| SECTION 3: Hazards Identification | |
|---|---|
| Emergency Overview: | Inhalation may cause dizziness and headache. Very irritating to eyes, skin and mucous membranes. Hydrolysis may produce toxic and corrosive diethylamine |
| Primary Routes of Exposure: | Eye, skin ingestion and inhalation |
| Eye Contact: | Causes mild to severe irritation of the eyes. |
| Skin Contact: | Causes mild to severe irritation of the skin. Diethylamine, a hydrolysis product, is alkaline and corrosive. |
| Inhalation: | Irritating to the nose, mucous membranes and respiratory tract. |
| Ingestion: | Irritating to mouth, throat and stomach. No information available on the physiological effects of ingestion. |
| Acute Health Effects: | Irritation to skin, eyes and mucous membranes. Contact with moisture may produce heat and toxic corrosive diethylamine. |
| Chronic Health Effects: | Inhalation of zirconium compounds as dust may cause pulmonary granulomas. |
| 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 will need assistance in keeping their eye lids open. Get immediate medical attention. |
| Skin Exposure: | Wash the affected area immediately with water. Remove contaminated clothing 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 if directed by medical personnel. |
| SECTION 5: Fire Fighting Measures | |
|---|---|
| Flash Point: | not applicable |
