Potential Health Effects
----------------------------------
Inhalation:
Is harmful and may be fatal. headache, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, narcosis, respiratory failure, low blood pressure, central nervous system depression.
Ingestion:
Is harmful and may be fatal. irritation and burns to mouth and stomach.
Skin Contact:
Severe irritation or burns.
Eye Contact:
Severe irritation or burns.
Chronic Exposure:
Central nervous system depression.
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:
Induce vomiting immediately as directed by medical personnel. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical attention.
Skin Contact:
In case of contact, immediately flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes.
Eye Contact:
In case of eye contact, immediately flush with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes.
Fire:
Flash point: 116C (241F)
Explosion:
Closed containers exposed to heat may explode.
Fire Extinguishing Media:
Use water spray, alcohol foam, dry chemical or carbon dioxide.
Special Information:
Firefighters should wear proper protective equipment and self-contained breathing apparatus with full facepiece operated in positive pressure mode.
Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing. Stop leak if you can do so without risk. Use water spray to reduce vapors. Take up with sand or other non-combustible absorbent material and place into container for later disposal. Flush spill area with water.
Keep container tightly closed. Suitable for any general chemical storage area. 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:
A system of local and/or general exhaust is recommended to keep employee exposures as low as possible. Local exhaust ventilation is generally preferred because it can control the emissions of the contaminant at its source, preventing dispersion of it into the general work area. Please refer to the ACGIH document, Industrial Ventilation, A Manual of Recommended Practices, most recent edition, for details.
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 impervious protective clothing, including boots, gloves, lab coat, apron or coveralls, as appropriate, to prevent skin contact.
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.
Other Control Measures:
There is insufficient data in the published literature to assign complete numerical SAF-T-DATA* ratings and laboratory protective equipment for this product. Special precautions must be used in storage, use and handling. Protective equipment for laboratory bench use should be chosen using professional judgment based on the size and type of reaction or test to be conducted and the available ventilation, with overriding consideration to minimize contact with the chemical.
