| [Flash Point] 77 | |
| [Fire Fighting] Use water in flooding quantities as fog. Use alcohol foam, dry chemical or carbon dioxide. Cool all affected containers with flooding quantities of water. Apply water from as far a distance as possible. Keep run-off water out of sewers and water sources. | |
| [Fire Fighting] Wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and full protective gear. Extinguishing media: Use water spray, dry chemical, or foam. | |
| [Fire Potential] May burn but does not ignite readily. | |
| [Ingestion] Get medical aid. Wash mouth out with water. | |
| [Ingestion] If the victim is conscious and not convulsing, give 1 or 2 glasses of water to dilute the chemical and IMMEDIATELY call a hospital or poison control center. MMEDIATELY transport the victim to a hospital. | |
| [Inhalation] IMMEDIATELY leave the contaminated area; take deep breaths of fresh air. IMMEDIATELY call a physician and be prepared to transport the victim to a hospital even if no symptoms (such as wheezing, coughing, shortness of breath, or burning in the mouth, throat, or chest) develop. Provide proper respiratory protection to rescuers entering an unknown atmosphere. Whenever possible, Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) should be used. | |
| [Inhalation] May cause respiratory tract irritation. | |
| [Inhalation] Remove from exposure to fresh air immediately. Get medical aid if cough or other symptoms appear. | |
| [Skin] May cause skin irritation. | |
| [Skin] Flush skin with plenty of soap and water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Get medical aid if irritation develops or persists. | |
| [Skin] IMMEDIATELY flood affected skin with water while removing and isolating all contaminated clothing. Gently wash all affected skin areas thoroughly with soap and water. IMMEDIATELY call a hospital or poison control center even if no symptoms (such as redness or irritation) develop. IMMEDIATELY transport the victim to a hospital for treatment after washing the affected areas. | |
| [Eyes] May cause eye irritation. | |
| [Eyes] First check the victim for contact lenses and remove if present. Flush victim's eyes with water or normal saline solution for 20 to 30 minutes while simultaneously calling a hospital or poison control center. Do not put any ointments, oils, or medication in the victim's eyes without specific instructions from a physician. IMMEDIATELY transport the victim after flushing eyes to a hospital even if no symptoms (such as redness or irritation) develop. | |
| [Eyes] Flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Get medical aid. | |
| [Storage] Keep in well ventilated area. | |
| [Storage] Store in a cool, dry place. Store in a tightly closed container. | |
| [Handling] All chemicals should be considered hazardous. Avoid direct physical contact. Use appropriate, approved safety equipment. Untrained individuals should not handle this chemical or its container. Handling should occur in a chemical fume hood. | |
| [Handling] Avoid breathing dust, vapor, mist, or gas. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Use only in a chemical fume hood. | |
| [Ingestion] May cause irritation of the digestive tract. The toxicological properties of this substance have not been fully investigated. | |
| [Inhalation] Inhalation of vapors or dust is extremely irritating. May cause coughing, difficult breathing and nausea. Brief exposure effects last only a few minutes. Exposure in an enclosed area may be very harmful. | |
| [Skin] Repeated exposure may cause skin necrosis; single one-time exposure appears to have little effect. | |
| [Eyes] DBCP is an eye irritant, but is not caustic. | |
| [Ingestion] Burning sensation, nausea, sore throat, vomiting. | |
| [Hazards] Containers may explode when heated. | |
