OSHA CLASSIFICATION Eye and Skin Irritant

Signal word

WARNING HAZARD STATEMENT Causes eye and skin irritation SYMBOL Exclamation Mark

Prevention

Avoid breathing vapors

Response

If inhaled move victim to fresh air and keep at rest in a position comfortable for breathing

Storage

Store in a well-ventilated place. Keep container tightly closed. Store locked up

Disposal

Dispose of contents/container at an approved disposal facility EMERGENCY OVERVIEW: Colorless, volatile liquid with ethereal and faint sweetish odor. Non-flammable material. Overexposure may cause dizziness and loss of concentration. At higher levels, CNS depression and cardiac arrhythmia may result from exposure. Vapors displace air and can cause asphyxiation in confined spaces. At higher temperatures, (>250C), decomposition products may include Hydrochloric Acid (HCI), Hydrofluoric Acid (HF) and carbonyl halides.

Health hazards

SKIN: Prolonged and/or repeated contact with this solvent can cause irritation of the skin (defatting of skin). EYES: Irritant. Liquid contact will irritate and may cause conjunctivitis. INHALATION: R-11 has a relatively low order of acute toxicity. When oxygen levels in air are reduced to 12-14% by displacement, symptoms of asphyxiation, loss of coordination, increased pulse rate and deeper respiration will occur. In repeated exposure tests with animals, changes were noted in liver functions and lipid production at levels above 100 ppm. At high levels, cardiac arrhythmia may occur. INGESTION: Discomfort due to volatility would be expected. Some of the inhalation effects could be expected. DELAYED EFFECTS: None known.
