Fire and
Explosion Hazards: Vapor is
heavier than air and may travel considerable distance along the ground to
ignition sources and flash back.
Container explosion may occur under fire conditions. Use water spray to cool fire-exposed
containers.
Extinguishing
Media: Carbon dioxide, dry
chemical or appropriate foam.
Fire Fighting
Instructions: Water can be
used to cool fire-exposed containers, personnel and to disperse spills.
HEALTH HAZARD
DATA
Primary Routes of
Entry: Mist inhalation and
skin contact
Eyes: High vapor concentrations can cause severe
eye irritation.
Skin: Prolonged or repeated contact with liquid or
mist can cause skin irritation.
Ingestion: Symptoms may include ataxia, followed by
rapid recovery. The concentrated liquid
is a strong irritant to mucous membranes and the respiratory system.
Inhalation: Overexposure may cause anesthetic effect with
respiratory irritation.
EMERGENCY AND
FIRST AID
Eyes: Immediately flush with large amounts of water
for at least 15 minutes, lifting the eye lids occasionally. If irritation persists, consult a physician.
Skin: Immediately flush with plenty water. Remove contaminated clothing. If symptoms persist seek medical attention.
Ingestion: Keep person quiet and get immediate medical
attention. Consult a physician before
any attempt to induce vomiting. This
product can be strongly irritating to mucous membranes.
Inhalation: Remove individual to fresh air. Obtain medical attention if effects of
overexposure develop.
REACTIVITY
DATA
Stability: Stable
Incompatible
Materials: Strong
acids. Do not use for dehydration of
hydrated manganese or nickel perchlorate, as violent explosions will occur.
Hazardous
Polymerization: Will
not occur.
SPILL,
DISPOSAL AND STORAGE INFORMATION
Spill: Eliminate all ignition sources. Evacuate area. Stop spill at source and dike spill area to prevent
spreading. Absorb liquid with sand or
similar absorbent material. Sweep up
and keep in tightly closed containers for disposal. Ventilate area and wash spill site after material pick up is
complete.
Disposal: Incineration is the recommended disposal
method for dimethoxypropane. Burn in a
chemical incinerator equipped with an afterburner and scrubber but exert extra
care in igniting.
DMP is a highly
flammable liquid. Consult with local,
state and federal regulations before proceeding.
Storage: Store only in areas suitable for flammable
liquid and away from all ignition sources.
Keep containers tightly closed at all times. Store in a cool, dry place and with adequate ventilation.
PROTECTIVE
EQUIPMENT AND CONTROL MEASURES
Ventilation: Provide local exhaust and mechanical ventilation
when used in a confined area.
Eye/Face: Chemical splash goggles, or full face shield.
Skin: Rubber or other impervious chemical resistant
gloves.
Respiratory: Use a NIOSH/MSHA approved respirator with
organic vapor canister.
