EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Is corrosive and may cause eye burns. It may cause respiratory tract irritation. It may cause skin irritation and is a skin sensitizer. Harmful if swallowed. To avoid static spark ground equipment and container before transferring.
POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS
Eye Contact:
Is corrosive and may cause eye burns. Symptoms may include tearing, redness and with severe exposure may cause blistering
Skin Contact:
May induce skin sensitization in humans. Symptoms may include redness, itching, rash and with severe exposure may cause blistering.
Inhalation:
Vapor or mist may cause headaches, nausea, and irritation of nose, throat and lungs. Symptoms may include coughing, wheezing and possible shortness of breath.
Ingestion:
Harmful if swallowed. The acute oral toxicity is between 500 and 5000 mg/kg. May cause pain or discomfort in the mouth, chest and abdomen. Symptoms may include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, dizziness, drowsiness, faintness, weakness and collapse.
Chronic Exposure:
Repeated Exposure may cause allergic skin reaction. Inhalation may cause allergic respiratory reaction. No Carcinogenic substances as defined by IARC, NTP, and/or OSHA.
Environmental hazards:
Hazardous to the aquatic environment – chronic hazard – Category 2 (CLP: Aquatic Chronic 2)

SECTION III: FIRST AID MEASURES
Eye Contact: Immediately flush the eyes with large quantities of running water for at least 15 minutes, while holding the eyelids apart during the flushing to ensure rinsing of the entire surface of the eye and lids with water. Do no attempt to neutralize with chemical agents. Obtain medical attention as soon as possible. Skin Contact: Immediately flush with large quantities of running water for at least 15 minutes, and then wash off of skin with plenty of soap and water. If redness, itching or burning sensation develops, get medical attention. Wash (or discard) contaminated clothing. Discard or decontaminate footwear before reuse. Inhalation: Remove victim to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is labored, give oxygen. Obtain medical attention as soon as possible. Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting. Give one or two glasses of water to drink and refer to medical personnel or take direction from either a physician or a poison control center. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Obtain medical attention as soon as possible.
SECTION IV: FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD DATA
FLASH POINT: 280°F (138°C) Pensky-Martens Closed Cup (ASTM D-93)
HAZARDOUS THERMAL DECOMPOSIION PRODUCTS:
In case of fire, may produce hazardous decomposition products such as carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, black smoke, aldehydes, organic acids, nitrogen oxides, ammonia, amines.
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA:
Use water fog, foam, carbon dioxide, dry chemical, halogenated agents. Use a water spray to cool fire-exposed containers.
SPECIAL PROCEDURES:
Wear self-contained positive breathing apparatus (SCBA) and complete personal protective equipment. Remove all ignition sources. Use a water spray to cool fire-exposed containers.
SECTION V: ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
SPILL OR LEAK PROCEDURES:
Emergency clean-up workers should wear protective clothing (see Section 8). Remove any sources of fire, heating elements, etc. Contain spill. Soak up material with absorbent and shovel into a chemical waste container. Decontaminate with weak acid solution such as a 1% acetic acid solution, or one part white vinegar to four parts water.
ENVIRONMENTAL PRECAUTIONS:
Prevent entry to sewers and public waters. Notify authorities if product enters sewers or public waters. Avoid release to the environment

WASTE DISPOSAL:
Incinerate or dispose of in approved landfill. Dispose of as an aqueous waste after reaction with weak acid, with approval of local, state or federal agency.
SECTION VI: HANDLING AND STORAGE
GENERAL HANDLING
Wear protective clothing. (See Section 8) Open containers in a well-ventilated area to avoid exposure To residual Propyleneimine that may have collected in headspace. Avoid breathing vapors or aerosols. Prevent skin and eye contact.
STORAGE
Keep containers tightly sealed. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from heat, sources of ignition, direct sunlight, and incompatible materials.
ENGINEERING CONTROLS:
Use only with adequate ventilation. If user operations generate dust, fumes, gas, vapor or mist, use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation or other engineering controls to keep worker exposure to airborne contaminants below any recommended or statutory limits.
EYE AND FACE PROTECTION:
Wear chemical tight goggles and full face shield.
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION:
Protect against inhaling vapors or aerosols by local exhaust or hood. Where engineered measures are not feasible, for non-spray applications an air purifying respirator with organic vapor cartridge may be worn. For spray applications a NIOSH certified full face piece supplied-air respirators provide the highest protection. Where the use of supplied-air respirators is not feasible, NIOSH-certified full face piece air purifying respirators equipped with high efficiency filters may be used. For fire-fighting or other emergency situations use a NIOSH/MSHA approved positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus.
PROTECTIVE CLOTHING:
Use gloves, arm covers and apron determined to be impervious under the conditions of use. Additional protection, such as full body suit and boots may be required depending on conditions. Remove contaminated clothing and wash before re-wearing.
ADDITIONAL PROTECTIVE MEASURES:
Local exhaust should be used when appropriate to control employee exposure. Safety showers and eyewash facilities must be immediately available. Employees should wash their hands and face before eating, drinking, or using tobacco products.
