3. Hazards
Identification
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Appearance: colorless clear liquid. Flash Point: 49 deg C.
Hygroscopic (absorbs moisture from the air).
Target Organs: Central nervous system, lungs, nerves.
Potential Health Effects
Eye: May cause eye irritation.
Skin: May cause skin irritation.
Ingestion: May cause irritation of the digestive tract. May
cause central nervous system depression. May cause burning sensations, coughing,
wheezing, laryngitis, shortness of breath and headache.
Inhalation: Harmful if inhaled. Causes respiratory tract
irritation. May cause narcotic effects in high concentration. Inhalation may
produce burning sensation, coughing, wheezing, laryngitis, shortness of breath,
headache, nausea, and vomiting.
Chronic: Not available.
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. Flush skin with plenty of water for at
least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes.
Ingestion: Get medical aid. Wash mouth out with water.
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.
Notes to Physician: Treat symptomatically and supportively.
5. Fire Fighting
Measures
General Information: As in any fire, wear a self-contained
breathing apparatus in pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and
full protective gear. Vapors can travel to a source of ignition and flash back.
Will burn if involved in a fire. Flammable liquid and vapor. Vapors may be
heavier than air. They can spread along the ground and collect in low or
confined areas.
Extinguishing Media: Use water spray, dry chemical, carbon
dioxide, or chemical foam.
Flash Point: 49 deg C ( 120.20 deg F)
Autoignition Temperature: 300 deg C ( 572.00 deg F)
Explosion Limits, Lower:1.30 vol %
Upper: 10.50 vol %
NFPA Rating: (estimated) Health: 1; Flammability: 3;
Instability: 0
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. Remove all
sources of ignition. Use a spark-proof tool.
7. Handling and
Storage
Handling: Use spark-proof tools and explosion proof equipment.
Avoid breathing dust, vapor, mist, or gas. Avoid contact with skin and eyes.
Take precautionary measures against static discharges. Use only in a chemical
fume hood.
Storage: Keep away from sources of ignition. Store in a cool,
dry place. Store in a tightly closed container. Flammables-area.
8. Exposure
Controls, Personal Protection
Engineering Controls: Use adequate general or local
explosion-proof ventilation to keep airborne levels to acceptable levels.
