| SECTION 3: Hazards Identification | |
|---|---|
| Emergency Overview: | The liquid irritates the skin, eyes and respiratory system. Moisture will produce titanium oxide powder and n-butanol vapor which may cause severe eye irritation and drowsiness. May be harmful if swallowed. |
| Primary Routes of Exposure: | Inhalation, ingestion, contact with skin and eyes. |
| Eye Contact: | If liquid contacts the eye, irritating titanium oxide may form n-butanol vapor from hydrolyzed product may cause eye irritation. |
| Skin Contact: | Dehydrating agent. Liquid causes mild irritation of the skin. |
| Inhalation: | Irritating to the respiratory tract. May cause headache, dizziness and drowsiness. |
| Ingestion: | Ingestion may cause gastrointestinal distress, nausea, vomiting and headache. |
| Acute Health Effects: | No data is available for this product. Titanium oxide hydrolysis product exhibits low toxicity. n-butanol causes severe eye irritation, drowsiness, and gastrointestinal distress. |
| Chronic Health Effects: | No data is available for this product. In animal studies, n-butanol in high doses has acted as a reproductive effector. |
| 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: | 170°F |
| Autoignition Temperature: | no data |
| Explosion Limits: | no data |
| Extinguishing Medium: | carbon dioxide, dry powder or foam. |
| Special Fire Fighting Procedures: | If this product is involved in a fire, firefighters should be equipped with NIOSH approved positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus. |
| Hazardous Combustion and Decomposion Products: | If involved in a fire this material may emit toxic organic fumes and titanium dust. |
| Unusual Fire or Explosion Hazards: | Combustible liquid. No unusual fire or explosion hazard. |
| SECTION 6: Accidental Release Measures | |
|---|---|
| Spill and Leak Procedures: | Small spills can be absorbed into vermiculite or other suitable adsorbent. Sweep up the material and dispose of properly. |
| SECTION 7: Handling and Storage | |
|---|---|
| Handling and Storage: | Store in a tightly sealed container in a dry place. If container is left open, product may absorb moisture from the atmosphere and release n-butanol vapor. |
| SECTION 8: Exposure Controls and Personal Protection | |
|---|---|
| Eye Protection: | Always wear approved safety glasses when handling a chemical substance in the laboratory. |
| Skin Protection: | Wear protective clothing and gloves. |
| Ventilation: | Material may form a vapor upon exposure to air. If possible, handle the material in an efficient fume hood. |
| Respirator: | If ventilation is not available a respirator should be worn. The use of respirators requires a Respiratory Protection Program to be in compliance with 29 CFR 1910.134. |
| Additional Protection: | No additional protection required. |
