Fire:
Flammable Limits in Air % by Volume: lel 1.3, uel 11.0. Combustible Liquid and Vapor.
Flammable when Exposed to Heat or Flame. Contact with Strong Oxidizers may Cause Fire or
Explosion.
Explosion: Above Flash Point, Vapor-Air Mixtures are Explosive Within Flammable Limits noted Above.
Sealed Containers may Rupture when Heated.
Fire Extinguishing Media: Dry Chemical, Foam, Carbon Dioxide, or Water Spray.
Special Information: In the Event of Fire, Wear Full Protective Clothing and NIOSH-Approved Self-Contained
Breathing Apparatus with Full Facepiece Operated in the Pressure Demand or Other Postitive
Pressure Mode. Use Water Spray to Blanket Fire, Cool Fire Exposed Containers, and to Flush
Non-Ignited Spills or Vapors Away From Fire.
General Reactivity: Stable Under Ordinary Conditions of Use and Storage. Discolors on Exposure to Light.
Burning may Produce Carbon Monoxide, Carbon Dioxide, Nitrogen Oxides.
Hazardous Decomposition:
Strong Acids and Strong Oxidizers, Albumin, Solutions of Iron, Zinc, Aluminum, Toluene
Incompatibilities:
Diisocyanate, and Alkalis. Ignites Spontaneously in the Presence of Red Fuming Nitric
Acid.
Hazardous Polymerization:
Will Not Occur.
SECTION V - HEALTH HAZARD INFORMATION
Inhalation: TOXIC. Affects Ability of Blood to Carry Oxygen. Symptoms May Include Bluish Discoloration of
Lips and Tongue, Severe Headache, Nausea, Confusion, Dizziness, Shock, Respiratory
Paralysis, Death.
Ingestion: TOXIC. Lethal Dose may be as Little as one gram. Symptoms of Ingestion Parallel those of
Inhalation Exposure.
Skin: May be Absorbed Through Skin. Symptoms of Skin Absorption Parallel those of Inhalation
Exposure.
Eye Contact Vapor is an Eye Irritant. May Cause Tearing, Blurred Vision. Splashes may Cause Corneal
Damage.
Chronic Exposure: Aniline is a Blood Toxin, Causing Hemoglobin to Convert to Methemoglobin, Resulting in
Cyanosis. Lengthy or Repeated Exposures may Result in Decreased Appetite, Anemia,
Weight Loss, Nervous System Affects, and Kidney, Liver and Bone Marrow Damage. Any
Exposure may Cause an Allergic Skin Reaction.
SECTION V - HEALTH, HAZARD INFORMATION (cont.)
Carcinogenic References: NTP Carcinogen - Known: No, IARC Category- 3
Aggravated by Exposure: Persons with Pre-Existing Skin Disorders or Eye Problems or Impaired Liver or Kidney
Function may be More Susceptible to the Effects of the Substance.
SECTION VI - EMERGENCY & FIRST AID PROCEDURES
Inhalation: If Inhaled, Remove to Fresh Air. If not Breathing, Give Artificial Respiration. If Breathing is
Difficult, Give Oxygen. Do Not Give Mouth to Mouth Resuscitation. Call A PHYSICIAN
IMMEDIATELY.
Ingestion: Induce Vomiting Immediately as Directed by Medical Personnel. Never Give Anything by Mouth
to an Unconscious Person.
Skin: In Case of Contact, Immediately Flush Skin with Plenty of Water for at Least 15 Minutes while
Removing Contaminated Clothing and Shoes. Wash Clothing Before Reuse. Thoroughly
Clean Shoes before Reuse. Get Medical Attention Immediately.
Eyes: Immediately Flush Eyes with Plenty of Water for at Least 15 Minutes, Lifting Upper and Lower
Eyelids Occasionally. Get Medical Attention Immediately.
SECTION VII - INDUSTRIAL HYGIENE MEASURES
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.
Airborne Exposure Limits: OSHA Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL) 5 ppm (TWA) ACGIH Threshold Limit (TLV) 2 ppm
(TWA).
Personal Respirators: If the Exposure Limit is Exceeded, Wear a Supplied Air, Full-Facepiece Respirator, Airlined
(NIOSH APPROVED) Hood, or Full-Facepiece Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus.
Skin Protection: Wear Impervious Protective Clothing, Including Boots, Gloves, Lab Coat, Apron or Coveralls,
as Appropriate, to Prevent Skin Contact. Neoprene and Nitrile Rubber are Recommeded.
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.
SECTION VIII - INDUSTRIAL HYGIENE MEASURES
Accidental Release: Ventilate area or Leak or Spill. Remove all Sources of Ignition. Wear Appropriate Personal
Protective Equipment as Specified in Section 7. 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.
Disposal: 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.
Environmental Fate: When Released to the Soil and Water, this Material may Evaporate to Moderate Extent. When
Released into the Soil, This Material may Leach into Groundwater. When Released into the
Water, This Material is Expected to have a Half Life Between 1 and 10 Days.
SECTION IX - SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS
Handling and Storage: Keep in a Tightly Closed Container, Stored in a Cool, Dry, Ventilated Area. Protect against
Physical Damage and where a Fire Hazard May be Acute. Storage and Use should be No
Smoking Areas. Do Not Pressurize, Cut, Weld, Braze, Solder, Drill, Grind or Expose Containers
to Heat, Sparks, Flame, Static Electricity or Other Sources of Ignition. Containers of
this Material may be Hazardous when Empty since they Retain Product Residues.
