Potential Health Effects
----------------------------------
Inhalation:
Effects are typically those of most hydrocarbons, dizziness and euphoria
leading to unconsciousness in severe cases. Vapors also irritate the
respiratory tract. Symptoms may include coughing, difficult breathing and chest
pain. A central nervous system depressant.
Ingestion:
Fatal dose for humans estimated at 3-4 oz, but ingestion of much smaller
amounts may cause lung edema and possible death because of aspiration into
lungs.
Skin Contact:
The defatting action of this solvent may lead to soreness, inflammation and,
possibly, dermatitis.
Eye Contact:
Vapors may be irritating at concentrations of 450 ppm and above (15 minutes
exposure) and contact with the liquid solvent can be painful and possibly
damaging to eye tissues.
Chronic Exposure:
Chronic exposure may lead to central nervous system complications, blood
changes (aplastic anemia, a rare occurrence that is potentially fatal), and
dermatitis. Animal studies have indicated the potential for liver and kidney
damage.
Aggravation of Pre-existing Conditions:
Persons with pre-existing skin disorders or eye problems or impaired kidney
function may be more susceptible to the effects of the substance.
4. First Aid Measures
Inhalation:
Remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If
breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical attention.
Ingestion:
Aspiration hazard. If swallowed, vomiting may occur spontaneously, but DO NOT INDUCE. If vomiting occurs, keep head below hips to prevent
aspiration into lungs. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
Call a physician immediately.
Skin Contact:
Immediately flush skin with plenty of soap and water for at least 15 minutes.
Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Get medical attention. Wash clothing
before reuse. Thoroughly clean shoes before reuse.
Eye Contact:
Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, lifting
lower and upper eyelids occasionally. Get medical attention immediately.
5. Fire Fighting
Measures
Fire:
Flash point: 38C (100F) CC Autoignition temperature: 232 - 260C (450 - 500F)
Flammable limits in air % by volume: lel: 0.8; uel: ca. 6 Flammable. This
liquid is near its lower flammability limit at room temperature. Flash point may
range between 38-40 C. Contact with strong oxidizers may cause fire.
Explosion:
Above flash point, vapor-air mixtures are explosive within flammable limits
noted above. Sealed containers may rupture when heated. Sensitive
to static discharge.
Fire Extinguishing Media:
Water spray, dry chemical, alcohol foam, or carbon dioxide. Direct stream of
water can scatter and spread flames.
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. Water spray may be used to keep fire
exposed containers cool.
6. 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! If a leak or spill has not
ignited, use water spray to disperse the vapors, to protect personnel
attempting to stop leak, and to flush spills away from exposures. J. T. Baker
SOLUSORB(tm) solvent adsorbent is recommended for spills of this product.
7. Handling and Storage
Protect against physical damage.
Store in a cool, dry well-ventilated location, away from any area where the
fire hazard may be acute. Outside or detached storage is preferred. Separate
from incompatibles. Containers should be bonded and grounded for transfers to
avoid static sparks. Storage and use areas should be No Smoking areas. Use
non-sparking type tools and equipment, including explosion proof ventilation.
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. Do Not attempt to clean empty
containers since residue is difficult to remove. Do not pressurize, cut, weld,
braze, solder, drill, grind or expose such containers to heat, sparks, flame,
static electricity or other sources of ignition: they may explode and cause
injury or death.
8. Exposure
Controls/Personal Protection
Airborne Exposure Limits:
-OSHA Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL): 500 ppm (TWA) -ACGIH Threshold Limit
Value (TLV): 100 ppm (TWA)
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. Use
explosion-proof equipment.
Personal Respirators (NIOSH Approved):
If the exposure limit is exceeded, a half-face organic vapor respirator 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 organic vapor respirator 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.
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.
Skin Protection:
Rubber or neoprene gloves and additional protection including impervious boots,
apron, or coveralls, as needed in areas of unusual exposure.
Eye Protection:
Use chemical safety goggles and/or a full face shield where splashing is
possible. Maintain eye wash fountain and quick-drench facilities in work area.
