Aggravation of Pre-existing Conditions:
Kidney disorders.
IV - FIRST AID MEASURES
Inhalation:
Remove to fresh air. Not expected to require first aid measures.
Ingestion:
Not expected to require first aid measures. Give several glasses of water to drink to dilute. If large amounts were
swallowed, get medical advice.
Skin Contact:
Remove any contaminated clothing. Wash skin with soap and water for at least 15 minutes. Get medical attention if
irritation develops or persists.
Eye Contact:
In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, lifting upper and lower eyelids
occasionally. Call a physician if irritation persists.
Note to Physician:
In case of ingestion, monitor for acidosis and central nervous system changes. Exposed persons with previous kidney
dysfunction may require special treatment.
V - FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Fire:
Flash point: 99C (210F) CC
Autoignition temperature: 371C (700F)
Flammable limits in air % by volume:
lel: 2.6; uel: 12.5
Material can support combustion.
Explosion:
Containers may explode in heat or fire.
Fire Extinguishing Media:
Dry chemical, foam, water or carbon dioxide.
Special Information:
In the event of a fire, wear full protective clothing and NIOSH-approved self-contained breathing apparatus with full
facepiece operated in the pressure demand or other positive pressure mode. Move exposed containers from fire area, if it
can be done without risk. Use water to keep fire-exposed containers cool.
VI - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Ventilate area of leak or spill. Remove all sources of ignition. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment as specified
in Section 8. Isolate hazard area. Keep unnecessary and unprotected personnel from entering. Contain and recover liquid
when possible. Use non-sparking tools and equipment. Collect liquid in an appropriate container or absorb with an inert
material (e. g., vermiculite, dry sand, earth), and place in a chemical waste container. Do not use combustible materials,
such as saw dust. Do not flush to sewer!
VII - HANDLING AND STORAGE
Protect container from physical damage. Store in a cool, dry, ventilated area away from sources of heat, moisture, and
incompatible substances. Containers of this material may be hazardous when empty since they retain product residues
(vapors, liquid); observe all warnings and precautions listed for the product.
VIII - EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
Airborne Exposure Limits:
AIHA Workplace Environmental Exposure Level (WEEL): Vapor and Aerosol = 50ppm; Aerosol, only = 10mg/m3.
Ventilation System:
A system of local and/or general exhaust is recommended to keep employee exposures below the Airborne Exposure
Limits. Local exhaust ventilation is generally preferred because it can control the emissions of the contaminant at its
source, preventing dispersion of it into the general work area. Please refer to the ACGIH document, Industrial Ventilation,
A Manual of Recommended Practices, most recent edition, for details.
Personal Respirators (NIOSH Approved):
If the exposure limit is exceeded, a half-face respirator with an organic vapor cartridge and particulate filter (NIOSH type
P95 or R95 filter) may be worn for up to ten times the exposure limit or the maximum use concentration specified by the
appropriate regulatory agency or respirator supplier, whichever is lowest. A full-face piece respirator with an organic vapor
cartridge and particulate filter (NIOSH P100 or R100 filter) may be worn up to 50 times the exposure limit, or the
maximum use concentration specified by the appropriate regulatory agency or respirator supplier, whichever is lowest.
Please note that N series filters are not recommended for this material. For emergencies or instances where the exposure
levels are not known, use a full-face piece positive-pressure, air-supplied respirator. WARNING: Air-purifying respirators
do not protect workers in oxygen-deficient atmospheres.
