Hazards

Reactivity Alerts
Air & Water Reactions
Highly flammable.
Fire Hazard
Special Hazards of Combustion Products: Smoke contains hydrogen chloride and it may contain phosgene; both components are highly toxic gases.

Behavior in Fire: Can react with aluminum, magnesium and their alloys. Can generate highly irritating and explosive vapors. (USCG, 1999)
Health Hazard
Toxic; may be fatal if inhaled, swallowed or absorbed through the skin. Inhalation causes gasping, refusal to breathe and respiratory distress. Contact may cause burns to skin and eyes. Ingestion may cause acute gastrointestinal distress with congestion and edema of the lungs. (USCG, 1999)
Reactivity Profile
Halogenated aliphatic compounds, such as DICHLOROPROPANE - DICHLOROPROPENE, are moderately or very reactive. Halogenated organics generally become less reactive as more of their hydrogen atoms are replaced with halogen atoms. Low molecular weight haloalkanes are highly flammable and can react with some metals to form dangerous products. Materials in this group are incompatible with strong oxidizing and reducing agents. Also, they are incompatible with many amines, nitrides, azo/diazo compounds, alkali metals, and epoxides. Behavior in Fire: Can react with aluminum, magnesium and their alloys. Can generate highly irritating and explosive vapors (USCG, 1999).

Response Recommendations

Isolation and Evacuation
No information available.
Firefighting
Fire Extinguishing Agents: Small fires: dry chemicals, CO2, water spray or foam; large fires: water spray, fog or foam. (USCG, 1999)
Non-Fire Response
Neutralizing Agents for Acids and Caustics: Sodium bicarbonate or sand and soda ash mixture. (USCG, 1999)
Protective Clothing
Wear self contained (positive pressure if available) breathing apparatus and full protective clothing. This material will penetrate ordinary rubber protective equipment such as boots and gloves; therefore chemical resistant equipment must be worn. (USCG, 1999)
DuPont Tychem® Suit Fabrics

First Aid
INHALATION: Move victim to fresh air. If breathing has stopped, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical attention.

EYES: Immediately flush eyes with running water for at least 15 min.; hold eyelids open if neccessary. Continue to flush eyes with water during transport to treatment facilities.

SKIN: Immediately deluge exposed area with water for at least 15 min.; Remove and isolate contaminated clothing and shoes at the site. Wash contaminated area with soap and water.

INGESTION: If victim is conscious, give no more than 2 glasses of water. Induce vomiting either by giving 30 cc (2 tablespoons) Syrup of Ipecac or by touching the back of the throat. If victim is unconscious or having convulsions, do nothing but keep victim quiet and maintain normal body temperature. (USCG, 1999)
