Potential Health Effects
----------------------------------
Inhalation:
May cause irritation to the mucous membranes. Inhalation of dust may cause systemic poisoning, symptoms may parallel those from ingestion exposure. May cause methemoglobinemia.
Ingestion:
May cause anoxia, headache, fatigue, anorexia, cyanosis, vomiting, diarrhea, emaciation, hypothermia, bladder irritation, kidney, heart, and liver damage. May cause methemoglobinemia.
Skin Contact:
May cause skin irritation. Liquid material may be absorbed through the skin. Symptoms may parallel those from ingestion exposure. May cause methemoglobinemia.
Eye Contact:
May cause irritation, redness, pain, and corneal damage.
Chronic Exposure:
Prolonged or repeated exposure from inhalation or skin absorption of liquid may cause damage to the nervous system, liver, kidneys, and bone marrow. May also cause weight loss, anemia, weakness, and irritability.
Aggravation of Pre-existing Conditions:
No information found.
Inhalation:
Remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Call a physician.
Ingestion:
Induce vomiting immediately as directed by medical personnel. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Call a physician immediately.
Skin Contact:
Immediately flush skin with plenty of soap and water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Get medical attention. Wash clothing before reuse. Thoroughly clean shoes before reuse.
Eye Contact:
Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, lifting lower and upper eyelids occasionally. Get medical attention immediately.
Fire:
Flash point: 150C (302F)
Autoignition temperature: 634C (1173F)
May pose a slight fire hazard when exposed to heat or flame.
Explosion:
Contact with hexachloromelamine or trichloromelamine may cause an explosive reaction.
Fire Extinguishing Media:
Water spray, dry chemical, alcohol foam, or carbon dioxide. Water stream or foam may cause frothing.
Special Information:
In the event of a fire, wear full protective clothing and NIOSH-approved self-contained breathing apparatus with full facepiece operated in the pressure demand or other positive pressure mode.
Ventilate area of leak or spill. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment as specified in Section 8. Spills: Pick up and place in a suitable container for reclamation or disposal, using a method that does not generate dust.
Protect against physical damage. Outside or detached storage is preferred. Inside storage should be in a standard flammable liquids storage room or cabinet. Separate from oxidizing materials. Storage and use areas should be No Smoking areas. Protect from light. Isolate from incompatible substances. Can be stored in containers for extended periods when temperature is below 65C. Prolonged storage above this point accelerates discoloration.
Airborne Exposure Limits:
-ACGIH Threshold Limit Value (TLV): 10 mg/m3 (TWA)
Ventilation System:
A system of local and/or general exhaust is recommended to keep employee exposures below the Airborne Exposure Limits. Local exhaust ventilation is generally preferred because it can control the emissions of the contaminant at its source, preventing dispersion of it into the general work area. Please refer to the ACGIH document, Industrial Ventilation, A Manual of Recommended Practices, most recent edition, for details.
Personal Respirators (NIOSH Approved):
If the exposure limit is exceeded and engineering controls are not feasible, a half facepiece particulate respirator (NIOSH type N95 or better filters) may be worn for up to ten times the exposure limit or the maximum use concentration specified by the appropriate regulatory agency or respirator supplier, whichever is lowest.. A full-face piece particulate respirator (NIOSH type N100 filters) may be worn up to 50 times the exposure limit, or the maximum use concentration specified by the appropriate regulatory agency, or respirator supplier, whichever is lowest. If oil particles (e.g. lubricants, cutting fluids, glycerine, etc.) are present, use a NIOSH type R or P filter. For emergencies or instances where the exposure levels are not known, use a full-facepiece positive-pressure, air-supplied respirator. WARNING: Air-purifying respirators do not protect workers in oxygen-deficient atmospheres. An OV/particluate (NIOSH type N95 filter or better) respirator may be preferable when odor is a problem.
Skin Protection:
Wear impervious protective clothing, including boots, gloves, lab coat, apron or coveralls, as appropriate, to prevent skin contact.
Eye Protection:
Use chemical safety goggles and/or a full face shield where splashing is possible. Maintain eye wash fountain and quick-drench facilities in work area.
