3. HAZARD IDENTIFICATION
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW: Fumes are released in fire situations. Harmful if inhaled. Wear full protected
equipment. Prevent contamination of soil surface ,water or ground water.
SYMPTOMS OF OVER-EXPOSURE BY ROUTE OF EXPOSURE: The most significant route of over-exposure
for this product is by contact with the skin.
INHALATION: In high concentrations produces irritation to upper respiratory tract , vapors can cause
unconsciousness .
CONTACT WITH THE SKIN AND EYES: May cause pain and slight eye irritation. Vapors may irritate eyes.
Prolonged or repeated exposure may cause skin irritation. May cause drying or flaking of skin. A single prolonged
exposure is not likely to result in the material being absorbed through skin in harmful amounts.
INGESTION: may result in irritation of mouth and gastro-intestinal tract.
HEALTH EFFECTS OR RISKS FROM EXPOSURE: An Explanation in Lay Terms.
Persons having pre-existing diseases of the lungs, eyes or skin may have increased susceptibility to the hazards of
excessive exposure.
4. FIRST-AID MEASURES
SKIN EXPOSURE: If this product contaminates the skin, begin flushing with soap and water. Remove exposed or
contaminated clothing, taking care not to contaminate eyes. Contaminated individual must seek medical attention if
redness or irritation continues after area has been rinsed.
EYE EXPOSURE: If this product enters the eyes, open victim's eyes while under gently running water. Use
sufficient force to open eyelids. Have victim "roll" eyes. Minimum flushing is for 15 minutes.
INHALATION: Remove victim to fresh air. If necessary, use artificial respiration to support vital functions.
Remove or cover gross contamination to avoid exposure to rescuers. Call a physician and/or transport to
emergency facility immediately.

.
SPECIAL FIRE-FIGHTING PROCEDURES: Keep people away . Isolate fire area and deny unnecessary entry.
Burning liquids may be moved by flushing with water to protect personnel and minimize property damage. Stay
upwind. Wear positive-pressure self-contained breathing appratus (SCBA) and protective fire fighting clothing. If
possible, prevent run-off water from entering storm drains, bodies of water, or other environmentally sensitive areas.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
SPILL AND LEAK RESPONSE: Clear all personnel from area. Do not breathe vapors. Ventilate area of leak or spill.
Do not breathe vapors. Ventilate area of leak or spill. Wear protective equipment including positive pressure self
contained or air supplied breathing apparatus.
Contain liquid, prevent contamination of soil, surface water or ground water. Solvent material is heavier than water
and has limited water solubility. It will collect on the lowest surface.
Contain liquid, transfer to properly labeled closed containers. Place all spill in a suitable container and seal.
Dispose of in accordance with Federal, State and local hazardous waste disposal regulations (see Section 13,
Disposal Considerations).
7. HANDLING and USE
