HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION EMERGENCY OVERVIEW: PHYSICAL APPARANCE: Transparent, colorless liquid. IMMEDIATE CONCERNS: Warning! High concentrations of vapor can reduce oxygen available for breathing. Harmful if inhaled. May decompose on contact with flames or extremely hot metal surfaces to produce toxic and corrosive products. 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). INGESTION: Substance may be harmful is 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: Liquid splashed in the eye may cause redness, irritation and conjunctivitis. 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, 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. 4. FIRST AID MEASURES EYES: Immediately flush with plenty of water. After initial flushing, remove any contact lenses and continue flushing for at least 15 minutes. Have eyes examined and tested by medical personnel. 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 consciousness). ACUTE TOXICITY: Overexposure may cause dizziness and loss of concentration. At higher levels, CNS depression and cardiac arrhythmia may result. 5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES FLASHPOINT AND METHOD: Not Flammable EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Use alcohol foam, carbon dioxide, or water spray when fighting fires involving this material. 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 EQUIPEMENT: 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. 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE HANDLING Use with adequate ventilation. STORAGE: Store away from heat. 8.
