EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Appearance: clear, colorless liquid. Flash Point: -32 deg C.
Danger! Extremely flammable liquid and vapor.
Vapor may cause flash fire. May cause eye, skin, and respiratory
tract irritation. May cause central nervous system depression. May
cause liver and kidney damage.
Target Organs: Kidneys, central nervous system,
liver.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
May cause eye irritation. May cause chemical conjunctivitis and
corneal damage.
Skin:
May cause irritation and dermatitis.
Ingestion:
May cause gastrointestinal irritation with nausea, vomiting and
diarrhea. May cause liver and kidney damage. May cause nausea and
vomiting. Ingestion of large amounts may cause CNS depression.
Inhalation:
Inhalation of high concentrations may cause central nervous system
effects characterized by nausea, headache, dizziness, unconsciousness
and coma. May cause respiratory tract irritation. May cause liver and
kidney damage. Aspiration may lead to pulmonary edema. Vapors may
cause dizziness or suffocation. May cause burning sensation in the
chest.
Chronic:
May cause liver and kidney damage.
Section 4 - First Aid Measures
|
Eyes:
Flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, occasionally
lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Get medical aid.
Skin:
Get medical aid if irritation develops or persists. Wash clothing
before reuse. Flush skin with plenty of soap and water.
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.
Inhalation:
Remove from exposure and move to fresh air immediately. If not
breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult,
give oxygen. Get medical aid. Do NOT use mouth-to-mouth
resuscitation. If breathing has ceased apply artificial respiration
using oxygen and a suitable mechanical device such as a bag and a
mask.
Notes to Physician:
Treat symptomatically and supportively.
Section 5 - Fire Fighting Measures
|
General Information:
Containers can build up pressure if exposed to heat and/or fire. As
in any fire, wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in
pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and full
protective gear. Vapors may form an explosive mixture with air.
Vapors can travel to a source of ignition and flash back. Use water
spray to keep fire-exposed containers cool. Water may be ineffective.
Material is lighter than water and a fire may be spread by the use of
water. Vapors may be heavier than air. They can spread along the
ground and collect in low or confined areas. Extremely flammable
liquid and vapor. Vapor may cause flash 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. Water may be ineffective. Do NOT use
straight streams of water.
Flash Point: -32 deg C ( -25.60 deg F)
Autoignition Temperature: 590 deg C ( 1,094.00 deg F)
Explosion Limits, Lower:2.80 vol %
Upper: 10.70 vol %
NFPA Rating:
(estimated) Health: 2; Flammability: 4; Instability: 0
Section 6 - Accidental Release Measures
|
General Information: Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated
in Section 8.
Spills/Leaks:
Absorb spill with inert material (e.g. vermiculite, sand or earth),
then place in suitable container. Avoid runoff into storm sewers and
ditches which lead to waterways. Clean up spills immediately,
observing precautions in the Protective Equipment section. Remove all
sources of ignition. Use a spark-proof tool. Provide ventilation. A
vapor suppressing foam may be used to reduce vapors.
Section 7 - Handling and Storage
|
Handling:
Wash thoroughly after handling. Use only in a well-ventilated area.
Ground and bond containers when transferring material. Use
spark-proof tools and explosion proof equipment. Avoid contact with
eyes, skin, and clothing. Empty containers retain product residue,
(liquid and/or vapor), and can be dangerous. Keep container tightly
closed. Keep away from heat, sparks and flame. Avoid ingestion and
inhalation. Do not pressurize, cut, weld, braze, solder, drill,
grind, or expose empty containers to heat, sparks or open flames.
Storage:
Keep away from heat, sparks, and flame. Keep away from sources of
ignition. Store in a tightly closed container. Store in a cool, dry,
well-ventilated area away from incompatible substances.
Flammables-area.
Section 8 - Exposure Controls, Personal Protection
|
Engineering Controls:
Facilities storing or utilizing this material should be equipped
with an eyewash facility and a safety shower. Use adequate general or
local explosion-proof ventilation to keep airborne levels to
acceptable levels.

Ecotoxicity:
No data available.
No information available.
Environmental:
Terrestrial: Will have high mobility in soil. Hydrolysis in moist
soils may occur with a measured half-life of 38 days in aqueous
solution at pH 7. Volatilization should be important from moist soil
surfaces. Aquatic: Should not adsorb to suspended solids and
sediment in water. Hydrolysis is expected to occur with a measured
half-life of 38 days. Atmospheric: Will exist solely as a vapor in
the ambient atmosphere. Vapor-phase is degraded in the atmosphere by
reaction with photochemically-produced hydroxyl radicals. Half-life
17 days.
Physical:
There is slight bioconcentration and biodegradation.
Other:
No information available.
