Health Hazards Information -Recommended Personal Protective Equipment: Goggles or face shield;
rubber gloves and other protective clothing to prevent contact with skin; Symptoms Following Exposure:
Contact of liquid with eyes causes severe irritation. May induce severe skin irritation, inflammation,
swelling, and pustule formation. Absorption through the skin may cause purging. Ingestion causes
burning of the mouth and stomach and drastic purging, possibly leading to collapse and death. Small
doses have a strong laxative effect; General Treatment for Exposure: EYES: flush with water; a 2.5 9%
hydroxycortisone ointment is recommended. SKIN: remove as much liquid as possible from skin by
use of a good solvent such as acetone or alcohol; wash with soap and water. INGESTION: for
gastrointestinal symptoms, use demulcents; further treatment is symptomatic; do NOT induce vomiting;
Toxicity by Inhalation (Threshold Limit Value): Data not available; Short-Term Inhalation Limits: Data
not available; Toxicity by Ingestion: Grade 4, LD,, < 50 mglkg; Late Tixicity: Has been used in cancer
research as a promoter for other compounds that cause skin cancer; Vapor (Gas) Irritant Characteris-
tics: Data not available; Liquid or Solid Irritant Characteristics: Data not available; Odor Threshold:
Data not available.
Fire Hazards - Flash Point : Data not available; Flammable Limits in Air (%): Not pertinent; Fire
Extinguishing Agents: Dry chemical, foam, or carbon dioxide; Fire Extinguishing Agents Not to be
Used: Water may be ineffective; Special Hazards of Combustion Products: Not pertinent; Behavior in
Fire: Not pertinent; Ignition Temperature : Data not available; Electrical Hazard Not pertinent;
Burning Rate: 4 mm/min.
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;

Health Hazards Information - Recommended Personal Protective Equipment: Goggles or face shield;
rubber gloves; Symptom Following Exposure: Contact of liquid with eyes causes mild irritation.
Prolonged contact with skin can cause dermatitis. Ingestion of large doses (over 1 oz) has laxative
effect; General Treatment for Exposure: EYES: flesh with water for at least 15 min. SKIN: wipe off;
wash with soap and water. INGESTION: do NOT induce vomiting; Toxicity by Inhalation Freshold
Limit Value): Data not available; Short-Tenn Inhalation Limits: Not pertinent; Toxicity by Ingestion:
