation. Risk of serious damage to eyes.
Skin: May cause skin irritation. Possible sensitizer.
Ingestion: May cause gastro-intestinal irritation, accompanied by
nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. Harmful if swallowed.
Inhalation: May cause respiratory tract irritation.
Chronic: Possible skin sensitizer.
Eyes: Flush eyes with copious amounts of water for at least 15 minutes, holding the eyelids open. DO NOT remove contact lenses, if worn. Seek immediate medical attention, preferably from an ophthalmologist. Skin: Immediately wash with plenty of soap and water. Flush skin with copious amounts of water for at least 15 minutes. If irritation develops or persists seek medical attention. Remove all contaminated clothing and wash before reuse. Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting. Wash out mouth with water, provided person is conscious. If victim is conscious and alert, give 2-4 cupfuls of milk or water. Seek medical attention. Inhalation: Remove to fresh air immediately. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult give oxygen. Seek medical attention, especially if cough or other symptoms appear. Notes to Physician: Treat symptomatically and supportively.
General Information: Wear self contained breathing apparatus MSHA/NIOSH approved or equivalent, and protective clothing to prevent contact with skin and eyes. Extinguishing Media: Water spray, CO2, Dry chemical powder, Appropriate foam. Unusual Fire and Explosive Hazards: Emits toxic Fumes under fire conditions. Foam and water spray are effective, but may cause frothing. Do not direct a solid stream of water or foam into hot, burning pools as this may cause frothing and increase the fire intensity.
General Information: Use chemically resistive protective clothing and a NIOSH/MSHA or European Standard EN 149 approved respirator if exposure limits are exceeded or if irritation or other symptoms are experienced. Spills/Leaks: Absorb on sand, vermiculite, or dry lime/soda ash. Pickup, keep in closed container and hold for waste disposal. Ventilate area and wash site after material pickup is complete. Environmental Precautions: Avoid contaminating water supply. Do not allow material to enter drains or water courses.
Handling: Wash thoroughly after handling. Avoid breathing vapor. Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing. Avoid repeated or prolonged exposure. Use with adequate ventilation. Ventilation: provide general and/or local exhaust ventilation to control airborne levels below the exposure guidelines. Other Precautions: Surfactants can cause foaming problems in biological wastewater treatment plants and other high shear operations. Storage: Store in tightly closed container in a cool well-ventilated area away from incompatible substances. Do not store in direct sunlight.
Engineering Controls:
Safety shower and eye wash must be available. Use with adequate ventilation.
