| TYPES OF
HAZARD / EXPOSURE |
ACUTE HAZARDS / SYMPTOMS | PREVENTION | FIRST AID / FIRE FIGHTING |
| FIRE | Highly flammable.
|
NO open flames, NO
sparks, and NO smoking. |
Powder,
alcohol-resistant foam, water in large amounts, carbon dioxide.
|
| EXPLOSION | Vapour/air mixtures are
explosive. |
Closed system,
ventilation, explosion-proof electrical equipment and lighting. Do NOT use
compressed air for filling, discharging, or handling. |
In case of fire: keep
drums, etc., cool by spraying with water. |
 | |||
| EXPOSURE | |||
| Inhalation | Sore throat. Cough.
Confusion. Headache. Dizziness. Drowsiness. Unconsciousness.
|
Ventilation, local
exhaust, or breathing protection. |
Fresh air, rest. Refer
for medical attention. |
| Skin | Dry skin.
|
Protective gloves.
|
Remove contaminated
clothes. Rinse skin with plenty of water or shower. |
| Eyes | Redness. Pain. Blurred
vision. Possible corneal damage. |
Safety spectacles or
face shield. Contact lenses should not be worn. |
First rinse with plenty
of water for several minutes (remove contact lenses if easily possible),
then take to a doctor. |
| Ingestion | Nausea. Vomiting
(further see Inhalation). |
Do not eat, drink, or
smoke during work. |
Rinse mouth. Refer for
medical attention. |
| SPILLAGE DISPOSAL | PACKAGING & LABELLING |
| Ventilation. Collect
leaking liquid in sealable containers. Absorb remaining liquid in sand or
inert absorbent and remove to safe place. Do NOT wash away into sewer.
Then wash away with plenty of water (extra personal protection:
self-contained breathing apparatus). |

Fireproof. Separated
from strong oxidants. |
| IMPORTANT DATA | |
| PHYSICAL STATE;
APPEARANCE: COLOURLESS LIQUID , WITH CHARACTERISTIC ODOUR. PHYSICAL DANGERS: The vapour is heavier than air and may travel along the ground; distant ignition possible. CHEMICAL DANGERS: The substance can form explosive peroxides on contact with strong oxidants such as acetic acid, nitric acid, hydrogen peroxide. Reacts with chloroform and bromoform under basic conditions, causing fire and explosion hazard. Attacks plastic. OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE LIMITS: TLV: 750 ppm; 1780 mg/m 3 (ACGIH 1993-1993). |
ROUTES OF EXPOSURE:
The substance can be absorbed into the body by inhalation and through the skin. INHALATION RISK: A harmful contamination of the air can be reached rather quickly on evaporation of this substance at 20°C on dispersing however much faster. EFFECTS OF SHORT-TERM EXPOSURE: The vapour irritates the eyes and the respiratory tract. The substance may cause effects on the central nervous system, liver, kidneys and gastrointestinal tract. EFFECTS OF LONG-TERM OR REPEATED EXPOSURE: Repeated or prolonged contact with skin may cause dermatitis. The substance may have effects on the blood and bone marrow. |
| PHYSICAL PROPERTIES | |
| Boiling point: 56°C
Melting point: -95°C Relative density (water = 1): 0.8 Solubility in water: miscible Vapour pressure, kPa at 20°C: 24 Relative vapour density (air = 1): 2.0 |
Relative density of the
vapour/air-mixture at 20°C (air = 1): 1.2 Flash point: -18°C c.c. Auto-ignition temperature: 465°C Explosive limits, vol% in air: 2.2-13 Octanol/water partition coefficient as log Pow: -0.24 |
| ENVIRONMENTAL DATA | |
| NOTES | |
| Use of
alcoholic beverages enhances the harmful effect.
