SECTION 4 - FIRE AND EXPLOSION INFORMATION
FLASHPOINT:
NONE
METHOD USED:
TOC, TCC, COC
FLAMMABLE LIMITS:
LOWER: 14% @ 25C UPPER: 22% @ 25C
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA:
Regular foam or water fog, or carbon dioxide, or dry chemical
HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS:
May form toxic materials:, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, hydrogen chloride, phosgene,
nitrogen compounds, various hydrocarbons.
FIREFIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS:
Forms flammable vapor-air mixtures. Lower temperatures increases the difficulty of getting
it to ignite.
PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT FOR FIREFIGHTERS:
Wear positive pressure breathing apparatus, and full protective equipment.
SECTION 5 - HEALTH HAZARD DATA
EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE
EYES:
Can cause severe irritation, redness, tearing, blurred vision.
SKIN:
Prolonged or repeated contact can cause skin irritation, even a burn.
BREATHING:
In confined or poorly ventilated areas, vapors can readily accumulate and can cause
unconsciousness and death. Minimal anesthetic or narcotic effects may be seen in the range
of 500-1000 ppm methylene chloride. Progressively higher levels over 100 ppm can cause
dizziness, drunkenness; concentrations as low as 10,000 ppm can cause unconsciousness and
death. The high levels may also cause cardiac arrythnias (irregular heartbeats).
SWALLOWING:
Can cause gastrointestinal irritation, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, blindness, and death.
Aspiration of material into lungs can cause chemical pneumonitis, which can be fatal.
FIRST AID
IF ON SKIN:
Thoroughly wash exposed area with soap and water. Remove contaminated clothing. Launder
clothing before re-use.
IF IN EYES:
Flush with large amounts of water, lifting upper and lower lids occasionally; SEEK MEDICAL
ATTENTION
IF SWALLOWED:
Call physician, emergency room or poison control center IMMEDIATELY for
instructions to induce vomiting. IF INHALED - If affected, remove to fresh air. If
breathing is difficult, administer oxygen. If breathing has stopped, give artificial
respiration. Keep person warm and quiet, and SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION. Do not give
stimulants. Epinephrine or ephedrine may adversely affect the heart with fatal results.
SECTION 6 - REACTIVITY DATA
HAZARDOUS
POLYMERIZATION:
Cannot occur
STABILITY:
Stable
INCOMPATIBILITY:
Avoid contact with strong oxidizing agents, strong alkalies, and strong mineral acids.
SECTION 7 - SPILL OR LEAK PROCEDURES
STEPS TO BE TAKEN IN CASE MATERIAL IS RELEASED OR SPILLED
SMALL SPILL:
Absorb liquid on paper, vermiculite, floor absorbent, or other absorbent material and
transfer to hood.
LARGE SPILL:
Eliminate all ignition sources (flares, flames, pilot lights, electrical sparks, etc.).
Persons not wearing protective equipment should be excluded from area of spill until
clean-up has been completed. Stop spill source, dike area of spill to prevent spreading.
Pump liquid to salvage tank. Remaining liquid may be taken up on sand, clay, earth, floor
absorbent, or other absorbent material and shoveled into containers.
WATER DISPOSAL METHOD
SMALL SPILL:
Allow volatile portion to evaporate in hood. Allow sufficient time for vapors to
completely clear hood duct work. Destroy remaining material by burning in an iron pan.
LARGE SPILL:
Destroy by liquid incineration with off-gas scrubber. Material collected on absorbent
material may be deposited in a posted toxic substance landfill in accordance with local,
state, and federal regulations.
SECTION 8 - SPECIAL PROTECTION INFORMATION
RESPIRATORY
PROTECTION:
If TLV of any component of the product is exceeded, a NIOSH/MESA jointly approved
self-contained breathing apparatus with a full face piece operated in pressure demand or
other positive pressure mode is advised; however, OSHA regulations also permit other
NIOSH/MESA respirators under specific conditions. (See your safety equipment supplier.)
VENTILATION:
Provide sufficient mechanical (general) and/or local exhaust ventilation to maintain
exposure below TLVs of components.
PROTECTIVE GLOVES:
Wear resistant gloves such as: polyvinyl alcohol, natural rubber, etc.
EYE PROTECTION:
Chemical splash goggles in compliance with OSHA regulations are advised; however, OSHA
regulations also permit other type safety glasses. (See your safety equipment supplier.)
SECTION 9 - SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS OR OTHER COMMENTS
Containers of this material may be
hazardous when emptied. since emptied containers retain product residues (vapor, liquid,
and/or solid), all hazard precautions given in this data sheet must be observed.
Overexposure to components has
apparently been found to cause the following effects in laboratory animals: liver
abnormalities, lung damage, kidney damage, spleen damage, eye damage, brain damage, and
central nervous system damage.
WARNING:
This product contains a chemical which is known to the State of California
to cause cancer in some laboratory animals. Risk to your health depends on level and
duration of exposure. Use with adequate ventilation. Avoid contact with skin.
The information accumulated herein is believed to be
accurate but is not warranted to be whether originating with Green's Products Company or
not.
