B. FIRST AID MEASURES

In case of contact with eyes,
wash eyes copiously with water, occasionally lifting the lower and upper lids. Obtain medical attention promptly.

In case of contact with skin,

immediately wash skin with soap and water while removing contaminated clothing. Obtain me dical attention if defatting action of acetone causes skin cracking or dermatitis.

If inhaled,

remove the patient from contaminated atmosphere to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial repiration, preferably mouth-to-mouth. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen which is admisrered only by trained personnel. Obtain medical attention promptly.

If swalled,

and if conscious, give 2 tablespoons of Syrup of IPECAC followed by 3/4 glass of water to induce vomiting. Repeat administration of Syrup of IPECAC and water if vomiting does not occur within 20 minutes. Rest patient and give o xygen administered only by trained personnel. Call a physician at once.
C. HAZARDS INFORMATION

FIRE AND EXPLOSION
FLASH POINT : -17℃ □ OPEN CUP CLOSED CUP

AUTOIGNITION TEMPERATURE : 465℃

FLAMMABLE LIMITS IN AIR(% BY VOL.) : LOWER : 2.15 UPPER : 13

UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS : Acetone is extremely flammable and its vapors form explosive mixtures with air. Dangerous where exposed to heat, sparks, flame or oxidants.

HEALTH

INHALATION : Vapor concentration of 2500-3000 ppm causes minor irritation of eyes, nose and throat. Inhalation of h igher concentration may cause headache, nausea, confusion, drowsiness, convulsions and coma.

TXDS : INHL. HMN. TCL = 5000ppm. TFX : Eye

INGESTION : Ingestion of toxic dose can cause gastroenteric irritation, narcosis and injury to the kidneys and l iver.

TXDS : ORL.HMN. LDL = 50mg/kg

SKIN : Prolonged exposure to the vapor irritates the skin. Repeated and prolonged contact of the liquid with ski n can cause dryness and erythema. TXDS : Skin-Rabbit LD : 20mg/kg

HEALTH (Continued)

EYES : Acetone is an irritant to the eyes and mucous membranes.

IRDS : Eye. HMN. 500ppm.

PERMISSIBLE CONCENTRATION : (SEE SECTION J) AIR (OSHA Standard) Air TWA = 1000ppm(2400mg/m3)

BIOLOGICAL : NOT Applicable.

UNUSUAL CHRONIC TOXICITY : Acetone is not known to produce chronic or cumulative systemetic effects.
D. PRECAUTIONS/PROCEDURES

VENTILATION :
Good ventilation is essential in areas where acetone is handled to prevent the accumulation of explos ive mixtures. Explosion-proof fans should be used in mechanical type ventilation system. Under normal conditions the atm ospheric concentration of acetone vapor must be kept low enough to prevent irritation of the mucous membranes and discom fort to the workers.

Under abnormal conditions, such as leaks or spills, special emergency ventilating equipment may be necessary.

NORMAL HANDLING :

Danger! Extremely flammable. Keep away from heat, sparks and flame.

Electrically ground all ha ndling equipment.

Keep container closed.

Do not use air pressure to unload acetone from container.

Use adequate. Keep co ntainer closed.

Do not use air pressure to unload acetone from container.

Use adequate ventilation.(cf. Section E - Resp iratory Protection).

Observe OSHA regulations on exposure limits.

Avoid prolonged or frequently repeated breathing of vapors.

Avoid prolonge d or frequent contact with skin.

Wear safely glasses with cup-type shilds or goggles, face shield, natural rubber or neo prene gloves, hard hat and safety shoes in normal handling operations.

Whenever handling operations are such that gross contact with the liquid is unavoidable, the handler should wear full protective equipment and clothing comprising chemic al goggles, face shield, hard hat, and natural rubber or neoprene jacket, trousers, gloves and shoes or boots.

STORAGE :

Protect container against physical damage. Store in accordance with OSHA Regulation 29 CFR 1910.106 in a cool, well-ventilated location equipped with automatic sprinklers or fire extinguishing system.

Keep away from source s of ignition and oxidizing materials. "Empty" containers unless thoroughly cleaned, must be assumed to have t he same hazards as full ones.

PRECAUTIONARY LABEL :

□ ATTACHED NOT ATTACHED

D.O.T Classification : Flammable liquid

Allied corporation Product Label.

Danger! Extremely flammable

D.O.T. Label : Flammable liquid

Empty container warning label.

SPILL OR LEAK :

Eliminate all sources of ignition in the vicinity of spill or released vapors. Isolate the spill area. Permit only trained personnel wearing full personal protective clothing and equipment to enter the spill area. Te rminate the leak immediately, if possible. Collect the spill in a waste container for disposal. Then flush the spill are a thoroughly with water; wash contaminated equipment thoroughly with water. Flushing and wash water must be contained an d prevented from entering a waterway. Spills of acetone should be reported to appropriate Local Environmental Agencies. Adequately ventilate the area.

FIRE EXTINGUISHING AGENTS RECOMMENDED :

Small Fire : Use carbon dioxide or dry chemical
Large Fire : Use "alcohol" type form ; water spray will reduce intensity of flames. Acetone
- water solutions containing more than 2.5wt.% acetone are flammable mixtures.


SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING PRECAUTIONS :

Handles as very flammable liquid. Use water spray to keep fire-exposed conta iners cool. Do not enter the fire area without proper personal protective equipment including self-contained breathing a pparatus.

FIRE EXTINGUISHING AGENTS TO AVOID :

No standard agent.

SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS/PROCEDURES :

Care should be exercised when transporting material to prevent leak. Keep drums containing acetone tightly closed and away from heat, sparks and open flames. Vent drum or shipping tank before unloadi ng the acetone from containers.

Wear protective clothing (see "NORMAL HANDLING" above) when unloading.
E. PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT

RESPIRATORY PROTECTION :
·Less than 5,000 ppm : Gas mask with an organic vapor canister(chin style).
·Less than 10,000 ppm : Gas mask with an organic vapor canister(front and back mounted).

·Liquid contact likely : Wear safety glasses with cup-type side shields or chemical goggles, and face shield.
·Vapor contact likely : Wear personal protective equipment described under "respiratory protection"

HANDS, ARMS, AND BODY :

Natural rubber or neoprene glove, shoes, jacket, trousers, hard hat.
