POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS
EYE:
May cause eye irritation or discomfort.
SKIN:
Harmful if absorbed through the skin. Prolonged or repeated contact may
result in drying of the skin which may result in skin irritation and
dermatitis.
INHALATION:
Vapor inhalation and/or skin absorption can cause central nervous system
effects, including dizziness, light-headedness, headache, nausea and loss
of coordination. Continued inhalation may result in unconsciousness and
death. Chronic exposures may cause hearing loss, irregular heart rhythms
and potential cardiac arrest.
FPS Cold Weather Plus LT Page 3
RTN Number: 31214 September 22, 2008
Moderately irritating to respiratory tract.
INGESTION:
Liquid can directly enter the lungs when swallowed or vomited. Serious
lung damage and possibly fatal chemical pneumonia can develop if this
occurs.
SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF EXPOSURE:
Effects of overexposure may include eye and skin irritation, irritation of
the nose and throat. Central nervous system effects include dizziness,
headache, drowsiness, loss of coordination, fatigue, giddiness, loss of
appetite and abdominal pain. Symptoms of ingestion include irritation of
digestive tract, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea.
CARCINOGENICITY INFORMATION:
Vinyl Acetate Monomer has been classified by the International Agency for
Research on Cancer as possibly carcinogenic to humans (Group 2B). This
IARC classification was based upon limited evidence of carcinogenicity to
animals and inadequate evidence of carcinogenicity to humans.
Ethylbenzene has been classified by IARC as a possible human carcinogen
(Group 2B) on the basis of sufficient evidence of carcinogenicity in
experimental animals, but inadequate evidence in exposed humans.
TARGET ORGAN:
Target organs: Heart, Auditory System.
4. FIRST AID MEASURES
EYE CONTACT FIRST AID:
In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at
least 15 minutes. Remove any contact lenses if worn. Get medical
attention if irritation develops or persists.
SKIN CONTACT FIRST AID:
Wash skin with plenty of soap and water while removing contaminated
clothing and shoes. Get medical attention if irritation develops or
persists. Wash clothing separately before reuse.
INHALATION FIRST AID:
Remove to fresh air.
If not breathing, give artificial respiration and contact a physician
immediately. If breathing is difficult, administer oxygen and contact a
physician immediately.
FPS Cold Weather Plus LT Page 4
RTN Number: 31214 September 22, 2008
INGESTION FIRST AID:
If swallowed, do NOT induce vomiting, but have the victim rinse mouth with
water, and then drink 2 - 4 cupfuls of water. Get immediate medical
attention. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
If vomiting occurs spontaneously, keep head below hips to prevent
aspiration.
NOTES TO PHYSICIAN:
Activated charcoal mixture may be administered. To prepare activated
charcoal mixture, suspend 50 grams activated charcoal in 400 mls of water
and mix thoroughly. Administer 5 ml/kg or 350 ml for an average adult.
Because of the danger of aspiration, emesis or gastric lavage should not
be employed unless the risk justified by the presence of additional toxic
substances. Activated charcoal may induce vomiting, but may be given
after emesis or lavage to absorb toxic additives. Steroid therapy in mild
to moderate cases does not improve outcome. Bacterial pneumonia often
occurs after exposure, but prophylactic antibiotics are not indicated and
should be reserved for documented bacterial pneumonia.
Light hydrocarbons have been associated with cardiac sensitization in
abuse situations. Hypoxia or the injection of adrenaline-like substances
enhanced these effects.
5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
FLAMMABLE PROPERTIES
PMCC Flash Point: 42.2 C (108.0 F)
Autoignition Temperature: N/A
FLAMMABLE LIMITS IN AIR
LEL: N/A
UEL: N/A
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA:
Dry chemical, water spray (fog), carbon dioxide, foam.
FIRE & EXPLOSION HAZARDS:
Combustible Liquid. Vapors will burn releasing toxic vapors, fumes and
smoke, including carbon monoxide and organic vapors. Containers exposed
to intense heat from fires should be cooled with water to prevent vapor
pressure buildup which could result in container rupture or explosion.
FPS Cold Weather Plus LT Page 5
RTN Number: 31214 September 22, 2008
FIRE FIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS:
As in any fire, wear self-contained breathing apparatus pressure-demand
MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent) and full protective gear.
Avoid breathing smoke and vapor.
COMBUSTION PRODUCTS:
Hazardous decomposition products are oxides of carbon and nitrogen
including CO and CO2.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
SAFEGUARDS (PERSONNEL):
Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (See Section 8). Evacuate
non-emergency personnel to a safe area.
If applicable, report spills to the proper environmental agencies as
required by federal, state and local regulations.
INITIAL CONTAINMENT:
Eliminate all sources of ignition - Heat, sparks, flame, electricity, and
impact. Contain spilled material with dikes or absorbents. Marine
Pollutant. Do not allow material to enter soil, surface water, or sewer
system.
LARGE SPILLS PROCEDURE:
Stop the source of the leak, if it is safe to do so. Contain spilled
material. Vacuum or sweep up material and place in a disposal container.
Absorb residue with inert material (e.g. dry sand or earth), then place
in a chemical waste container. Do not flush to sewer. Use
explosion-proof equipment during clean-up.
SMALL SPILLS PROCEDURE:
Absorb spills with inert material. Transfer to a chemical waste container
and dispose of properly. Spills are extremely slippery and should be
cleaned up immediately.
MISCELLANEOUS:
Treat or dispose of in accordance with all federal, state, and local
requirements.

7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
HANDLING (PERSONNEL):
DO NOT PRESSURIZE, CUT, WELD, BRAZE, SOLDER, DRILL, GRIND, OR EXPOSE SUCH
CONTAINERS TO HEAT, FLAME, SPARKS, STATIC ELECTRICITY, OR OTHER SOURCES OF
IGNITION; THEY MAY EXPLODE AND CAUSE INJURY OR DEATH.
Ground and bond containers when transferring material.
Avoid contact with eyes. Avoid prolonged or repeated contact with skin.
Keep away from food and drinking water.
HANDLING (PHYSICAL ASPECTS):
Secure container after each use. Store in a cool dry, secure area. Keep
out of reach of children. Ground containers when transferring material.
Avoid contact with strong oxidizing agents.
Empty drums should be completely drained, properly bunged, and promptly
returned to a drum reconditioner, or properly disposed of.
STORAGE PRECAUTIONS:
Store in a tightly closed container. Store in a cool dry place.
Eliminate all sources of ignition - heat, sparks, flame, electricity,
impact and friction. Contact with hot surfaces may ignite the product.
