Section 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION ? EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Harmful by inhalation and if swallowed.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
May cause eye irritation.
Skin:
May cause skin irritation. Can be addictive.
Ingestion:
Harmful if swallowed. May cause central nervous system depression, characterized by excitement, followed by headache, dizziness, drowsiness, and nausea. Advanced stages may cause collapse, unconsciousness, coma and possible death due to respiratory failure.
Inhalation:
Inhalation of high concentrations may cause central nervous system effects characterized by nausea, headache, dizziness, unconsciousness and coma. May cause respiratory tract irritation.
Chronic:
Chronic inhalation and ingestion may cause effects similar to those of acute inhalation and ingestion. Can be addictive.
Section 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES ? Eyes: Flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Get medical aid.
Skin:
Get medical aid. Flush skin with plenty of soap and water.
Ingestion:
Call a poison control center. If swallowed, do not induce vomiting unless directed to do so by medical personnel. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical aid.
Inhalation:
If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical aid.
Notes to Physician:
Antidote: None reported.
Section 5 - FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES ? General Information:
As in any fire, wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and full protective gear.
Extinguishing Media:
Substance is noncombustible; use agent most appropriate to extinguish surrounding fire.
Section 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES ? General Information: Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated in Section 8.
Spills/Leaks:
Clean up spills immediately, observing precautions in the Protective Equipment section. Sweep up or absorb material, then place into a suitable clean, dry, closed container for disposal. Avoid generating dusty conditions. Provide ventilation.
Section 7 - HANDLING and STORAGE ? Handling:
Wash thoroughly after handling. Wash hands before eating. Remove contaminated clothing and wash before reuse. Use with adequate ventilation. Minimize dust generation and accumulation. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Do not ingest or inhale.
Storage:
Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible substances. Keep containers tightly closed.
Section 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS, PERSONAL PROTECTION ? Engineering Controls:
Use adequate ventilation to keep airborne concentrations low.
Exposure Limits CAS# 144-02-5: Personal Protective Equipment Eyes: Wear appropriate protective eyeglasses or chemical safety goggles as described by OSHA's eye and face protection regulations in 29 CFR 1910.133 or European Standard EN166.
Skin:
Wear appropriate protective gloves to prevent skin exposure.
Clothing:
Wear appropriate protective clothing to prevent skin exposure.
Respirators:
A respiratory protection program that meets OSHA's 29 CFR 1910.134 and ANSI Z88.2 requirements or European Standard EN 149 must be followed whenever workplace conditions warrant respirator use.
