Component Information/Information on Non-Hazardous Components

 

Emergency Overview

Vapors may cause respiratory irritation, headache, nausea, fatigue, drowsiness, impaired co-ordination.

Label Information

Health Hazards (Acute and Chronic)

Acute: eye irritant and possible skin irritant.

Chronic: None known

Potential Health Effects:  Eyes

Liquid or vapor can cause moderate to severe irritation.

Potential Health Effects:  Skin

Not easily absorbed, solvent action can dry and defat the skin causing the skin to crack, leading to dermatitis.

Potential Health Effects:  Ingestion

Not a likely route of exposure. If swallowed, do not induce vomiting, seek immediate medical advice and/or attention.

Potential Health Effects:  Inhalation

Respiratory irritation, headache, nausea, fatigue, drowsiness, impaired co-ordination.

First Aid:  Eyes

Immediately flush eyes with water for at least 15 minutes, while holding eyelids open.  Seek medical attention at once.

First Aid:  Skin

Remove contaminated clothing/shoes. Flush skin with water. Wash with soap and water. If irritation occurs, get medical attention. Do not reuse clothing until cleaned.

First Aid:  Ingestion

Do not induce vomiting. If vomiting occurs spontaneously, keep head below hips to prevent aspiration of liquid into the lungs. Get medical attention.

First Aid:  Inhalation

Remove victim to fresh air and provide oxygen if breathing is difficult. Give artificial respiration if not breathing. Get medical attention.

First Aid:  Notes to Physician

Provide general supportive measures and treat symptomatically.

 

Flash Point:  -48 C	Method Used:
Upper Flammable Limit (UFL):  9.5	Lower Flammable Limit (LFL):  1.2
Auto Ignition:  N/D	Flammability Classification:  N/D
Rate of Burning:  N/D

General Fire Hazards

Closed containers may explode from internal pressure build-up when exposed to extreme heat and discharge contents. Vapor accumulation can flash or explode if ignited. Overexposure to decomposition products may cause a health hazard. Symptoms may not be readily apparent. Obtain medical attention.

Hazardous Combustion Products

 

Extinguishing Media

Use water fog, foam, carbon dioxide, dry chemical.

Fire Fighting Equipment/Instructions

Water spray may be ineffective. Water may be used to cool containers to prevent pressure build-up and explosion when exposed to extreme heat. If water is used, fog nozzles referred. Wear goggles and self-contained breathing apparatus.

 

NFPA Ratings: Health: 1 Fire: 4 Reactivity: 0

Hazard Scale:  0 = Minimal  1 = Slight  2 = Moderate  3 = Serious  4 = Severe

Containment Procedures

Caution-Combustible.

Large Spills: Eliminate potential sources of ignition. Wear appropriate respirator and other protective clothing. Shut off source of lead only if safe to do so. Dike and contain. Remove with vacuum trucks or pump to storage/salvage vessel.

Small Spills: Take up with absorbent material and place in non-leaking containers for proper disposal.

Clean-Up Procedures

Soak up residue with an absorbent such as clay sand or other suitables. Place in non-leaking containers and seal tightly for proper disposal. Flush area with water to remove trace residue. Dispose of flush solution.

Evacuation Procedures

Evacuate the area promptly and keep upwind of the spilled material. Isolate the spill area to prevent people from entering.

Special Procedures

Have emergency equipment readily available.

Handling Procedures

Do not spray in eyes. Do not take internally. See product label for additional information.

Storage Procedures

Store and use in cool, dry, well-ventilated areas. Do not store above 120 F. Do not  stick pin, nail or any other sharp object into opening on top of can. Keep liquid and vapor away from heat, sparks and flame. Extinguish pilot lights, cigarettes and turn off all sources of ignition distant from the handling site, flash-fire can result. Do not cut, drill, grind, weld or perform similar operations on or near containers.

PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT

Personal Protective Equipment:  Eyes/Face

Avoid contact with eyes. Wear safety glasses or goggles as appropriate

Personal Protective Equipment:  Skin

Avoid prolonged contact with skin. Wear chemical-resistant gloves (nitrile) and other clothing as required to minimize contact.

Personal Protective Equipment:  Respiratory

Avoid prolonged or repeated breathing of vapors. If exposure may or does exceed occupations exposure limits use a NIOSH-approved respirator to prevent overexposure. In accordance with 29 CFR 1910.132 use either an atmosphere-supplying respirator or an air-purifying respirator for organic vapors.

Personal Protective Equipment:  General

Respirators should be selected by and used under the direction of a trained health and safety professional following requirements found in OSHA's respirator standard (29 CFR 1910.134) and ANSI's standard for respiratory protection (Z88.2-1992). A written respiratory protection program, including provisions for medical certification, training, fit testing, exposure assessments, maintenance, inspection, cleaning, and convenient, sanitary storage must be implemented.
