SECTION 2: Composition and Information on Ingredients
Ingredient CAS Number Percent ACGIH (TWA) OSHA (PEL)
Title Compound 558-13-4 100 0.1ppm no data
SECTION 3: Hazards Identification
Emergency Overview: Irritating to skin, eyes and respiratory tract. Harmful by inhalation, in contact with skin and if swallowed.
Primary Routes of Exposure: Ingestion, inhalation
Eye Contact: Causes irritation to the eyes.
Skin Contact: Causes slight to mild irritation of the skin. Harmful in contact with skin.
Inhalation: Harmful by inhalation. Inhalation of dust or vapor leads to irritation of the respiratory tract and may induce a narcotic effect.
Ingestion: Harmful if swallowed. Toxic in animal studies.
Acute Health Effects: Irritating to skin, eyes and respiratory tract. May behave as an anesthetic if inhaled, causing drowsiness.
Chronic Health Effects: No information available on long-term chronic effects. Prolonged exposure is likely to cause nervous disorders.
NTP: No
IARC: No
OSHA: No
SECTION 4: First Aid Measures
Eye Exposure: Immediately flush the eyes with copious amounts of water for at least 10-15 minutes. A victim may need assistance in keeping their eye lids open. Get immediate medical attention.
Skin Exposure: Wash the affected area with water. Remove contaminated clothes if necessary. Seek medical assistance if irritation persists.
Inhalation: Remove the victim to fresh air. Closely monitor the victim for signs of respiratory problems, such as difficulty in breathing, coughing, wheezing, or pain. In such cases seek immediate medical assistance.
Ingestion: Seek medical attention immediately. Keep the victim calm. Give the victim water (only if conscious). Induce vomiting only if directed by medical personnel.
SECTION 5: Fire Fighting Measures
Flash Point: none
Autoignition Temperature: none
Explosion Limits: none
Extinguishing Medium: none required
Special Fire Fighting Procedures: No special fire fighting procedures required.
