HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION EMERGENCY OVERVIEW PHYSICAL APPEARANCE: Transparent, colorless liquid. IMMEDIATE CONCERNS: Extremely flammable liquid and vapor. POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS EYES: Substance causes substantial eye irritation. SKIN: Prolonged or repeated contact can result in defatting and drying of the skin which may result in skin irritation and dermatitis (rash). SKIN ABSORPTION: Skin absorption can occur. INGESTION: Substance may be harmful if swallowed. INHALATION: High concentrations in immediate area can displace oxygen and can cause dizziness, unconsciousness, and possibly death with longer exposure. Keep people away from such vapors without selfcontained breathing apparatus. SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF OVEREXPOSURE EYES: Symptoms of overexposure include: stinging, tearing, redness and pain. SKIN: Prolonged exposure causes redness, pain, drying and cracking of the skin. INGESTION: For large amounts; abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting. INHALATION: High concentrations may lead to central nervous system effects (drowsiness, dizziness, nausea, headaches, paralysis and loss of consciousness). ACUTE TOXICITY: Overexposure may cause dizziness and loss of concentration. At higher levels, CNS depression and cardiac arrhythmia may result. TARGET ORGAN STATEMENT: Prolonged or repeated overexposure may cause central nervous system, kidney, liver, and lung damage. 4. FIRST AID MEASURES EYES: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Get immediate medical attention. file:///N|/MSDS/609697mx.htm (2 of 8)1/13/2004 12:05:45 PM ECG Eco Line Flux Remover SKIN: Immediately flush skin with plenty of water. Remove clothing. Get medical attention immediately. Wash clothing separately before reuse. INGESTION: If swallowed, gently wipe or rinse the inside of the mouth with water. DO NOT induce vomiting. Sips of water may be given if person is fully conscious. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious or convulsing person. Immediately contact a poison control center, emergency room or physician as further treatment may be necessary. INHALATION: Remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration or give oxygen by trained personnel. Seek immediate medical attention. 5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES FLAMMABLE LIMITS: 2.0 to 12.0 GENERAL HAZARD: Flammable Liquid. Can release vapors that form explosive mixtures at temperatures at or above the flash point. EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Use alcohol foam, carbon dioxide, or water spray when fighting fires involving this material. HAZARDOUS COMBUSTION PRODUCTS: Smoke, fumes and oxides of carbon. EXPLOSION HAZARDS: Vapors may form explosive mixture with air. FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES: Use water spray to keep fire-exposed containers cool and to knock down vapors which may result from product decomposition. FIRE FIGHTING EQUIPMENT: As in any fire, wear self-contained breathing apparatus pressure-demand, (MSHA/NIOSH approved or equivalent) and full protective gear. HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS: Toxic oxides of carbon and corrosive vapors of hydrogen chloride. 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES SMALL SPILL: Contain spill with dike to prevent entry into sewers. LARGE SPILL: If this material is released into a work area, evacuate the area immediately. GENERAL PROCEDURES: Dike area to contain spill. Take precautions as necessary to prevent contamination of ground and surface waters. Recover spilled material on adsorbent, such as sawdust or vermiculite, and sweep into closed containers for disposal. After all visible traces, including vapors, have been removed thoroughly wet vacuum the area. Do not flush to sewer. If area of spill is porous, remove as much contaminated earth, gravel, etc. as necessary and place in closed containers for disposal. SPECIAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT: Only personnel equipped with proper respiratory and skin/eye protection should be permitted in area. See Section 8 for details. file:///N|/MSDS/609697mx.htm (3 of 8)1/13/2004 12:05:45 PM ECG Eco Line Flux Remover COMMENTS: Remove all sources of ignition. Use spark-proof tools. 7.
