Section 3: Hazard Identification
Emergency overview
Appearance: Color viscous liquid.
Immediate effects: Irritation.
Potential health effects
Primary Routes of entry: Inhalation, skin and ingestion.
Signs and Symptoms of Overexposure: Central nervous system depression.
Eyes: May cause irritation.
Skin: May cause irritation.
Ingestion: May cause irritation of the digest tract.
Inhalation: May cause irritation of the nose and throat.
Chronic Exposure: Ingestion or inhalation of excessive quantities may cause nervous system depression (e.g., drowsiness, dizziness, kiss of coordination, and fatigue). Direct contact with this material or exposure to the vapors or mists (greater than approximately 1000 ppm) may cause burning, tearing, redness, or swelling to the eyes and dry and cracking of the skin and dermatitis.
Chemical Listed As Carcinogen Or Potential Carcinogen: No ingredient present in this product is identified as a carcinogen or probable carcinogen by NTP, IARC, or OSHA.
See Toxicological Information (Section11)
Potential environmental effects
See Ecological Information (Section 12)
Section 4: First Aid Measures
If accidental overexposure is suspected
Eye(s) Contact: Immediately flush eyes and obtain medical assistance if symptoms persist.
Skin Contact: Wash with soap and plenty of water.
Inhalation: Remove from exposure and treat symptomatically. Get medical
attention if symptoms persist.
Ingestion: Call a physician or poison control center immediately. Induce vomiting as directed by medical personnel. Never give anything to by mouth to an unconscious person.
Note to physician
Treatment: ND
Medical Conditions generally Aggravated by Exposure: Respiratory symptoms associated with pre-existing lung disorders (e.g., asthma-like conditions) may be aggravated by exposure to the vapors of this material. Persons with pre-existing skin disorder may be more susceptible to the effects of this material.
Section 5: Fire Fighting Measures
Flash Point: 24 °F
Flammable Limits: Lower: 0.5 Upper: 12
Auto-ignition point: ND
Fire Extinguishing Media: Water is the most effective fire extinguishing medium
for Nitrocellulose. Dry chemical, Carbon dioxide or universal type foam could
be used to extinguish small fires.
Special Fire Fighting Procedures: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and
protective clothing to prevent contact with skin and eyes. Use water spray to
keep fire-exposed containers cool.
Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: Vapors form an explosive mixture in air
between and the upper and lower explosive limits which can be ignited by many
ignition sources.
Hazardous combustion products: Toxic fumes; carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, and nitrogen oxide
DOT Class: Flammable liquid.
Section 6: Accidental Release Measures
Steps to be taken in Case Material is Released or Spilled: Stay upwind and away
from spill. Keep all sources of ignition and hot metal surfaces away from
spill. Keep out of drains, sewers, or waterways. Use sand or other inert
material to dam and contain spill. Do no flush with water; use absorbent pads.
Large Spills: Call response team and notify appropriate local/state agencies.
Waste Disposal Methods: Dispose of waste according to Federal, State and Local
Regulations.
Section 7: Handling and Storage
Precautions to be Taken in Handling and Storage: Use non-sparking tools when
handling this material. Keep containers tightly closed and store in a cool, dry
area away from ignition sources.
Storage temperature: NE
Storage Pressure: NE
Section 8: Exposure Controls / Personal Protection
Engineering Controls
Ventilation required: System should be designed to be able to maintain airborne concentrations below the established exposure limits. If the current ventilation is not adequate to maintain this level, additional ventilation or exhaust systems may be required. Use explosive proof equipment.
Personal Protection Equipment
Respiratory protection: If airborne concentrations exceed the established exposure limit, a respirator is required. A self-contained breathing apparatus equipped with the appropriate cartridges and canisters should be used and NIOSH approved.
Protective gloves: Wear impermeable gloves.
Skin protection: Impervious clothing.
Eye protection: Safety goggles with side shields.
Additional clothing and/or equipment: ND
