Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:INHALATION: SHORT TERM EXPOSURE:
irritation, low body temperature, nausea, stomach pain, difficulty
breathing, headache, drowsiness, symptoms of drunkenness, kidney
damage, liver damage, coma LONG TERM EXPOSURE: same as effects

nausea, diarrhea, symptoms of drunkenness, kidney damage, liver
damage, coma LONG TERM EXPOSURE: no information on significant
adverse effects
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:

First Aid: INHALATION: It is unlikely that emergency treatment will be
required. 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: Contact local poison control center or
physician immediately. Never make an unconscious person vomit or
drink fluids. When vomiting occurs, keep head lower than hips to
help prevent aspiration. If person is unconscious, turn head to
side. Get medical attention immediately. NOTE TO PHYSICIAN: For
ingestion, consider gastric lavage and activated charcoal slurry.

Flash Point:-4 F (-20 C) (CC)
Autoignition Temp:869 F (465 C)
Lower Limits:2.5%
Upper Limits:13%
Extinguishing Media:alcohol resistant foam, carbon dioxide, regular dry
chemical, water, alcohol resistant foam Large fires: Use
alcohol-resistant 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). Water may be ineffective.
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. Remove 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. Keep unnecessary people away,
isolate hazard area and deny entry. Stay upwind and keep out of low
areas. Notify Local Emergency Planning Committee and State
Emergency Response Commission for release greater than or equal to
RQ (U.S. SARA Section 304). If release occurs in the U.S. and is
reportable under CERCLA Section 103, notify the National Response
Center at (800)424-8802 (USA) or (202)426-2675 (USA).
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:The following respirators and maximum use
concentrations are drawn from NIOSH and/or OSHA. 2500 ppm Any
chemical cartridge respirator with organic vapor cartridge(s). Any
powered, air-purifying respirator with organic vapor cartridge(s).
Any air-purifying respirator with a full facepiece and an organic
vapor canister. Any supplied-air respirator. Any self-contained
breathing apparatus with a full facepiece. Escape - Any
air-purifying respirator with a full facepiece and an organic vapor
canister. Any appropriate escape-type, self-contained breathing
apparatus. 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: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.
