See Section 9 for Flammability Properties 

Slight fire hazard. Dust/air mixtures may ignite or explode. 

regular dry chemical, regular foam, water Large fires: Use regular foam or flood with fine water spray. 

Move container from fire area if it can be done without risk. Fight large fires from a protected location or safe distance. Stay away from the ends of tanks. Dike for later disposal. Do not scatter spilled material with high-pressure water streams. Use extinguishing agents appropriate for surrounding fire. Avoid inhalation of material or combustion by-products. Stay upwind and keep out of low areas. 

Do not touch spilled material. Stop leak if possible without personal risk. Reduce vapors with water spray. Small spills: Absorb with sand or other non-combustible material. Collect spilled material in appropriate container for disposal. Small dry spills: Move containers away from spill to a safe area. Large spills: Dike for later disposal. Keep unnecessary people away, isolate hazard area and deny entry. Ventilate closed spaces before entering. 

Store and handle in accordance with all current regulations and standards. Store in a cool, dry place. Store in a tightly closed container. Keep separated from incompatible substances. 

Component Exposure Limits 

Biological limit value 

Provide local exhaust ventilation system. Ventilation equipment should be explosion-resistant if explosive concentrations of material are present. Ensure compliance with applicable exposure limits. 

Eyes/Face Wear splash resistant safety goggles. Provide an emergency eye wash fountain and quick drench shower in the immediate work area. 

Wear appropriate chemical resistant clothing. 

Wear appropriate chemical resistant gloves. 

Under conditions of frequent use or heavy exposure, respiratory protection may be needed. Respiratory protection is ranked in order from minimum to maximum. Consider warning properties before use. Any particulate respirator equipped with an N95, R95, or P95 filter (including N95, R95, and P95 filtering facepieces) except quarter-mask respirators. The following filters may also be used: N99, R99, P99, N100, R100 or P100. Any air-purifying full-facepiece respirator equipped with an N95, R95, or P95 filter. The following filters may also be used: N99, R99, P99, N100, R100 or P100. Any powered, air-purifying respirator with a high-efficiency particulate filter. Any powered, air-purifying respirator with a tight-fitting facepiece and a high-efficiency particulate filter. Any supplied-air respirator with a full facepiece that is operated in a pressure-demand or other positive-pressure mode. For Unknown Concentrations or Immediately Dangerous to Life or Health - Any supplied-air respirator with a full facepiece that is operated in a pressure-demand or other positive-pressure mode in combination with an auxiliary self-contained breathing apparatus operated in pressure-demand or other positive-pressure mode. Any self-contained breathing apparatus that has a full facepiece and is operated in a pressure-demand or other positive-pressure mode. 

May decompose violently on heating. 

Avoid heat, flames, sparks and other sources of ignition. Containers may rupture or explode if exposed to heat.

Component Carcinogenicity

None of this product's components are listed by ACGIH, IARC, NTP, DFG or OSHA

BROMONITROBENZENE: May cause irritation If sufficient amounts are absorbed, methemoglobinemia may occur as detailed in ingestion.

BROMONITROBENZENE No data available.

BROMONITROBENZENE: May cause irritation Skin absorption may occur and may result in methemoglobinemia as detailed in ingestion.

BROMONITROBENZENE No data available.

BROMONITROBENZENE May cause irritation.

BROMONITROBENZENE No data available.

METHEMOGLOBIN FORMERS: At about 15% concentration of methemoglobin, observable cyanosis of the lips, nose and earlobes may appear Symptoms may be absent although euphoria, flushed face and headache are common At 25-40%, cyanosis is marked, but little disability occurs except on exertion At 40-60%, symptoms may include weakness, dizziness, lightheadedness, increasingly severe headache, ataxia, rapid, shallow respiration, drowsiness, nausea, vomiting, confusion, lethargy, and stupor Above 60%, dyspnea, respiratory depression, tachycardia or bradycardia, convulsions, and coma may occur Levels above 70% may be fatal.

METHEMOGLOBIN FORMERS Compounds with cumulative properties may produce a persistent chronic type of methemoglobinemia which is the same as that produced by single large exposures.

BROMONITROBENZENE: See information on methemoglobin formers Large doses of bromides cause nausea and vomiting, abdominal pain, coma, and paralysis Symptoms from overdosage of bromides may include acneiform eruption, confusion, irritability, tremor, memory loss, anorexia, emaciation, headache, slurred speech, delusions, psychotic behavior, ataxia, stupor, and coma Blepharitis and conjunctivitis have been reported in some cases.
