CAS: 109-68-2

Fraction By Weight: 100.0%

Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:No IARC:No OSHA:No
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:

First Aid: INHALATION: If adverse effects occur, remove to
uncontaminated area. Give artificial respiration if not breathing.
Get immediate medical attention. SKIN CONTACT: Wash skin with soap
and water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated
clothing and shoes. Get medical attention, if needed. Thoroughly
clean and dry contaminated clothing and shoes before reuse. EYE
CONTACT: Flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes.
Then get immediate medical attention. INGESTION: Get medical
attention immediately. NOTE TO PHYSICIAN: For ingestion, consider
gastric lavage.

Flash Point:-51 F (-46 C) (CC)
Extinguishing Media:regular dry chemical, carbon dioxide, water,
regular foam Large fires: Use regular foam or flood with fine water
spray.
Fire Fighting Procedures:Move container from fire area if it can be
done without risk. Cool containers with water spray until well
after the fire is out. Stay away from the ends of tanks. For fires
in cargo or storage area: Cool containers with water from unmanned
hose holder or monitor nozzles until well after fire is out. If
this is impossible then take the following precautions: Keep
unnecessary people away, isolate hazard area and deny entry. Let
the fire burn. Withdraw immediately in case of rising sound from
venting safety device or any discoloration of tanks due to fire.
For tank, rail car or tank truck: Evacuation radius: 800 meters
(1/2 mile). Do not attempt to extinguish fire unless flow of
material can be stopped first. Flood with fine water spray. Do not
scatter spilled material with high-pressure water streams. Cool
containers with water spray until well after the fire is out. Apply
water from a protected location or from a safe distance. Avoid
inhalation of material ocombustion by-products. Stay upwind and
keep out of low areas.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:Severe fire hazard. The vapor is heavier
than air. Vapors or gases may ignite at distant ignition sources
and flash back. Vapor/air mixtures are explosive.

Spill Release Procedures:Avoid heat, flames, sparks and other sources
of ignition. Stop leak if possible without personal risk. Reduce
vapors with water spray. Small spills: Absorb with sand or other
non-combustible material. Collect spilled material in appropriate
container for disposal. Large spills: Dike for later disposal.
Remove sources of ignition. Keep unnecessary people away, isolate
hazard area and deny entry.
Neutralizing Agent:

Handling and Storage Precautions:Store and handle in accordance with
all current regulations and standards. Subject to storage
regulations: U.S. OSHA 29 CFR 1910.106. Grounding and bonding
required. Keep separated from incompatible substances.
Other Precautions:

Respiratory Protection:Under conditions of frequent use or heavy
exposure, respiratory protection may be needed. Respiratory
protection is ranked in order from minimum to maximum. Consider
warning properties before use. Any supplied-air respirator with a
full facepiece that is operated in a pressure-demand or other
positive-pressure mode. Any self-contained breathing apparatus that
has a full facepiece and is operated in a pressure-demand or other
positive-pressure mode. For Unknown Concentrations or Immediately
Dangerous to Life or Health - Any supplied-air respirator with full
facepiece and operated in a pressure-demand or other
positive-pressure mode in combination with a separate escape
supply. Any self-contained breathing apparatus with a full
facepiece.
Ventilation:Provide local exhaust ventilation system. Ventilation
equipment should be explosion-resistant if explosive concentrations
of material are present. Ensure compliance with applicable exposure
limits.
Protective Gloves:Wear appropriate chemical resistant gloves.
Eye Protection:Wear splash resistant safety goggles. Provide an
emergency eye wash fountain and quick drench shower in the
immediate work area.
Other Protective Equipment:Wear appropriate chemical resistant
clothing.
Supplemental Safety and Health
