Extinguishing Media– Fires involving this product are unlikely, but should one occur, it may be controlled by carbon dioxide, dry chemicals or water spray.

Special Fire Fighting Procedures– Pressure-demand, self-contained breathing apparatus should be provided for fire fighters in building or confined areas where product is stored.  Storage containers exposed to fire should be kept cool with a water spray, in order to prevent pressure buildup.

Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazard — At high temperatures, this product decomposes to give off hydrochloric acid gas plus other toxic and irritating vapors such as phosgene.  If storage containers are exposed to excessive heat, over-pressurization of containers can result.

Heath Hazards (Acute and Chronic) —

Acute: Excessive inhalation or ingestion may produce symptoms of central nervous system depression ranging from light headedness, to unconsciousness and death.  Overexpose may result in liver and kidney damage.  Exposure of the eyes and skin may produce irritation.  Animals exposed to high levels have shown cardiac sensitization.

Chronic: Can cause headache, mental confusion, depression, fatigue, loss of sense of balance, and visual disturbances.  Prolonged or repeated skin contact may cause dermatitis.

Signs and Symptoms of Exposure:

Eyes —An irritant of the eyes, causing pain, lacrimation and general inflammation.

Skin —Mildly irritating to skin.  Skin contact may produce a burning sensation.  Prolonged or repeated contact may cause skin to become reddened, rough, and dry due to the removal of natural oils and may result in dermatitis.  May be absorbed through the skin, although not expected to produce toxicity through this route.

Inhalation— Excessive inhalation may produce symptoms of central nervous system depression, ranging from light-headedness, nausea and vomiting, to unconsciousness and death.

Ingestion— May cause irritation of the gastrointestinal tract with vomiting.  If vomiting results in aspiration, chemical pneumonia may follow.  Absorption through the gastrointestinal tract may produce symptoms of central nervous system depression ranging from light headedness to unconsciousness.

Emergency and First Aid Procedures. 

Eyes— Irrigate with flowing water immediately and continuously for 15 minutes.  Consult medical personnel.

Skin—Wash off in flowing water or shower.

Inhalation—Remove to fresh air.  If not breathing, give artificial respiration.  If breathing is difficult, oxygen should be administered by qualified personnel.  Call a physician or transport to a medical facility.

Ingestion—Do not induce vomiting.  Call a physician and/or transport to emergency facility immediately.

Section VII – Precautions For Safe Handling and Use

Steps to be Taken in Case Material is Released or Spilled -

Leaks should be stopped.  Spills should be contained and cleaned up immediately.  Large Spills:  Should be removed by using a vacuum truck.  Smaller Spills:  May be soaked up with compatible absorbent materials which should then be placed in approved containers, labeled and stored in a safe place out of doors to await proper disposal.  The spill area should then be flushed with water.  All material should be removed and placed in approved containers to await proper treatment or disposal.  Persons performing clean up work should wear adequate personal protective equipment and clothing.

In Case of Fire — Use carbon dioxide, dry chemicals, water or foam.  Pressure-demand, self contained breathing apparatus should be provided for fire fighters.  At high temperatures, product decomposes to give off toxic and irritating gases such as phosgene and hydrochloric acid.  Cool fire exposed containers with water spray to prevent over-pressurization.

Waste Disposal Method –The materials resulting from clean up operations may be hazardous wastes and therefore, subject to specific regulations.   Package, store, transport and disposed of all clean up materials and any contaminated equipment in accordance with all applicable Federal, State, and local health and environmental regulations.

Precautions to be Taken in Handling and Storing –

Store drums in a cool place.  Ventilation should be provided at the floor level.  Do not store in pits, depressions, basements or unventilated areas.

Other Precautions – Containers, even those that have been emptied, will retain product residue and vapors.  Always obey hazard warnings and handle empty containers as if they were full.  Do not mix this product with other cleaning agents.  It is a violation of federal law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with its labeling.

Section VIII – Control Measures

Respiratory Protection (Specify Type) – In situations where vapor concentrations exceed the recommended exposure limits, a NIOSH approved organic vapor cartridge or air-supplying respirators should be worn.

Monitoring

Exposure

Biological:

No applicable procedures can be recommended

Personal/Area:Use NIOSH Analytical Method Number 1003 for halogenated hydrocarbons.

Protective Gloves –

Impervious gloves should be worn.

Eye Protection –Face shield and goggles or chemicals goggles should be worn.

Other protective Clothing or Equipment –Standard working clothes.

Work/Hygienic Practices – Observe good hygiene.  Wash hands thoroughly before eating or drinking, and after using restrooms, etc.
