If the chemical is escaping from a container The Vapor Density comparisonsĪre only valid when the gas escaping is at the same temperature as the However, make sure to alsoĬonsider the circumstances of a release. Short phrases have beenĪdded to those values below as an aid. The value to 1.0 can tell you if the chemical will likely sink/rise inĪir or sink/float in fresh water (respectively). Note: For Vapor Density and Specific Gravity, comparing The information in CAMEO Chemicals comes from a variety of Include properties such as vapor pressure andīoiling point, as well as explosive limits and IMMEDIATELY transport the victim to a hospital. If the victim is convulsing or unconscious, do not give anything by mouth, ensure that the victim's airway is open and lay the victim on his/her side with the head lower than the body. If the victim is conscious and not convulsing, give 1 or 2 glasses of water to dilute the chemical and IMMEDIATELY call a hospital or poison control center. Volatile chemicals have a high risk of being aspirated into the victim's lungs during vomiting which increases the medical problems. Whenever possible, Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) should be used if not available, use a level of protection greater than or equal to that advised under Protective Clothing. Provide proper respiratory protection to rescuers entering an unknown atmosphere. If symptoms (such as wheezing, coughing, shortness of breath, or burning in the mouth, throat, or chest) develop, call a physician and be prepared to transport the victim to a hospital. INHALATION: IMMEDIATELY leave the contaminated area take deep breaths of fresh air. If symptoms such as redness or irritation develop, IMMEDIATELY call a physician and be prepared to transport the victim to a hospital for treatment. Gently wash all affected skin areas thoroughly with soap and water. SKIN: IMMEDIATELY flood affected skin with water while removing and isolating all contaminated clothing. IMMEDIATELY transport the victim after flushing eyes to a hospital even if no symptoms (such as redness or irritation) develop. Do not put any ointments, oils, or medication in the victim's eyes without specific instructions from a physician. Flush victim's eyes with water or normal saline solution for 20 to 30 minutes while simultaneously calling a hospital or poison control center.

For massive fire, use unmanned master stream devices or monitor nozzles if this is impossible, withdraw from area and let fire burn. ALWAYS stay away from tanks engulfed in fire. Withdraw immediately in case of rising sound from venting safety devices or discoloration of tank. For petroleum crude oil, do not spray water directly into a breached tank car. Cool containers with flooding quantities of water until well after fire is out. If it can be done safely, move undamaged containers away from the area around the fire.įIRE INVOLVING TANKS OR CAR/TRAILER LOADS: Fight fire from maximum distance or use unmanned master stream devices or monitor nozzles. Avoid aiming straight or solid streams directly onto the product. LARGE FIRE: Water spray, fog or regular foam. SMALL FIRE: Dry chemical, CO2, water spray or regular foam. CAUTION: For mixtures containing alcohol or polar solvent, alcohol-resistant foam may be more effective. Use of water spray when fighting fire may be inefficient. Excerpt from ERG Guide 128 :ĬAUTION: The majority of these products have a very low flash point.
