Health Hazards Information - Personal Protective Equipment: If exposure is possible, wear full
clothing (neoprene slicker suit, rubber boots, rubber gloves, chemical goggles). If vapors may be
present, wear all purpose canister or gas mask; if vapors are known to be present, use self-contained
breathing apparatus. Symptom Following Exposure: Material gives inadequate warning of overexposure
by respiration or skin contact. May cause vomiting and possibly death when inhaled, ingested, or
absorbed through skin. Severe blistering agent; can produce third-degree chemical burns of skin. Has
corrosive effect on mucous membranes and may cause scaring of esophagus if swallowed. Corrosive
to eye tissue; may cause permanent corneal opacity and conjunctival scarring. Effects on eye tissue,
and skin may be delayed. Treatment for Exposure: INHALATION: remove victim from exposure and
administer oxygen; steroid therapy (by physician) is recommended. SKIN OR EYES: prompt and
adequate irrigation with water (within 60 seconds of exposure) can prevent serious injury. Toxicity by
Inhalation (Threshold Limit Value): Data not available Short-Tern Inhalation Limits: 5 ppm for 30 min
Toxicity by Ingesrion: Grade 4; LD below 50 mglkg (rat) Late Toxicity: Causes cancer in mice. Effects
on man unknown. Vapor (Gas) Irritant Characteristics: Vapor is moderately irritating such that
personnel will not usually tolerate moderate or high concentrations.
Fire Hazards - Flash Point (a'eg. F): 1 OC; 12 CC; Flammable Limits in Air (%): 3.3 - 54.8; Fire
Extinguishing Agents: Dry chemical, alcohol foam, carbon dioxide; Fire Extinguishing Agents Not To
Be Used: Not pertinent; Special Hazards of Combustion Products: Irritating vapor generated when
heated; Behavior in Fire: Vapor is heavier than air and may travel considerable distance to a source of
ignition and flash back; Ignition Temperature (a'eg. F): 608; Electrical Hazard: Not pertinent; Burning
Rate: Data not available.
Chemical Reactivity - Reactivity with Water: Mild reaction, non-hazardous; Reactivity with Common
Materials: Contact with silver or aluminum may cause polymerization; Stability Dwing Transport:
Stable unless heated under pressure; Neutralizing Agents for Acids and Caustics: Flush with water;
Polymerization: Explosive polymerization can occur when in contact with acids; Inhibitor of
Polymerization: None used.
