Apollo Undo 6020
1- Chemical Product and Company Identification:
Product Name: Apollo Undo 6020
Product Type: Cyanoacrylate Remover
Date revised: 09/01/08
Emergency Number: 800-535-5053
2- Composition/Information on Ingredients:
Hazardous Component CAS Number %
Nitromethane 75-52-5 99-100
Exposure Limits (TWA) ACGIH (TLV) OSHA (PEL) OTHER
20ppm 50mg/m3 100ppm
3- Hazards Identification:
Toxicity: Possible eye and respiratory irritant. Narcotic at high
concentrations. Prolonged inhalation may cause headaches.
Moderately toxic by ingestion. Liquid may dry out skin. May cause
central nervous system effects.
Primary routes of Entry: Inhalation, Ingestion, contact.
Signs of exposure: Vapors irritate eyes, nose, and throat. Liquid is an eye irritant and
may irritate skin.
4- First Aid Measures:
Ingestion: Give water to dilute. Do not induce vomiting.
Keep individual calm and seek medical attention
Inhalation: Remove to fresh air. If breathing is
difficult, oxygen should be administered by qualified personnel.
If symptoms persist, obtain medical attention.
Skin contact: Wash in warm water.
Eye contact: Flush with warm water thoroughly for several minutes. Seek
medical attention.
5- Fire Fighting Measures:
Flash Point: 96癋, Tag Closed Cup
Extinguishing Media: Water fog or fine spray, foam, Dry Chemical or
Carbon dioxide

Unusual Fire or Explosion Hazards:
Container may explode from gas generation in a fire. Nitromethane contaminated with
sensitizing compounds (amines, alkalis, acids)may become shock sensitive. Vapors are
heavier than air and may travel a long distance and accumulate in low lying areas. Ignition or
flashback may occur. Flammable concentrations of vapor may accumulate at temperatures
above flashpoint.
Special Fire Fighting Procedures:
Keep people away. Isolate fire. Stay upwind. Keep out of low lying areas where gases can
accumulate. Water may not be effective in extinguishing fire. Use water spray to cool fire
exposed containers until fire is out and danger of reigniting has passed. Immediately withdraw
all personnel from area if nitromethane is confined in tanks or process vessels. Do not attempt
to fight fire. Burning liquids can be extinguished by dilution with water. Do not use direct water
stream, as this may spread fire. Do not use bicarbonate based dry chemical extinguishers (class
BC), as reaction with this can form salts that may reignite when dry. Water fog applied gently
can be used as a blanket for fire extinguishment.
Hazardous Products Formed by
Fire or Thermal decomposition: Irritating or toxic Organic Vapors, carbon monoxide,
Carbon dioxide and nitrogen oxides.
6-Accidental Release Measures
Steps to be taken in case of spill or leak: Avoid flame and sparks. Maintain adequate
ventilation. Collect in suitable and properly labeled
containers. Use non-sparking tools for clean up.
Ground and bond all containers and handling
equipment. Pump with explosion- proof equipment.
Use foam to smother or suppress.
7- Handling and Storage:
Safe storage: Store away from flame and sparks.
Handling: Keep container tightly closed. Avoid contact with skin and eyes.
Avoid breathing vapors.
Do not use around heat, sparks, or open flame.
Avoid mixing with strong alkalis or amines.
Use with adequate ventilation. Otherwise use self contained
breathing apparatus.
8- Protective Equipment:
Ventilation: Local exhaust ventilation recommended to maintain vapor level
below TLV.
Respiratory protection: Not applicable with good local exhaust. Otherwise, use self
contained breathing apparatus
Skin: Polyethylene or non-reactive gloves.
Eye protection: Safety glasses or goggles with side shields.

carcinogen.
12-Ecological Information
Based on OECD guidelines, this material cannot be considered as readily biodegradable;
however that doesn't necessarily mean that the material is not biodegradable under
environmental conditions.
This material is slightly toxic to aquatic organisms on an acute basis (LC50/EC50 between 10
and 100 mg/L).
13- Disposal Considerations:
Disposal procedures: Do not dump into sewers, on the ground, or into any body
of water. All disposal practices must be in compliance with
all Federal, State/Provincial and local laws and regulations.
For unused and uncontaminated product, the preferred
options include sending to a licensed, permitted incinerator
or other thermal destruction device.
