CAS: 59502-05-5

Fraction By Weight: 100.0%

Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:No IARC:Yes OSHA:No
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:INHALATION: SHORT TERM EXPOSURE:
burns, tearing, difficulty breathing, dizziness, bluish skin color,
lung congestion, death LONG TERM EXPOSURE: itching, headache SKIN
CONTACT: SHORT TERM EXPOSURE: irritation (possibly severe) LONG
TERM EXPOSURE: same as effects reported in short term exposure EYE
CONTACT: SHORT TERM EXPOSURE: irritation (possibly severe),
tearing, eye damage LONG TERM EXPOSURE: same as effects reported in
short term exposure INGESTION: SHORT TERM EXPOSURE: burns, nausea,
vomiting, diarrhea, stomach pain, symptoms of drunkenness, kidney
damage, liver damage LONG TERM EXPOSURE: same as effects reported
in short term exposure
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: If swallowed, drink plenty
of water, do NOT induce vomiting. Get immediate medical attention.
NOTE TO PHYSICIAN: For inhalation, consider oxygen. For
ingestion, consider gastric lavage.

Flash Point:163 F (73 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. Water may
be used to blanket fire.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:Moderate 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 above
flash point.

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. Protect from physical
damage. Store in a cool, dry place. Store in a well-ventilated
area. Avoid heat, flames, sparks and other sources of ignition.
Store outside or in a detached building. Keep separated from
incompatible substances. 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. 10 ppm Any
chemical cartridge respirator with organic vapor and acid gas
cartridge(s). Any air-purifying respirator with a full facepiece,
an organic vapor and acid gas canister. Any powered, air-purifying
respirator with organic vapor and acid gas cartridge(s). Any
supplied-air respirator. Any self-contained breathing apparatus
with a full facepiece. Escape - Any air-purifying respirator with a
full facepiece, an organic vapor and acid gas 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.
