Special Fire Fighting Procedures:
Firefighters should wear a self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective gear. Extinguishing media should be chosen based on the nature of the
surrounding fire. Cool fire-exposed containers with water spray to prevent bursting.
Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards:
Vapors are heavier than air and may travel to distant and/or low-lying sources of ignition and flashback. The use of water spray (fog), while effective, may
cause frothing and foaming. Never use a water jet as this will just spread the fire.Use care as spills may be slippery.
Section V - Health and Hazard Data
Threshold Limit Value:
Not Established for Mixture. See Section II.
Effects of Overexposure:
Acute: (Short Term Exposure)
EYE CONTACT: Causes severe irritation seen as stinging, tearing, redness, and a burning sensation.
SKIN CONTACT: Causes irritation seen as itching and redness. Prolonged or repeated contact may cause dryness, flaking, and burns. May cause allergic skin
reactions seen as delayed skin rash which may be followed by blistering, scaling, and other skin effects. Product may be absorbed through the skin in harmful
amounts.
INHALATION: May cause respiratory irritation seen as coughing and sneezing. Inhalation may cause central nervous system effects such as headache, dizziness,
drowsiness, weakness, unconciousness, possible anesthetic effects from central nervous system depression, and may be fatal. A single brief exposure to levels
above 6000 ppm may be immediately fatal. Excessive exposure may potentially increase sensitivity to epinephrine and increase myocardial irritability.
Excessive exposure may cause carboxyhemoglobinemia, thereby impairing the blood's ability to transport oxygen. Initial symptoms are characterized by
vomiting, headache, blurring of vision, ataxia, weakness, dizziness, stupor, rapid heartbeat, syncope, dyspnea, respiratory distress, and death due to
anoxia. This can be additive to the increase caused by smoking and other carbon monoxide sources. Alcohol consumed before or after exposure may increase
adverse effects.
INGESTION: Causes irritation with possible nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. May cause central nervous system effects similar to inhalation. Ingestion and
subsequent vomiting of this product can lead to aspiration of the product into the lungs which can cause damage and may be fatal.
Chronic: (Long Term Exposure)
May cause skin sensitization in some individuals. Exposure may result in cardiac sensitization and increase the risk of cardiac arrest. May cause kidney or
liver damage. On rare occasions, prolonged and repeated exposure to hydrocarbon mist poses a risk of chronic lung inflammation. This condition is usually
asymptomatic as a result of repeated small aspirations. Shortness of breath and coughing are the most common symptoms. Aspiration may lead to pulmonary edema
and hemorrhage and may be fatal. Signs of lung involvement include increased respiration and heart rates as well as a bluish discoloration of the skin.
Chronic skin contact may promote dermatitis and oil acne. In rarer cases, an increased senstivity to sunlight (photosensitivity) may occur.
Medical conditions aggravated by exposure: pre-existing respiratory and skin conditions such as asthma, emphysema, and dermatitis; pre-existing liver and
kidney diseases; and rhythm disorders of the heart. Carboxyhemoglobinemia may aggravate any pre-existing condition sensitive to a decrease in available
oxygen, such as chronic lung diseases, coronary artery diseases, or anemias.
Target organs: liver, kidneys, heart, blood-forming organs, and central nervous system. The primary routes of exposure are skin and eye contact.

Primary Routes of Entry
[] Inhalation [] Ingestion [] Absorption
Emergency First Aid Procedures:
Inhalation:
Remove from the area to fresh air. If not breathing, clear the airway and start mouth to mouth artificial respiration. Get immediate medical attention.
Eye Contact:
Immediately rinse the eyes with water. Remove any contact lenses and continue flushing for at least 15 minutes. Hold the eyelids apart to ensure rinsing of
the entire surface of the eyes and lids with water. Get immediate medical attention.
Skin Contact:
Immediately remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Flush affected areas with large amounts of water for 20 to 30 minutes. Get immediate medical attention.
Discard clothing and shoes.
Ingestion:
Give 3 to 4 glasses of water, but DO NOT induce vomiting. If vomiting occurs, give fluids again. Get immediate medical attention. Do not give anything by
mouth to an unconscious or convulsing person.
Notes to Physician:
Chlorinated Hydrocarbons may sensitize the heart to Epinephrine and other circulating catecholamines so that arrhythmias may occur. Careful consideration of
this potential adverse effect should precede administration of epinephrine or other cardiac stimulants and the selection of bronchodilators. Ingestion and
subsequent vomiting of this product can lead to aspiration of the product into the lungs which can cause damage and may be fatal. Depending on the amount
ingested and retained as well as the toxicity of the product, gastric lavage should be considered. Keep patient's head below hips to prevent pulmonary
aspiration. If comatose, a cuffed endotracheal tube will prevent aspiration.

Methylene Chloride has been evaluated for possible cancer causing effects in laboratory animals. Inhalation studies at concentrations of 2000 and 4000 ppm
increased the incidence of malignant liver and lung tumors in mice. Three inhalation studies of rats have shown increased incidence of benign mammary gland
tumors in female rats at concentrations of 500 ppm and above and increases in benign mammary gland tumors in males at concentrations of 1500 ppm and above.
Rats exposed to 50 and 200 ppm via inhalation showed no increased incidence of tumors. Mice and rats exposed by ingestion at levels up to 250 mg/kg/day
lifetime and hamsters exposed via inhalation to concentrations up to 3500 ppm lifetime did not show an increased incidence of tumors. 4.
Epidemiology studies of 751 humans chronically exposed to Methylene Chloride in the workplace of which 252 were exposed for a minimum of 20 years did not
demonstrate any increase in deaths caused by cancer or cardiac problems. A second study of 2227 workers confirmed these results. 4.
Laboratory animal studies on mice, rats, and rabbits have been conducted to evaluate the potential reproductive and developmental effects of Methylene
Chloride exposures. Methlyene Chloride exposure has not been shown to cause teratogenic effects (birth defects) in experimental animals. 4.

Section IX - Special Protection Information
Required Ventilation:
Local ventilation is recommended to control exposure from operations that can generate excessive levels of mists or vapors. Local ventilation is preferred,
because it prevents dispersion into work areas by controlling it at its source.
Respiratory Protection:
Respirators should be selected by and used under the direction of a trained health and safety professional following requirements found in OSHA's respirator
standard (29 CFR 1910.134) and ANSI's standard for respiratory protection (Z88.2-1992). For concentrations above the TLV and/or PEL but less than 10 times
these limits, a NIOSH approved half-facepiece respirator equipped with appropriate chemical cartridges may be used. For concentrations greater than 10 times
the TLV and/or PEL, consult the NIOSH respirator decision logic found in publication No. 87-116 or ANSI Z88.2-1992.
Glove Protection:
Viton or Polyvinyl Alcohol gloves should be worn. Ensure compliance with OSHA's personal protective equipment (PPE) standard for hand protection, 29 CFR
1910.138.
Eye Protection:
Chemical goggles should be worn when handling. Ensure compliance with OSHA's Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) standard for eye and face protection, 29 CFR
1910.133.
Other Protection:
Wear protective clothing when handling. Remove soaked clothing and shoes. A safety shower and an eyewash station should be available. Wash clothing and clean
shoes before re-use.
