Acute Chronic Health Effects: Excessive exposure may cause irritation to upper respiratory tract. Excessive exposure may cause carboxyhemoglobinemia, thereby impairing the bloods ability to transport oxygen.
Primary Routes of Entry: X Inhalation X Skin X Ingestion
Effects of Overexposure: Eyes- may cause pain, moderate eye irritation and slight corneal injury. Vapors may irritate eyes.
Skin- May cause irritation, even a burn. Repeated contact may cause drying or flaking of the skin.
Inhalation- In confined or poorly ventilated areas, vapors can readily accumulate and cause unconsciousness and death.
Ingestion- Drowsiness, dizziness, headache
First Aid:
Eyes- Flush with water for 15 minutes. If irritation persists, get medical attention.
Inhalation- Move to fresh air. Get medical attention.
Ingestion- Do not induce vomiting. Get immediate medical attention.
Stability: Stable X
Conditions to Avoid: Hydrolysis producing small amounts of hydrochloric acid possible with gross water contamination. Avoid open flames, welding arcs, or other high temperature sources which induce thermal decomposition.
Incompatibility: Strong oxidizers; caustics, chemically active metals such as aluminum, magnesium and sodium.
Steps to take in case material is released or spilled: Use absorbent material and trash receptacle. Waste disposal method Federal and Local
regulations.
Respiratory Protection: Adequate ventilation.
Gloves (type): Neoprene
Eye Protection: Glasses (if required)
Other Protective Equipment: None
Precautions to be taken in handling and storing: read and follow all label directions. Do not store containers at temperatures over 120 F.
