SECTION FOUR - FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD DATA


FLASH POINT: <0°F        FLAMMABLE LIMITS:   UEL  36      LEL  1.0                                                                                                       
EXTINGUISHING MEDIUM:  Dry chemical, alcohol foam or CO2                                                        
SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES:  Wear self-contained breathing apparatus when fighting fires containing or around this product.  Shut off all sources of ignition, if possible.  Keep exposed containers cool with water spray to prevent rupture.  Evacuate all non-trained personnel.  wear full protective clothing, including helmet.  Ventilate area.  contain spill and dike, if possible.  For leaks or spills that have not ignited, water spray can be used to disperse the flammable vapor and protect personnel attempting to stop the leak.  Do not use direct stream of water because product will float and can be reignited on surface of water.
UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS:  Firefighters should wear SCBA's in a positive pressure mode with full face shield.  Vapors are heavier than air and may travel long distances and accumulate in low areas or spread along ground away from handling site.  Eliminate all sources of ignition as vapor may ignite.  Carbon oxides may be formed.                             

 

SECTION FIVE  - REACTIVITY DATA


STABILITY:   Stable, avoid open flames and high temperature (above 120°F) and direct sunlight.       
INCOMPATIBILITY:   Strong oxidizers, selected amines, strong acids or bases.

HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS:  Carbon oxides can form on incomplete combustion.                        
HAZARDOUS POLYMERIZATION:  Will not occur.                                                 

 

SECTION SIX - HEALTH HAZARD DATA

 
EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE
EYE CONTACT:  Liquids and mists can severely irritate or damage the eyes and cause corneal burns.  Vapors may cause eye irritation: Symptoms can include redness, swelling, pain, tearing, hazy vision, and possibly even blindness.                                                                                                 
SKIN CONTACT:  After prolonged or repeated contact symptoms can include redness, swelling, blistering, itching, and dryness.  may be absorbed through the skin in harmful amounts.                            
SKIN ABSORPTION:  May be absorbed if prolonged and repeated contact occurs.                            
INGESTION:  Not likely as an aerosol but, if swallowed, it can be harmful or fatal.  Irritation of gastrointestinal tissues:  symptoms can include pain, vomiting, abdominal tenderness, nausea, blood in vomitus, and blood in feces.  Blood disorders:  Symptoms can include a general feeling of unhealthiness, weakness, and fatigue. Heart effects:  Can include arrhythmia, heart attack, and death.  Kidney damage:  Symptoms can include reduced urine volume, loss of appetite, weight gain, red urine, back pain, painful urination, and lethargy.  Central nervous system effects:  Symptoms can include emotional changes, lack of coordination, delirium, tremors, sensory loss and coma.  Aspiration pneumonitis:  Symptoms can include coughing, difficulty breathing, wheezing, pneumonia, and coughing up blood.  Liver damage:  Symptoms can include yellow skin, tenderness of abdomen, abdominal distension, lethargy, fever, and death.  Cannot be made non poisonous.
INHALATION:  May be harmful or fatal if inhaled.  Blood disorders:  Symptoms include a general feeling of unhealthiness, weakness and fatigue.  Clotting disorders (increased blood clotting time):  Symptoms can include bruising easily and bleeding which takes a long period to stop.  Gastorintestinal disturbance:   Symptoms can include nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea.  Cardiac sensitization:  Sudden heart stoppage due to a reflex effect on the nerves which control the heart.  This effect usually occurs only after inhalation of concentrated vapors such as intentional abusive sniffing of certain solvents and propellants.  Heart effects:  Symptoms can include arrhythmia, heart attack, and death.  Nervous systems effects:  Symptoms can include emotional changes, lack of coordination, delirium, tremors, sensory loss, and coma.  Peripheral neuropathy: symptoms can include tingling of extremities, incoordination, sensory losses, weakness, tremors, and emotional changes.  Chemical pneumonitis:  Inhalation of liquid or vapors can result in symptoms of coughing, difficulty breathing, wheezing, pneumonia, and coughing up blood.  Respiratory system irritation:  Symptoms can include coughing, congestion, irritation of throat, tightness of chest, wheezing, and difficulty breathing.  Lung damage:  Symptoms can include coughing, difficulty breathing, wheezing tightness in chest, congestion, and coughing up blood.  Pulmonary edema:  Symptoms can include coughing, difficulty breathing, fluid in lungs, unconsciousness, and even death.
SYSTEMIC AND OTHER EFFECTS:  Human health effects of overexposure by inhalation, ingestion, or skin or eye contact may include nonspecific discomfort such as nausea, headache, or weakness.  Temporary nervous system depression with anesthetic effects such as dizziness, headache, confusion, incoordination, and loss of consciousness or blindness. Reproductive/Developmental Toxins:  Toluene is not classifiable as to its ability to cause reproductive health effects in humans.  Mutagenicity:  Toluene, a component of this product, can cause irreversible changes in the genetic material of a cell based on results of tests in workers exposed to "high" concentrations.

 

SECTION SIX - HEALTH HAZARD DATA

 

EMERGENCY AND FIRST AID PROCEDURES
EYE CONTACT:  In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with large amounts of water.  If irritation or other symptoms persist, call a physician.
SKIN CONTACT:  In case of contact, immediately flush skin with large amounts of water.  Remove contaminated clothing.  If irritation is severe, call a physician immediately.  Wash clothing before reuse.  Destroy or properly dispose of contaminated shoes.
INHALATION:  If inhaled, move person to non-contaminated air.  If breathing has stopped, give artificial respiraton.  If breathing is difficult, give oxygen.  Call a physician immediately if symptoms persist.

SECTION SIX - HEALTH HAZARD DATA (continued)

 

INGESTION:  Ingestion is not likely as an aerosol but, if ingested, do not induce vomiting.  Give one to two glasses of water.  Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.  Call a physician immediately.  Gastric lavage should be only considered by medical personnel following intubation with a cuffed endotracheal tube.                                            

 

SECTION SEVEN - ENVIRONMENTAL AND DISPOSAL INFORMATION


ACTION TO TAKE FOR SPILLS/LEAKS:  Ventilate area,-especially low places where heavy vapors might collect.  extinguish all ignition sources.  Contain spill.  Cover with inorganic absorbent material.  Collect spilled material.  Clean up residue.  Place in an approved  DOT  container for disposal.  Refer to other sections of this MSDS for information regarding physical and health hazards, respiratory protection, ventilation, and personnel protective equipment.
