  1. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION

Emergency Overview

Physical Appearance: Specific colored Liquid with a characteristic odor.

Potential Health Effects

Eyes      : May cause eyes burning or irritation.

Skins     : May cause irritation in the form of redness, burning or dermatitis.

Ingestion: Solvents present in this mixture may be fatal if swallowed. Also small quantity may affect nervous system and cause abdominal discomfort. Contact local poison control centre or physician immediately. Do not induce vomiting unless instructed so by a physician. If vomiting occurs, keep head lower than hips to help prevent aspiration. Get medical attention immediately.

  1. FIRST AID MEASURES

EYES:    Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for two to three minutes. Remove

Any contact lenses and continue flushing for 15 minutes, get medical attention.

Skin   :    Remove contaminated clothing and immediately wash affected area with plenty of  soap and water. Seek medical attention if necessary. Wash contaminated clothing before reuse, with plenty of soap and water. Seek Medical attention if necessary.

Ingestion: Contact local poison control centre or physician immediately. Do not induce vomiting unless instructed so by a physician. If vomiting occurs, keep head lower than hips to help prevent aspiration. Get medical attention immediately.

  1. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES.
  • Flashpoint & Method                 : – 4.4 deg. C , 24 deg. F ( Closed Cup )
  • Flammable limits                        : 2.2 to 9 % by volume in air.
  • Auto Ignition Temperature         :  >426 deg C, 798.8 deg. F
  • General Hazard           : Dangerous fire hazard when exposed to heat or flame.

Vapour can flow along surfaces to distant ignition sources and flash back.

 

Extinguishing Media    : Carbon Dioxide, Dry Chemical Foam and Water Spray. Hazardous Combustion Products  : Oxides of carbon and noxious fumes.
Explosion Hazards  : Above flash point, vapor to air mixtures are flammable if within the flammable limits noted above. Contact with strong oxidizers may cause fire or explosion.

Fire Fighting : Wear full protective equipment and a self contained Equipments breathing apparatus with the full face covering operated in the pressure demand mode. Water spray may be used to keep fire-exposed containers cool until they can be evacuated.

Sensitive to Static Discharge           : Yes.

Hazardous Decomposition Products: Hazardous polymerization will not occur.

  1. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES.

Comments: Ventilate area of leak or spill. Remove all ignition sources. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment. Contain and recover liquid when possible. Use non-sparking tools and equipment. Contain liquid in an appropriate container or absorb with an inert material i.e. sawdust, dry sand, universal binder, acid binder or cloth etc., and place in a chemical waste container. DO NOT FLUSH TO SEWER. If leak or spill has ignited use water spray to disperse any vapor and flush spill away from personal or other ignitable materials. When picked up, treat material as prescribed under heading “DISPOSAL”.

  1. HANDLING AND STORAGE

General Procedures: Protect container against physical damage. Store in a cool, dry well ventilated location away from any area where a fire hazard mat be acute. Containers should be bonded and grounded for transfer to avoid static sparks. Do not permit smoking in storage areas. Use only non-sparking tools and equipments around the liquid. Empty containers may be hazardous from residual liquid and vapor. Observe all warnings and precautions listed.

  1. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/ PERSONAL PROTECTION
  • Exposure Guideline: OSHA Hazardous Components (29 CFR 1910.1200)
  • OSHA Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL): 200ppm (TWA):300ppm (acceptable ceiling conc.): 500ppm (maximum conc.)
  • ACGIH Threshold Limit Value (TLV):
  • 50ppm (TWA) skin, A4 – Not Classifiable as a human Carcinogen.
