FIRE EXTINGUISHING MEDIA
Ansul "Purple K" potassium bicarbonate dry chemical, any appropriately sized ABC dry chemical, carbon dioxide, or foam extinguisher can be used. Use of a water fog
by trained personnel.
SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES
Evacuate enclosed areas. Stay upwind. Close quarters or confined spaces require self-contained breathing apparatus, positive pressure masks or airline masks.
Use water spray to cool containers, to flush spills from source of ignition and to disperse vapors. Use of water fog by trained personnel can avoid distribution of
burning debris or contaminated water over a wider area or into sewers and storm drains.
UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS
Fire hazard because of low flash point and high volatility. Vapors are heavier than air and may travel to source(s) of ignition at or near ground or lower level(s) and flash
back.

SECTION V - HEALTH HAZARD DATA
PRIMARY ROUTES
OF ENTRY: X Inhalation X Skin Contact Eye Contact Ingestion
EFFECT OF OVEREXPOSURE
ACUTE:
Inhalation: Concentrations of 100-300 ppm cause nose and throat irritation. Higher concentrations cause irritation, headache, nausea,
drowsiness, dizziness, incoordination.
Skin Contact: Prolonged exposure to liquid or vapors at concentrations greater than the TLV causes moderate irritation and dermatitis.
Eye Contact: Liquid and vapors are irritating to eyes. Can cause severe injury - damage reversible.
Ingestion: Moderately toxic. May cause nausea, vomiting and diarrhea.
CHRONIC: There is no evidence that exposure to Methyl Ethyl Ketone (MEK) alone causes progressive or irreversible neurotoxic effects.
However, simultaneous over-exposure to MEK and n-Hexane can potentiate the known irreversible neurotoxic effects of n-Hexane.
There is no reported human evidence that these neurotoxic effects occur when exposure to both chemicals is maintained below
established OSHA and ACGIH limits.

MEDICAL CONDITIONS AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE: This material may aggravate an existing dermatitis. Breathing of vapor and/or mist may
aggravate asthma and inflammatory or fibrotic pulmonary diseases.
EMERGENCY AND FIRST AID PROCEDURES
Inhalation: If overcome by vapors, remove to fresh air and if breathing stopped, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen.
Call physician.
Eye Contact: Flush eyes with plenty of water for 15 minutes and call a physician.
Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash skin with plenty of soap and water for at least 15 minutes. If irritation develops,
get medical attention.
Ingestion: Give 1 or 2 glasses of water or milk. Do not induce vomiting. Call physician or poison center immediately.
SECTION VI - REACTIVITY
STABILITY UNSTABLE CONDITIONS TO AVOID
STABLE X Keep away from heat, sparks, open flame and other sources of ignition.
INCOMPATIBILITY
(MATERIALS TO AVOID) Caustics, ammonia, inorganic acids, chlorinated compounds, strong oxidizers and isocyanates.
HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS
On combustion: Dense smoke containing carbon monoxide, carbon dioxIde and hydrogen cyanide.
HAZARDOUS MAY OCCUR CONDITIONS TO AVOID
POLYMERIZATION WILL NOT OCCUR X Keep away from heat, sparks, open flame and other sources of ignition.
SECTION VII - SPILL OR LEAK PROCEDURES
STEPS TO BE TAKEN IN CASE MATERIAL IS RELEASED OR SPILLED
Eliminate all ignition sources. Avoid breathing of vapors. Keep liquid out of eyes. Flush with large amount of water. Contain liquid with sand or earth.
Absorb with sand or nonflammable absorbent material and transfer into steel drums for recovery or disposal. Prevent liquid from entering drains.
WASTE DISPOSAL METHOD
Follow local, State and Federal regulations. Consult disposal expert. Can be disposed of by incineration. Excessive quantities should not be permitted to
enter drains. Empty containers should be air dried before disposing.
SECTION VIII - SPECIAL PROTECTION INFORMATION
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION (Specify type)
Atmospheric levels should be maintained below established exposure limits contained in Section II. If airborne concentrations exceed those limits, use of
a NIOSH approved organic vapor cartridge respirator with full face-piece is recommended. The effectiveness of an air purifying respirator is limited. Use it
only for a single short-term exposure. For emergency and other conditions where short-term exposure guidelines may be exceeded, use an approved
positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus.
VENTILATION
Use only with adequate ventilation. Provide sufficient ventilation in volume and pattern to keep contaminants below applicable exposure limits set forth in
Section II. Use only explosion proof ventilation equipment.
PROTECTIVE GLOVES PVA coated rubber gloves for frequent dipping/immersion. Use of latex/nitrile EYE PROTECTION Splashproof chemical goggles,
surgical gloves or solvent resistant barrier creme should provide adequate protection when normal solvent- face shield, safety glasses with brow guards and side
cement welding practices and procedures are used for solvent welding of plastic sheet/pipe joints. shields, etc. as appropriate for exposure.
OTHER PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT AND HYGIENIC PRACTICES
Impervious apron and a source of running water to flush or wash the eyes and skin in case of contact.
SECTION IX - SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS
PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN IN HANDLING AND STORING
Store in the shade between 40?- 110?(5?- 43?Keep away from heat, sparks, open flame and other sources of ignition. Avoid prolonged breathing

of vapor. Use with adequate ventilation. Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing. Train employees on all special handling procedures before they work
with this product.
OTHER PRECAUTIONS
Follow all precautionary information given on container label, product bulletins and our solvent cementing literature. All handling equipment should be
electrically grounded.
