EMERGENCY
OVERVIEW
Irritating to eyes. Contact with combustible material may
cause
fire.The toxicological properties of this material have not
been
fully investigated.
Potential Health
Effects
Eye:
Causes eye irritation.
Skin:
Causes skin irritation. If absorbed, causes symptoms
similar to
those of
ingestion.
Ingestion:
Causes gastrointestinal irritation with nausea, vomiting
and
diarrhea. May cause
methemoglobinemia, cyanosis, convulsions, and
death. The toxicological properties of this substance have not
been
fully investigated.
Methemoglobinemia is characterized by dizziness,
drowsiness, headache, breath shortness, cyanosis with bluish
skin,
rapid heart rate and
chocolate-brown colored blood.
Inhalation:
Causes respiratory
tract irritation. May cause effects similar to
those described for ingestion. The toxicological properties of
this
substance have not been fully
investigated.
Chronic:
No information found.
**** SECTION 4 - FIRST AID
MEASURES ****
Eyes:
Flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15
minutes,
occasionally lifting the
upper and lower eyelids. Get medical aid.

**** 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. Strong
oxidizer. Contact with combustible materials
may cause a fire. During a fire, irritating and highly toxic
gases
may be generated by thermal
decomposition or combustion. Use water
with caution and in flooding amounts.
Extinguishing Media:
Use water
spray to cool fire-exposed containers. Use water only!
Contact professional fire-fighters
immediately.
**** 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. Clean up spills immediately, observing precautions in
the

Avoid generating dusty conditions.
Remove all sources of ignition. Provide
ventilation.
**** SECTION 7 - HANDLING and STORAGE ****
Handling:
Wash thoroughly
after handling. Remove contaminated clothing and
wash before reuse. Use with adequate ventilation. Minimize
dust
generation and accumulation.
Material is heat, shock and/or friction
sensitive. Use care in handling and storage. Avoid contact
with
eyes, skin, and clothing.
Keep container tightly closed. Avoid
contact with clothing and other combustible materials.
Avoid
ingestion and inhalation.
Wash clothing before reuse.
Storage:
Keep away from heat,
sparks, and flame. Do not store near
combustible materials. Store in a tightly closed container. Store
in
a cool, dry, well-ventilated
area away from incompatible substances.
**** 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.
Personal Protective Equipment
Eyes:
Wear appropriate protective eyeglasses
or chemical
safety goggles as described by OSHA's eye and
face
protection regulations in 29 CFR 1910.133 or
European
Standard EN166.
Skin:
Wear appropriate protective gloves to
prevent skin
exposure.
Clothing:
Wear appropriate protective clothing to prevent
skin
exposure.
Respirators:
A respiratory protection program that meets OSHA's
29
CFR :1910.134 and ANSI Z88.2 requirements or
European
Standard EN 149 must be followed whenever
workplace
conditions warrant a respirator's use. Follow the
OSHA
respirator regulations found in 29CFR 1910.134
or
European Standard EN 149. Always use a NIOSH or
European
Standard EN 149 approved respirator when
necessary.
