| First Aid Measures | Back to Contents | 【Ingestion】
Induce vomiting. Get medical aid immediately. Wash mouth out with water. | 【Inhalation】
Get medical aid immediately. Remove from exposure to fresh air immediately. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. | 【Skin】
Get medical aid immediately. Immediately flush skin with plenty of soap and water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. | 【Eyes】
Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Get medical aid immediately. |
| Handling and Storage | Back to Contents | 【Storage】
Keep away from sources of ignition. Store in a cool, dry place. Store in a tightly closed container. Keep under a nitrogen blanket. Flammables-area. | 【Handling】
Use spark-proof tools and explosion proof equipment. Do not breathe dust, vapor, mist, or gas. Do not get in eyes, on skin, or on clothing. Take precautionary measures against static discharges. Use only in a chemical fume hood. Store and handle protected from air. |
| Hazards Identification | Back to Contents | 【Inhalation】
Causes respiratory tract irritation. May cause irritation of the respiratory tract with burning pain in the nose and throat, coughing, wheezing, shortness of breath and pulmonary edema. Inhalation may be fatal as a result of spasm, inflammation, edema of the larynx and bronchi, chemical pneumonitis and pulmonary edema. Toxic if inhaled. | 【Skin】
Causes skin irritation. May cause skin sensitization, an allergic reaction, which becomes evident upon re-exposure to this material. Substance is rapidly absorbed through the skin. Causes redness and pain. | 【Eyes】
Causes eye irritation. Contact with liquid or vapor causes severe burns and possible irreversible eye damage. Lachrymator. Causes redness and pain. Lachrymator. | 【Ingestion】
Harmful if swallowed. | 【Hazards】
Vapors form explosive mixtures in air or in sewers. Hazardous peroxides and acids emitted when heated to decomposition. Avoid nitric acid. Unstable, avoid oxygen, heat, elevated pressures. Hazardous polymerization may occur. Avoid contact with alkaline materials such as caustic ammonia or amines, or at elevated temperatures. | 【EC Risk Phrase】

| Exposure Controls/Personal Protection | Back to Contents | 【Personal Protection】
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 29CFR 1910.134 or European Standard EN 149. Always use a NIOSH or European Standard EN 149 approved respirator when necessary. | 【Exposure Effects】
Seizures have been observed as a terminal event in exposed rats. Chronically exposed Russian workers developed unspecified sexual disturbances, decreased androgenous function of the male endocrine glands, and menstrual disturbances. | 【Poison Class】

| Fire Fighting Measures | Back to Contents | 【Flash Point】
13 | 【Autoignition】
232 | 【Fire Fighting】
Wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and full protective gear. Will burn if involved in a fire. Extinguishing media: Use water spray to cool fire-exposed containers. Use foam, dry chemical, or carbon dioxide. | 【Upper exp. limit】
15.5 | 【Lower exp. limit】
2.1 | 【Fire Potential】
Fire hazard when exposed to heat or flame; can react with oxidizing materials. |
| Accidental Release Measures | Back to Contents | 【Small spills/leaks】
Absorb spill with inert material, (e.g., dry sand or earth), then place into a chemical waste container. Remove all sources of ignition. Use a spark-proof tool. |
| Stability and Reactivity | Back to Contents | 【Incompatibilities】
Oxidizing agents, reducing agents, bases, acids (mineral, non-oxidizing, e.g. hydrochloric acid, hydrofluoric acid, muriatic acid, phosphoric acid), acids (mineral, oxidizing, e.g. chromic acid, hypochlorous acid, nitric acid, sulfuric acid), caustics (e.g. ammonia, ammonium hydrozide, calcium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, sodium hydroxide). | 【Stability】
Stable under normal temperatures and pressures. | 【Decomposition】
Carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide. | 【Combustion Products】
Fire will produce irritating, corrosive and/or toxic gases. |
