III.      POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS

EMERGENCY OVERVIEW: Amber liquid with pungent odor. Flammable. Can cause central nervous system depression with narcotic effects

                in high concentrations. Reports have associated overexposure to solvents with permanent brain and nervous system

                damage. Repeated over-exposure to Toluene may cause liver damage. Exposure to Methyl Ethyl Ketone may enhance

                neurotoxicity of n-Hexane and Methyl-n-Butyl Ketone. Synergistic effect has resulted in peripheral neuropathy in humans.

EYES:           May cause severe eye irritation.

SKIN:           Liquid material may be absorbed through skin in harmful amounts. May cause defatting and irritation of the skin.

INHALATION:     May cause irritation of nose or throat. High concentrations may cause acute central nervous system depression

characterized

                by headaches, dizziness, nausea and confusion.

INGESTION:      Can cause gastrointestinal irritation, nausea, and vomiting. Aspiration of material into lung may cause chemical

                           pneumonitis which can be fatal.

EFFECTS OF REPEATED OVEREXPOSURE: Repeated overexposure to toluene may cause liver damage. Exposure to methyl ethyl ketone

                may enhance the nuerotoxicity of n-hexane and methyl-n-butyl ketone. This synergistic effect has resulted in peripheral

                neuropathy in humans. Reports have associated prolonged and repeated occupational overexposure to solvents with

                permanent brain and nervous system damage. Intentional misuse by deliberately concentrating and inhaling the contents

                may be harmful or fatal.

SIGNIFICANT LABORATORY DATA WITH POSSIBLE RELEVANCE TO HUMAN HEALTH: Toluene has been found to cause kidney,

                lung and spleen damage in laboratory animals. Laboratory studies involving rats

                Indicate some evidence that Methyl Ethyl Ketone may be embryotoxic, phetotoxic, and terratogenic.



IV.       FIRST AID

EYES:           Flush with large amounts of water, lifting upper and lower lids occasionally, for at least 15 minutes. Seek medical

                attention.

SKIN:           Immediately wash the affected area with soap and water. Remove contaminated clothing as water is applied. Seek medical

                attention if irritation persists.

INHALATION:     Remove to fresh air immediately. If breathing has stopped, give artificial respiration. Keep warm and quiet. Get

                medical attention immediately.

INGESTION:      If swallowed, do not induce vomiting. Call poison control center, hospital emergency room or physician immediately.

NOTES TO PHYSICIAN: Any treatment that might be required for over exposure should be directed at the control of symptoms and the clinical

                conditions.



V.        FIREFIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS

FLASH POINT (Method Use):  24?F (-4?C) SFCC          NFPA : Flammable Liquid, Class I B Liquid

FLAMMABLE LIMITS:          LEL - 1.7%       UEL - 13.0%

AUTO-IGNITION TEMPERATURE: No Data

EXTINGUISHING MEDIA:       Small Fires: Use NFPA Class B Fire Extinguisher (carbon dioxide, all purpose dry chemical or

                                            alcohol foam) designed to extinguish flammable liquid fires. Large Fires: Polymer foam.

SPECIAL PROCEDURES:        Firefighters should wear SCBA. Water may be ineffective, but may be used to cool exposed containers to

                           prevent pressure build up and possible auto ignition when exposed to extreme heat. If water is used, fog

                           nozzles are preferable.

UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS: During emergency conditions, overexposure to decomposition products may cause a health

                           hazard. Symptoms may not be immediately apparent. Obtain medical attention. DANGER - Extremely

                           flammable. Vapors may cause flash fire.

VI.        ACCIDENT RESPONSE MEASURES

CHEMTREC TELEPHONE: 800-424-9300                         NATIONAL SPILL RESPONSE CENTER: 800-424-8802





SPILL PROCEDURES: Wear respirators, eye, hand and body protection appropriate for the size of the spill and the exposure encountered. Keep

 unauthorized personnel away. Eliminate all ignition sources (flames, hot surfaces, and sources of electrical, static or frictional sparks). Dike and

contain spill with inert material (sand, vermiculite, etc.). Transfer liquids to covered metal containers for recovery or disposal, or remove with

inert absorbent. Use only non-sparking tools. Place absorbent diking materials in covered metal containers for disposal. Prevent contamination

of sewers, streams, and groundwater with spilled material or used absorbent.





VII.       SAFE HANDLING AND STORAGE

Do not store above 115?F (46?C). Store large quantities in compliance with applicable OSHA regulations (29 CFR 1910.106). Prohibit

smoking in these areas. Do not store or use near sources of ignition (open flame, sparks, heat, etc.) or combustible materials. Containers should

be grounded and bonded to the receiving container when dispensing this liquid product. Do not take internally. Close container after each use.

Empty containers must not be washed and reused for any purpose. Never use pressure to empty. Drum is not a pressure vessel. Do not weld,

braze or cut on empty container.





VIII.      ENGINEERING CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION

ENGINEERING CONTROLS: Control airborne concentrations below the exposure limits. Use only with adequate ventilation.

RESPRIARTORY PROTECTION: Proper selection of respiratory protection depends on many factors including duration, level of exposure, and

conditions of use. In general exposure to organic chemicals such as those contained in this product may not require the use of respiratory

protection if used in well ventilated areas. In restricted ventilation areas, a NIOSH approved chemical cartridge respirator may be required.

Under certain conditions, such as spraying, a mechanical pre-filter may be required. In confined areas use a NISOSH MSHA approved air supply

respirator. If the TLV's listed in Section II are exceeded use a properly fitted NIOSH ?MSHA approved respirator with an appropriate protection

factor. Refer to OSHA 29 CFR 1910. 134 "Respiratory Protection" and "Respiratory Protection ?A Manual and Guideline ?ACGIH."

VENTILATION: Provide local exhaust ventilation in sufficient volume and pattern to maintain exposures below nuisance dust levels and

permissible exposure limits shown in Section II. Refer to Industrial Ventilation ?A Manual by ACGIH for additional information.

HAND PROTECTION: Solvent impermeable gloves required for repeated and prolonged contact.

EYE PROTECTION: Wear safety glasses for normal use. Wear safety goggles when the potential for splash hazards exist.

OTHER PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT: Not likely to be needed.
