Section 3: Hazard Identification
Emergency overview

Appearance: Colorless to light yellow liquid.

Immediate effects: Corrosive. Combustible liquid. A possible skin sensitizer. Toxic by inhalation, in contact with skin and if swallowed causes burns. Harmful to aquatic organisms, may cause long-term adverse effects in the aquatic environment.

Potential health effects

Primary Routes of entry: Inhalation, ingestion and skin contact.
Signs and Symptoms of Overexposure: ND
Eyes: Severely irritating to the eyes.

Skin: Corrosive, contact with skin may result in strong irritation and burns.

Ingestion: May be harmful if swallowed and causes burns.

Inhalation: Breathing vapors or mist will cause irritation to the respiratory tracts and mucous membrane.

Chronic Exposure: ND

Chemical Listed As Carcinogen Or Potential Carcinogen: No

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 withy plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, holding eyelids apart. Get medical attention if irritation or other symptoms occur.

Skin Contact: Immediately flush eyes withy plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Use soap if available. Remove contaminated clothing or shoes after flushing has began. Get prompt medical attention. Thoroughly was contaminated clothing and shoes or discard in a manner
Inhalation: Remove to fresh air. If not breathing give artificial respiration or give oxygen by trained personal. Seek immediate medical attention.

Ingestion: Dilute with milk or water. Get immediate medical attention. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.

Section 6: Accidental Release Measures
Steps to be Taken in Case Material is Released or Spilled: This material should be prevented from contaminating soil or from entering sewage and drainage systems and bodies of water. Isolate hazard area. Keep unnecessary and unprotected personnel from entering. Prevent skin and eye contact. See Section 8. For small spills: Absorb spill with inert material (e.g., dry sand or vermiculite) then place in a chemical storage container for disposal. For large spill: Shut of leak, if safe to do so. Clean up spills immediately, observing precautions in protective equipment section, see Section 8. Contain spilled liquid with sand, vermiculite or earth. Retain all contaminated water for removal and treatment.
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 with adequate ventilation. Wash thoroughly after handling. Follow all MSDS/label precautions even after container is emptied because they may contain residues. Avoid contact with eyes and skin. Avoid breathing vapors. Keep away from ignition sources. Store in accordance with OSHA regulations and NEPA guidelines. Keep container closed when not in use.

Storage temperature: Room temperature.

Storage Pressure: ND

Section 8: Exposure Controls / Personal Protection
Engineering Controls

Ventilation required: Use fume hood. Use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to control sources of dust, mist or vapor.

Personal Protection Equipment

Respiratory protection: Use a NIOSH/MSHA approved air purifying respirator as needed to control exposure. Consult with respirator manufacturer to determine respirator selection, use and limitations. Use a positive pressure air supplied respirator for uncontrolled releases or when air purifying respirator limitations may be exceeded. Follow respiratory protection program requirements (OSHA 1910.134 and ANSI Z88.2) for all respirator use.

Protective gloves: Wear impervious gloves.
Skin protection: Wear chemical protective clothing, overalls, aprons or boots as need to prevent contact with skin.
Eye protection: Wear splash-proof chemical goggles and a face shield.
Additional clothing and/or equipment: Eyewash stations or shower
