First Aid Measures

Ingestion
Do NOT induce vomiting. If conscious and alert, rinse mouth and drink 2-4 cupfuls of milk or water.
Inhalation
Remove from exposure to fresh air immediately. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical aid.
Skin
Get medical aid immediately. Immediately flush skin with plenty of soap and water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes.
Eyes
Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Get medical aid immediately.

Handling and Storage

Storage
Keep away from sources of ignition. Store in a cool place in the original container and protect from sunlight. Keep refrigerated. (Store below 4C.) Store in a tightly closed container. Store protected from moisture. Store protected from light.
Handling
Wash thoroughly after handling. Wash hands before eating. Remove contaminated clothing and wash before reuse. Use only in a well-ventilated area. Do not get on skin or in eyes. Avoid ingestion and inhalation. Store protected from light. Do not allow contact with water. Container should be opened by a technically qualified person. Keep from contact with moist air and steam.

Hazards Identification

Skin
May cause skin sensitization, an allergic reaction, which becomes evident upon re-exposure to this material. Toxic in contact with skin.
Eyes
May cause eye irritation.
Ingestion
Harmful if swallowed. Causes gastrointestinal tract burns.

Exposure Controls/Personal Protection

Personal Protection
Skin: Wear appropriate protective gloves to prevent skin exposure. Clothing: Wear appropriate protective clothing to prevent skin exposure.
Respirators
Follow the OSHA respirator regulations found in 29CFR 1910.134 or European Standard EN 149. Always use a NIOSH or European Standard EN 149 approved respirator when necessary.
Exposure Effects
May cause reproductive and fetal effects may be caused by chronic exposure.
Poison Class
4

Fire Fighting Measures

Flash Point
98
Fire Fighting
Wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and full protective gear. To extinguish fire use water spray, dry chemical, carbon dioxide, or chemical foam.
Upper exp. limit
12.9
Lower exp. limit
1.8

Accidental Release Measures

Small spills/leaks
Absorb spill with inert material, (e.g., dry sand or earth), then place into a chemical waste container.

Stability and Reactivity

Incompatibilities
Oxidizing agents, reducing agents, acids, bases, aluminum, copper, copper alloys, peroxides, steel, metal oxides.
Stability
table only if stored and handled under recommended conditions. The stability of the product depends upon the availability of both dissolved oxygen and MEHQ inhibitor (CAS=150-76-5). The presence of oxygen is necessary for the MEHQ to function effectively. The product should never be stored under an inert gas atmosphere, but should always be stored under an atmosphere containing 5-21% oxygen by volume.
Decomposition
Carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide.
