Information concerning non-hazardous ingredients is considered a Trade Secret.
BOILING POINT: 200°C (392°F) SPECIFIC GRAVITY: (H2O=1): 0.867
COATING V.O.C.: N/A VAPOR DENSITY: Not available
EVAPORATION RATE: Not available SOLUBILITY IN WATER: Reacts slowly
APPEARANCE AND ODOR: Pale yellow liquid, amine like odor
FLASH POINT: 93°C (200°F) METHOD USED: TCC
FLAMMABLE LIMITS IN AIR BY VOLUME: Lower: N/E Upper: N/E
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Dry chemical, foam, carbon dioxide, water spray.
SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES: Burning will produce toxic fumes. Wear NIOSH approved self contained breathing apparatus in positive pressure mode with full-face piece. Boots, gloves (neoprene), goggles, and full protective clothing are also required. Excessive pressure or temperature may cause explosive rupture of containers.
UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS: Sudden reaction and fire may result when the product is exposed to oxidizing agents. Exposure to heat builds up pressure in closed containers. Cool with water spray.
STABILITY: Stable under normal conditions.
CONDITIONS TO AVOID: Heat, high temperature, open flame, sparks, and moisture.
INCOMPATIBILITY (MATERIALS TO AVOID): Strong oxidants; strong acids.
HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION OR BY-PRODUCTS: Burning will produce toxic fumes.
HAZARDOUS POLYMERIZATION: Will not occur.
SKIN CONTACT: Prolonged contact can cause chemical burn and scarring.
EYE CONTACT: Can induce irritation or chemical burns on contact with eyes.
SKIN ABSORPTION: Product may be absorbed through skin and cause nausea, headache, and general discomfort.
INGESTION: Irritation or chemical burns of the mouth, pharynx, esophagus and stomach can develop following ingestion, and injury may be severe.
INHALATION: Vapors can irritate eyes, nose and respiratory passages. Severe overexposure may induce respiratory sensitization with asthma like symptoms. Symptoms include chronic cough, tightness of chest with difficulty in breathing. These symptoms may be immediate or delayed up to several hours after exposure. Chronic exposures may result in permanent decreases in lung function.
HEALTH HAZARDS: ACUTE: Exposure may cause skin and eye irritation, respiratory tract irritation. Chemical burns may result due to overexposure. Affects of exposure may be delayed. CHRONIC: Repeated and prolonged exposure at low levels may result in adverse skin and eye effects, liver and kidney disorders.
CARCINOGENICITY: NTP: No IARC Monographs: No OSHA Regulated: No
MEDICAL CONDITIONS GENERALLY AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE: Cardiovascular disease, asthma or asthmatic bronchitis, skin allergies, chronic respiratory disease, sinusitis, headache, dizziness, eye diseases.
EMERGENCY AND FIRST AID PROCEDURES: EYE CONTACT: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water. After initial flushing, remove any contact lenses and continue flushing for at least 15 minutes. Have eyes examined and treated by medical personnel. INHALATION: Remove victim to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration, preferably mouth-to-mouth. If breathing is labored, give oxygen. Consult medical personnel. SKIN CONTACT: Wash material off the skin with plenty of soap and water. If redness, itching, or a burning sensation develops, get medical attention. Wash contaminated clothing and decontaminate footwear before reuse. INGESTION: Do not induce vomiting. Give 1 or 2 glasses of water to drink and refer person to medical personnel. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
STEPS TO BE TAKEN IN CASE MATERIAL IS RELEASED OR SPILLED: Wear skin, eye, and respiratory protection during cleanup. Soak up material with absorbent and shovel into a chemical waste container. Cover container, but do not seal, and remove from work area. Residues from spill cleanup may continue to be regulated under provisions of RCRA and require storage and disposal as hazardous waste. For major spills, call CHEMTREC (Chemical Transportation Emergency Center) at 800-424-9300.
WASTE DISPOSAL METHOD: Spill cleanup residues may still be subject to RCRA storage and disposal requirements. Dispose off in compliance with all relevant local, state, and federal laws and regulations regarding treatment.
PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN IN HANDLING AND STORING: Store in tightly sealed containers to protect from atmospheric moisture. Store in a cool dry area. The material is combustible; the combustion products may be hazardous. Do not expose this material to open flames.
OTHER PRECAUTIONS: Prevent skin and eye contact, observe TLV limitations. Avoid breathing vapors. Workers should shower and change to fresh clothing after each shift. Individuals with existing respiratory disease such as chronic bronchitis, emphysema, or asthma should not be exposed. These individuals should be identified through baseline and annual evaluation and removed from further exposure. Medical examination should include medical history, vital capacity, and forced expiratory volume at one second.
VENTILATION: Use local exhaust ventilation to keep airborne concentrations below the TLV. Follow guidelines in the ACGIH publication “Industrial Ventilation”.
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: If airborne concentrations exceed or are expected to exceed the TLV, use MSHA/NIOSH approved positive pressure supplied air respirator with a full face piece or an air supplied hood. For emergencies, use a positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus.
PROTECTIVE CLOTHING: Gloves determined to be impervious under the conditions of use should be worn always when working with this product. Depending on conditions of use, additional protection may be required such as apron, arm covers, or full body suit. Wash contaminated clothing before re-wearing. Protective clothing should be selected and used in accordance with "Guidelines for the Selection of Chemical Protective Clothing" published by ACGIH.
EYE PROTECTION: Chemical tight goggles and full-face shield.
OTHER PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT AND MEASURES: Unhindered access to safety shower and eye wash stations. As a general hygienic practice, wash hands and face after use. Showers and cleaning of clothes are recommended.
DOT PROPER SHIPPING NAME: Corrosive Liquid, N.O.S. (Contains Amine), Class 8, UN 1760, PG III.
