=====================  Hazards Identification  =====================

Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:No    IARC:No	OSHA:No
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:INHALATION: SHORT TERM EXPOSURE:
    irritation (possibly severe), difficulty breathing, lung congestion
    LONG TERM EXPOSURE: same as effects reported in short term exposure
    SKIN CONTACT: SHORT TERM EXPOSURE: irritation (possibly severe),
    frostbite LONG TERM EXPOSURE: same as effects reported in short
    term exposure EYE CONTACT: SHORT TERM EXPOSURE: irritation
    (possibly severe), blurred vision LONG TERM EXPOSURE: same as
    effects reported in short term exposure INGESTION: SHORT TERM
    EXPOSURE: burns LONG TERM EXPOSURE: same as effects reported in
    short term exposure
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:

=======================  First Aid Measures  =======================

First Aid: INHALATION: If adverse effects occur, remove to
    uncontaminated area. Give artificial respiration if not breathing.
    If breathing is difficult, oxygen should be administered by
    qualified personnel. Get immediate medical attention. SKIN CONTACT:
    Wash skin with soap and water for at least 15 minutes while
    removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Get immediate medical
    attention. Thoroughly clean and dry contaminated clothing and shoes
    before reuse. Destroy contaminated shoes. EYE CONTACT: Immediately
    flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Then get
    immediate medical attention. INGESTION: Contact local poison
    control center or physician immediately. Never make an unconscious
    person vomit or drink fluids. When vomiting occurs, keep head lower
    than hips to help prevent aspiration. If person is unconscious,
    turn head to side. Get medical attention. NOTE TO PHYSICIAN: For
    inhalation, consider oxygen.

=====================  Fire Fighting Measures  =====================

Flash Point:<0 F (<-18 C)
Autoignition Temp:721 F (383 C)
Lower Limits:3.5%
Upper Limits:14%
Extinguishing Media:regular dry chemical, carbon dioxide, water,
    regular foam, alcohol resistant foam Large fires: Use regular foam
    or flood with fine water spray.
Fire Fighting Procedures:Move container from fire area if it can be
    done without risk. Cool containers with water spray until well
    after the fire is out. Stay away from the ends of tanks. Withdraw
    immediately in case of rising sound from venting safety device or
    any discoloration of tanks due to fire. For tank, rail car or tank
    truck, evacuation radius: 800 meters (1/2 mile). Water may be
    ineffective.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:Severe fire hazard. The vapor is heavier
    than air. Vapors or gases may ignite at distant ignition sources
    and flash back. Vapor/air mixtures are explosive.

==================  Accidental Release Measures  ==================

Spill Release Procedures:Avoid heat, flames, sparks and other sources
    of ignition. Do not touch spilled material. Stop leak if possible
    without personal risk. Reduce vapors with water spray. Small
    spills: Absorb with sand or other non-combustible material. Collect
    spilled material in appropriate container for disposal. Large
    spills: Dike for later disposal. Remove sources of ignition. Keep
    unnecessary people away, isolate hazard area and deny entry. Notify
    Local Emergency Planning Committee and State Emergency Response
    Commission for release greater than or equal to RQ (U.S. SARA
    Section 304). If release occurs in the U.S. and is reportable under
    CERCLA Section 103, notify the National Response Center at
    (800)424-8802 (USA) or (202)426-2675 (USA).

======================	Handling and Storage  ======================

Handling and Storage Precautions:Store and handle in accordance with
    all current regulations and standards. Protect from physical
    damage. Store outside or in a detached building. Keep separated
    from incompatible substances. Avoid heat, flames, sparks and other
    sources of ignition. Store with flammable liquids. Keep separated
    from incompatible substances.
Other Precautions:

=============  Exposure Controls/Personal Protection  =============

Respiratory Protection:The following respirators and maximum use
    concentrations are drawn from NIOSH and/or OSHA. 250 ppm Any
    supplied-air respirator. Any powered, air-purifying respirator with
    cartridge(s) providing protection against this substance. 500 ppm
    Any chemical cartridge respirator with a full facepiece and
    cartridge(s) providing protection against this substance. Any
    air-purifying respirator with a full facepiece and a canister
    providing protection against this substance. Any self-contained
    breathing apparatus with a full facepiece. Any supplied-air
    respirator with a full facepiece. 600 ppm Any supplied-air
    respirator with a full facepiece that is operated in a
    pressure-demand or other positive-pressure mode. Escape - Any
    air-purifying respirator with a full facepiece and a canister
    providing protection against this substance. Any appropriate
    escape-type, self-contained breathing apparatus. For Unknown
    Concentrations or Immediately Dangerous to Life or Health - Any
    supplied-air respirator with full facepiece and operated in a
    pressure-demand or other positive-pressure mode in combination with
    a separate escape supply. Any self-contained breathing apparatus
    with a full facepiece.
Ventilation:Provide local exhaust ventilation system. Ventilation
    equipment should be explosion-resistant if explosive concentrations
    of material are present. Ensure compliance with applicable exposure
    limits.
Protective Gloves:Wear appropriate chemical resistant gloves.
Eye Protection:Wear splash resistant safety goggles with a faceshield.
    Provide an emergency eye wash fountain and quick drench shower in
    the immediate work area.
Other Protective Equipment:Wear appropriate chemical resistant
    clothing.
