Section 1: Product Identification Chemical Name:Copper(II) methoxide, 99% CAS Registry Number:1184-54-9 Formula:Cu(OCH3)2 EINECS Number:none Chemical Family:metal alkoxide Synonym:Cupric methylate Section 2: Composition and Information on Ingredients IngredientCAS NumberPercentACGIH (TWA)OSHA (PEL) Title compound1184-54-9100%no datano data Section 3: Hazards Identification Irritating to skin, eyes and respiratory tract. Moisture will produce methanol vapor which may cause blindness, Emergency Overview: intoxication, dizziness and coma. Primary Routes of Exposure:Ingestion, inhalation, contact with skin and eyes. Eye Contact:Causes severe irritation to the eyes. Delayed blindness may occur through atrophy of the optic nerve. Skin Contact:Dehydrating agent. Liquid causes slight to mild irritation of the skin. Inhalation:Methanol vapor is irritating to the respiratory tract and may cause headache, dizziness, coma and blindness. Ingestion:Ingestion may cause nausea, vomiting, headache, coma and death. Irritating to skin, eyes and respiratory tract. Methanol vapors may cause blurred vision, blindness, intoxication, Acute Health Affects: dizziness, headache, nausea, coma and death. Rapid hydrolysis on human contact produces methanol which may cause atrophy of the optic nerve producing Chronic Health Affects:blindness. The dust of copper compounds may cause metal fume fever, hemolysis of the red blood cells and injury to the liver, lungs, kidneys and pancreas. NTP:No IARC:No OSHA:No SECTION 4: First Aid Measures Immediately flush the eyes with copious amounts of water for at least 10-15 minutes. A victim may need Eye Exposure: assistance in keeping their eye lids open. Get immediate medical attention. Wash the affected area with water. Remove contaminated clothes if necessary. Seek medical assistance if Skin Exposure: irritation persists. Remove the victim to fresh air. Closely monitor the victim for signs of respiratory problems, such as difficulty Inhalation: in breathing, coughing, wheezing, or pain. In such cases seek immediate medical assistance. Seek medical attention immediately. Keep the victim calm. Give the victim water (only if conscious). Induce Ingestion: vomiting only if directed by medical personnel. SECTION 5: Fire Fighting Measures Flash Point:not applicable Autoignition Temperature:no data Explosion Limits:no data Extinguishing Medium:carbon dioxide, dry powder or foam If this product is involved in a fire, fire fighters should be equipped with a NIOSH approved positive pressure Special Fire Fighting Procedures: self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing. Hazardous Combustion andIf involved in a fire, this material may emit toxic organic fumes and copper oxide dust. Decomposion Products: Unusual Fire or Explosion Hazards: exposure to moisture may produce flammable methanol SECTION 6: Accidental Release Measures Spill and Leak Procedures:Avoid contact with water. Small spills can be mixed with vermiculite or sodium carbonate and swept up. SECTION 7: Handling and Storage Store the material cold, in a tightly sealed container. Handle the material in a ventilated area. If container is left Handling and Storage: open product may absorb moisture and carbon dioxide from atmosphere and release methanol vapor. SECTION 8: Exposure Controls and Personal Protection Eye Protection:Always wear approved safety glasses when handling a chemical substance in the laboratory. Skin Protection:Wear protective clothing and gloves. Ventilation:Handle the material in an efficient fume hood. If ventilation is not available a respirator should be worn. The use of respirators requires a Respirator Respirator: Protection Program to be in compliance with 29 CFR 1910.134. Ventilation:Handle the material in an efficient fume hood. Additional Protection:No additional protection required.
