| [Flash Point] 140 | |
| [Autoignition] 460 | |
| [Fire Fighting] Wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and full protective gear. During a fire, irritating and highly toxic gases may be generated by thermal decomposition or combustion. Water may be ineffective. Material is lighter than water and a fire may be spread by the use of water. Extinguishing media: Use extinguishing media most appropriate for the surrounding fire. In case of fire use water spray, dry chemical, carbon dioxide, or appropriate foam. | |
| [Fire Potential] This chemical is combustible. | |
| [Ingestion] Do NOT induce vomiting. 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] Remove from exposure to fresh air immediately. Get medical aid. DO NOT use mouth-to-mouth respiration. Administer oxygen. If breathing has ceased apply artificial respiration using oxygen and a suitable mechanical device such as a bag and a mask. | |
| [Skin] Get medical aid. Flush skin with plenty of soap and water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash clothing before reuse. | |
| [Eyes] Flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Get medical aid. | |
| [Storage] Keep container closed when not in use. Store in a tightly closed container. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible substances. | |
| [Handling] Wash thoroughly after handling. Use only in a well ventilated area. Avoid breathing dust, vapor, mist, or gas. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Do not ingest or inhale. Wash clothing before reuse. | |
| [Inhalation] May cause respiratory tract irritation. May cause irritation of the mucous membranes. | |
| [Skin] Causes skin irritation. May cause skin sensitization, an allergic reaction, which becomes evident upon re-exposure to this material. | |
| [Eyes] Causes eye irritation. | |
| [Ingestion] May cause gastrointestinal irritation with nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. May be harmful if swallowed. May cause central nervous system effects. | |
| [EC Risk Phrase] R 22 36/38 52/53 | |
| [EC Safety Phrase] S 61 | |
| [Personal Protection] Eyes: Wear appropriate protective eyeglasses or chemical safety goggles as described by OSHA's eye and face protection regulations in 29 CFR 1910.133 or European Standard EN166. Skin: Wear appropriate protective gloves to prevent skin exposure. Clothing: Wear appropriate protective clothing to prevent skin exposure. | |
| [Respirators] A respiratory protection program that meets OSHA's 29 CFR 1910.134 and ANSI Z88.2 requirements or European Standard EN 149 must be followed whenever workplace conditions warrant a respirator's use. | |
| [Exposure Effects] Prolonged or repeated exposure may cause adverse reproductive effects. Laboratory experiments have resulted in mutagenic effects. Chronic overexposure may produce erythremia, bullous eruptions, contact urticaria, muscle cramping, slurred speech, tremors, seizures, or coma. | |
