EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
PHYSICAL APPEARANCE:
IMMEDIATE CONCERNS:
May decompose on contact with flames or extremely hot metal surfaces to produce toxic and corrosive products.
POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS
Liquid contact can cause irritation, which may be severe.
EYES:
Prolonged or repeated contact can result in defatting and drying of the skin which may result in skin irritation and dermatitis
SKIN:
(rash).
INHALATION:
death with longer exposure. Keep people away from such vapors without self-contained breathing apparatus.
SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF OVEREXPOSURE
Can cause severe eye irritation.
EYES:
Exposure to rapidly expanding gas or vaporizing liquid may cause frostbite ("cold" burn).
SKIN:
INHALATION:
loss of consciousness).
ACUTE TOXICITY:
arrhythmia may result.
High concentrations in immediate area can displace oxygen and can cause dizziness, unconsciousness, and possibly
High concentrations may lead to central nervous system effects (drowsiness, dizziness, nausea, headaches, paralysis and
4. FIRST AID MEASURES
Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water. Get medical attention, if irritation persists.
EYES:
In case of cold burns (frostbite) caused by rapidly expanding gas or vaporizing liquids, get medical attention promptly.
SKIN:
Clear, Colorless, Volatile Liquid
Warning! High concentrations of vapor can reduce oxygen available for breathing. Harmful if inhaled.
Overexposure may cause dizziness and loss of concentration. At higher levels, CNS depression and cardiac
