Section 3 – Hazards Identification

Emergency Overview:

Caution!  Non-flammable, volatile liquid with an irritating odor.  Can cause eye, skin, and respiratory tract irritation.  Can cause central nervous system depression and death if too much is breathed.  Aspiration hazard if swallowed.  Can enter lungs and cause damage.  Use ventilation adequate to keep exposures below legal and recommended exposure limits (see section 2).  Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing.  Do not taste or swallow.  Wash thoroughly after handling.  Toxic fumes are released in fire situations.  Vapors can form flammable mixtures with air in confined or poorly ventilated areas which can be ignited upon contact with a spark, flame, or other ignition source.  Contain spilled liquid to prevent contamination of soil, surface water or ground water.

Potential Health Effects:

For short term overexposure

Eye:

Can cause irritation.  Symptoms may include stinging, burning, tearing, redness, and swelling.

Skin:

Can cause irritation.  Symptoms may include redness, burning, drying, inflammation (dermatitis), and burns.  Material may be absorbed through the skin from prolonged contact.

Inhalation:

Can cause irritation of nose, throat, and airways.  High concentrations may cause central nervous system depression with symptoms of dizziness, headache, nausea, confusion.

Ingestion:

Can cause irritation of the mouth, throat, and gastrointestinal tract.  Symptoms may include abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea.  Aspiration of material into the lungs may cause chemical pneumonitis, which can be fatal.

Target Organ / Chronic Effects:

For repeated overexposure

Reports have associated repeated and prolonged occupational overexposure to organic solvents with various neurotoxic effects including permanent brain and nervous system damage.  Symptoms include loss of memory, loss of intellectual ability and loss of coordination.  Chronic skin exposure to solvents may cause similar effects.  Intentional misuse by deliberately concentrating and inhaling the contents of this product may be harmful or fatal.

Overexposure to methylene chloride can raise the level of carbon monoxide in the blood causing cardiovascular stress.  Overexposure to methylene chloride has been suggested as a cause of the following effects in laboratory animals: kidney damage, liver damage.  Pre-existing disorders of the following organs (or organ systems) may be aggravated by exposure to methylene chloride: liver, kidney and any pre-existing condition sensitive to a decrease in available oxygen, such as chronic lung disease, coronary artery disease or anemias.  Methylene chloride has been shown to cause harm to the fetus in laboratory animal studies.  Harm to the fetus occurs only at exposure levels that harm the pregnant animal.  The relevance of these findings to humans is uncertain.

Carcinogenicity:

This product contains the following components in quantities greater than or equal to 0.1% by weight that are listed as proven or suspect carcinogens by IARC, NTP, or OSHA:

Methylene chloride has been shown to cause cancer in laboratory animals and has been listed as a possible human carcinogen (Group 2B) by IARC and as a substance that “may reasonably be anticipated to be a carcinogen” by NTP.

Propylene oxide has been listed as a probable human carcinogen (Group 2A) by the IARC based upon sufficient evidence from laboratory animal test data.  The NTP has listed propylene oxide as a substance that “may reasonably be anticipated to be a carcinogen.”

Primary Route(s) of Entry:

Inhalation, eye contact, skin contact

 

 

Section 4 – First Aid Measures

Eye Contact:

Flush eyes gently with water for at least 15 minutes while holding eyelids apart.  Consult physician.

Skin Contact:

Wash exposed skin area with soap and water.  Consult physician if irritation persists.  Launder contaminated clothing before reuse.

Inhalation:

Remove individual to fresh air.  If breathing is difficult, administer oxygen.  If breathing has stopped, begin artificial respiration.  Seek immediate medical attention.

Ingestion:

Do not induce vomiting.  Seek immediate medical attention.

Note to Physician:

Any treatment that might be required for overexposure should be directed at the control of symptoms and the clinical condition.

Exposure may increase “myocardial irritability”.  Do not administer sympathomimetic drugs unless absolutely necessary.

 

 

Section 5 – Fire Fighting Measures

Fire and Explosive Properties of the Chemical:

Although this product has no flash point up to the boiling point, concentrated vapors can form flammable mixtures with air (see Flammable/Explosive Limits below).  Vapors are heavier than air and may travel long distances and accumulate in low lying areas.

This product should not be used where inadequate ventilation is likely or where vapor concentrations may become flammable.

Closed containers may burst due to pressure build-up if exposed to temperatures at or near the boiling point of the product.  Closed containers may rupture explosively if exposed to extreme heat or fire.

Never use welding or cutting torch on or near drum (even empty) because product (even just residue) may ignite explosively.

Flammability Classification: N/A              DOT: N/A

Flashpoint: None (Closed Cup)

Flammable / Explosive Limits:

Lower: 13.0 % Volume in Air

Upper: 23.0 % Volume in Air

Auto-ignition Temperature: 1033.0° F

Extinguishing Media:

Water fog, carbon dioxide, dry chemical

Fire-Fighting Procedures and Equipments:

Wear a self-contained breathing apparatus with a full face-piece operated in the positive pressure demand mode with appropriate turn-out gear and chemical resistant personal protective equipment.

Water may be used to keep fire-exposed containers cool to prevent pressure build-up and possible auto-ignition or explosion when exposed to extreme heat.  Avoid spreading burning liquids with water used for cooling purposes.  Fire protection and fire response strategy should be planned through consultation with local fire protection authorities or appropriate specialists.

 

 

Section 6 – Accidental Release Measures

Containment and Clean-Up:

Eliminate all ignition sources such as flames (including pilot lights), electrical sparks, etc.  Stop spill at source.  Contain spilled liquid with sand, earth, vermiculite or other inert absorbent material.  This material is a water pollutant and should be prevented from contaminating soil or from entering sewage and drainage systems and other bodies of water.  If run-off occurs, notify authorities as required.

Persons not wearing protective equipment should be excluded from area of spill until clean-up has been completed.  Depending on the size of the spill, pump or vacuum transfer spilled product to clean container for recovery and transfer contaminated absorbent to appropriately marked waste container for disposal.

 

 

Section 7 – Handling and Storage

Handling:

Handle with reasonable care.  Avoid breathing vapors and spray mist.  Avoid eye contact and repeated or prolonged skin contact.  When opening containers, remove top slowly to relieve any pressure build-up.  Do not transfer product to unmarked container.  Keep out of the reach of children.  For industrial use only.

Vapors of this product are heavier than air and will collect in low areas such as pits, degreasers, storage tanks, and other confined areas.  Do not enter these areas where vapors of this product are suspected unless special breathing apparatus is used and an observer is present for assistance.

Containers of this material may be hazardous when emptied.  Because emptied containers retain product residues (vapor, liquid and/or solid), all hazard precautions given in the data sheet must be observed.  Empty drums should be completely drained and properly returned to a drum reconditioned or properly disposed of.

Aluminum equipment should not be used for storage and/or transfer, (e.g. pumps, mixers, fittings, storage tanks, etc.).  Contact with aluminum parts in a pressurizable fluid system may cause violent reactions.

Any proposed use of this product in elevated temperature processes or in spray applications should be thoroughly evaluated to assure that safe operating conditions are established and maintained.

Storage:

Keep product containers cool, dry, and away from sources of ignition.  Use and store this product with adequate ventilation.  Keep product containers tightly closed when not in use.
