Combustible liquid and vapor
Potential health hazards
Dangerous. Corrosive. Can cause burns to eyes and skin. May cause severe irritationrespiratory tract with possible burns. May cause severe irritation of the digestive tract with possible burns. Harmful if swallowed or absorbed through the skin because it can cause systemic poisoning and possible death. May cause central nervous system depression.

TWA is the concentration average based on time (time-weighted average) for a normal 8hour workday or 40 hours per-week when nearly all workers can be exposed to direct repeatedly without disadvantage effect.
Respiratory Protection:
Respiratory protection is recommended include: chemical for organic vapor cartridges with dust / mist prefilter. Water supplied or Purifying water powered continuous flow with organic vapor cartridge and a dust / mist prefilter. Self-contained breathing apparatus with a protective Advances operated in positive pressure. Water supplied in line operated pressure demand or other positive pressure with an auxiliary self-contained
breathing apparatus operated in pressure demand or other positive pressure mode.
Protective clothing:
Clothing-lasting protection to avoid exposure to chemicals for phenol. Material that is suggested for the clothing are butyl rubber, neoprene, or Teflon.
Eye protection:
Prevent contact with eyes. Use the Goggles and / or protective advance to prevent exposure.
Hand protection:
Wear gloves resistant chemicals, such as those made from viton, neoprene or PVC.
V. FIRST AID ACT
General Advice :
If symptoms continue or if in doubt, ask for medical help immediately.
If inhaled :
Immediately get medical treatment immediately. Immediately remove to a place with fresh air. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. DO NOT conduct mouth to mouth artificial respiration. If breathing increasingly disappearing, give artificial respiration using oxygen and a suitable mechanical equipment.
If contact with skin :
Immediately give medical treatment immediately. Immediately wash skin with soap a lot and water for at least 15 minutes, taking off clothes and contaminated shoes. Usually recommended for save the polyethylene glycol solution used to wash spray phenol. Wash clothing before reuse.
If contact with eyes :
Immediately give medical treatment immediately. DO NOT let the patient scratched eye or closed eye. Wash thoroughly with water for at least 30 minutes.
If swallowed :
DO NOT try to vomit. If the victim unconscious and awake, give 2-4 glasses of milk or water. Never give anything by mouth to patients who faint. Immediately give medical treatment.
VI. FIRE FIGHTING ACTION
Flash point: 790C (Closed cup)
Auto ignition temperature: 7150C
Explosion limits: 1.7 - 8.6% vol
Appropriate Fire Extinguisher :
alcohol resistant foam, water spray or fog. Dry chemical, carbon dioxide,sand or soil can be used for small fires only.
Non appropriate Firefighters Facility:
Water in a jet
Fire fighting procedures:
During fire, toxic and irritating gases can be produced from thermal decomposition or combustion. Firefighters must wear self-contained breathing apparatus protective clothing. Use of water for fire exposed containers cool.
Special protective equipment for:
Use full firefighters respiratory equipment (self-contained breathing apparatus) with full masks and protective clothing.
VII. DEALING WITH THE LEAKAGE
Self-protection:
Use full protective equipment including self-contained breathing apparatus and protective clothing. Ventilate leakage area. Do not inhale the steam. Avoid touching the leaked material. Turn off all sources of ignition. Use water spray to reduce vapors.
Environmental protection:
Prevent contamination of the water and soil, preventing products not to enter drainage, wells or waterways by using sand, land or other barrier material.
Methods for cleaning:
Absorption spills with inert material (eg vermiculite, sand or soil), then enclosed in a suitable container. Clean up spills immediately. Turn off all sources of ignition. Use the tool that does not cause spark. Provide ventilation.
VIII. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Handling :
The officer in charge must use self-contained breathing apparatus and protective clothing. Wash hands after handling. Remove contaminated clothing and wash before use back. Use only in well-ventilated area. Lest exposed to the eyes, skin or clothing. Never add water to the materials. empty containers still contain residues (liquid and / or steam) and can be dangerous. Close the container tightly. Avoid contact with heat, sparks, flames. Do not be swallowed and inhaled. Discard shoes contaminated. Do not put pressure, cutting, soldering, grind, or expose containers to heat, sparks or flame.
Storage :
Sensitive to air. Sensitive to light. Store in a light resistance container. Sensitive to humidity. Close container tightly when not being used. Store in tightly closed containers. Keep from contact with oxidizing materials. Store in a cool, dry and well ventilated and away from inappropriate materials.

X. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Effects on humans
Inhalation:
Can cause severe irritation of upper respiratory tract symptoms coughing, burns, breathing difficulty and possible coma. Can be fatal if exposure to high concentrations. Aspiration may cause pulmonary edema. Can cause loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, weakness, headache, sweating, cramps, cyanosis, fainting, fatigu, pulmonary edema and coma. Inhalation of high concentrations may cause depression central nervous system and asphixiation.
If swallowed:
Harmful if swallowed. May cause severe and permanent damage
to digestion system. May cause central nervous system depression characterized by headache, dizziness, drowsiness and nausea. More severe levels may cause collapse, fainting, coma dam mortality due to respiratory failure. May cause perforation of the channel digestion. Causes burns of the digestive tract with symptoms like sore, swollen throat, seizures and possible coma.
If contact with skin:
Harmful if swallowed through the skin. Direct contact with skin result in skin whitening followed by severe burns. Phenol solution can be absorbed through the skin and can cause poisoning effects and possible death.
If contact with eyes:
Eye contact with liquid or vapor can cause severe burns and possible eye damage. May cause chemical konjugtivitis and corneal damage.
Chronic Health Effects:
Inhalation or ingestion can cause long-term effects together with the effects of inhalation and ingestion above. Can cause liver and kidney damage. May cause reproductive organs and fetuses. The effect may be delayed. Experiment laboratory shows can cause mutagenic effects. Contact with skin may cause dermatitis. Research in animals indicates the occurrence of tumors.
