Section 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Highly flammable. May form explosive peroxides. Irritating to eyes and respiratory system.Moisture sensitive.Air sensitive.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Contact with eyes may cause severe irritation, and possible eye burns. Vapors may cause eye irritation. Contact may cause ulceration of the conjunctiva and cornea.
Skin:
May cause skin irritation. Prolonged and/or repeated contact may cause defatting of the skin and dermatitis. May be absorbed through the skin. If absorbed, causes symptoms similar to those of inhalation.

Skin:
Get medical aid. Immediately flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes.
Discard contaminated clothing in a manner which limits further exposure.
Ingestion:
If victim is conscious and alert, give 2-4 cupfuls of milk or water.
Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical aid immediately.

Section 5 - FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
General Information:
Containers can build up pressure if exposed to heat and/or fire. As in any fire, wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and full protective gear. Vapors may form an explosive mixture with air.
Vapors can travel to a source of ignition and flash back. Extremely flammable liquid and vapor. Forms peroxides of unknown stability.
Vapors may be heavier than air. They can spread along the ground and collect in low or confined areas.
Extinguishing Media:
Use water spray to cool fire-exposed containers. Water may be ineffective. Contact professional fire-fighters immediately. Cool containers with flooding quantities of water until well after fire is out. In case of fire, use carbon dioxide, dry chemical powder or appropriate foam.

Section 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
General Information: Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated in Section 8.
Spills/Leaks:
Absorb spill with inert material (e.g. vermiculite, sand or earth), then place in suitable container. Use water spray to dilute spill to a non-flammable mixture. Avoid runoff into storm sewers and ditches which lead to waterways. Remove all sources of ignition. Isolate area and deny entry.

Section 7 - HANDLING and STORAGE
Handling:
Wash thoroughly after handling. Use only in a well-ventilated area.
Ground and bond containers when transferring material. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Empty containers retain product residue, (liquid and/or vapor), and can be dangerous. Keep container tightly closed. Keep away from heat, sparks and flame. Avoid ingestion and inhalation. Prevent build up of vapors to explosive concentration. Do not pressurize, cut, weld, braze, solder, drill, grind, or expose empty containers to heat, sparks or open flames.
Storage:
Keep away from heat, sparks, and flame. Keep away from sources of ignition. Store in a cool place in the original container and protect from sunlight. Keep under a nitrogen blanket. Keep from contact with oxidizing materials. Regularly check inhibitor levels to maintain peroxide levels below 1%.

Section 10 - STABILITY AND REACTIVITY
Chemical Stability:
Prolonged exposure to air and sunlight may form unstable peroxides.
Explosive peroxides may form on concentration. Peroxides can be detonated by friction, impact, or heating. Peroxide formation may occur in containers that have been opened and remain in storage.
Normally stable; however, on long term storage, materials containing similar functional groups form peroxides of unknown stability.
Conditions to Avoid:
Mechanical shock, light, ignition sources, exposure to air, excess heat, electrical sparks, friction, exposure to flame.
Incompatibilities with Other Materials:
It is explosive with potassium hydroxide, sodium hydroxide, and sodium tetrahydroaluminate since caustic alkalies deplete the inhibitor. Reacts with potassium dioxide 2-aminophenol to form an explosive product. Reacts violently with metal halides. Forms explosive hydrogen gas with borane or lithium tetrahydroaluminate and reacts vigorously with bromine and calcium hydride+heat. Incompatible with sulfinyl chloride and oxidizing materials. Hazardous polymerization may occur in the presence of cationic initiators such as strong proton acids or selected Lewis acids.
Hazardous Decomposition Products:
Hydrogen chloride, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide.
Hazardous Polymerization: May occur.
