Health Hazards Information - Recommended Personal Protective Equipment: Chemical safety
goggles; rubber gloves and apron; respiratory protective equipment; non-sparking shoes; Symptom
Following Exposure: Inhalation causes irritation of burns of the respiratory system; exposure to
concentrated vapors and cause asphyxiation. Ingestion causes burns of mouth and stomach. Contact with
eyes causes lachrymation, conjunctivitis, burns, corneal edema. Contact with skin causes irritation or
burns, dermatitis; General Treatment for Exposure: INHALATION: remove patient from exposure;
keep him quiet; contact physician. INGESTION: give large amount of water; induce vomiting; consult
a physician. EYES: flush thoroughly with water for 15 min.; call physician immediately. SKIN:
remove all contaminated clothing; flood affected area with large quantities of water; consult a
physician; Toxicity by Inhalation (Threshold Limit Value) : Data not available; Short-Tenn Exposure
Limits: Data not available; Toxicity by Ingestion: Grade 3; oral LD,, 380 mg/kg (rat); Late Toxicity:
Data not available; Vapor (Gas) Irritant Characteristics: Vapors are moderately irritating such that
personnel will not usually tolerate moderate or high concentrations; Liquid or Solid Irritant
Characteristics: Severe skin irritant. Causes second- and third-degree burns on short contact and is very
injurious to the eyes; Odor Z%reshold Data not available.
Fire Hazards - Flash Point (deg. F): 16 CC; Flammable Limits in Air ( W): No data; Fire Extinguishing
Agents: Alcohol foam, dry chemical, carbon dioxide; Fire Extinguishing Agents Not To Be Used Water
may be ineffective; Special Hazards of Combustion Products: Toxic oxides of nitrogen may be formed;
Behavior in Fire: Vapor is heavier than air and can travel distances to ignition source and flash back.

corrode some metals in presence of water; Stability During Transport: Stable; Neutralizing Agents for
Acids and Caustics: Flush with water; Polymerization: Not pertinent; Inhibitor of Polymerization: Not
pertinent.
