Section 3 – Hazards Identification

Effects of Short Term Overexposure:

Ingestion:

Can cause gastrointestinal irritation, nausea, and vomiting.  Aspiration of material into the lungs may cause chemical pneumonitis, which can be fatal.

Inhalation:

May be FATAL if too much is breathed!  Preexisting heart conditions may be aggravated by exposure to methylene chloride.  Exposure to chlorinated solvents may result in liver, kidney, and heart sensitization.  Overexposure may cause unconsciousness and possible death.  May cause nose or throat irritation.  High concentrations may cause acute central nervous system depression with symptoms of dizziness, headache, nausea, confusion.  Reduces the blood’s oxygen-carrying capacity by the formation of carboxyhemoglobin.  Reduced blood oxygen levels may be harmful to users, especially those with existing heart disease.

Eye:

May cause eye irritation.

Skin:

May be absorbed through the skin in harmful amounts.  May cause severe skin irritation.

Effects of Repeated Overexposure:

None currently known

Significant Laboratory Data with Possible Relevance to Human Health:

Methylene chloride has been identified as a potential carcinogen by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC Group 2B – Probable Human Carcinogen) and as a substance “Reasonably Anticipated to be a Carcinogen” by the National Toxicology Program (NTP Group 2).  These classifications are based on animal studies (mice and rats) which indicated dose related incidences in lung, liver and mammary tumors.  Human epidemiological studies indicate that the potential carcinogenic effect of methylene chloride is dose dependent.  This is supported by the observation of an increased incidence of liver cancer subsequent to high exposure (140 – 470 ppm) in a film production plant.  Workers in another facility who were exposed to a much lower concentration (26 ppm) showed no increase in cause specific death.

The International Agency for Research on Cancer has classified propylene oxide as a probable carcinogen (Group 2B) based upon sufficient evidence from laboratory animal test data.

 

 

Section 4 – First Aid Measures

Ingestion:

If swallowed call Poison Control Center, Hospital Emergency Room or Physician immediately.

Inhalation:

Remove to fresh air immediately.  If breathing has stopped, give artificial respiration.  Keep warm and quiet.  Get medical attention immediately.

Eye:

Flush with large amounts of water, lifting upper and lower lids occasionally.  Continue for at least 15 minutes.  Get medical attention.

Skin Contact:

Remove contaminated clothing.  Wash affected area with soap and water.  Obtain medical attention if irritation persists.

Note to Physician:

Do not give stimulants.  Epinephrine or ephedrine may adversely affect the heart with fatal results.

 

 

Section 5 – Fire Fighting Measures

NFPA Flammability Classification:

Not applicable

Flashpoint:

Not applicable

Extinguishing Media:

None should be needed.

Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards:

This product contains halogenated hydrocarbons; contact with aluminum may cause violent reaction and/or explosion.

Manufacturers of methylene chloride report no flash point using the TOC, TCC, and COC methods.  However, it is known that methylene chloride does have a flammable range: 14% (LFL) and 22% (UFL) at 25° C.  These represent very high concentrations that would present very serious employee exposures relative to OSHA and ACGIH standards.  Due to the lack of a typical flashpoint, some confusion exists regarding the assignment of HMIS flammability ratings.  Some suppliers have suggested that a flammability rating of 1 should be assigned to methylene chloride.  Others suggest that the lack of a true flashpoint requires that a zero flammability rating be assigned.  Prevent circumstances which would result in methylene chloride concentrations within the flammable range as well as exposure of liquid or vapor to sources of ignition.  Please keep in mind that the presence of other flammable substances in this or other product mixtures may alter the flashpoint and increase the flash fire risk and the HMIS flammability rating.

Special Fire Fighting Procedures:

None known.

 

 

Section 6 – Accidental Release Measures

Steps to be Taken if Material is Released or Spilled:

The use of a NIOSH/MSHA approved, tc19c, air–supplied breathing apparatus may be required.  Consult with a qualified occupational health and/or safety professional.

Wear respirators, eye, hand, and body protection appropriate for the size of the spill and the exposures encountered.

Waste Disposal:

Dispose in accordance with federal, state and local regulations.

Environmental Hazards:

None known

 

 

Section 7 – Handling and Storage

Precautions to be Taken in Handling and Storage:

None likely to be needed.

Other Precautions:

This product is intended to be used only by the professional (industrial) applicator under properly controlled condition.  A qualified occupational health professional should evaluate exposures to this product. 

The use of this product in confined areas may result in dangerous airborne concentrations.  This may cause the serious health effects described in Section 3 of this MSDS.

 

 

Section 8 – Exposure Controls, Personal Protection

Respiratory Protection:

If the TLV or PEL for the product or any component is exceeded in the workplace air (see Section 2), a NIOSH/OSHA approved respirator is advised.  Engineering controls should be implemented to reduce exposure.  See 29 CFR 1910.1052 for specific OSHA requirements for employee exposure to methylene chloride.

Ventilation:

Provide general dilution and local exhaust ventilation in sufficient volume and pattern to keep concentrations of hazardous ingredients listed in Section 2 below the lowest exposure limit stated.  Remove decomposition products that are generated when welding, cutting, or brazing objects coated with this product.  Refer to “Industrial Ventilation – A Manual of Recommended Practice” ACGIH.

Hand Protection:

Wear appropriate impermeable gloves (North - Silver Shield).

Eye Protection:

Wear safety glasses meeting the specifications of ANSI z87.1 where no contact with the eye is anticipated.  Chemical safety goggles meeting the specifications of ANSI z87.1 should be worn whenever there is a possibility of splashing or other contact with the eyes.

Other Protective Equipment:

Eyewash facility, safety shower.
