convulsions and loss of consciousness. Narcosis in high solvent vapor concentrations. skin-irritation;
eyes-irritation; ingestion-severe irritation of the mouth, throat and stomach, pulmonary edema
for cobalt: inhalation-irritation of the respiratory tract, mild depression, dizziness and headaches;
skin-irritation; eyes-irritation; ingestion-severe irritation of the mouth, throat and stomach, pulmonary edema
EMERGENCY FIRST AID PROCEDURES:
Eyes: Immediately flush with large quantities of water for at least 15 minutes
and call a physician.
Skin Contact: Remove excess with cloth or paper. Wash thoroughly with soap and
water. Discard contaminated clothing immediately. Call a physician of necessary.
Inhalation: Remove victim to fresh air. Give artificial respiration if not breathing. Call a physician.
If Swallowed: Call a physician immediately. May be harmful if swallowed. DO NOT induce vomiting.

Respiratory system, central nervous system, skin and eyes
MEDICAL CONDITIONS AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE:
Preexisting eye, skin and respiratory disorders.
Section 5. SPECIAL PROTECTION INFORMATION
VENTILATION TYPE REQUIRED (Local, mechanical, special):
Should be used with adequate ventilation. Use local exhaust to avoid breathing vapor or mist. Local if necessary

to maintain allowable PEL (permissible exposure limit) or TLV (threshold limit value)
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION (Specify type):
Use NIOSH/MSHA certified respirator with dual organic vapor/mist and particulates cartridge if vapor
concentration exceeds permissible exposure limit.
PROTECTIVE GLOVES:
neoprene type
EYE PROTECTION:
chemical safety goggles with side shields or full face shield
OTHER PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT:
Eyewash fountain and shower are recommended in work area. Impermeable clothing.
Section 6. HANDLING OF SPILLS OR LEAKS
PROCEDURES FOR CLEAN-UP:
Avoid all ignition sources such as flames and sparks. Insure good ventilation. Prevent from entering sewers and
waterways. If volume is significant, transfer into containers for disposal. Seal containers tightly. Absorb on an
inert ingredient such as earth, sand or vermiculite. Sweep up and dispose of according to Federal, State and
local regulations. Do not contaminate any water supply. In the event of an uncontrolled release of this material,
the user should determine if the release is reportable.
WASTE DISPOSAL:
Dispose of in accordance with all applicable federal, state and local regulations.
Section 7. SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS
PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN IN HANDLING AND STORAGE:
Store in a cool, dry place.
Keep container tightly closed.
Keep away from heat.
Avoid all ignition sources such as flames and sparks.
Do not handle or store at temperatures over 38 deg. C (100 deg. F).
Pressure build-p will occur in closed containers at elevated temperatures.
Do NOT store in confined areas such as trailers.
CAUTION: Combustible liquid!
