HANDLING PROCEDURES
ACUTE/CHRONIC HAZARDS:
Corrosive; Lachrymator.
MINIMUM PROTECTIVE CLOTHING:
If Tyvek-type disposable protective clothing is not worn during
handling of this chemical, wear disposable Tyvek-type sleeves taped to
your gloves.
RECOMMENDED GLOVE MATERIALS:
Permeation data indicate that butyl rubber gloves may provide pro-
tection to contact with this compound. Butyl rubber over latex gloves
is recommended. However, if this chemical makes direct contact with
your gloves, or if a tear, hole or puncture develops, remove them at once.
RECOMMENDED RESPIRATOR:
When working with this chemical, wear a NIOSH-approved full face
chemical cartride respirator equipped with the appropriate organic vapor
cartridges. If that is not available, a half face respirator similarly
equipped plus airtight goggles can be substituted. However, please note
that half face respirators provide a substantially lower level of protection
than do full face respirators.
OTHER: Not available
STORAGE PRECAUTIONS:
You should store this material in a refrigerator.
SPILLS AND LEAKAGE:
If you should spill this chemical, use absorbent paper to pick
up all liquid spill material. Your contaminated clothing and absorb-
ent paper should be sealed in a vapor-tight plastic bag for eventual
disposal. Solvent wash all contaminated surfaces with acetone followed
by washing with a strong soap and water solution. Do not reenter the
contaminated area until the Safety Officer (or other responsible person)
has verified that the area has been properly cleaned.
DISPOSAL AND WASTE TREATMENT:
You should dispose of all waste and contaminated materials
associated with this chemical as specified by existing local,
state and federal regulations concerning hazardous waste disposal.
It is suggested that your contaminated materials should be destroyed
by incineration in a special, high temperature ( >2000 degrees F),
chemical incinerator facility.
EMERGENCY PROCEDURES
SKIN CONTACT:
IMMEDIATELY flood affected skin with water while removing and isolating
all contaminated clothing. Gently wash all affected skin areas thoroughly
with soap and water.
IMMEDIATELY call a hospital or poison control center even if no symptoms
(such as redness or irritation) develop.
IMMEDIATELY transport the victim to a hospital for treatment after
washing the affected areas.
INHALATION:
IMMEDIATELY leave the contaminated area; take deep breaths of fresh air.
If symptoms (such as wheezing, coughing, shortness of breath, or burning in
the mouth, throat, or chest) develop, call a physician and be prepared to
transport the victim to a hospital.
Provide proper respiratory protection to rescuers entering an unknown
atmosphere. Whenever possible, Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA)
should be used; if not available, use a level of protection greater than or
equal to that advised under Respirator Recommendation.
EYE CONTACT:
First check the victim for contact lenses and remove if present. Flush
victim's eyes with water or normal saline solution for 20 to 30 minutes while
simultaneously calling a hospital or poison control center.
Do not put any ointments, oils, or medication in the victim's eyes without
specific instructions from a physician.
IMMEDIATELY transport the victim after flushing eyes to a hospital even if
no symptoms (such as redness or irritation) develop.
INGESTION:
DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. Corrosive chemicals will destroy the membranes
of the mouth, throat, and esophagus and, in addition, have a high risk of
being aspirated into the victim's lungs during vomiting which increases the
medical problems.
If the victim is conscious and not convulsing, give 1 or 2 glasses of
water to dilute the chemical and IMMEDIATELY call a hospital or poison control
center. IMMEDIATELY transport the victim to a hospital.
If the victim is convulsing or unconscious, do not give anything by mouth,
ensure that the victim's airway is open and lay the victim on his/her side with
the head lower than the body. DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. Transport the victim
IMMEDIATELY to a hospital.
SYMPTOMS: Not available
FIREFIGHTING:
To extinguish a fire involving this chemical you may use a dry
chemical, carbon dioxide, foam or halon extinguisher; a water spray
may also be used.
