3. HAZARDS
IDENTIFICATION
Emergency
Overview: Clear viscous liquid may be irritating to mucous
membranes, skin and eyes. Combustible
liquid.
Potential
Health Effects: High vapor concentrations are irritating to nose,
throat, lungs, skin and eyes.
Eye
Contact: Irritating to eyes.
Symptoms may include stinging, tearing, redness and swelling.
Skin
Contact: May cause mild irritation.
Prolonged or repeated exposure may dry the skin.
Symptoms include redness, burning, drying and cracking of skin.
Skin absorption is possible, but harmful effects are not expected from
this route of exposure under normal use conditions.
Ingestion: DO NOT INGEST.
Single dose oral toxicity is low.
Swallowing small amount during normal handling is not likely to cause
harmful effects; swallowing large amounts may be harmful.
Chronic: Butyl Acetate has been shown to cause harm to the
fetus in laboratory animal studies. Harm
to the fetus occurs only at exposure levels that harm the pregnant animal.
The relevance
to these findings to humans is uncertain.
This material is not listed as a carcinogen by IARC, NTP or OSHA.
4.
FIRST AID MEASURES
Inhalation: If symptoms develop, move individual away from
exposure and into fresh air. Seek
immediate medical attention; keep person warm and quiet.
If person is not breathing, begin artificial respiration.
If breathing is difficult, administer oxygen.
Eye
Contact: Flush eyes gently with water for at least 15
minutes while holding eyelids apart. If
symptoms persist, seek medical attention.
Skin
Contact: Remove contaminated clothing.
Wash exposed area with soap and water.
Sticky residues may be removed with rubbing alcohol.
If symptoms persist, seek medical attention.
Ingestion: Give individual two glasses of milk or water to
drink. If symptoms develop, seek
medical attention.
5.
FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Flash
Point: 130°F (54.4°C) Cleveland Open
Cup. Combustible Liquid
General
Hazard: Under fire conditions, toxic fumes of oxides of
carbon and nitrogen may be formed.
Fire
Fighting Instructions: Extinguishing media-- water fog or spray, dry chemical,
alcohol foam, foam, or earth/mud. Formaldehyde
vapors may be released on burning—wear self-contained breathing apparatus.
Hazardous
Combustion Products
: Vapors are heavier
than air; flashbacks may occur.
6.
ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Land
Spill: Small spill-absorb liquid on vermiculite or other
absorbent material.
Large
spill-eliminate all ignition sources. Exclude
all persons not wearing protective equipment from area of spill. Prevent from entering drains, sewers, streams or other bodies
of water. If runoff occurs,
notify authorities as required. Pump
or transfer spilled product to containers for recovery or disposal. Absorb unrecovered product and transfer contaminated
absorbent, soil and other materials to containers for disposal. Dispose of in accordance with all local, state and federal
regulations. Incineration is the
preferred method of disposal.
Water
Spill: Butyl Acetate has a high biological oxygen demand
(BOD20 1.45g/g) and is expected to cause significant depletion in
aquatic systems. It has a low
potential to affect aquatic organisms. It
is readily biodegradable and is not likely to bioconcentrate. Collect and place in containers as much of the spilled
material as possible for later disposal.
7.
HANDLING AND STORAGE
Storage
Temperature: Ambient
Storage Pressure: Ambient
General: Store away from heat and ignition sources.
8. EXPOSURE
CONTROL/PERSONAL PROTECTION
Engineering
Controls: General area exhaust fans to maintain below PEL
limits.
Personal
Protection: Wear rubber or vinyl gloves.
Wear splash proof goggles.
Respirator: Not required under normal use conditions.
Self contained breathing apparatus in
confined areas in accordance with 29 CFR 1910.1048.
Protective
Clothing: Special clothing not required under normal use
conditions.
