Repeated exposure may cause kidney and liver damage. Skin contact may cause sensitization and an allergic skin reaction
in a small proportion of individuals. Because of its irritating properties, this material may aggravate an existing dermatitis.
Carcinogenic effects: Not available. Mutagenic effects: Not available. Teratogenic effects: Not available. Toxicity of the
product to the reproductive system: Not available. To the best of our knowledge the chronic toxicity of this substance has not
been fully investigated. Medical conditions which may be aggravated: Individuals with preexisting diseases of the skin, eye,
or respiratory system may be more susceptible to the toxicity of overexposure to this product.
Immediately flush eyes with copious quantities of water for at least 15 minutes holding lids apart to ensure flushing of the
entire surface. Call a physician.
Immediately flush skin with plenty of water and soap for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and
shoes. If irritation occurs or persists seek medical attention. Wash contaminated clothing before reusing.
Remove patient to fresh air. Administer approved oxygen supply if breathing is difficult. Administer artificial respiration or
CPR if breathing has ceased. Call a physician.
Acids, bases, oxidizing agents, aldehydes, ketones, acrylates, organic anhydrides, organic halides, copper and copper
alloys, zinc, iron, non-ferrous metals, maleic anhydride, acrolein, calcium hypochlorite, sodium hypochlorite, nitrosyl
perchlorate, nitrosating agents, nitrites.
(Synergistic products) Secondary and tertiary amines may react with nitrosating agents to form nitrosamines. Some
nitrosamines have been shown to be carcinogenic in laboratory animals. Hazardous polymerization will not occur.

Section VIII. Preventive Measures
Protective Clothing in
case of spill and leak
Spill and leak
Waste disposal
Storage and Handling
Wear self-contained breathing apparatus, rubber boots and heavy rubber gloves.
Evacuate the area. Absorb on sand or vermiculite and place in a closed container for disposal. Ventilate area and wash
spill site after material pick up is complete. DO NOT empty into drains. DO NOT touch damaged container or spilled
material.
Dissolve or mix the material with a combustible solvent and burn in a chemical incinerator equipped with an after burner
and scrubber. According to all applicable regulations.
Store in a cool place away from heated areas, sparks, and flame. Store in a well ventilated area. Store away from
incompatible materials. Do not add any other material to the container. Do not wash down the drain. Do not breathe
gas/fumes/vapor/spray. In case of insufficient ventilation, wear suitable respiratory equipment. Keep away from direct
sunlight or strong incandescent light. Keep container tightly closed and dry. Manipulate in a well ventilated area or under an
adequate fume hood. Product is highly hygroscopic. Empty containers may contain a hazardous residue. Handle and open
container with care. Take off immediately all contaminated clothing. This product must be manipulated by qualified
personnel. Do not get in eyes, on skin, or on clothing. Wash well after use. In accordance with good storage and handling
practices. Do not allow smoking and food consumption while handling. Keep above freezing point.

Splash goggles. Impervious (butyl PVC-coated) gloves, apron, coveralls, and/or other resistant protective clothing. Sufficient to protect skin. A
OSHA/MSHA jointly approved respirator is advised in the absence of proper environmental controls. If more than TLV, do not breathe vapor.
Wear self-contained breathing apparatus. Do not wear contact lenses. Make eye bath and emergency shower available. Ensure that eyewash
station and safety shower is proximal to the work-station location.
Engineering controls Use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to keep airborne levels below
recommended exposure limits. Do not use in unventilated spaces.
Special Precautions or Irritant! Harmful liquid! Do not breathe vapor. Avoid all contact with the product. Avoid
comments
prolonged or repeated exposure. Manipulate in a well ventilated area or under an adequate fume
hood. To the best of our knowledge, the chemical, physical and toxicity of this substance has
not been fully investigated. Handle and open container with care. Container should be opened
only by a technically qualified person. PROCESS HAZARD: Sudden release of hot organic
chemical vapors or mists from process equipment operating at elevated temperature and
pressure, or sudden ingress of air into vacuum equipment, may result in ignitions without the
presence of obvious ignition sources. Published "autoignition" and "ignition" temperature values
cannot be treated as safe operating temperatures in chemical processes without analysis of the
actual process conditions. Any use of this product in elevated-temperature processes should be
thoroughly evaluated to establish and maintain safe operating conditions.
NOTE TO PHYSICIAN: There is no specific antidote. Treatment of exposure should be directed
at the control of symptoms and the clinical condition of the patient. The hazards of this material
are due mainly to its severely irritant properties on skin and mucosal surfaces.
