  Section 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION   EMERGENCY OVERVIEW 
 Irritating to eyes, respiratory system and skin. 
 Potential Health Effects 
 Eye: 
 Causes eye irritation. May cause chemical conjunctivitis. 
 Skin: 
 Causes skin irritation. 
 Ingestion: 
 May cause gastrointestinal irritation with nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. The toxicological properties of this substance have not been fully investigated. 
 Inhalation: 
 Causes respiratory tract irritation. The toxicological properties of this substance have not been fully investigated. Can produce delayed pulmonary edema. 
 Chronic: 
 Effects may be delayed.  
  Section 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES   Eyes: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Get medical aid. 
 Skin: 
 Get medical aid. Flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash clothing before reuse. 
 Ingestion: 
 Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical aid. Do NOT induce vomiting. If conscious and alert, rinse mouth and drink 2-4 cupfuls of milk or water. Wash mouth out with water. 
 Inhalation: 
 Remove from exposure and move to fresh air immediately. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical aid. Do NOT use mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. 
 Notes to Physician: 
 Treat symptomatically and supportively.  
  Section 5 - FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES   General Information: 
 As in any fire, wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and full protective gear. During a fire, irritating and highly toxic gases may be generated by thermal decomposition or combustion. 
 Extinguishing Media: 
 Use water spray, dry chemical, carbon dioxide, or chemical foam.  
  Section 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES   General Information: Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated in Section 8. 
 Spills/Leaks: 
 Vacuum or sweep up material and place into a suitable disposal container. Clean up spills immediately, observing precautions in the Protective Equipment section. Avoid generating dusty conditions. 
 Provide ventilation.  
  Section 7 - HANDLING and STORAGE   Handling: 
 Minimize dust generation and accumulation. Avoid breathing dust, vapor, mist, or gas. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. 
 Keep container tightly closed. Avoid ingestion and inhalation. Use with adequate ventilation. Wash clothing before reuse. 
 Storage: 
 Store in a tightly closed container. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible substances.  
  Section 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS, PERSONAL PROTECTION   Engineering Controls: 
 Facilities storing or utilizing this material should be equipped with an eyewash facility and a safety shower. Use adequate ventilation to keep airborne concentrations low. 
 Exposure Limits CAS# 612-40-8: Personal Protective Equipment Eyes: Wear appropriate protective eyeglasses or chemical safety goggles as described by OSHA's eye and face protection regulations in 29 CFR 1910.133 or European Standard EN166. 
 Skin: 
 Wear appropriate protective gloves to prevent skin exposure. 
 Clothing: 
 Wear appropriate protective clothing to prevent skin exposure. 
 Respirators: 
 Follow the OSHA respirator regulations found in 29 CFR 1910.134 or European Standard EN 149. Use a NIOSH/MSHA or European Standard EN 149 approved respirator if exposure limits are exceeded or if irritation or other symptoms are experienced.
