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.
4. First Aid Measures
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.
5. Fire Fighting Measures
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.
6. Accidental Release Measures
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.
7. Handling and Storage
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.
8. Exposure Controls/Personal Protection
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, a half-face dust/mist respirator 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 dust/mist respirator 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. 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/DM 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.
