Health Hazards Information -Recommended Personal Protective Equipment: Self-contained breathing
apparatus or dust mask; butyl rubber gloves; side-shield safety glasses; Symptoms Following Exposure:
Inhalation or ingestion causes headache, drowsiness, nausea, and blue color in lips, ears, and
fingernails (cyanosis). Contact with eyes causes irritation; can be absorbed through the intact skin to
give same symptoms as for inhalation; General Treatment for Exposure: INHALATION or
INGESTION: remove victim to fresh air; give artificial respiration; call a doctor if symptoms persist.
EYES: flood with water for at least 15 min.; get medical attention. SKIN: cleanse thoroughly with soap
and water; Toxicity by Inhalation (Threshold Limit Value): Data not available; Short-Term Inhalation
Limits: Data not available; Toxicity by Ingestion: Grade 3; LD, 50-500 mg/kg; Late Toxicity: Data not
available; Vapor (Gas) Irritant Characteristics: Data not available; Liquid or Solid Irritant
Characteristics: Data not available; Odor i'?zreshoM: Odorless.
Fire Hazards - Flash Point : Not pertinent (combustible solid); Flammable Limits in Air (%): Not
pertinent; Fire Extinguishing Agents: Water, foam, dry chemical, carbon dioxide; Fire Extinguishing
Agents Not To Be Used: No data; Special Hazards of Combustion Products: Toxic oxides of nitrogen
and fumes of unburned material may form in fire; Behavior in Fire: Decomposes violently at 279" C
and will burn even in absence of air; Ignition Temperature : Data not available; Electrical Hazard: Not
pertinent; Burning Rate: Not pertinent.
Chemical Reactivity - Reactivity with Water: No reaction; Reactivity with Common Materials: NO
reaction; Stability During Transport: Stable; Neutralizing Agents for Acids and Caustics: Not pertinent;
