Section V - Reactivity Data
|
Stability:
Stable
Conditions to Avoid:
Extremes in temperature.
High humidity.
Incompatibility (Materials to Avoid): Long term
storage in direct contact with reactive metals such as
aluminum, zinc, copper, nickel, magnesium, etc. Other
materials to avoid include strong oxidizing agents such as
sodium hypochlorite and hydrogen peroxide.
Hazardous Decomposition Products: When involved
in a fire, burning may evolve noxious fumes which may include
carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, nitrous oxides, acetic acid,
low molecular weight hydrocarbons, or other toxic compounds
depending on the chemical composition and combustion
conditions. However, all of the water must be driven off first
for this to occur.
Hazardous Polymerization: Will not occur. |
Section VI - Health Hazard Data |
Inhalation Health Risks and Symptoms of
Exposure:
Prolonged inhalation may lead to
respiratory tract irritation.
Skin and Eye Contact Health Risks and Symptoms of Exposure:
Prolonged or repeated contact may result in mechanical
irritation.
Skin Absorption Health risks and Symptoms of Exposure:
May be harmful if absorbed through skin.
Ingestion Health Risks and Symptoms of Exposure:
Ingestion of large quantities may be harmful.
Health Hazards (acute and chronic):
None known.
Carcinogenicity NTP?
No IARC Monographs?
No
Existing Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated By
Exposure:
May provoke asthmatic response in persons
with asthma who are sensitive to airway irritants. People who
are allergic to Lignocaine or some similar local anesthetics
may also react to Bitrex and should therefore avoid contact
with the material.
Emergency and First Aid Procedures:
Eyes:
Flush with flowing water for at least 15
minutes. Call a physician.
Skin:
Wash affected area with soap and water for
15-20 minutes. If irritation develops consult a physician.
Remove and launder contaminated clothing before reuse.
Inhalation:
If difficulty in breathing occurs,
move to fresh air. Get immediate medical attention
Ingestion:
Get immediate medical attention. Unless advised otherwise,
dilute with water or milk. |
Section VII - Precautions for Safe Handling and Use |
Steps to be Taken in Case Material is
Released or Spilled: Contain the spill to prevent a
large discharge to surface streams or storm sewers. Since
landfill operations will not accept liquid waste, allow to dry
if possible before collecting for disposal. An absorbent
material would aid in cleaning up a liquid spill. If liquid
cleanup is necessary, collect in drums, buckets, or other
containers.
Waste Disposal Method:
Wastes resulting from the
use of this product may be disposed of on site or at an
approved waste disposal facility. Do not reuse empty
container. Rinse thoroughly and wrap in several layers of
newspaper before discarding in trash.
Precautions to be Taken in Handling and Storing: Local
exhaust. Do not breathe fumes. Store only in original
container, in a dry place inaccessible to children and pets at
temperatures above freezing.
Other Precautions:
Eye wash fountains should be
easily accessible. Do not apply directly to water, to areas
where surface water is present or to intertidal areas below
the mean high water mark. Do not clean equipment or dispose of
equipment or wash waters in a way that will contaminate water
resources or arable land. |
Section VIII - Control Measures |
Respiratory: If excessive vapors
or mists are generated, wear NIOSH/MSHA approved organic
vapor/mist respirator.
Ventilation: Use local exhaust to control
excessive vapors/mists. If applicable, proper personal
protection is a NIOSH/MSHA approved respirator.
Clothing: Gloves, coveralls, apron, boots as
necessary to prevent skin contact as needed.
Eye: Chemical goggles; wear face shield if
splashing hazard exists.
Other: Open wounds or skin surface disruptions
should be covered with a chemical resistant patch to minimize
absorption risks. Clean clothing should be worn daily to avoid
possible long-term build up of the product leading to chronic
overexposure. |
Section IX - Shipping and Labeling Information |
DOT Shipping Data: Not regulated.
DOT Hazard Classification: NA
DOT Labels Required: NA
