CARBON DISULFIDE

CAS: 75-15-0

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: If swallowed,
drink plenty of water, do NOT induce vomiting. Get immediate
medical attention. Induce vomiting only at the instructions of a
physician. Do not give anything by mouth to unconscious or
convulsive person. ANTIDOTE: amyl nitrite, inhalation; sodium
nitrite, intravenous; pyridoxine, intravenous; urea, intravenous.
CAUTION! Get medical attention immediately.

Flash Point:-22 F (-30 C) (CC)
Autoignition Temp:194 F (90 C)
Lower Limits:1.0%
Upper Limits:50.0%
Extinguishing Media:alcohol resistant foam, carbon dioxide, regular dry
chemical, water 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. Dike for later disposal. Do not scatter spilled
material with high-pressure water streams. Cool containers with
water spray until well after the fire is out. Stay away from the
ends of tanks. 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. Severe explosion
hazard. The vapor is heavier than air. Vapors or gases may ignite
at distant ignition sources and flash back. Vapor/air mixtures are
explosive. Electrostatic discharges may be generated by flow or
agitation resulting in ignition or explosion.

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 outside or in a detached building. Avoid contact with
light. Store at room temperature. Use diking sufficient to contain
total contents plus 10%. Store under an inert atmosphere. Avoid
heat, flames, sparks and other sources of ignition. Grounding and
bonding required. Keep separated from incompatible substances.
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).

Ventilation:Ventilation equipment should be explosion-resistant if
explosive concentrations of material are present. 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.
