EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Appearance: colorless or white solid. Flash Point: 80 deg C.
Danger! Corrosive. Flammable solid. May cause
allergic respiratory and skin reaction. May be harmful if absorbed
through the skin. May be harmful if swallowed. May cause severe eye
and skin irritation with possible burns. May cause severe respiratory
and digestive tract irritation with possible burns. May cause liver
damage. Hygroscopic (absorbs moisture from the air). May cause fetal
effects based upon animal studies.
Target Organs: Blood, liver.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Contact with eyes may cause severe irritation, and possible eye
burns. May cause conjunctivitis and corneal inflammation.
Skin:
May be absorbed through the skin in harmful amounts. May cause skin
sensitization, an allergic reaction, which becomes evident upon
re-exposure to this material. May cause severe irritation and
possible burns.
Ingestion:
May cause liver damage. May cause severe gastrointestinal tract
irritation with nausea, vomiting and possible burns. Exposure may
cause anemia and other blood abnormalities. May be harmful if
swallowed.
Inhalation:
May cause allergic respiratory reaction. May cause severe irritation
of the respiratory tract with sore throat, coughing, shortness of
breath and delayed lung edema. May cause effects similar to those
described for ingestion.
Chronic:
Prolonged or repeated skin contact may cause dermatitis. May cause
fetal effects.
Section 4 - First Aid Measures
|
Eyes:
Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes,
occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Get medical aid imme
diately.
Skin:
Get medical aid. Immediately flush skin with plenty of water for at
least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes.
Wash clothing before reuse. Destroy contaminated shoes.
Ingestion:
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 immediately.
Inhalation:
Get medical aid immediately. Remove from exposure and move to fresh
air immediately. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If
breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Do NOT use mouth-to-mouth
resuscitation.
Notes to Physician:
Treat symptomatically and supportively.
Section 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. Dusts at sufficient concentrations can form
explosive mixtures with air. Use water spray to keep fire-exposed
containers cool. Containers may explode in the heat of a fire.
Flammable solid. Vapors may be heavier than air. They can spread
along the ground and collect in low or confined areas. May
polymerize explosively when involved in a fire. Contact with metals
may evolve flammable hydrogen gas.
Extinguishing Media:
Do NOT get water inside containers. For small fires, use dry
chemical, carbon dioxide, or water spray. For large fires, use dry
chemical, carbon dioxide, alcohol-resistant foam, or water spray.
Cool containers with flooding quantities of water until well after
fire is out.
Flash Point: 80 deg C ( 176.00 deg F)
Autoignition Temperature: Not available.
Explosion Limits, Lower:0.7
Upper: 6.3
NFPA Rating:
Not published.
Section 6 - Accidental Release Measures
|
General Information: Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated
in Section 8.
Spills/Leaks:
Sweep up or absorb material, then place into a suitable clean, dry,
closed container for disposal. Avoid generating dusty conditions.
Remove all sources of ignition. Use a spark-proof tool. Provide
ventilation.
Section 7 - Handling and Storage
|
Handling:
Wash thoroughly after handling. Remove contaminated clothing and
wash before reuse. Use with adequate ventilation. Minimize dust
generation and accumulation. Ground and bond containers when
transferring material. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Empty
containers retain product residue, (liquid and/or vapor), and can be
dangerous. Keep container tightly closed. Do not ingest or inhale.
Do not pressurize, cut, weld, braze, solder, drill, grind, or expose
empty containers to heat, sparks or open flames.
Storage:
Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible
substances. Corrosives area. Do not store in metal containers.
Section 8 - Exposure Controls, Personal Protection
|
Engineering Controls:
Use adequate general or local exhaust ventilation to keep airborne
concentrations below the permissible exposure limits.
