4. FIRST AID MEASURES
Eyes
If symptoms develop, immediately move individual away from exposure and into fresh
air. Flush eyes gently with water for at least 15 minutes while holding eyelids
apart; seek immediate medical attention.
Skin
Remove contaminated clothing. Flush exposed area with large amounts of water. If skin
is damaged, seek immediate medical attention. If skin is not damaged and symptoms
persist, seek medical attention_ Launder clothing before reuse.
Swallowing
Seek medical attention. If individual is drowsy or unconscious, do not give anything
by mouth; place individual on the left side with the head down. Contact a physician,
medical facility, or poison control center for advice about whether to induce
vomiting. If possible, do not leave individual unattended.
Inhalation
If symptoms develop, move individual away from exposure and into fresh air. If
symptoms persist, seek medical attention. If breathing is difficult, administer
oxygen. Keep person warm and quiet; seek immediate medical attention.
Note to Physicians
Inhalation of high concentrations of this material, as could occur in enclosed spaces
or during deliberate abuse, may be associated with cardiac arrhythmias.
Sympathomimetic drugs may initiate cardiac arrhythmias in persons exposed to this
material. This material is an aspiration hazard. Potential danger from aspiration
must be weighed against possible oral toxicity (See Section 3 - Swallowing) when
deciding whether to induce vomiting. Preexisting disorders of the following organs
(or organ systems) may be aggravated by exposure to this material: skin, lung (for
5900 2
example, asthma-like conditions), liver, kidney, central nervous system, male
reproductive system, auditory system, Individuals with preexisting heart disorders
may be more susceptible to arrhythmias (irregular heartbeats) if exposed to high
concentrations of this material. Administration of high doses of isopropanol in
combination with known hepatotoxic chemicals resulted in enhanced liver toxicity in
experimental animals.

Fire and Explosion Hazards
Material is volatile and readily gives off vapors which may travel along the ground
or be moved by ventilation and ignited by pilot lights, flames, sparks, heaters,
smoking, electric motors, static discharge or other ignition sources at locations
near the material handling point. Never use welding or cutting torch on or near drum
(even empty) because product (even just residue) can ignite explosively.
Extinguishing Media
regular foam (such as AFFF), water fog, carbon dioxide, dry chemical.
Fire Fighting Instructions
Wear full firefighting turn-out gear (full Bunker gear), and respiratory protection
(SCBA).
NFPA Rating
Health - 2, Flammability - 3, Reactivity ?0
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Small Spill
Eliminate all sources of ignition such as flares, flames (including pilot lights),
and electrical sparks. Absorb liquid on vermiculite, floor absorbent or other
absorbent material. Persons not wearing proper personal protective equipment should
be excluded from area of spill.
Large Spill
Prevent run-off to sewers, streams or other bodies of water. If run-off occurs,
notify proper authorities as required, that a spill has occurred. Persons not wearing
protective equipment should be excluded from area of spill until clean-up has been
completed. Eliminate all ignition sources (flares, flames including pilot lights,
electrical sparks).
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Handling
Containers of this material may be hazardous when emptied. Since emptied containers
retain product residues (vapor, liquid, and/or solid), all hazard precautions given
in the data sheet must be observed. Static ignition hazard can result from handling
and use. Electrically bond and ground all containers, personnel and equipment before
transfer or use of material. Special precautions may be necessary to dissipate static
electricity for non-conductive containers. Use proper bonding and grounding during
product transfer as described in National Fire Protection Association document NFPA
77. Precautions during use: avoid prolonged or frequently repeated skin contact with
this material. Skin contact can be minimized by wearing impervious protective gloves.
As with all products of this nature, good personal hygiene is essential. Hands and
other exposed areas should be washed thoroughly with soap and water after contact,
5900 3
especially before eating and/or smoking. Regular laundering of contaminated clothing
is essential to reduce indirect skin contact with this material. Hydrocarbon solvents
are basically non-conductors of electricity and can become electrostatically charged
during mixing, filtering or pumping at high flow rates. If this charge reaches a
sufficiently high level, sparks can form that may ignite the vapors of flammable
liquids. Warning. Sudden release of hot organic chemical vapors or mists from process
equipment operating at elevated temperature and pressure, or sudden ingress of air
into vacuum equipment, may result in ignitions without the presence of obvious
ignition sources. Published "autoignition" or "ignition" temperature values cannot be
treated as safe operating temperatures in chemical processes without analysis of the
actual process conditions. Any use of this product in elevated temperature processes
should be thoroughly evaluated to establish and maintain safe operating conditions._
Storage
Do not store near extreme heat, open flame, or sources of ignition.
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
Eye Protection
Chemical splash goggles in compliance with OSHA regulations are advised; however,
OSHA regulations also permit other type safety glasses. Consult your safety
representative.
Skin Protection
Wear resistant gloves (consult your safety equipment supplier). To prevent repeated
or prolonged skin contact, wear impervious clothing and boots.
Respiratory Protections
If workplace exposure limit(s) of product or any component is exceeded (see exposure
guidelines), a NIOSH/MSHA approved air supplied respirator is advised in absence of
proper environmental control. OSHA regulations also permit other NIOSH/MSHA
respirators (negative pressure type) under specified conditions (see your industrial
hygienist). Engineering or administrative controls should be implemented to reduce
exposure.
Engineering Controls
Provide sufficient mechanical (general and/or local exhaust) ventilation to maintain
exposure below TLV(s).
