3. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION

EMERGENCY OVERVIEW

PHYSICAL APPEARANCE: Clear, Colorless liquid.

IMMEDIATE CONCERNS: CAUTION! May cause eye and skin irritation.

POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS

EYES: Moderate Irritation and Discomfort.

SKIN: Moderate irritation and discomfort possible. Defatting of skin, redness and chemical dermatitis possible. Toxic systemic effects from absorption are possible.

INGESTION: No significant effects beyond minor discormfort is expected.

INHALATION: Dizziness, impaired coordination, headaches and loss of consciousness. Severe respiratory tract irritation. Toxic systemic effects are possible.

ROUTES OF ENTRY: Absorption, Inhalation


4. FIRST AID MEASURES

EYES: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for 15 minutes. If irritation persists, seek medical attention.

SKIN: Wash exposed area with mild soap and water. Get medical attention if irritation develops or persists.

INGESTION: Do not Induce Vomiting. Get immediate medical attention.

INHALATION: Remove victim from area of exposure. If unconscious, give oxygen. Give artificial respiration if not breathing. Get immediate medical attention.


5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES

FLASHPOINT AND METHOD: (50°F)TAG CC

FLAMMABLE LIMITS: 1.0 to 5.0

EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Use dry chemical, foam, or carbon dioxide.

EXPLOSION HAZARDS: Vapor accumulations may flash and/or explode if ignited. Keep ignition sources, open flames, ect., away from thse fumes.

FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES: Proper respiratory equipment to protect against the hazardous effects of combustion products is recommended. Water in a straight hose stream may cause fire to spread and should be used as a cooling medium only.


6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

SMALL SPILL:

Extinguish possible sources of ignition. Evacuate all unprotected personnel and ventilate area. Only personnel equipped with proper respiratory, skin/eye protection should enter spill area. Dike area to contain spill and clean up by absorbing on an inert absorbant or other means. Don't flush into sewers or natural waterways.

LARGE SPILL:

Contain material as described above and call the local fire or police department for immediate emergency assistance.
