Health Hazards Information -Recommended Personal Protective Equipment: Self-contained breathing
apparatus, rubber gloves, acid goggles; Symptoms Following Exposure: Vapor is irritating when
breathed at high concentrations. Contact with liquid causes irritation of skin and burning of eyes;
General Treatment for Exposure: INHALATION: remove to fresh air; administer artificial respiration
or oxygen if indicated; call a physician. SKIN AND EYES: wash with plenty of water; Toxicity by
Inhalation (Threshold Limit Value): Data not available; Short-Term Exposure Limits: LD,, 100 ppm,
4 hr; Toxicity by Ingestion: Grade 2; 0.5 to 5 g/kg (rat); Lute Toxicity: Data not available; Vapor (Gas)
Irritant Characteristics: Vapors cause a slight smarting of the eyes or respiratory system if present in
high concentrations. The effect is temporary; Liquid or Solidlrritant Characteristics: Minimum hazard.
If spilled on clothing and allowed to remain, may cause smarting and reddening of the skin; Odor
Threshold: Data not available.

Extinguishing Agents: Dry chemical, foam or carbon dioxide: Fire Extinguishing Agents Not To Be
Used Not pertinent; Special Hazards of Combustion Products: Not pertinent; Behavior in Fire: Not
pertinent; Ignition Temperature (deg. F): 534; Electrical Hazard Not pertinent; Burning Rate: 4.7
mm/rnin.
Chemical Reactivity - Reactivity with Water: No reaction; Reactivity with Common Materials: No
reactions; Stability During Transport: Stable; Neutralizing Agents for Acids and Caustics: Not pertinent;
