2. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
PHYSICAL APPEARANCE AND ODOR: Clear pale blue liquid with mild aromatic odor.
IMMEDIATE CONCERNS: Combustible. Material can release vapors that readily form flammable mixtures. vapor
accumulation could flash and/or explode if ignited. Material can accumulate static charges which may cause an incendiary
electrical discharge. Keep away from heat and sources of ignition. Avoid eye and skin contact. Avoid breathing vapors. May
cause eye and skin irritation. Use in well ventilated areas.
POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS
EYES: May cause irritation, tearing, reddening, and swelling.
SKIN: May cause irritation and possible allergic sensitivity. Skin inflammation is characterized by itching, scaling, or reddening.
INGESTION: May be harmful if swallowed.
INHALATION: Breathing large amounts may be harmful. Symptoms are more typically seen at air concentrations exceeding the
recommended exposure limits. Symptoms of exposure may include: initial Central Nervous System excitation (euphoria,
exhilaration, light-headedness) followed by CNS depression (dizziness, drowsiness, weakness, fatigue, nausea, headache,
unconsciousness) and other CNS effects: confusion, impaired coordination, coma, and death.
ROUTES OF ENTRY: Eye and skin contact, inhalation of vapors, or accidental ingestion.

4. FIRST AID MEASURES
Page 2 of 6
SC-105 FLUSH SOLVENT
EYES: Immediately rinse with water. Remove contact lenses. Hold eyelids apart and flush eyes with water for at least 15 minutes.
Get immediate medical attention.
SKIN: Immediately wash skin with soap and plenty of water. Remove contaminated clothing. Get medical attention if symptoms
occur. Wash clothing before reuse.
INGESTION: If swallowed, call a physician immediately. Do NOT induce vomiting. Provided the patient is conscious, wash out
mouth with water. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
INHALATION: Remove patient from exposure, keep warm and at rest. Obtain immediate medical attention. Treatment is
symptomatic for primary irritation or bronchospasm. If breathing is labored, oxygen should be administered by qualified
personnel. Apply artificial respiration if breathing has ceased or shows signs of failing.
NOTES TO PHYSICIAN: Symptomatic and supportive therapy as needed. Following severe exposure medical follow-up should be
monitored for at least 48 hours.
5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
FLASHPOINT AND METHOD: 68.3癈 (155癋) Pensky-Martens CC
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Dry chemical, foam, or carbon dioxide.
EXPLOSION HAZARDS: Combustible liquid: Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame. Vapors are heavier than air and may
travel along the ground or be moved by ventilation and ignited by heat, pilot lights, other flames and ignition sources at locations
distant from material handling point.
FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES: Cool fire exposed containers with water spray. Remove containers from the fire area if
possible. Do not release runoff from fire control methods to sewers or waterways.
FIRE FIGHTING EQUIPMENT: Firefighters should wear positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) and
consider use of unmanned hose holders or monitor nozzles for fighting large fires.
SENSITIVE TO STATIC DISCHARGE: This material can accumulate static charges which can cause an incendiary electrical
discharge.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
SMALL SPILL: Evacuate the area. Clean-up should only be performed by trained personnel. People dealing with a major spill
should wear full protective clothing including appropriate respiratory protection. Prevent product spill from entering sewers or
waterways. Neutralize small spills with a decontaminant.
LARGE SPILL: Contain and absorb large spills onto an inert, non-flammable adsorbent carrier (earth or sand). Do not use
combustible materials such as saw dust. Use only spark resistant and explosion proof recovery devices. Shovel into open-top
drums or plastic bags for further decontamination, if necessary. Wash the spill area clean with a liquid decontaminant. Remove and
properly dispose of residues. Notify applicable government authorities if release is reportable. (See CERCLA in Section 15).
RELEASE NOTES: US regulations require reporting spills of this material that could reach any surface waters. The toll free
number for the US Coast Guard National Response Center is (800) 424-8802.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
GENERAL PROCEDURES: Combustible liquid. Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing. Use only with adequate ventilation.
Avoid breathing vapor over open containers. Avoid open container exposure to damp air. Avoid breathing aerosols, mists, and
vapors.
HANDLING: Use appropriate personal protective equipment as specified in Section 8. Handle in a well ventilated area. Handle and
use in a manner consistent with good industrial/manufacturing techniques and practices.
STORAGE: Keep away from heat, sparks, open flames, or other sources of ignition. Store in a cool, dry place, away from excessive
heat, in original or similar container. Avoid unnecessary contact. Protect from freezing. Containers should be tightly sealed to
prevent contamination with foreign materials.
SHELF LIFE: 12 months from date of shipment under manufacturers recommended storage conditions.

OSHA TABLE COMMENTS:
1. NIOSH REL
ENGINEERING CONTROLS: Use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to control airborne
levels below recommended exposure limits.
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
EYES AND FACE: Safety goggles or glasses are recommended. Plastic face shields should be used for complete face protection
to protect against possible splashing or spraying of material. ANSI Z87.1 or approved equivalent.
SKIN: Chemical-resistant gloves and chemical goggles, face-shield, and synthetic apron or coveralls should be used to prevent
contact with eyes, skin, or clothing. Wear nitrile or neoprene gloves. Chemical resistant gloves lined with polyethylene offer
maximum protection.
RESPIRATORY: Exhaust ventilation recommended. An organic vapor cartridge or fresh air supplied respirator (NIOSH
approved) may be necessary for certain applications. Consider the type of application, environmental concentrations, and other
materials being used concurrently when determining respirator use and selection. Observe OSHA regulations for respirator use
(29 CFR 1910.134).
PROTECTIVE CLOTHING: Protective clothing should be selected and used in accordance with 'Guidelines for the Selection
of Chemical Protective Clothing' published by ACGIH.
WORK HYGIENIC PRACTICES: Contaminated clothing should be changed and washed before reuse. Eating, drinking and
smoking in immediate work area should be prohibited. Wash hands before eating.
OTHER USE PRECAUTIONS: Facilities storing or utilizing this material should be equipped with an eyewash facility and a
safety shower. Training is important. Follow all label precautions.
