| SECTION 3: Hazards Identification | |
|---|---|
| Emergency Overview: | Extremely flammable liquid. Vapors irritating to eyes and respiratory tract and may depress central nervous system causing dizziness, headache and nausea. Liquid may cause thermal burns to skin and eyes. |
| Primary Routes of Exposure: | Eyes, skin, and inhalation of combustion products. |
| Eye Contact: | Direct contact of liquid with the eyes will cause irritation. May cause thermal burns and possible blindness. |
| Skin Contact: | Irritating to skin. Residue upon evaporation of hexane may burst into flame causing thermal burns. |
| Inhalation: | Inhalation of vapors may depress the central nervous system causing dizziness, difficulty in walking, and irritation to the lungs. |
| Ingestion: | Ingestion may cause gastrointestinal irritation, nausea, vomiting and headache. |
| Acute Health Effects: | Irritation to skin, eyes and respiratory tract. Ingestion may cause gastrointestinal irritation, nausea, vomiting and headache. Possible risk of harm to the unborn child. |
| Chronic Health Effects: | Possible risk of impaired fertility. Prolonged inhalation may cause laryngitis. Prolonged ingestion may cause constipation. |
| 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. |
