Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:ACUTE: INHALE: VAPORS CAN IRRITATE THE
    RESPIRATORY TRACT. DEATH CAN OCCUR FROM RESPIRATORY AND CIRCULATORY
    FAILURE. INGEST: CAUSES IRRITATION TO THE GASTROINTESTINAL TRACT.
    DOSES OF 0.5 - 1.0 GRAM/KG	CAN BE FATAL. SKIN: CAUSE IRRITATION,
    RASH AND BLISTER FORMATION. PROLONGED CONTACT CAN CAUSE SKIN BURNS.
    EYE: VAPORS CAUSE EYE IRRITATION. SPLASHES CAUSE SEVERE IRRITATION,
    POSSIBLE CORNEAL BURNS. CH RONIC: TARGET ORGANS: LIVER, KIDNEY,
    CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM, AND CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM.
Effects of Overexposure:SYMPTOMS INCLUDE HEADACHE, WEAKNESS, CYANOSIS,
    NAUSEA, VOMITING, AND DIARRHEA.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:PERSONS WITH PRE-EXISTING SKIN
    DISORDERS OR EYE PROBLEMS, OR IMPAIRED LIVER, KIDNEY,
    CARDIOVASCULAR, NEUROLOGICAL OR RESPIRATORY FUNCTION MAY BE MORE
    SUSCEPTIBLE TO THE EFFECTS OF THE SUBSTANCE.

=======================  First Aid Measures  =======================

First Aid:INHALE: REMOVE TO FRESH AIR. IF NOT BREATHING, GIVE
    ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION. IF BREATHING IS DIFFICULT, GIVE OXYGEN.
    CALL A PHYSICIAN. INGEST: DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. GIVE LARGE
    QUANTITIES OF WATER. NE VER GIVE ANYTHING BY MOUTH TO AN
    UNCONSCIOUS PERSON. GET MEDICAL HELP. SKIN: WASH SKIN  WITH SOAP OR
    MILD DETERGENT AND WATER FOR AT LEAST 15 MINUTES WHILE REMOVING
    CONTAMINATED CLOTHING AND SHOES. WA SH CLOTHES BEFORE REUSE. EYE:
    FLUSH WITH PLENTY OF WATER FOR AT LEAST 15 MINUTES, LIFTING LOWER
    AND UPPER EYELIDS OCCASIONALLY. GET MEDICAL HELP.

Autoignition Temp:=412.8C, 775.F
Lower Limits:6.2
Upper Limits:15.9
Extinguishing Media:DRY CHEMICAL, FOAM OR CARBON DIOXIDE. WATER SPRAY
    MAY BE USED TO KEEP FIRE EXPOSED CONTAINERS COOL, DILUTE SPILLS TO
    NON-FLAMMABLE MIXTURES, PROTECT PERSONNEL STOPPING LEAKS & VAPORS
Fire Fighting Procedures:IN THE EVENT OF A FIRE, WEAR FULL PROTECTIVE
    CLOTHING & NIOSH-APPROVED SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS WITH
    FULL FACEPIECE OPERATED IN THE PRESSURE DEMAND OR OTHER POSITIVE
    PRESSURE MODE. COMBUSTIO N BY-PRODUCTS INCLUDE PHOSGENE & HYDROGEN
    CHLORIDE GASES.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:ABOVE FLASH POINT, VAPOR-AIR MIXTURES ARE
    EXPLOSIVE WITHIN FLAMMABLE LIMITS NOTED ABOVE. SEALED CONTAINERS
    MAY RUPTURE WHEN HEATED. CONTACT W/STRONG OXIDIZERS MAY CAUSE FIRE.
    VAPORS CAN FLOW ALONG SUR FACES TO DISTANT IGNITION SOURCE & FLASH
    BACK. SENSITIVE TO STATIC DISCHARGE.

==================  Accidental Release Measures  ==================

Spill Release Procedures:VENTILATE AREA OF LEAK OR SPILL. REMOVE ALL
    SOURCES OF IGNITION. WEAR APPROPRIATE CLOTHING. COLLECT LIQUID IN
    AN APPROPRIATE CONTAINER OR ABSORB WITH AN INERT MATERIAL, AND
    PLACE IN A CHEMICAL WASTE C ONTAINER. DO NOT FLUSH TO SEWER.

======================	Handling and Storage  ======================

Handling and Storage Precautions:PORTECT AGAINST PHYSICAL DAMAGE. STORE
    IN A COOL, DRY, WELL-VENTILATED LOCATION, AWAY FROM ANY AREA WHERE
    FIRE HAZARD MAY BE ACUTE. OUTSIDE OR DETACHED STORAGE IS PREFERRED.
    USE NON SPARKING TYPE OF T OOLS. WASH HANDS BEFORE EATING,
    DRINKING, AND SMOKING.
Other Precautions:CONTAINERS OF THIS MATERIAL MAY BE HAZARDOUS WHEN
    EMPTY SINCE THEY RETAIN PRODUCT RESIDUES.

=============  Exposure Controls/Personal Protection  =============

Respiratory Protection:IF THE EXPOSURE LIMIT IS EXCEEDED, WEAR A
    SUPPLIED AIR, FULL-FACEPIECE RESPIRATOR, AIRLINED HOOD, OR
    FULL-FACEPIECE SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS. THIS SUBSTANCE
    HAS POOR WARNING PROPERTIES.
Ventilation:A SYSTEM OF LOCAL &/OR GENERAL EXHAUST IS RECOMMENDED TO
    KEEP EMPLOYEE EXPOSURES BELOW THE AIRBORNE EXPOSURE LIMITS.
Protective Gloves:IMPERVIOUS GLOVES.
Eye Protection:USE CHEMICAL SAFETY GOGGLES &/OR FULL FACE SHIELD WHERE
    SPLASHING IS POSSIBLE.
Other Protective Equipment:MAINTAIN EYE WASH FOUNTAIN & QUICK-DRENCH
    FACILITIES IN WORK AREA. WEAR IMPERVIOUS PROTECTIVE CLOTHING,
    INCLUDING BOOTS, GLOVES, LAB COAT, APRON OR COVERALLS, AS
    APPROPRIATE, TO PREVENT SKIN CONTACT.
Work Hygienic Practices:POLYVINYL ALCOHOL (PVA) & VITON ARE RECOMMENDED
    MATERIALS FOR PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT.
Supplemental Safety and Health
LOCAL EXHAUST VENTILATION IS GENERALLY PREFERRED BECAUSE IT CAN CONTROL
    THE EMISSIONS OF THE CONTAMINANT AT ITS SOURCE, PREVENTING
    DISPERSION OF IT INTO THE GENERAL WORK AREA. PLEASE REFER TO THE
    ACGI H DOCUMENT, INDUSTRIAL VENTILATION, A MANUAL OF RECOMMENDED
    PRACTICES, MOST RECENT EDITION, FOR DETAILS.
