EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
WARNING! FLAMMABLE LIQUID AND VAPOR. HARMFUL IF SWALLOWED, INHALED OR
ABSORBED THROUGH SKIN. AFFECTS CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM. CAUSES IRRITATION
TO SKIN, EYES AND RESPIRATORY TRACT.
Potential Health Effects
Skin Contact:
Skin contact causes irritation, redness, and pain. May be absorbed through the skin;
symptoms of absorption may be similar to those from ingestion exposure.
Eye Contact:
Vapors cause irritation, redness, and blurred vision. Splashes may cause severe
irritation or eye damage.

Inhalation:
Causes irritation to respiratory tract. Effects from overexposure include headache,
dizziness, muscle weakness, drowsiness, incoordination, confusion, and coma. High
concentrations can cause central nervous system damage, pulmonary edema, and
liver damage. Death may occur from respiratory failure.
Ingestion:
Ingestion may cause nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. Large doses may cause central
nervous system damage, pulmonary edema, and liver damage. Death may occur from
respiratory failure.
Chronic Exposure:
Prolonged or repeated skin exposure may cause dermatitis.
Aggravation of Pre-existing Conditions:
Persons with pre-existing skin disorders or eye problems, or impaired liver, kidney or
respiratory function may be more susceptible to the effects of the substance
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SECTION 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Inhalation:
Remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is
difficult, give oxygen. Call a physician.
Ingestion:
Induce vomiting immediately as directed by medical personnel. Never give anything
by mouth to an unconscious person.
Skin Contact:
Remove any contaminated clothing. Wash skin with soap or mild detergent and water
for at least 15 minutes. Wash clothes before reuse. Get medical attention if irritation
develops or persists.
Eye Contact:
Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, lifting lower and
upper eyelids occasionally. Get medical attention immediately.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SECTION 5- FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fire Extinguishing Media:
Dry chemical, foam or carbon dioxide. Do not use a solid stream of water, since the
stream will scatter and spread the fire. 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. Vapors can flow along surfaces to distant ignition source
and flash back.

SECTION 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ventilate area of leak or spill. Remove all sources of ignition. Wear appropriate
personal 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! US Regulations (CERCLA) require reporting spills and
releases to soil, water and air in excess of reportable quantities.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SECTION 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.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SECTION 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS, PERSONAL PROTECTION
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ventilation System:
A system of local and/or general exhaust is recommended to keep employee
exposures below the Airborne Exposure Limits. Local exhaust ventilation is generally
preferred because it can control the emissions of the contaminant at its source,
preventing dispersion of it into the general work area. Please refer to the ACGIH
document, Industrial Ventilation, A Manual of Recommended Practices, most recent
edition, for details.
Personal Respirators (NIOSH Approved):
If the exposure limit is exceeded, a full facepiece respirator with organic vapor
cartridge may be worn up to 50 times the exposure limit or the maximum use
concentration specified by the appropriate regulatory agency or respirator supplier,
whichever is lowest. 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:
Use chemical safety goggles and/or a full face shield where splashing is possible.
Maintain eye wash fountain and quick-drench facilities in work area.
