Page 2 of 8
POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS
INHALATION High vapor or mist concentrations may be harmful if inhaled. High concentrations of vapor or mist may
(BREATHING): irritate the respiratory tract (nose, throat, and lings). High concentrations of vapor or mist may cause
nausea, vomiting, headaches, dizziness, loss of coordination, numbness, irregular heartbeat, drowsiness,
and other central nervous system effects. High concentrations of vapor or mist may cause liver or kidney
damage. Massive acute overexposure may cause rapid central nervous system depression, sudden
collapse, coma, and/or death.
EYES: May cause severe irritation, tearing, redness, swelling, burns, and eye damage.
SKIN: May cause irritation leading to dermatitis or blistering. Butyl cellosolve, hexane, n-butyl alcohol, toluene,
and methyl alcohol may be absorbed through the skin and cause harm as noted under INHALATION
(BREATHING).
INGESTION May be harmful if swallowed. May cause throat irritation, nausea, vomiting, and central nervous system
(SWALLOWING): effects as noted under INHALATION (BREATHING). Breathing product into the lungs during ingestion or
vomiting may cause lung injury and possible death.
MEDICAL CONDITIONS Individuals with pre-existing cardiovascular, liver, kidney, respiratory tract (nose, throat, and lungs), central
AGGRAVATED BY nervous system, eye, and/or skin disorders may have increased susceptibility to the effects of exposure.
EXPOSURE:
CHRONIC: Prolonged or repeated inhalation may cause heart, liver, central nervous system, and kidney damage; and/or
toxic effects as noted under INHALATION (BREATHING). Prolonged or repeated eye contact may cause
inflammation of the membrane lining the eyelids and covering the eyeball (conjunctivitis); burns, and/or
eye damage. Prolonged or repeated skin contact may cause drying, cracking, redness, itching, and/or
swelling (dermatitis); and/or blistering.
CANCER This product contains ethylbenzene CAS 100-41-4 which may cause cancer. Risk of cancer depends on
INFORMATION: duration and level of exposure. For more information, see SECTION 11: CARCINOGENICITY.
Also see SECTION 15: CALIFORNIA.
POTENTIAL ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS
Not available. Also see SECTION 12: ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION.
Section 4. FIRST AID MEASURES
INHALATION: Remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Oxygen
(BREATHING) should only be administered by qualified personnel. Someone should stay with victim. Get medical attention
if breathing difficulty persists.
EYES: If irritation or redness from exposure to vapor develops, move away from exposure into fresh air. Upon
contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of lukewarm water, holding eyelids apart, for 15 minutes. Get
medical attention.
SKIN: Remove affected clothing and shoes. Wash skin thoroughly with soap and water. Get medical attention if
irritation or pain develops or persists.
INGESTION: Do NOT induce vomiting. Immediately get medical attention. Call 1-800-752-7869 for additional information.
(SWALLOWING) If spontaneous vomiting occurs, keep head below hips to avoid breathing the product into the lungs. Never
give anything to an unconscious person by mouth.
NOTE TO Treat symptomatically and supportively. Increased sensitivity of the heart to Adrenaline (epinephrine) may be
PHYSICIANS: caused by overexposure to product. Administration of gastric lavage, if warranted, should be performed by
qualified medical personnel. Treatment may vary with condition of victim and specifics of incident. Call
1-800-752-7869 for additional information.

AUTOIGNITION TEMPERATURE:
Not available.
HAZARDOUS COMBUSTION PRODUCTS:
Decomposition and combustion materials may be toxic. Burning may produce phosgene, chlorides, chloroacetylenes,
formaldehyde, peracetic acid, carbon monoxide, and unidentified organic compounds.
CONDITIONS OF FLAMMABILITY:
Heat, sparks, or flame.
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA:
Carbon dioxide, alcohol-resistant foam, dry chemical, or water spray.
