III. HAZARD IDENTIFICATION

 

   F = Highly flammable            Xi = Irritating                 

Safety hazard

Highly flammable. In the use of a mixture can form a flammable vapor-air or can be explode.

Potential health hazards

Harmful if swallowed or inhaled. May cause irritation to eyes, skin and respiratory tract. Vapor can cause central nervous system depression.

IV. SELF PROTECTION GEAR

Respiratory Protection:

If ventilation is inadequate use of appropriate respiratory equipment.

Skin and body protection:

Use of plastic shoes or rubber boots, protective clothing with chemical resistance. Wash clothing and other protective equipment before storage or reuse.

Eye protection:

Avoid contact with eyes by using chemical goggles side or the protective mask, if there is a risk exposure of vapor or mist or when there is risk of splashing materials to the eye. Safety shower and eyewash must be available in areas where materials was used.

Protection of hands:

Neoprene or latex glove

V. FIRST AID ACT

General advice :

If symptoms continue or if in doubt, ask for medical help immediately.

If inhaled:

Move victim to fresh air. If coughing or symptoms occur other respiratory, provide medical care. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Immediately contact doctor.

If contact with skin:

Wash contaminated skin immediately with soap and water, while remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Washing clothes contaminated before reuse. If skin irritation continues, contact your doctor immediately.

If contact with eyes :

Rinse with lots of water for at least 15 minutes and consult your eye doctor.

If swallowed:

Rinse mouth with water. If victim conscious, give 1-2 glasses of water or milk. Do not try vomiting unless under the guidance of officers medical, because of the risk of lung damage. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious victim or seizure- seizures. Immediately call a physician.

VI. FIRE FIGHTING ACTION

Flash point: -20⁰C

Auto ignition temperature: 465⁰C

Explosion limits: 2.6 - 12.8%

Firefighter Facilities:

Water spray, alcohol resistant foam, dry chemical, carbon dioxide (CO₂)

Fire fighting procedures:

Use water to cool containers exposed to fire. Heat can cause expansion or decomposition which resulted in container rupture or explode. If safe, move the container from exposure to fire. spills or spills can be driven away by water, fog or water spray. For large fires or in atmospheric conditions lack of oxygen or the level is too high concentrations of fire products in the air, firefighters should wear clothing equipped with respiratory protection equipment and mask advance.

Special protective equipment for firefighters:

Firefighters must use self-matching protective equipment, including a complete respiratory equipment (self-contained breathing apparatus) and full protective clothing.

VII. DEALING WITH THE LEAKAGE

Personal Protection:

Evacuate people to a safe area. Turn off all ignition sources. Do not breathe vapor or mist. Use full protection clothing and complete respiratory equipment. Lid leaks if it can be done without risk. Keep the people from areas where wind blows in the same direction with a leak or spill.

Environmental Protection:

Enclosed or absorb spilled liquid with sand or soil. Consult with experts. Prevent liquids do not enter the wells, where low or waterways; vapor can produce an atmosphere that could explode. If material had entered the water sources or wells or has contaminated soil or vegetation, notify the authorities handle environmental problems.

Methods for cleaning:

For small spills

Use water spray to disperse vapors and spills capture with sand or other absorbent material (soil, vermiculite, silica gel) and enclosed in a sealed container for further disposal.

For large spills

Weir spills for further disposal. Turn off the heat, smoke or sparks in the area of leakage. Ventilate leakage area. If possible, the spillage of liquid is pumped or transferred into containers to waste. Residual liquid should be absorbed and contained in a container that separately. Dispose of spills and residue in accordance with regulations applicable legislation.

VIII. HANDLING AND STORAGE

Handling :

Use only in well-ventilated area. Do not breathe vapors or fog. Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing. Use clothing appropriate protection. Do not be discharged into sewers. Keep from heat and ignition sources. Only equipment that is safe (eg explosion proof equipment) which may be used in areas where this material used. Do not use compressed air to the filling process mixing or handling, because of the danger of steam. Containers should be earthed (earthed) to prevent formation of static charge during mixing or transferring the product.

Storage :

Store in tightly closed containers in a cool, dry, isolated and well ventilated, and away from heat, ignition sources and inappropriate materials. Keep away from oxidizing materials. Closed-meeting meeting at any time and inspect containers periodically to anticipate for leakage. Do not eat, drink or smoke in places use or storage of this material.

IX. STABILITY AND REACTIVITY

Stability:

Stable in normal use and storage conditions

Conditions to avoid:

Heat, sparks, static charge

Inappropriate materials:

Strong oxidizing material, halogenated compounds

Hazardous polymerization:

It will not happen

Hazardous decomposition products:

Combustion can produce carbon dioxide and water, not burning perfectly able to produce carbon monoxide.

X. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION

Effects on humans

If swallowed:

Swallowed a very small possibility of risk in industrial areas. If swallowed can lead to intoxication, or harmful effects of the nervous system center. Stock swallowed in small amounts is euphoria, headache, dizziness, drowsiness, blurred vision and weak. Ingested in large quantities can cause acute poisoning, tremors, convulsions, fainting, coma, respiratory failure and death. Aspiration to the lungs can lead to pneumonia.

When exposed to the eye:

Vapor can irritate the eyes. Liquids and mist can cause irritation or severe damage to the eye.

When skin contact:

Contact with skin can cause irritation and redness. Contact long-term or repeated may cause dry skin and chapped broken skin or dermatitis with symptoms of reddening, itching and blister. This can lead to secondary infections.

If inhaled:

Steam can cause irritation of mucous membranes and is on channel respiration. Inhalation of steam can cause drunkenness, headache, nausea, loss of coordination, narcosis, and vomiting. Early symptoms may occur when the concentration of vapor in the air ranged from 1000 to 5000 ppm.

Chronic: Long term effects:

Ingestion in the long term or repeated vapor inhalation can cause damage to the liver and other organs. Shelf acetone in the work area can exacerbate the health effects caused by the consumption of alcoholic beverages, especially symptoms of narcosis and effects on the liver.

XI. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION

Mobility:

On the ground, this product will move and contaminate the ground water resource.

Bioaccumulation:

Not expected to be significantly bioaccumulation

XII. DISPOSAL

Disposal of product:

This material must be enclosed and should not be dumped in the river, or waterways. 

Disposal of containers:

Empty containers should be cleaned by rinsing with water. Containers that can not be used again should be cleaned from the steam- steam prior to disposal. Residues may cause danger. Do not blast punched a hole, cutting or welding the drums have not been cleaned.
