Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:EYE: MAY CAUSE PAIN AND SLIGHT
IRRITATION. SKIN: PROLONGED OR REPEATED EXPOSURE MAY CAUSE
IRRITATION, DRYING OR FLAKING OF SKIN. INGESTION: SINGLE ORAL DOSE
TOXICITY IS LOW HOWEVER SWALLOWING LARGE A MOUNTS MAY CAUSE INJURY
OR DEATH. INHALATION: IN CONFINED OR POORLY VENTILATED AREAS,
VAPORS CAN READILY ACCUMULATE AND CAN CAUSE UNCONCIOUSNESS AND

CONSCIOUS, DRINK LARGE QUANTITIES OF WATER. GET IMMEDIATE MEDICAL
ATTENTION.

Flash Point:NONE
Lower Limits:12.5
Upper Limits:90
Extinguishing Media:WATER FOG OR FINE SPRAY, DRY CHEMICAL, FOAM, OR
CARBON DIOXIDE. WATER FOG APPLIED GENTLY MAY BE USED AS A BLANKET
FOR FIRE EXTINGUISHMENT.
Fire Fighting Procedures:KEEP PEOPLE AWAY. ISOLATE FIRE AREA DENY
UNNECESSARY ENTRY. CONTAIN FIRE RUNOFF IF POSSIBLE. BURNING LIQUID
MAY BE MOVED BY FLUSHING WITH WATER TO PROTECT PERSONNEL AND
MINIMIZE PROPERTY DAMAGE. WEAR FULL PROTECTIVE CLOTHING AND
SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS WITH FULL FACEPIECE OPERATED IN
POSITIVE PRESSURE MODE.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:CONCENTRATED VAPORS CAN BE IGNITED WITH A
HIGH ENERGY SPARK, FLAME OR OTHER HIGH INTENSITY HEAT SOURCE. MAY
FORM HYDROGEN CHLORIDE AND TRACES OF PHOSGENE.

Spill Release Procedures:CLEAR ALL PERSONNEL FROM AREA. DO NOT BREATHE
VAPORS. VENTILATE AREA OF LEAK OR SPILL. WEAR PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
INCLUDING POSITIVE PRESSURE SELF CONTAINED OR AIR SUPPLIED
BREATHING APPARATUS. FOLLOW CONFINED SPACE ENTRY PROCEDURES: ASTM
D-4276 AND OSHA 29CFR 1910.146. CONTAIN LIQUID TO PREVENT
CONTAMINATION OF SOIL, SURFACE WATER, OR GROUND WATER.
Neutralizing Agent:NONE APPLICABLE FOR THIS MATERIAL

Handling and Storage Precautions:VENT VAPOR TO STORAGE TANK. DO NOT EAT
DRINK OR SMOKE IN WORK AREA. DO NOT CUT DRILL GRIND WELD OR PERFORM
SIMILAR OPERATIONS ON OR NEAR EMPTY CONTAINERS. KEEP CONTAINER
TIGHTLY CLOSED WHEN NOT IN USE . STORE IN COOL, DRY, WELL
VENTILATED AREA. PROTECT FROM PHYSICAL DAMAGE, HEAT AND IGNITION
SOURCES.
Other Precautions:ALUMINUM IS NOT AN ACCEPTABLE MATERIAL FOR TANKS,
FITTINGS, MIXERS OR PUMPS. AVOID BREATHING VAPORS.

Respiratory Protection:NONE NORMALLY REQUIRED. WHEN RESPIRATORY
PROTECTION IS REQUIRED, USE AN APPROVED AIR PURIFYING OR POSITIVE
PRESSURE SUPPLIED AIR RESPIRATOR DEPENDING ON THE POTENTIAL
AIRBORNE CONCENTRATION.
Ventilation:MECHANICAL (GENERAL) VENTILATION IS REQUIRED. LOCAL EXHAUST
MAY BE REQUIRED IF WORK AREA IS NOT VENTED.
Protective Gloves:NEOPRENE OR VITON.
Eye Protection:CHEMICAL SAFETY GOGGLES. IF VAPOR CAUSES EYE DISCOMFORT
USE FULLFACE RESPIRATOR
Other Protective Equipment:SAFETY SHOWER AND EYE BATH. OTHER EQUIPMENT
AS REQUIRED TO MINIMIZE EXPOSURE FROM PROLONGED OR REPEATED
CONTACT.
Work Hygienic Practices:WASH THROUGHLY AFTER HANDLING AND BEFORE
EATING. LAUNDER CONTAMINATED CLOTHING BEFORE REUSE.
Supplemental Safety and Health
INHALATION: MINIMAL ANESTHETIC OR IRRITANT EFFECTS MAY BE SEEN AROUND
200-400 PPM. LEVELS IN THE RANGE OF 1000-2000 PPM MAY RAPIDLY
CAUSE DIZZINESS OR DRUNKENNESS. PROGRESSIVELY HIGHER LEVELS OR LONG
ER EXPOSURE MAY CAUSE UNCONCIOUSNESS AND DEATH. ALCOHOL CONSUMED
BEFORE OR AFTER EXPOSURE MAY INCREASE ADVERESE EFFECTS.