FIRE FIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS:
Keep storage containers cool with water spray. A positive-pressure, self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) and
full-body protective equipment are required for fire emergencies.
FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS:
Vapor explosion hazard indoors, outdoors, or in sewers. Vapors may travel to ignition source and flashback. Vapors will
spread along the ground and collect in low or confined areas. Run-off to sewer may create a fire or explosion hazard.
Heated containers may rupture, explode, or be thrown into the air. "Empty" containers may retain residue and can be
dangerous. Product is not sensitive to mechanical impact. Product may be sensitive to static discharge, which could
result in fire or explosion.
Section 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Remove all ignition sources. Do not touch or walk through spilled product. Stop leak if you can do it without risk. Wear protective
equipment and provide engineering controls as specified in SECTION 8: EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION. Isolate
hazard area. Keep unnecessary and unprotected personnel from entering. Ventilate area and avoid breathing vapor or mist. A
vapor suppressing foam may be used to reduce vapors. Contain spill away from surface waters and sewers. Contain spill as a liquid
for possible recovery, or sorb with compatible sorbent material and shovel with a clean, sparkproof tool into a sealable container for
disposal.
Additionally, for large spills: Water spray may reduce vapor, but may not prevent ignition in closed spaces. Dike far ahead of liquid
spill for collection and later disposal.
There may be specific federal regulatory reporting requirements associated with spills, leaks, or releases of this product. Also see
SECTION 15: REGULATORY INFORMATION.
Section 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
HANDLING:
Keep away from heat, sparks, or flame. Where flammable mixtures may be present, equipment safe for such locations
should be used. Use clean, sparkproof tools and explosion-proof equipment. When transferring product, storage tanks,
tanker trucks, and rail tank cars should be grounded and bonded. Do not breathe vapor or mist. Use in a well ventilated
area. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, clothing, and shoes. Do not smoke while using this product.
SHIPPING AND
STORING:
Keep container tightly closed when not in use and during transport. Store containers in a cool place. Do not pressurize,
cut, weld, braze, solder, drill, or grind containers. Keep containers away from heat, flame, sparks, static electricity, or
other sources of ignition; containers may explode and cause injury or death. Empty product containers may retain
product residue and can be dangerous. See SECTION 14: TRANSPORT INFORMATION for Packing Group information.
Section 8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
ENGINEERING Provide general ventilation needed to maintain concentration of vapor or mist below applicable exposure
CONTROLS: limits. Where adequate general ventilation is unavailable, use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation,
or other engineering controls to control airborne levels below applicable exposure limits. Where explosive
mixtures may be present, equipment safe for such locations should be used.
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
RESPIRATORY Use NIOSH-certified, air-supplied respirators (self-contained breathing apparatus or air-line where
PROTECTION: concentrations of methanol or may exceed applicable exposure limits. Use NIOSH-certified, full-face
respirators with organic vapor cartridges respiratory protective equipment when concentration of vapor or
mist of any of the other components exceeds applicable exposure limits. Selection and use of respiratory
Page 4 of 8
protective equipment should be in accordance in the USA with OSHA General Industry Standard 29 CFR
1910.134; or in Canada with CSA Standard Z94.4. Consult a qualified Industrial Hygienist or Safety
Professional for respirator selection guidance.

Shield/4H?, or equivalent protective gloves is recommended. Use of natural rubber (latex), polyvinyl
chloride (PVC), neoprene, or equivalent gloves is not recommended.
To avoid prolonged or repeated contact with product where spills and splashes are likely, wear appropriate
chemical-resistant faceshield, boots, apron, whole body suits, or other protective clothing.
PERSONAL HYGIENE: Wash thoroughly with soap and water after handling product and before eating, drinking, or using tobacco
products. Clean affected clothing, shoes, and protective equipment before reuse. Discard affected clothing,
shoes, and/or protective equipment if they cannot be thoroughly cleaned. Discard leather articles, such as
