Section 2: Hazards Identification
Emergency Overview
Appearance & Odor: Clear, colorless liquid with alcohol odor
DANGER
Extremely flammable. Harmful or fatal if swallowed. Contents under pressure.
As defined by OSHA's Hazard Communication Standard, this product is hazardous.
Potential Health Effects:
May cause mild irritation including stinging and redness, but does not injure eye.
EYE:
Single, brief exposures may cause mild irritation. Frequent or prolonged contact
SKIN:
may cause more severe irritation, defatting of the skin, and dermatitis.
High vapor concentrations are irritating to the respiratory tract and may cause
INHALATION:
headaches, dizziness, anesthesia, drowsiness, unconsciousness and other central
nervous system effects, including death. May cause peripheral nervous system
disorder and/or damage.
Low order of toxicity by ingestion. Main hazard is aspiration into the lungs during
INGESTION:
swallowing or vomiting. Small amounts aspirated into the respiratory system may
cause bronchopneumonia or pulmonary adema, possible progressing to death.
Overexposure to n-hexane may cause progressive and potentially irreversible
CHRONIC EFFECTS:
damage to the peripheral nervous system, particularly in the arms and legs.
central nervous system, peripheral nervous system, respiratory system
TARGET ORGANS:
Medical Conditions Aggravated by Exposure: skin and respiratory conditions
See Section 11 for toxicology and carcinogenicity information on product ingredients.

Section 4: First Aid Measures
Immediately flush with plenty of water for 15 minutes. Call a physician if irritation persists.
Eye Contact:
Remove contaminated clothing and wash affected area with soap and water. Call a physician
Skin Contact:
if irritation persists. Wash contaminated clothing prior to re-use.
Remove person to fresh air. Keep person calm. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If
Inhalation:
breathing is difficult give oxygen. Call a physician.
DO NOT induce vomiting. Contact a physician immediately.

your discretion.
Section 5: Fire-Fighting Measures
Flammable Properties: This product is extremely flammable in accordance with aerosol
flammability definitions (16 CFR 1500.3(c)(6) ).
Flash Point: < 0 F (TCC) Upper Explosive Limit: 9.0
Autoignition Temperature: 489 F Lower Explosive Limit: 1.7
Class B fire extinguishers, dry chemical, foam or CO2
Suitable Extinguishing Media:
fumes, smoke and carbon monoxide
Products of Combustion:
Firefighters should wear self-contained, NIOSH-approved breathing apparatus for
Protection of Fire-Fighters:
protection against suffocation and possible toxic decomposition products. Proper eye
and skin protection should be provided. Use water fog or spray to keep fire-exposed
containers cool and to knock down vapors which may result from product
decomposition. Do not spray water directly on fire; product will float and could be
reignited on surface of water.
Section 6: Accidental Release Measures
Use personal protection recommended in Section 8.
Personal Precautions:
Take precautions to prevent contamination of ground and surface waters. Do not flush
Environmental Precautions:
into sewers or storm drains.

Dike area to contain spill. Remove all sources of ignition. Ventilate the area
Methods for Containment & Clean-up:
with fresh air. If in confined space or limited air circulation area, clean-up
workers should wear appropriate respiratory protection. Recover or absorb
spilled material using an absorbent designed for chemical spills. Place used
absorbents into proper waste containers.
Section 7: Handling and Storage
Use proper grounding and bonding procedures for transferring materials. Do not use product
Handling Procedures:
near any source of ignition. Do not touch container to electrical sources as container will
conduct electricity. Avoid contact with eyes and skin. Avoid breathing vapors.
Store in a cool dry area out of direct sunlight. Aerosol cans must be maintained below 120 F
Storage Procedures:
to prevent cans from rupturing.
