ecg cleaner/lubricant eec environment - "n" 3. hazards identification emergency overview immediate concerns: poison, may be fatal or cause blindness if swallowed. potential health effects eyes: irritating, and may injure eye tissue if not removed promptly. skin: prolonged or repeated contact can result in defatting and drying of the skin which may result in skin irritation and dermatitis (rash). liquid contact could cause frostbite. ingestion: harmful if swallowed --- contains small amounts of methanol. inhalation: harmful if inhaled. prolonged or repeated inhalation may cause lung damage and/or central nervous system disturbances. signs and symptoms of overexposure eyes: symptoms of overexposure include: stinging, tearing, redness and pain. skin: exposure to rapidly expanding gas or vaporizing liquid may cause frostbite ("cold" burn). ingestion: poison - may be fatal if swallowed. inhalation: high concentrations may lead to central nervous system effects (drowsiness, dizziness, nausea, headaches, paralysis and loss of consciousness). acute toxicity: overexposure may cause dizziness and loss of concentration. at higher levels, cns depression and cardiac arrhythmia may result. chronic: frequent or prolonged contact may irritate the skin and cause a skin rash (dermatitis). carcinogenicity: not listed reproductive toxicity reproductive effects: not established teratogenic effects: not considered a developmental toxicant. routes of entry: inhalation is major route of entry. cancer statement: not listed 4. first aid measures eyes: immediately flush eyes with plenty of water. get medical attention, if irritation persists. file:///n|/msds/5115ij4j.htm (2 of 8)1/13/2004 12:13:36 pm
ecg cleaner/lubricant skin: wash with soap and water. get medical attention if irritation develops or persists. ingestion: if swallowed, do not induce vomiting. if conscious and alert, give two glasses of water. seek medical attention. inhalation: remove to fresh air. if not breathing, give artificial respiration. if breathing is difficult, give oxygen. get medical attention. 5. fire fighting measures flashpoint and method: none flammable limits: 7.4 to 15.5 autoignition temperature: 550? (1022?) general hazard: aerosol cans may erupt with force at temperatures above 120f. extinguishing media: water, foam, dry chemical, carbon dioxide. hazardous combustion products: smoke, fumes and oxides of carbon. explosion hazards: vapors, when present in the flammable range (listed above), especially in a confined or poorly ventilated space, can be ignited with a flame or high intesity source of heat. fire fighting procedures: use water spray to keep fire-exposed containers cool and to knock down vapors which may result from product decomposition. fire fighting equipment: as in any fire, wear self-contained breathing apparatus pressure-demand, (msha/niosh approved or equivalent) and full protective gear. hazardous decomposition products: decomposition products are hazardous. this compound can be decomposed by high temperatures (open flames, glowing metal surfaces, etc.) forming hydrochloric and hydrofluoric acids - possibly carbonyl halides. 6. accidental release measures small spill: absorb liquid and place in sealed container for disposal. vapors can travel to an ignition source. general procedures: dike area to contain spill. take precautions as necessary to prevent contamination of ground and surface waters. recover spilled material on adsorbent, such as sawdust or vermiculite, and sweep into closed containers for disposal. after all visible traces, including vapors, have been removed thoroughly wet vacuum the area. do not flush to sewer. if area of spill is porous, remove as much contaminated earth, gravel, etc. as necessary and place in closed containers for disposal. 7. handling and storage general procedures: wash thoroughly after handling. use only in a well ventilated area. follow all file:///n|/msds/5115ij4j.htm (3 of 8)1/13/2004 12:13:36 pm
ecg cleaner/lubricant msds/label precautions even after container is emptied because they may retain product residues. store in a cool dry place. handling: use with sufficient ventilation to keep employee exposure below recommended limits. provide adequate ventilation for storage, handling and use, especially for enclosed or low spaces. avoid contact of liquid with eyes and prolonged skin exposure. do not allow product to contact open flame or electrical heating elements because dangerous decomposition products may form. storage: store in a cool place in original container and protect from sunlight. keep away from heat and flame. storage pressure: store at local atomspheric pressure. storage temperature: contents under pressure. do not expose to heat or store above (120) f (49) c. 8. exposure controls / personal protection exposure guidelines: osha hazardous components (29 cfr 1910.1200) exposure limits osha pel acgih tlv supplier oel ppm mg/m 3 ppm mg/m 3 ppm mg/m 3 1,1-dichloro-1-fluoroethane twa none 500 500 ethanol twa 1000 1900 1000 1880 nl nl stel nl nl nl nl nl nl white mineral oil twa 5 5 stel 5 5 engineering controls: use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to control airborne levels below recommended exposure limits. personal protective equipment eyes and face: for normal conditions, wear safety glasses. where there is reasonable probability of liquid contact, wear splash-proof goggles. skin: the glove(s) listed below may provide protection against permeation. gloves of other chemically resistant materials may not provide adequate protection. buna butyl natural latex neoprene solvex viton respiratory: niosh/msha approved air purifying respirator with an organic vapor cartridge or canister may be permissible under certain circumstances where airborne concentrations are expected to exceed exposure limits. protection provided by air purifying respirators is limited. use a positive pressure air supplied respirator if file:///n|/msds/5115ij4j.htm (4 of 8)1/13/2004 12:13:36 pm
ecg cleaner/lubricant there is any potential for an uncontrolled release, exposure levels are not known, or any other circumstances where air purifying respirators may not provide adequate protection. work hygienic practices: wash hands before eating and wash before reuse. other use precautions: emergency shower and eyewash facility should be in close proximity. 9. physical and chemical properties physical state: liquid odor: faint ethereal odor appearance: clear, mobile liquid. color: colorless ph: not applicable percent volatile: 100 vapor density: >1 (air=1) boiling point: not available freezing point: not available melting point: not applicable solubility in water: wt % density: 1.16 (voc): 93.3 g/l (non-exempt voc) 10. stability and reactivity hazardous polymerization: no conditions to avoid: heat, flames, ignition sources, and incompatables. stability: stable under normal conditions. polymerization: will not occur. hazardous decomposition products: hydrochloric acid, hydfrofluoric acid, chlorine, fluorine, phosgene, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide. incompatible materials: metals. acidic conditions. oxidizing materials. 11. toxicological information acute dermal ld 50 : >2000 mg/kg (rat) oral ld 50 : >5000 mg/kg (rat) inhalation lc 50 : 20000 ppm, 10-hour file:///n|/msds/5115ij4j.htm (5 of 8)1/13/2004 12:13:36 pm
