Section III Primary Routes of Exposure:
Skin contact, eye contact, and inhalation.
Hazards
Identification Effects of Acute Exposure:
Eyes -- Contact with eyes may cause irritation including burning, watering, and redness.
Skin -- Contact may cause mild skin irritation including redness, burning, and drying and cracking
of skin. Continued exposure may develop into dermatitis. Solvents can penetrate the skin and cause
systematic effects similar to those under Inhalation symptoms.
Inhalation -- High vapor concentrations are irritating to the eyes and respiratory tract, may cause
headaches, dizziness, anesthesia, asthma, drowsiness, unconsciousness, and other central
nervous system effects, and possibly death.
Ingestion -- Can cause gastrointestinal irritation, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. Small amounts
aspirated into the respiratory system during ingestion or vomiting may cause mild to severe
pulmonary injury.
Chronic Health Effects:
Reports have associated repeated and prolonged occupational overexposure to solvents with
permanent brain and nervous system damage (sometimes referred to as Solvent or Painter's
Syndrome). Intentional misuse by deliberately concentrating and inhaling this material may be
harmful or fatal. Chronic exposure may also cause damage to the respiratory system, lungs, eyes,
skin, gastrointestinal tract, liver, spleen and kidneys. Repeated skin contact may cause persistent
irritation or dermatitis.
Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure:
Conditions aggravated by exposure may include skin disorders, respiratory (asthma-like) disorders,
and pre-existing liver or kidney conditions.

Section IV Emergency and First Aid Procedures:
First Aid Skin -- Thoroughly wash exposed area with soap and water. Remove contaminated clothing. Launder
Measures contaminated clothing before reuse. If irritation develops and persists, seek medical attention.
Eyes -- Flush with large amounts of water for 15 minutes, lifting upper and lower lids occasionally.
If symptoms persist, seek medical attention.
Ingestion -- Do not induce vomiting. Keep person warm, quiet and seek immediate medical attention.
Aspiration of material into lungs can cause severe lung damage. VOMITING CAN CAUSE CHEMICAL
PNEUMONITIS WHICH CAN BE FATAL.
Inhalation -- Move affected individual to fresh air. If breathing is difficult, qualified personnel should
administer oxygen. If breathing has stopped give artificial respiration. If respiratory symptoms
develop or persist, seek medical attention.

Extinguishing Media: Foam, CO2, or dry chemical is recommended. Water spray is recommended to cool

or protect exposed materials or structures.
Special Fire Fighting Procedures: Persons exposed to products of combustion should wear self-
contained breathing apparatus and full protective equipment. Isolate danger area, keep
unauthorized personnel out. Water may be ineffective for extinguishment, unless used under
favorable conditions by experienced fire fighters. Carbon dioxide can displace oxygen, exercise
caution when using CO2 in confined areas.
Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: Vapors may be ignited by heat, sparks, flames, or other sources of
ignition. Vapors are heavier than air and may travel considerable distances to a source of ignition
where they may cause a flashback or explosion. If container is not properly cooled, it can rupture in
the presence of excessive heat.
Steps to Be Taken in Case Material is Released or Spilled: Keep all sources of ignition and hot metal

surfaces away from spill/release. Use explosion-proof non-sparking equipment. Stay upwind from
Accidental
area. Isolate danger and keep unauthorized personnel out. Stop source of release if possible with
Release
minimal risk. Wear appropriate protective equipment including respiratory protection. Prevent spill
Measures from entering sewers, storm drains, or any other unauthorized treatment drainage systems and
natural waterways by diking ahead of the spill. Spilled material may be absorbed with an appropriate
spill kit. Notify fire authorities and appropriate federal, state, and local agencies if required.
Handling Information: Employees who come in contact with this material must be trained in accordance to
Section VII
1910.1200 of the Hazard Communication Standard. Open container slowly to relieve any pressure. Bond
Handling and
and ground all equipment when transferring from one vessel to another. Static charge can accumulate
Storage by flow or agitation. Ignition can occur by static discharge. The use of explosion proof equipment is
recommended and may be required. The use of respiratory protection is advised when concentrations
exceed any established exposure limits and in confined spaces. Use good industrial and personal
hygiene practice, wash thoroughly after handling, and do not wear contaminated clothing.
Storage Information: Keep containers tightly closed. Use and store material in cool, dry, well-ventilated
areas away from heat, direct sunlight, hot metal surfaces, and all sources of ignition. Post "No
smoking or open flame" sign. Store only in approved containers. Keep away from incompatible
materials (see section 10). Protect containers against physical damage. Indoor storage should meet
OSHA standards and appropriate fire codes.

of ignition. They may explode and cause severe personal injury or death. All containers should be dis-

(continued)
Respiratory Protection: Engineering or administrative controls should be implemented to reduce exposure.
Section VIII
A NIOSH/MSHA approved respirator with an organic vapor cartridge should be used under conditions

where airborne concentrations are expected to exceed exposure limits (See Section 2). Use a positive
Measures/
pressure air supplied respirator if there is potential for uncontrolled release, exposure levels are not
Personal known, or any other circumstances where air purifying respirators may not provide adequate protection.
Protection
Ventilation: If current ventilation practices are not adequate to maintain airborne concentrations below the
established exposure limits, additional ventilation or exhaust systems may be required. Where
explosive mixtures may be present, electrical systems safe for such locations must be used.
Protective Gloves: Prevent prolonged or repeated contact by wearing gloves impervious to solvents and
other appropriate protective clothing. Launder contaminated clothing before reuse.
Eye Protection: Wear safety glasses to reduce eye contact potential. Chemical safety goggles (ANSI Z87.1
or approved equivalent) are appropriate if splashing is likely. Eye washes must be available where eye
contact can occur.
Other Protective Clothing or Equipment: A source of clean water should be available for flushing eyes and
skin. Showers should be available if larger spills are possible.
Work/Hygienic Practices: Efforts should be made to minimize contact and spills. Always wash hands
before eating, drinking, or smoking. Clean up spills promptly. Follow OSHA and company guidelines.
