Potential Health Effects
----------------------------------
Inhalation:
Inhalation causes irritation to respiratory tract. Symptoms may include coughing,
shortness of breath, burning sensation in chest, headache, nausea, weakness, restlessness
and incoordination, drowsiness and coma.
Ingestion:
Causes irritation to the gastrointestinal tract. Symptoms may include nausea, vomiting
and diarrhea. A potential aspiration hazard if swallowed. May cause damage to the lungs.
Symptoms may parallel inhalation exposure.
Skin Contact:
Causes irritation to skin. Symptoms include redness, itching, and pain. May cause
dermatitis.

4. First Aid Measures
Inhalation:
Remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult,
give oxygen. Get medical attention.
Ingestion:
Aspiration hazard. If swallowed, vomiting may occur spontaneously, but DO NOT
INDUCE. If vomiting occurs, keep head below hips to prevent aspiration into lungs.
Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Call a physician immediately.
Skin Contact:
Immediately flush skin with plenty of soap and water for at least 15 minutes. Remove
contaminated clothing and shoes. Get medical attention. Wash clothing before reuse.
Thoroughly clean shoes before reuse.
Eye Contact:
Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, lifting lower and
upper eyelids occasionally. Get medical attention immediately.
5. Fire Fighting Measures
Fire:
Flash point: 38C (100F) CC
Autoignition temperature: 210C (410F)
Flammable limits in air % by volume:
lel: 0.7; uel: 5.0
Flammable Liquid and Vapor! Contact with strong oxidizers may cause fire.
Explosion:
Sealed containers may rupture when heated. Above the flash point, explosive vapor-air
mixtures may be formed. Vapors can flow along surfaces to distant ignition source and
flash back.
Fire Extinguishing Media:
Dry chemical, foam or carbon dioxide. Water spray may be used to keep fire exposed
containers cool.
Special Information:
In the event of a fire, wear full protective clothing and NIOSH-approved self-contained
breathing apparatus with full facepiece operated in the pressure demand or other positive
pressure mode.
6. Accidental Release Measures
Ventilate area of leak or spill. Remove all sources of ignition. Wear appropriate personal

msdert.04, .08 93905-00,-05,-08,-85,-86,-87
protective equipment as specified in Section 8. Isolate hazard area. Keep unnecessary and
unprotected personnel from entering. Contain and recover liquid when possible. Use non-
sparking tools and equipment. Collect liquid in an appropriate container or absorb with an
inert material (e. g., vermiculite, dry sand, earth), and place in a chemical waste
container. Do not use combustible materials, such as saw dust. Do not flush to sewer! If a
leak or spill has not ignited, use water spray to disperse the vapors, to protect personnel
attempting to stop leak, and to flush spills away from exposures.
J. T. Baker SOLUSORB(tm) solvent adsorbent is recommended for spills of this product.
7. Handling and Storage
Protect against physical damage. Store in a cool, dry well-ventilated location, away from
any area where the fire hazard may be acute. Outside or detached storage is preferred.
Separate from incompatibles. Containers should be bonded and grounded for transfers to
avoid static sparks. Storage and use areas should be No Smoking areas. Use non-sparking
type tools and equipment, including explosion proof ventilation. Containers of this
material may be hazardous when empty since they retain product residues (vapors,
liquid); observe all warnings and precautions listed for the product. Do Not attempt to
clean empty containers since residue is difficult to remove. Do not pressurize, cut, weld,
braze, solder, drill, grind or expose such containers to heat, sparks, flame, static
electricity or other sources of ignition: they may explode and cause injury or death.
8. Exposure Controls/Personal Protection
Airborne Exposure Limits:
None established.
Ventilation System:
In general, dilution ventilation is a satisfactory health hazard control for this substance.
However, if conditions of use create discomfort to the worker, a local exhaust system
should be considered.
Personal Respirators (NIOSH Approved):
For conditions of use where exposure to the substance is apparent, consult an industrial
hygienist. For emergencies, or instances where the exposure levels are not known, use a
full- facepiece positive-pressure, air-supplied respirator. WARNING: Air purifying
respirators do not protect workers in oxygen-deficient atmospheres.
Skin Protection:
Wear impervious protective clothing, including boots, gloves, lab coat, apron or
coveralls, as appropriate, to prevent skin contact.
Eye Protection:
