=====================  Hazards Identification  =====================

Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:No    IARC:No	OSHA:No
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:

=======================  First Aid Measures  =======================

First Aid: INHALATION: If adverse effects occur, remove to
    uncontaminated area. Give artificial respiration if not breathing.
    Get immediate medical attention. SKIN CONTACT: Wash skin with soap
    and water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated
    clothing and shoes. Get medical attention, if needed. Thoroughly
    clean and dry contaminated clothing and shoes before reuse. EYE
    CONTACT: Flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes.
    Then get immediate medical attention. INGESTION: If swallowed,
    drink plenty of water, do NOT induce vomiting. Get immediate
    medical attention. Induce vomiting only at the instructions of a
    physician. Do not give anything by mouth to unconscious or
    convulsive person. ANTIDOTE: amyl nitrite, inhalation; sodium
    nitrite, intravenous; pyridoxine, intravenous; urea, intravenous.
    CAUTION! Get medical attention immediately.

=====================  Fire Fighting Measures  =====================

Flash Point:-22 F (-30 C) (CC)
Autoignition Temp:194 F (90 C)
Lower Limits:1.0%
Upper Limits:50.0%
Extinguishing Media:alcohol resistant foam, carbon dioxide, regular dry
    chemical, water Large fires: Use alcohol-resistant foam or flood
    with fine water spray.
Fire Fighting Procedures:Move container from fire area if it can be
    done without risk. Dike for later disposal. Do not scatter spilled
    material with high-pressure water streams. Cool containers with
    water spray until well after the fire is out. Stay away from the
    ends of tanks. Withdraw immediately in case of rising sound from
    venting safety device or any discoloration of tanks due to fire.
    For tank, rail car or tank truck, evacuation radius: 800 meters
    (1/2 mile). Water may be ineffective.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:Severe fire hazard. Severe explosion
    hazard. The vapor is heavier than air. Vapors or gases may ignite
    at distant ignition sources and flash back. Vapor/air mixtures are
    explosive. Electrostatic discharges may be generated by flow or
    agitation resulting in ignition or explosion.

==================  Accidental Release Measures  ==================

======================	Handling and Storage  ======================

Handling and Storage Precautions:Store and handle in accordance with
    all current regulations and standards. Subject to storage
    regulations: U.S. OSHA 29 CFR 1910.106. Protect from physical
    damage. Store outside or in a detached building. Avoid contact with
    light. Store at room temperature. Use diking sufficient to contain
    total contents plus 10%. Store under an inert atmosphere. Avoid
    heat, flames, sparks and other sources of ignition. Grounding and
    bonding required. Keep separated from incompatible substances.
    Notify State Emergency Response Commission for storage or use at
    amounts greater than or equal to the TPQ (U.S. EPA SARA Section
    302). SARA Section 303 requires facilities storing a material with
    a TPQ to participate in local emergency response planning (U.S. EPA
    40 CFR 355.30).

Ventilation:Ventilation equipment should be explosion-resistant if
    explosive concentrations of material are present. Provide local
    exhaust or process enclosure ventilation system. Ensure compliance
    with applicable exposure limits.
Protective Gloves:Wear appropriate chemical resistant gloves.
Eye Protection:Wear splash resistant safety goggles with a faceshield.
    Provide an emergency eye wash fountain and quick drench shower in
    the immediate work area.
Other Protective Equipment:Wear appropriate chemical resistant
    clothing.
