Route Of Entry Inds - Inhalation: YES
Skin: YES
Ingestion: YES
Carcinogenicity Inds - NTP: NO
IARC: NO
OSHA: NO
Effects of Exposure: HARMFUL BY INGESTION, INHALATION, AND SKIN ABSORPTION.
  MATERIAL IS EXTREMELY DESTRUCTIVE TO TISSUE OF THE MUCOUS MEMBRANES AND UPPER
  RESPIRATORY TRACT, EYES AND SKIN, INHALATION MAY BE FATAL AS A RESU LT OF
  SPASM, INFLAMMATION, AND EDEMA OF THE LARYNX AND BRONCHI, CHEMICAL
  PNEUMONITIS AND PULMONARY EDEMA. SYMPTOMS OF EXPOSURE MAY INCLUDE BURNING
  SENSATION, COUGHING, WEEZING, LARYNGITIS, SHORTNESS O F BREATH, HEADACHE,
  NAUSEA, AND VOMITING. TO THE BEST OF MFR'S KNOWLEDGE THE CHEMICAL, PHYSICAL,
  AND TOXICOLOGICAL PROPERTIES HAVE NOT BEEN THOROUGHLY INVESTIGATED.
Signs And Symptions Of Overexposure: SEE HEALTH HAZARDS.
  MEDICAL ATTENTION. SKIN: FLUSH IMMEDIATELY WITH PLENTY OF WATER, FOLLOWED BY
  THOROUGH SOAP AND WATER WASHINGS. SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION  FOR ANY ADVERSE
  CONDITIONS. INHALATION: REMOVE FROM EXPOSURE INTO FRESH AIR. REST AND KEEP
  WARM. IF ANY ADVERSE SIGNS APPEAR, GET MEDICAL ATTENTION. INGESTION: FLUSH
  OUT MOUTH WITH WATER, ENSURING RIN SE IS NOT SWALLOWED.

Fire and Explosion Hazard Information 
*
Extinguishing Media: CO*2, DRY CHEMICAL POWDER, OR FOAM. WATER MUST BE USED
  WITH GREAT CAUTION.
Fire Fighting Procedures: USE NIOSH APPROVED SCBA & FULL PROTECTIVE
  EQUIPMENT (FP N). FLAMMABLE LIQUID.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard: CONTACT W/FIRE MAY PRODUCE IRRIT &/TOX
  FUMES. AVOID H*2O IF POSS, SINCE BSTFA WILL REACT SOMEWHAT W/H*2O.
  HEXAMETHYLDISILAZANE (HMDS), FLAMM LIQ, IS FORMED WHEN BSTFA HYDROLYZES IN
  H*2O CNTNR EXPLOSIO N MAY OCCUR UNDER FIRE CNDTNS. VAP MAY TRAVEL
  CONSIDERABLE DISTANCE TO SOURCE OF IGNITION & FLASH BACK.
