POTENTIAL HAZARDS FIRE OR EXPLOSION · HIGHLY FLAMMABLE: Will be easily ignited by heat, sparks or flames. · Vapors form explosive mixtures with air: indoors, outdoors and sewers explosion hazards. · Most vapors are heavier than air. They will spread along the ground and collect in low or confined areas (sewers, basements, tanks, etc.). · Vapors may travel to source of ignition and flash back. · Those substances designated with a (P) may polymerize explosively when heated or involved in a fire. · Substance will react with water (some violently) releasing flammable, toxic or corrosive gases and runoff. · Contact with metals may evolve flammable hydrogen gas. · Containers may explode when heated or if contaminated with water. HEALTH · TOXIC; inhalation, ingestion or contact (skin, eyes) with vapors, dusts or substance may cause severe injury, burns or death. · Bromoacetates and chloroacetates are extremely irritating/lachrymators (cause eye irritation and flow of tears). · Reaction with water or moist air will release toxic, corrosive or flammable gases. · Reaction with water may generate much heat that will increase the concentration of fumes in the air. · Fire will produce irritating, corrosive and/or toxic gases. · Runoff from fire control or dilution water may be corrosive and/or toxic and cause environmental contamination. · CALL 911. Then call emergency response telephone number on shipping paper. If shipping paper not available or no answer, refer to appropriate telephone number listed on the inside back cover. · Keep unauthorized personnel away. · Stay upwind, uphill and/or upstream. · Ventilate closed spaces before entering, but only if properly trained and equipped. PROTECTIVE CLOTHING · Wear positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA). · Wear chemical protective clothing that is specifically recommended by the manufacturer when there is NO RISK OF FIRE. · Structural firefighters' protective clothing provides thermal protection but only limited chemical protection. Immediate precautionary measure · Isolate spill or leak area in all directions for at least 50 meters (150 feet) for liquids and at least 25 meters (75 feet) for solids. Spill · For highlighted materials: see Table 1 - . · For non-highlighted materials: increase the immediate precautionary measure distance, in the downwind direction, as necessary. Fire · If tank, rail car or tank truck is involved in a fire, ISOLATE for 800 meters (1/2 mile) in all directions; also, consider initial evacuation for 800 meters (1/2 mile) in all directions.  | In Canada, an Emergency Response Assistance Plan (ERAP) may be required for this product. Please consult the shipping paper and/or the ERAP Program Section. |
EMERGENCY RESPONSE FIRE · Note: Most foams will react with the material and release corrosive/toxic gases. CAUTION: For Acetyl chloride (UN1717), use CO2 or dry chemical only. Small Fire · CO2, dry chemical, dry sand, alcohol-resistant foam. Large Fire · Water spray, fog or alcohol-resistant foam. · FOR CHLOROSILANES, DO NOT USE WATER; use AFFF alcohol-resistant medium-expansion foam. · If it can be done safely, move undamaged containers away from the area around the fire. · Avoid aiming straight or solid streams directly onto the product. Fire Involving Tanks or Car/Trailer Loads · Fight fire from maximum distance or use unmanned master stream devices or monitor nozzles. · Do not get water inside containers. · Cool containers with flooding quantities of water until well after fire is out. · Withdraw immediately in case of rising sound from venting safety devices or discoloration of tank. · ALWAYS stay away from tanks engulfed in fire. SPILL OR LEAK · ELIMINATE all ignition sources (no smoking, flares, sparks or flames) from immediate area. · All equipment used when handling the product must be grounded. · Do not touch damaged containers or spilled material unless wearing appropriate protective clothing. · Stop leak if you can do it without risk. · A vapor-suppressing foam may be used to reduce vapors. · FOR CHLOROSILANES, use AFFF alcohol-resistant medium-expansion foam to reduce vapors. · DO NOT GET WATER on spilled substance or inside containers. · Use water spray to reduce vapors or divert vapor cloud drift. Avoid allowing water runoff to contact spilled material. · Prevent entry into waterways, sewers, basements or confined areas. Small Spill · Cover with DRY earth, DRY sand or other non-combustible material followed with plastic sheet to minimize spreading or contact with rain. · Use clean, non-sparking tools to collect material and place it into loosely covered plastic containers for later disposal. FIRST AID · Call 911 or emergency medical service. · Ensure that medical personnel are aware of the material(s) involved and take precautions to protect themselves. · Move victim to fresh air if it can be done safely. · Give artificial respiration if victim is not breathing. · Do not perform mouth-to-mouth resuscitation if victim ingested or inhaled the substance; wash face and mouth before giving artificial respiration. Use a pocket mask equipped with a one-way valve or other proper respiratory medical device. · Administer oxygen if breathing is difficult. · Remove and isolate contaminated clothing and shoes. · In case of contact with substance, immediately flush skin or eyes with running water for at least 20 minutes. · For minor skin contact, avoid spreading material on unaffected skin. · Keep victim calm and warm. · Effects of exposure (inhalation, ingestion or skin contact) to substance may be delayed. |
