Inhalation and dermal are the primary routes of entry although other avenues should be considered INHALATION Exposure to high doses may cause central nervous system CNS depression anesthetic like effects Doses that affect the CNS in this fashion may also cause adverse effects on the liver lung and kidney Possible changes to bone marrow Symptoms of inhalation exposure may include headache dizziness nausea shortness of breath and irritation of the respiratory tract nose throat and lungs including sore throat and cough EYE Eye irritant Contact with eyes may cause discomfort and pain DERMAL Product may cause mild irritation rashes defattening and possibly dermatitis Problem may be accentuated by trapping the liquid against the skin Manufacturers of N Propyl Bromide have set varying levels of exposure ranging from 25 to 100 ppm Preliminary test data suggests the final value may lie somewhere within this range Neither EPA nor OSHA has set exposure values for this material

vomiting and diarrhea Low order of Toxicity MEDICAL CONDITIONS GENERALLY AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE Persons with pre existing skin disorders or impaired liver kidney or pulmonary function disorders may be more susceptible to certain components of this product GENERAL Product may cause reproductive effects based on animal studies Target organs include kidneys CNS liver and bone marrow 1 3 Dioxolane is listed as a Mutagen SECTION IV FIRST AID MEASURES INHALATION Remove individual to fresh air If breathing is difficult provide oxygen by a trained health care professional If not breathing give artificial respiration preferably mouth to mouth Consult a physician EYE Flush eyes with copious amounts of water for at least 15 minutes Contact physician if irritation persists SKIN CONTACT Thoroughly wash affected area with soap and water at least 15 minutes consult physician if irritation persists or is severe Remove all contaminated clothing and launder prior to reuse Properly discard all leather articles that are soaked with product INGESTION Do NOT induce vomiting seek medical attention If unconscious or in convulsions take immediately to the hospital If conscious give 1 pint of water Never administer anything by mouth to an unconscious person If vomiting occurs spontaneously keep individual s head below their hips to prevent aspiration of material into the lungs NOTE consult a physician in all areas of exposure First aiders need to provide for their own safety before attempting to provide assistance SECTION V FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES FLASH POINT N A FLAMMABLE LIMITS LEL N D UEL N D EXTINGUISHING MEDIA Dry chemical BC or ABC foam or carbon dioxide SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES Firefighters should wear NIOSH MSHA approved positive pressure self contained breathing apparatus for possible exposure to toxic by products of combustion as denoted in Section X Protective gear may be needed to prevent skin contact Water may be used to keep containers cool UNUSUAL FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES Vapors of this product are heavier than air and can travel considerable distances Product may form flammable mixtures with air in some cases Toxic and corrosive gases can be generated if exposed to a source of ignition or high temperatures NFPA rates N Propyl Bromide as flammable FP 75 F Testing of similar DETRIDE products using a Pensky Martin apparatus did not produce ignition within the cup indicating there is no flash MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET A C Flush Part No 69990 400990 Page 3 of 6 point However vapors at elevated temperatures did burn as long as an external source of ignition such as an open flame was provided Removal of the ignition source extinguished the flame SECTION VI ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES Immediately evacuate the area and provide maximum ventilation Shut off sources of ignition Unprotected personnel should move upwind of the spill Only personnel equipped with proper respiratory and skin eye protection should be permitted in the area Dike area to contain the spill Take precautions as necessary to prevent contamination of the ground and surface waters Recover spilled material on absorbents such as sawdust or vermiculite and sweep into closed containers for disposal After all visible traces including vapors have been removed thoroughly wet vacuum the area Do not flush to the sewer If area is porous remove as much earth and gravel etc as necessary and place in closed containers for disposal SECTION VII HANDLING AND STORAGE Wear PPE when handling this material Wash exposed body areas with soap and water prior to using lavatory facilities consuming food or beverages or applying cosmetics Ventilation must be sufficient to limit employees exposure Do not use in poorly ventilated or confined spaces without proper respiratory protection Do not eat drink or smoke in work areas Avoid contact with eyes and skin Do not ingest Do not use cutting or welding torches on containers that contained this product unless the containers are properly purged and cleaned Store in the original closed properly sealed and labeled container SECTION VIII EXPOSURE CONTROLS PERSONAL PROTECTION VENTILATION General ventilation is recommended to keep employees exposure to below established OSHA and recommended manufacturer s limits RESPIRATORY PROTECTION To limit employees exposure OSHA requires that the use of administrative or engineering controls must first be developed and implemented whenever feasible 29CFRI910 1000 e When controls are not feasible and exposure exceeds established limits then protective equipment such as respirators are recommended Use only OSHA NIOSH approved respirators according to the manufacturer s directions and OSHA requirements Positive pressure self contained units i e SCBAs are required whenever there is insufficient oxygen IDLH conditions exist and when determined necessary by surrounding environmental conditions EYE PROTECTION Splash proof goggles face shields where splashing may be present Eyewash should be available in areas where this product is handled DERMAL PROTECTION Protect all exposed skin from liquid contact Use chemically resistant gloves Aprons and other protective equipment should be used when there is a chance for splashing MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET A C Flush Part No 69990 400990 Page 4 of 6 BOILING POINT Approx 71 o C SPECIFIC GRAVITY 1 32 VAPOR PRESSURE mm
