HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION: EMERGENCY OVERVIEW: Eye contact: liquid, vapor and mist may cause irritation. Slight corneal injury is possible. May cause conjunctivitis. Skin contact: Brief contact may cause dryness. Prolonged or repeated contact could cause irritation, dermatitis, or even a mild burn. If ingested, Swallowing is followed immediately by severe burning of the mouth and throat, Pain in the chest and vomiting. Liver damage can result. If inhaled, product is a potential anesthetic. Acute overexposure can cause nausea, vomiting, drowsiness, headache and dizziness. Inhaling could cause unconsciousness and eventually death. NOTE TO PHYSICIAN: May cause chemical pheumonia if aspirated into the lungs. Moderately toxic. If lavage is performed, suggest endotracheal and/or esophagoscopic control. May increase myocardial irritability. Avoid epinephrine or similar acting drugs, if possible. 00 A 056566 CONFIDENTIAL MSDS1959 Page 2 of 4 4.FIRST AID MEASURES! If inhaled: remove to fresh air. Give artifical respiration if not breathing. Get immediate medical attention. In case of eye contact: Immediately flush eyes with lots of water for at least 15 minutes. Lift lids occasionally to insure adequate flushing. Get medical attention. In case of skin contact: Immediately flood skin with lots of water for at least 15 minutes. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Get medical attention if irritation develops after flooding with water. 5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES: FLASH POINT: TEST METHOD: Non-flammable LEL: %= N/A UEL: X= N/A Not combustible. Use extinguishing media suitable for surrounding materials. Fire fighters should use full protective equipment. Use water spray to cool nearby containers. Unusual fire and explosion hazards: Extinguish all sources of ignition since vapors decompose to hazardous products at high temperatures. In the presence of strong alkalies and water, chloroform may become violently explosive. 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES: Extinguish all ignition sources. For small spills or drips, absorb with non-combustible sorbent material and containerize for disposal. Wash area well with water. A safety shower and eyewash should be nearby and ready for immediate use. 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE: Store away from sources of heat and moisture. Keep out of direct sunlight. Keep the container tightly closed except when in immediate use. Materials to avoid- Alkalies, Oxidizing materials, Water, Moist air, and aluminum. 8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS: PERSONAL PROTECTION: Use only with good localized ventilation or with respirator to avoid exceeding TLV. Safety glasses with side shields, impervious gloves, long sleeves and apron are recommended when working with this product.Should clothing or shoes become contaminated, remove and launder before reuse.
