EXPLOSIVE LIMIT (PRODUCT) LOWER -
2.0% UPPER - 12.0%
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA:
Alcohol foam or carbon dioxide or dry chemical.
HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS:
May form toxic materials:, carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide, etc.
FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES:
Wear self-contained breathing apparatus with a full facepiece operated in the positive
pressure demand mode when fighting fires. Water may not be effective for fighting fires.
Water may be used to keep fire-exposed containers cool until fire is out.
SPECIAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS:
Vapors form from this product and may travel or be moved by air currents and ignited by
pilot lights, other flames, sparks, heaters, electrical equipment static discharges or
other ignition sources at locations distant from product handling point. Never use welding
or cutting torch on or near drum (even empty) because product (even just residue) can
ignite explosively. All five-gallon pails and larger metal containers should be grounded
and/or bonded when material is transferred.
SECTION 5 - HEALTH HAZARD DATA
PERMISSIBLE EXPOSURE LEVEL: 400 PPM THRESHOLD LIMIT
VALUE: 400 PPM
EFFECTS OF ACUTE OVEREXPOSURE:
EYES:
Exposure to liquid or vapor may cause eye irritation. Symptoms may include burning,
tearing, redness, and swelling.
SKIN:
Exposure may cause mild skin irritation. Prolonged or repeated exposure may dry the skin.
Symptoms may include redness, burning, dry and cracking, and skin burns.
BREATHING:
Excessive inhalation of vapors can cause nasal and respiratory irritation and central
nervous system effects including dizziness, weakness, fatigue, nausea, headache and
possible unconsciousness.
SWALLOWING:
Can cause gastrointestinal irritation, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea.
EMERGENCY & FIRST AID PROCEDURES:
IF SWALLOWED:
Immediately drink two glasses or water and induce vomiting by either giving Ipecac syrup
or by placing finger at back of throat. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious
person. Get medical attention immediately.
IF ON SKIN:
Remove contaminated clothing. Wash exposed area with soap and water. Launder contaminated
clothing before reuse. If symptoms persist, seek medical attention.
IF BREATHED:
If affected, remove individual to fresh air. If breathing is difficult, administer oxygen.
If breathing has stopped give artificial respiration. Keep person warm, quiet and get
medical attention.
IF IN EYES:
If symptoms develop, move individuals away from exposure and into fresh air. Flush eyes
for at least 15 minutes while holding eyelids apart.
SECTION 6 - REACTIVITY DATA
STABILITY:
Stable.
CONDITIONS TO AVOID:
None.
INCOMPATIBILITY (MATERIALS TO AVOID):
Do not use with aluminum equipment at temperatures above 120 Deg F., avoid contact with:,
strong oxidizing agents, nitric acid, sulfuric acid, aldehydes, halogens.
HAZARDOUS POLYMERIZATION:
Will not occur.
SECTION 7 - SPILL OR LEAK PROCEDURES
STEPS TO BE TAKEN IN CASE
MATERIAL IS RELEASED OR SPILLED:
SMALL SPILL:
Eliminate all sources of ignition such as flares, flames (including pilot lights), and
electrical sparks. Absorb liquid on vermiculite, floor absorbent, or other absorbent
material and transfer to hood.
LARGE SPILL:
Eliminate all ignition sources (flares, flames including pilot lights, electrical sparks).
Persons not wearing protective equipment should be excluded from area of spill until clean
up has been completed. Stop spill at source, prevent from entering drains, sewers, streams
or other bodies of water. Prevent from spreading. If runoff occurs, notify authorities as
required. Pump or vacuum transfer spilled product to clean containers for recovery. Absorb
unrecoverable product. Transfer contaminated absorbent, soil and other materials to
containers for disposal.
WASTE DISPOSAL METHOD:
Dispose of in accordance with all appropriate Federal, State and local regulations.
SECTION 8 - SPECIAL PROTECTION INFORMATION
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION:
If workplace exposure limit(s) or product or any component is exceeded a NIOSH/MSHA
approved air supplied respirator is advised in absence of proper environmental control.
OSHA regulations also permit other NIOSH/MSHA respirators (negative pressure type) under
specified conditions. Engineering or administrative controls should be implemented to
reduce exposure.
VENTILATION:
Provide sufficient mechanical (general and/or local exhaust) ventilation to maintain
exposure below TLV(s).
PROTECTIVE GLOVES:
Wear resistant gloves such as: natural rubber, neoprene.
EYE PROTECTION:
Chemical splash goggles in compliance with OSHA regulations are advised; however, OSHA
regulations also permit other type safety glasses.
OTHER PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT:
To prevent repeated or prolonged skins contact, wear impervious clothing and boots.
SECTION 9 - SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS
OR OTHER COMMENTS
PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN IN HANDLING AND STORAGE:
Containers of this material may be hazardous when emptied, since emptied containers retain
product residues (vapors, liquid, and/or solid), all hazard precautions given in the data
sheet must be observed.
WARNING!!!!:
Sudden release of hot organic chemical vapors or mists from process equipment operating at
elevated temperature and pressure, or sudden ingress of air into vacuum equipment, may
result in ignitions without the presence of obvious ignition sources. Published
"autoignition" or "ignition" temperature values cannot be treated as
safe operating temperatures in chemical processes without analysis of the actual process
conditions. Any use of this product in elevated temperature processes should be thoroughly
evaluated to establish and maintain safe operating conditions.
The information accumulated herein is believed to be
accurate but is not warranted to be whether originating with the company or not.
Recipients are advised to confirm in advance of need that the information is current,
applicable, and suitable to their circumstances.
