Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards
Flammable liquid. Vapors ignite or explode if they are allowed to accumulate
in areas where an ignition source could be present. Closed containers may
explode if exposed to extreme heat, such as occurs in a fire.
May float on water while burning.
Do nor store or mix with strong oxidants.
FIRE AND EXPLOSION DATA -CONTINUED
Special Fire Fighting Procedures
Water may be ineffective. If water is used, for nozzles are preferable. Water
may be used to cool exposed containers, but care should be taken not to spread
any burning liquid. MESA/NIOSH approved self-contained breathing apparatus
should be worn when fighting indoor fires, and should be available when fighting
outdoor fires.
Self contained breathing apparatus should be worn by firefighters or others
exposed to the vapors from this product in a fire situation (for instance
if the container ruptures from severe heat exposure).
Use protective clothing to prevent contact with ingredients listed in Section
2. HEALTH HAZARD DATA
Threshold limit value-see Section 2
Effects of overexposure
**The P O T E N T I A L Health hazards identified below will not express themselves
if exposure is eliminated. This product will not present an actual health
risk in the workplace if it is handled in accordance with good industrial
hygiene practices and in accord with this MSDS.
As with all chemical products, skin, eye, or respiratory irritation could
occur under certain conditions. Individuals with pre-existing skin or respiratory
disorders may be more susceptible to these effects.
Due to solvent content, breathing of vapors may cause headache, nausea, dizziness,
vomiting, and in extreme cases, unconsciousness. Liquid may cause defatting
of skin and dermatitis. The likelihood of these effects occurring is partially
dependent upon the amount of solvent in the product, as indicated in
Section
2.
May cause severe eye irritation.
Contact with skin may result in destruction of tissue, burning sensation,
and/or reddening of affected areas.
Prolonged or excessive exposure to vapor or mist may result in toxic effects.
Possibility of liver and/or kidney damage from overexposure.
May be toxic if swallowed.
Emergency and First Aid Procedures
Skin Contact
Wash with soapy water, rinse thoroughly. Consult a physician if irritation
persists.
Remove contaminated clothing. Flush with water. Discard shoes if contaminated.
Eye Contact
Flush with lots of clean water for at least 15 minutes. Consult a physician.
Inhalation
Remove victim to fresh air. Give mouth to mouth breathing if person has stopped
breathing. Get medical attention.
HEALTH HAZARD DATA-CONTINUED
Ingestion
Seek medical advice. Do not induce vomiting unless directed to do so by doctor
or poison control center.
REACTIVITY DATA
Stability: Stable
Incompatibility
Strong oxidizing or reducing agents.
Liquid chlorine and concentrated oxygen.
Strong acids or bases, selected amines.
Water, acids alkalis and strong oxidizing agents.
Hazardous Decomposition Products
Combustion may yield carbon monoxide and/or carbon dioxide.
Oxides of nitrogen (Thermal Decomp).
Traces of hydrogen cyanide.
Hazardous Polymerization: Will not occur
Conditions to Avoid: Materials listed under “incompatibility”
on the MSDS.
SPILL OR LEAK PROCEDURES
Steps to be Taken in Case Material is Released or Spilled
Small spills may be absorbed on appropriate absorbent, such as vermiculite,
clay-based absorbents, etc. Large spills should be handled be stopping the
flow of the liquid at its source, preventing further spread of the spill (as
by diking), and transferring the liquid and any spill clean-up debris to proper
containers.
When handling spill incidents, eliminate all potential ignition sources, such
as flares, flames, pilot lights, smoking , sparking motors. etc. If the spill
is indoors or in a confined area, ventilate the area (such as by opening windows
and doors), but do not use spark-producing equipment, such as non-explosion-proof
fans. Use non-sparking tools for cleanup. Take all other precautions appropriate
to handling a spill of a material that contains flammable or combustible liquids.
Keep out of public sewers, streams, and rivers.
It may be necessary to wear self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective
clothing to enter spill area, evaluate percentage of hazardous ingredients
in Section 2, and nature of spill, to make a determination.
Waste Disposal
Dispose of in accordance with local, state, and federal laws and regulations.
Any hazardous ingredients listed in Section 2 must be taken into consideration,
but since these are
SPILL OR LEAK PROCEDURES-CONTINUED
isted for safety purposes, there may be other ingredients or properties of
this product that must be considered. Contact the supplier if more information
is needed.
Contains flammable or combustible solvents. Incineration or solvent recovery
may be considered as possible waste handling methods. Dispose only in accordance
with federal, state, and local regulations. If flash point listed in section
4 is 140 degrees or less, this product if discarded directly, would be a hazardous
waste based upon the characteristic of ignitability, and perhaps due to the
presence of certain solvents listed under EPA waste #’s F003 and F005.
User Responsibility for Spills and Wastes.
The user of this product who generates a waste containing this product is
solely responsible for that waste.
SPECIAL PROTECTION INFORMATION
Respiratory Protection
In restricted ventilation areas use NIOSH-approved chemical cartridge respirators
for vapors, or combination chemical cartridge and spray mist filters for mists
from spraying. In confined areas or in cases of very high concentrations,
as from spills indoors, use NIOSH-approved air-supplied or self-contained
breathing apparatus. The hazardous ingredients listed in Section 2 should
be considered in choosing the proper respiratory protection. For solvents,
organic vapor cartridges are generally appropriate.
Ventilation
Provide general dilution ventilation or local exhaust as needed to keep vapor
concentrations or the ingredients listed in Section 2 to below their TLV’s.
Local exhaust is essential for spraying operations. If effects of overexposure
listed in Section 5 are evident, ventilation may be inadequate.
Contains flammable solvents. Exhaust systems should incorporate spark-proof
blowers, fan blades, etc.
Protective Gloves
Use of solvent resistant gloves is strongly recommended.
The substances listed in Section 2 must be taken into consideration when selection
gloves.
Eye Protection
Splash-proof chemical goggles, or equivalent eye protection.
Other Protective Equipment
It is recommended that a safety shower and eye wash be available wherever
this product is handled or used.
SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS
Handling and Storage Precautions
Normal good housekeeping and good industrial hygiene procedures should be
adhered to. Unnecessary, excessive, and/or prolonged personal contact should
be avoided. Use only with adequate ventilation.
Keep form heat, sparks, open flames, hot metal surfaces, and other ignition
sources. Prohibit smoking in areas where this product is handled. Handle only
with equipment appropriate for handling flammable liquids. Apply product in
properly exhausted equipment only.
Remove contaminated clothing. Wash before reuse.
Other Precautions or Notes
For industrial use only.
Hazardous product residue may remain after the product has been removed from
its container. Do not reuse “empty” container without commercial
cleaning or reconditioning.
