First Aid Measures 4.1 Description of First Aid Measures In case of ingestion: Do not induce vomiting. If victim is alert and not convulsing, rinse out mouth and give 1/2 to 1 glass of water to dilute material. If spontaneous vomiting occurs, have victim lean forward with head down to avoid breathing in of vomitus, rinse mouth and administer more water. Transport victim to an emergency facility IMMEDIATELY! In case of inhalation: Remove to fresh air. If not breathing give artificial respiration. Obtain medical attention immediately. In case of contact with eyes: Flush immediately with flowing water for a period of at least 20 minutes with eyelids open. Remove contact lenses, if present and easily removed and continue rinsing. Obtain medical attention immediately - treat for isopropanol exposure. In case of contact with skin: Wash with soap and water. Remove and wash contaminated clothing before re-use. Consult a physician if irritation develops at site of exposure. 4.2 Principal Symptoms and Effects, both Acute and Delayed Eye / skin irritation; drowsiness/dizziness on inhalation of isopropanol vapour. 4.3 Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed Seek medical attention if inhaled, ingested or on eye contact. 5. Fire-fighting Measures 5.1 Means of Extinction Extinguishing Media: Water, Fog, C02 (Carbon Dioxide), Foam, Dry Chemical Unsuitable Extinguishing Media: Do not use direct water stream as this could spread fire. 5.2 Specific Hazards arising from the substance Combustion may produce heavy smoke and/or toxic fumes of carbon monoxide. Do not inhale gases produced by combustion or explosion. 5.3 Protective Equipment and Precautions Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus should be used when fighting a fire in a confined area or when exposed to contaminated products 5.4 Unusual Fire & Explosion Hazards None Stabilant 22A Safety Data Sheet - Revision 26 Page 3 of 8 6. Accidental Release Measures 6.1 Precautions, Protective Equipment, Emergency Procedures Ventilation: Whenever large volumes of the material are being used (>250 mL) or whenever the continually exposed surface area of the material is in excess of 3 Square ft., it is suggested that local exhaust ventilation be provided. Where the material is being applied by swab or small brush, or from a dropper bottle, it is highly unlikely that sufficient air concentration of the isopropanol could occur under normal ventilation such that a health hazard could be created. Respiratory Protection: Where large volumes of the material (>250 mL) are being used or where large surface areas are being exposed (e.g. - dipping tanks) the use of a NIOSH/MSHA approved air purifying respirator equipped with organic vapor cartridges be used if exposed to concentrations up to 1000 ppm. Use an air supplied unit if exposed to higher or unknown concentrations. (Such as in bulk handling). Where small amounts are being used with a swab or small brush, or are being dispensed from a dropper bottle, respiratory protection is not needed under normal ventilation conditions. Protective Gloves: Rubber, Neoprene or Plastic when handling bulk amounts Eye Protection: Goggles or Face shield when handling bulk amounts Clothing: Plastic apron, non-slip footwear when handling bulk amounts Other: Not required 6.2 Environmental Precautions Prevent large amounts from entering drains, soil or ground water 6.3 Clean Up of Leaks and Spills Eliminate all sources of ignition. Stop or reduce discharge if safe to do so. Prevent material from entering water courses or sewers. Ventilate enclosed spaces. Contain by applying absorbent. Collect waste absorbent for disposal in accordance with local regulations. For significant releases contact regulatory authorities. Residual spilled material is quite slippery; it should be covered with absorbent anti-skid material and cleaned up immediately. 7. Handling and Storage 7.1 Precautions for Safe Handling Avoid contact with skin and eyes, or inhalation of vapour / mist Do not eat or drink or smoke during use. Take measures to avoid open flame, sparks or electrostatic buildup / discharge. When handling bulk amounts, observe physical safety precautions commensurate with the size of the container. 7.2 Conditions for Safe Storage Store in a cool, dry location with good ventilation. Keep containers closed after use Stabilant 22A Safety Data Sheet - Revision 26 Page 4 of 8 8. Exposure Controls / Personal Protection 8.1 Control Parameters Exposure Limits: No Tests Run ? The Stabilant 22 component has very low vapor pressue and very low toxicity. In normal use when applied to electrical contacts, the small quantities used suggest no injurious exposure from this component. Precautions apply to isopropanol (CAS 67-63-0, present as a solvent/thinner) which evaporates during use.
