3. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
Emergency Overview: Clear oily liquid; may be irritating to mucous membranes and eyes. Normally not irritating to, nor absorbed through, skin.
Potential Health Effects: High vapor concentration may be irritating to nose, throat, lungs and eyes.
Eye Contact: Irritating, but no permanent damage, if washed out from eyes promptly with water.
Skin Contact: May be mildly irritating to skin.
Ingestion: DO NOT INGEST.
Chronic: ND
4. FIRST AID MEASURES
Inhalation: Remove victim to fresh air; give artificial respiration if breathing has stopped. Get medical attention promptly.
Eye Contact: Flush eyes with large amounts of water until irritation subsides. If irritation persists, get medical attention.
Skin Contact: Wash thoroughly with soap and water. Remove contaminated clothing and launder before reuse. If irritation persists, get medical attention.
Ingestion: If swallowed, do not induce vomiting; get prompt medical attention.
5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Flash Point: 403F COC
General Hazard: Uniplex BCHP will burn if involved in fire. Carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide will be formed upon combustion.
Fire Fighting Instructions: Extinguish with water spray, CO2, dry chemical, foam or earth/sand/mud. DO NOT USE DIRECT WATER STREAM as material will be spread - - - treat as burning oil.
Hazardous Combustion Products: Carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Land Spill: Contain spill and pump/shovel into containers for disposal. Avoid run-off into streams, sewers and storm drains. Contain small spills and absorb with an inert material such as sand, mud, earth or vermiculite.
Water Spill: Remove from water surface by skimming or with suitable absorbents such as straw. Dam below spill and pump material from the bottom of the stream/water.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Storage Temperature: Ambient Storage Pressure: Ambient
General: General warehousing conditions are satisfactory for this material, however some crystallization may occur. The product should be warmed and stirred before use.
8. EXPOSURE CONTROL/PERSONAL PROTECTION
Engineering Controls: Local exhaust ventilation is recommended to keep exposure below limits - see Section 2 for exposure guidelines.
Personal Protection: If concentrations are over exposure limits - use OSHA approved respirator.
Respirator: Use OSHA approved respirator if concentrations are above exposure limits - see Section 2.
Protective Clothing: Splash proof goggles and vinyl or rubber gloves. Exercise good chemical handling practice.
