SECTION 4 - FIRE AND EXPLOSION DATA

 

FLASH POINT: 11¡C                                             FLAMMABLE LIMITS: N.E.

EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Alcohol foam, dry chemical, carbon dioxide

SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus with full protective equipment.

UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS: When heated above the flashpoint: emits vapors, which when mixed with air, can burn or be explosive. Fine mists on sprays may be flammable at temperatures below the flash point. Sealed containers exposed to elevated temperatures may rupture explosively due to polymerization. Vapors are heavier than air and may travel to ignition source.

HAZARDOUS COMBUSTION PRODUCTS: Carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, smoke

SECTION 6 - HEALTH HAZARD DATA and FIRST AID INFORMATION - continued

 

ROUTES OF ENTRY:         Inhalation                                   Skin                                     Ingestion

 

HEALTH HAZARD (Acute and Chronic):

            INHALATION: May cause nose and throat irritation. May cause nervous system depression. Reports have associated repeated and prolonged overexposure to brain damage and nervous system damage. May cause irritation or burning of mucous membranes.

            INGESTION: May cause abnormal liver and kidney function

            SKIN: May cause irritation or burning of skin. Repeated exposure may cause skin burns and allergic reactions.

            EYES: May cause irritation or burning of eyes.

 

SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF OVEREXPOSURE: Progressive steps of inhalation overexposure: headache, dizziness, nausea, staggering gait, confusion, unconsciousness.

CONDITIONS GENERALLY AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE: N.E.

 

EMERGENCY FIRST AID PROCEDURES:

            INHALATION: Remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Seek medical attention.

            INGESTION: Do not induce vomiting. Give one or two glasses of water and seek medical attention.

            SKIN: Wash with soap and water. Wash clothes prior to reuse.

            EYES: Immediately flush eyes with water. Seek medical attention.

 

SECTION 7 - PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE HANDLING AND USE

 

IN CASE OF RELEASE OR SPILL: Eliminate source of ignition. Wear skin, eye, respiratory protection. Contain spill and keep out of sewers. Use absorbent to soak up liquid. Use non-sparking equipment and shovel into waste container.
