victim unattended. Seek immediate medical attention if necessary.
Ingestion:
Do not induce vomiting unless directed by a physician. Give 2 glasses of water
or milk.
During vomiting there is a danger of aspirating liquid into lungs, causing serious
damage and chemical pneumonitis. If spontaneous vomiting occurs keep head
below hips to prevent aspiration and monitor for breathing difficulty. Gastric
lavage should be performed only by qualified medical personnel. Keep affected
person warm and at rest. Seek immediate medical attention.
Other:
Not applicable.
SECTION 5
FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Flash point:
79°C (175°F) by ASTM D 92 (COC).
Flammable limits:
Not determined.
Extinguishing media:
Use water spray, dry chemical, alcohol foam, all purpose AFFF or carbon
dioxide to extinguish fire.
Special firefighting
procedures:
Evacuate area and fight fire from a safe distance. If leak or spill has not ignited,
ventilate area and use water spray to disperse gas or vapor and to protect
personnel attempting to stop a leak.
Use water spray to cool adjacent structures and to protect personnel. Shut off
source of flow if possible (safely). Stay away from storage tank ends.
Withdraw immediately in case of rising sound from venting safety device or any
discoloration of storage tank due to fire.
Fire fighters must wear MSHA/NIOSH approved positive pressure breathing
apparatus (SCBA) with full face mask and full protective equipment.
Unusual fir
e &
explosion hazards:
Dense smoke may be generated while burning. Toxic fumes, gases or vapors
may evolve on burning. High temperatures may create heavy flammable
vapors that may settle along ground level and low spots to create an invisible
fire hazard.
Byproducts of
combustion:
Fires involving this product may release oxides of carbon, nitrogen and sulfur;
reactive hydrocarbons and irritating vapors.
Autoignition
temperature:
Not determined.
Explosion da
ta:
Not determined. Care should always be exercised in dust/mist areas.
Other:
Not applicable.
SECTION 6
ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Spill control
procedures (land):
Immediately turn off or isolate any source of ignition (pilot lights, electrical
equipment, flames, heaters, etc.). Evacuate area and ventilate. Personnel
wearing proper protective equipment should contain spill immediately with inert
materials (sand, earth, chemical spill pads of cotton) by forming dikes. Dikes
should be placed to contain spill in a manner that will prevent material from
entering sewers and waterways. Large spill, once contained, may be picked up
using explosion proof, non-sparking vacuum pumps, shovels, or buckets, and
disposed of in suitable containers for disposal. If a large spill occurs notify
appropriate authorities. In case of road spill or accident contact Chem-Trec
(800-424-9300).
Spill control
procedures (water):
Try to contain large spills with floating booms to prevent spill from spreading.
Remove from surface by skimming or with suitable adsorbents. If a large spill
occurs notify appropriate authorities (normally the National Response Center or
Coast Guard at 800-424-8802).
Waste disposal
method:
Most oil based products are incinerated, land-filled or reclaimed. All disposals
