Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:INHALATION: SHORT TERM EXPOSURE:
irritation (possibly severe), tearing, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea,
difficulty breathing, asthma, headache, drowsiness, symptoms of
drunkenness, fainting, bluish skin color, lung damage, death LONG
TERM EXPOSURE: lung damage SKIN CONTACT: SHORT TERM EXPOSURE:
irritation (possibly severe), blisters LONG TERM EXPOSURE: rash EYE
CONTACT: SHORT TERM EXPOSURE: burns, tearing, eye damage LONG TERM
EXPOSURE: same as effects reported in short term exposure
INGESTION: SHORT TERM EXPOSURE: same as effects reported in other
routes of exposure, burns, digestive disorders, dizziness, coma,
death LONG TERM EXPOSURE: tumors
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:

First Aid: INHALATION: If adverse effects occur, remove to
uncontaminated area. Give artificial respiration if not breathing.
If breathing is difficult, oxygen should be administered by
qualified personnel. Get immediate medical attention. SKIN CONTACT:
Wash skin with soap and water for at least 15 minutes while
removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Get immediate medical
attention. Thoroughly clean and dry contaminated clothing and shoes
before reuse. Destroy contaminated shoes. EYE CONTACT: Immediately
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 inhalation, consider oxygen. For ingestion,
consider gastric lavage and activated charcoal slurry.

Flash Point:-15 F (-26 C) (CC)
Autoignition Temp:428 F (220 C)
Lower Limits:2.8%
Upper Limits:31.0%
Extinguishing Media:regular dry chemical, carbon dioxide, water,
regular foam, alcohol resistant foam Large fires: Use regular foam
or flood with fine water spray.
Fire Fighting Procedures:Do not get water inside container. 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. Vapor/air mixtures
are explosive. The vapor is heavier than air. Vapors or gases may
ignite at distant ignition sources and flash back.

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. Store in a
cool, dry place. Store in a well-ventilated area. Avoid contact
with light. Store outside or in a detached building. Store with
flammable liquids. Monitor inhibitor content. Notify State
Emergency Response Commission for storage or use at amounts greater
than or equal to the TPQ (U.S. EPA SARA Section 302). SARA Section
303 requires facilities storing a material with a TPQ to
participate in local emergency response planning (U.S. EPA 40 CFR
355.30). May form explosive peroxides. Store in a tightly closed
container. Avoid contact with light. Store in a cool, dry place.
Monitor inhibitor content. Do not evaporate or distill to dryness.
Other Precautions:

Respiratory Protection:The following respirators and maximum use
concentrations are drawn from NIOSH and/or OSHA. 2 ppm Any
supplied-air respirator. Any powered, air-purifying respirator with
organic vapor cartridge(s). Any chemical cartridge respirator with
a full facepiece and organic vapor cartridge(s). Any air-purifying
respirator with a full facepiece and an organic vapor canister. Any
self-contained breathing apparatus with a full facepiece. Any
supplied-air respirator 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:Provide local exhaust or process enclosure ventilation
system. Ensure compliance with applicable exposure limits.
Protective Gloves:Wear appropriate chemical resistant gloves.
Eye Protection:Wear splash resistant safety goggles with a faceshield.
Provide an emergency eye wash fountain and quick drench shower in
the immediate work area.
Other Protective Equipment:Wear appropriate chemical resistant
clothing.
