Section 3 - Hazards Identification

Appearance: colorless liquid. Flash Point: 31 deg C.
Danger! Flammable liquid. Breathing vapors may cause drowsiness and dizziness. Causes skin irritation. May cause lung damage.
Target Organs: Central nervous system, lungs, respiratory system, cardiovascular system, skin.


Potential Health Effects
Eye: May cause eye irritation.
Skin: Causes skin irritation. May be harmful if absorbed through the skin.
Ingestion: Aspiration hazard. May cause irritation of the digestive tract. May cause nausea and vomiting. May be harmful if swallowed. May cause lung damage.
Inhalation: May cause respiratory tract irritation. Harmful if inhaled. Aspiration hazard. Inhalation of vapors may cause drowsiness and dizziness.
Chronic: Prolonged or repeated skin contact may cause defatting and dermatitis.

Section 4 - First Aid Measures

Eyes: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Get medical aid.
Skin: Get medical aid. Immediately flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes.
Ingestion: Get medical aid. Do NOT induce vomiting. If conscious and alert, rinse mouth and drink 2-4 cupfuls of milk or water.
Inhalation: Remove from exposure and move to fresh air immediately. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical aid. Do NOT use mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. If breathing has ceased apply artificial respiration using oxygen and a suitable mechanical device such as a bag and a mask.
Notes to Physician: Treat symptomatically and supportively.

Section 5 - Fire Fighting Measures

General Information: As in any fire, wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and full protective gear. Vapors can travel to a source of ignition and flash back. Will burn if involved in a fire. Flammable Liquid. Can release vapors that form explosive mixtures at temperatures above the flashpoint. Use water spray to keep fire-exposed containers cool. Water may be ineffective. Material is lighter than water and a fire may be spread by the use of water. Containers may explode in the heat of a fire. Vapors may be heavier than air. They can spread along the ground and collect in low or confined areas.
Extinguishing Media: Use water spray to cool fire-exposed containers. Water may be ineffective. Use water spray, dry chemical, carbon dioxide, or chemical foam.
Flash Point: 31 deg C ( 87.80 deg F)
Autoignition Temperature: 206 deg C ( 402.80 deg F)
Explosion Limits, Lower:0.8 Vol %
Upper: 2.9 Vol %
NFPA Rating: (estimated) Health: 2; Flammability: 3; Instability: 0

Section 6 - Accidental Release Measures

General Information: Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated in Section 8.
Spills/Leaks: Absorb spill with inert material (e.g. vermiculite, sand or earth), then place in suitable container. Avoid runoff into storm sewers and ditches which lead to waterways. Clean up spills immediately, observing precautions in the Protective Equipment section. Remove all sources of ignition. Use a spark-proof tool. A vapor suppressing foam may be used to reduce vapors.

Section 7 - Handling and Storage

Handling: Use with adequate ventilation. Ground and bond containers when transferring material. Use spark-proof tools and explosion proof equipment. Empty containers retain product residue, (liquid and/or vapor), and can be dangerous. Keep away from heat, sparks and flame. Do not get on skin or in eyes. Do not ingest or inhale. Do not pressurize, cut, weld, braze, solder, drill, grind, or expose empty containers to heat, sparks or open flames. Do not breathe vapor or mist.
Storage: Keep away from heat, sparks, and flame. Keep away from sources of ignition. Store in a tightly closed container. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible substances. Flammables-area.

Section 8 - Exposure Controls, Personal Protection

Engineering Controls: Facilities storing or utilizing this material should be equipped with an eyewash facility and a safety shower. Use adequate general or local explosion-proof ventilation to keep airborne levels to acceptable levels.

Section 12 - Ecological Information

Ecotoxicity: No data available. No information available.
Environmental: Terrestrial: Photolysis or hydrolysis is not expected to be important in soils. Biodegradation may occur in soils; however, volatilization and adsorption are expected to be far more important fate processes. Aquatic: Photolysis and hydrolysis in aquatic systems are not expected to be important. The log bioconcentration factor has been estimated to range from 3.31 to 3.92, suggesting bioconcentration may be an important fate process in aquatic systems. Atmospheric: Expected to exist almost entirely in the vapor phase in ambient air.
Physical: No information available.
Other: Do not empty into drains.

Section 13 - Disposal Considerations
