| SECTION 3: HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION | |
RED LIQUID WITH A SLIGHT UNPLEASANT ODOR.
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW:
CORROSIVE MATERIAL. MAY CAUSE A SLIGHT FIRE HAZARD. LIQUID CAUSES BURNS TO
THE EYES AND SKIN. VAPORS ARE IRRITATING AND MAY BE HARMFUL. MAY CAUSE
NARCOSIS AND OTHER CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM EFFECTS.
EU PREPARATION CLASSIFICATION (1999/45/EC): CORROSIVE (C) R22, R35
| SECTION 4: FIRST AID | |
EYE CONTACT:
IMMEDIATELY FLUSH WITH COPIOUS AMOUNTS OF WATER FOR AT LEAST 30 MINUTES,
LIFTING THE UPPER AND LOWER LIDS. GET IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION.
SKIN CONTACT:
IMMEDIATELY FLUSH WITH WATER FOR 30 MINUTES WHILE REMOVING ANY CONTAMINATED
CLOTHING. WASH THOROUGHLY WITH SOAP AND WATER. GET MEDICAL ATTENTION.
INHALATION:
IF ACUTE OVEREXPOSURE OCCURS, REMOVE VICTIM TO FRESH AIR. GIVE ARTIFICIAL
RESPIRATION IF NEEDED. GET IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION.
INGESTION:
DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. DO NOT GIVE ANYTHING BY MOUTH TO A PERSON WHO IS
UNCONSCIOUS OR CONVULSING. IMMEDIATELY DILUTE WITH 1-2 GLASSES OF WATER. GET
IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION.
| SECTION 5: FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD DATA | |
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: USE FOAM, DRY CHEMICAL OR WATER SPRAY.
SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES:
FIREFIGHTERS SHOULD WEAR NIOSH APPROVED POSITIVE PRESSURE SELF CONTAINED
BREATHING APPARATUS AND FULL PROTECTIVE CLOTHING FOR ALL FIRES INVOLVING
CHEMICALS.
UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS:
ISOOCTYL ALCOHOL HAS A FLASH POINT OF 161 DEG. F AND IS INSOLUBLE IN WATER.
ONLY A SMALL AMOUNT IS PRESENT (<5%) SO ONLY A SLIGHT FIRE HAZARD EXISTS.
THE BALANCE IS NOT COMBUSTIBLE.
HAZARDOUS COMBUSTION PRODUCTS:
REACTION WITH METALS CAN LIBERATE FLAMMABLE HYDROGEN GAS. THERMAL
DECOMPOSITION MAY YIELD OXIDES OF CARBON AND POTASSIUM.
| SECTION 6: ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES | |
WEAR RECOMMENDED PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT. (SEE SECTION 8) CONTAIN SPILL. DILUTE
SPILL WITH WATER AND NEUTRALIZE WITH DILUTE ACETIC ACID. ABSORB WITH AN
INERT ABSORBENT AND PLACE INTO A CHEMICAL WASTE CONTAINER FOR DISPOSAL. DO
NOT FLUSH TO THE SEWER. REPORT SPILL AS REQUIRED BY LOCAL AND FEDERAL
REGULATIONS. REFER TO SECTION 13 FOR DISPOSAL INFORMATION.
| SECTION 7: HANDLING AND STORAGE | |
WORK PRACTICES:
PREVENT CONTACT WITH THE EYES, SKIN AND CLOTHING. AVOID BREATHING VAPORS.
WHEN FLUID IS USED IN INSTRUMENT (FYRITE), DO NOT VENT IN INVERTED POSITION
OR BEFORE THE FLUID HAS DRAINED FROM THE TOP WELL OF THE FYRITE. HOLD THE
FYRITE AWAY FROM THE FACE WHEN VENTING INSTRUMENT. USE IN A WELL VENTILATED
AREA.
SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS:
ALWAYS CHANGE FYRITE FLUID IN THE IMMEDIATE VICINITY OF A SINK WITH RUNNING
WATER AVAILABLE IN CASE OF CONTACT BECAUSE OF THE CORROSIVE EFFECT OF FYRITE
FLUID. DO NOT DISPOSE OF FLUID DOWN DRAIN.
STORAGE:
STORE IN A COOL, DRY PLACE, SEPARATE FROM ACID AND OXIDIZER STORAGE. AVOID
CRUSHING CONTAINERS.
