First Aid Measures

Ingestion
If swallowed, wash out mouth with water provided person is conscious. Call a physician.
Ingestion
Seek medical assistance.
Inhalation
Move victim to fresh air. Apply artificial respiration if victim is not breathing. Administer oxygen if breathing is difficult.
Inhalation
Causes irritation.
Inhalation
If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen.
Skin
In case of contact, immediately wash skin with soap and copious amounts of water.
Skin
Remove and isolate contaminated clothing and shoes. Remove material from skin immediately. Immediately flush with running water for at least 20 minutes.
Skin
May cause severe injury or burns.
Eyes
Immediately flush with running water for at least 20 minutes.
Eyes
In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with copious amounts of water for at least 15 minutes.
Eyes
See Skin.

Handling and Storage

Storage
Keep in a cool, dry, dark location in a tightly sealed container or cylinder. Keep away from incompatible materials, ignition sources and untrained individuals. Secure and label area. Protect containers/cylinders from physical damage.
Storage
Keep tightly closed. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame. Store in a cool dry place.
Handling
All chemicals should be considered hazardous. Avoid direct physical contact. Use appropriate, approved safety equipment. Untrained individuals should not handle this chemical or its container. Handling should occur in a chemical fume hood.

Hazards Identification

Ingestion
See Skin.
Inhalation
Vapors may cause dizziness or suffocation. May cause irritation or burns.
Skin
Causes skin irritation. Multiple Routes: May be harmful by inhalation, ingestion, or skin absorption. Vapor or mist is irritating to the eyes, mucous membranes, and upper respiratory tract.
Eyes
See Skin.
Hazards
Flammable liquid. Vapor may travel considerable distance to source of ignition and flash back. Emits toxic fumes under fire conditions.
Hazards
May explode from heat, shock, friction or contamination. May ignite combustibles (wood, paper, oil, clothing, etc.).

Exposure Controls/Personal Protection

Personal Protection
Wear appropriate government approved respirator, chemical-resistant gloves, safety goggles, other protective
Personal Protection
Wear appropriate protective gloves, clothing and goggles.
Respirators
Wear positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA).
Exposure Effects
Flammable. Irritant. Irritating to eyes, respiratory system and skin.
Poison Class
4

Fire Fighting Measures

Flash Point
22
Fire Fighting
Extinguish using Water spray. Carbon dioxide, dry chemical powder, or appropriate foam. Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and protective clothing to prevent contact with skin and eyes.
Fire Fighting
Small Fires: Water spray or fog is preferred; if water not available use dry chemical, carbon dioxide or regular foam. Large Fires: Flood fire area with water from a distance. Use water spray or fog; do not use straight streams.
Upper exp. limit

Fire Potential
HIGHLY FLAMMABLE: Will be easily ignited by heat, sparks or flames.
Fire Potential
May be ignited by heat, sparks or flames. May burn rapidly with flare-burning effect.

Accidental Release Measures

Small spills/leaks
Cover with dry-lime, sand, or soda ash. Place in covered containers using non-sparking tools and transport outdoors. Ventilate area and wash spill site after material pickup is complete.
Small spills/leaks
ELIMINATE all ignition sources and combustible materials. Do not touch spilled material unless wearing appropriate protective clothing. Keep substance wet using water spray. Stop leak if you can do it without risk. Take up with inert, damp, noncombustible material using clean non-sparking tools and place into loosely covered plastic containers for later disposal. For large spills, contact specialist for clean-up or disposal instructions.

Stability and Reactivity

Stability
No data.
Incompatibilities
Strong oxidizing agents.
Decomposition
