EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
| |
Irritating to eyes, respiratory system and skin. Very toxic to
aquatic organisms, may cause long-term adverse effects in the aquatic
environment.
|
|
Potential Health Effects |
|
Eye: |
Causes eye irritation.
| |
Skin: |
Causes skin irritation. May be harmful if absorbed through the skin.
| |
Ingestion: |
May cause irritation of the digestive tract. Ingestion of large
amounts may cause gastrointestinal irritation. May cause nausea and
vomiting. May be harmful if swallowed.
| |
Inhalation: |
Causes respiratory tract irritation. May cause drowsiness,
unconsciousness, and central nervous system depression. May be
harmful if inhaled.
| |

|
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. This material in sufficient quantity and reduced
particle size is capable of creating a dust explosion.
| |
Extinguishing Media: |
Do NOT use water directly on fire. Use water spray, dry chemical,
carbon dioxide, or chemical foam.
|
|
Section 6 - Accidental Release Measures |
|
General Information: |
Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated in Section 8.
| |
Spills/Leaks: |
Vacuum or sweep up material and place into a suitable disposal
container. Avoid generating dusty conditions. Do not let this
chemical enter the environment.
|
|
Section 7 - Handling and Storage |
|
Handling: |
Minimize dust generation and accumulation. Avoid breathing dust,
vapor, mist, or gas. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Take
precautionary measures against static discharges. Avoid ingestion and
inhalation.
| |
Storage: |
Store in a cool, dry place. Store in a tightly closed container.
Keep from contact with oxidizing materials.
|
|
Section 8 - Exposure Controls, Personal Protection |
|
Engineering Controls:
| |
Facilities storing or utilizing this material should be equipped
with an eyewash facility and a safety shower. Use adequate
ventilation to keep airborne concentrations low.
|
|
Exposure Limits |
| CAS# 119-61-9: |
| Personal Protective Equipment
| |
Eyes: |
Wear chemical splash goggles.
| |
Skin: |

exposure.
| |
Clothing: |
Wear appropriate protective clothing to prevent skin
exposure.
| |
Respirators: |
Follow the OSHA respirator regulations found in 29
CFR 1910.134 or European Standard EN 149. Use a
NIOSH/MSHA or European Standard EN 149 approved
respirator if exposure limits are exceeded or if
irritation or other symptoms are experienced.
