Emergency Overview
APPEARANCE AND ODOR: Pale amber liquid. Solvent odor.
DANGER! Extremely flammable liquid and vapor. Vapor may cause flash fire. Use water spray to cool materials in or near a
fire. Fire may be difficult to extinguish. Vapors may travel, and can be ignited by a remote source.
Inhalation of vapors may cause upper respiratory irritation or central nervous system depression - remove affected individuals
to fresh air.
Potential Health Effects
Summary
Vapors from this product may cause eye and upper respiratory irritation, dry throat and mouth, nausea, headache, dizziness,
drowsiness, and coma in extreme cases. Prolonged exposures may lead to liver and kidney injury.
Inhalation
Breathing of vapor or mist is possible and may cause harmful effects. Symptoms usually occur at air concentrations higher
than the recommended exposure limits.
Skin
Can cause skin irritation. Prolonged or repeated contact may dry the skin. Symptoms may include redness, burning, drying,
cracking, burns, and other skin damage.
Absorption
Passage of this material into the body through the skin is possible. Ensure proper PPE is worn to prevent dermal absorption.
Ingestion
Swallowing this material may be harmful. This material can get into the lungs during swallowing or vomiting. This results in
lung inflammation and other lung injury.

Section 4 - First Aid Measures
First Aid: Inhalation
Remove individual to fresh air and administer artificial respiration or oxygen as necessary. Contact a medical professional.
First Aid: Skin
Wash exposed skin with soap and water. If irritation develops or persists, get medical attention. Launder clothing before
reuse.

Section 5 - Fire Fighting Measures
Flash Point: <0篎/-17.7癈 Method Used: SETA

General Fire Hazards
WARNING: Extremely Flammable liquid.
Keep away from heat, sparks, and flame. Material is highly volatile and readily gives off vapors which are heavier than air and
may travel along the ground or be moved by ventilation and ignited by pilot lights, other flames, sparks heaters, smoking,
electric motors, static discharge, or other ignition sources at locations distant from material handling point. Never use welding
or cutting torch on or near drum (even empty) because product (even just residue) can ignite explosively. Vapor may form
flammable atmosphere in confined spaces or low areas. Pressure buildup may also occur in closed, heated containers. Water
spray or fog can be used to keep containers cool.
Hazardous Combustion Products
Carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, halogenated hydrocarbons, nitrogen oxides, and various hydrocarbons.
Extinguishing Media
Foam, water fog, carbon dioxide, dry chemical
Fire Fighting Equipment/Instructions
Use NIOSH-approved self-contained breathing apparatus operating in the pressure demand mode and full fire fighting
protective clothing. Avoid inhalation of vapors.
Section 6 - Accidental Release Measures
Containment Procedures
Remove all sources of ignition. Evacuate and ventilate spill area. Dam spill area with sand, earth, or other suitable absorbent.
Prevent entry of material into sewers, other water sources, or land areas. Wear full protective clothing and respiratory
protection during clean-up as required to maintain exposures below the applicable exposure limit. Shovel absorbed material
into containers in well-ventilated area.

PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
Personal Protective Equipment: Eyes/Face
Chemical splash goggles are required
Personal Protective Equipment: Skin
Impervious gloves such as nitrile rubber should be used to help prevent excessive skin contact.
Personal Protective Equipment: Respiratory
A NIOSH approved respirator must be used if vapor concentrations exceed exposure limits.
Ventilation
Local exhaust or general dilution ventilation may be required to maintain exposures below the applicable exposure limits. The
need for ventilation systems should be evaluated by a professional industrial hygienist, while the design of specific ventilation
systems should be conducted by a professional engineer. Ensure ventilation equipment does not create an ignition source.
Personal Protective Equipment: General
Wear appropriate protective clothing to minimize contact with skin.

Ethylbenzene has been shown to cause cancer in laboratory animals. The relevance of this finding to humans is uncertain.
The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has classified ethylbenzene as a possible human carcinogen. In
testing of C-6 isomers for carcinogenicity by inhalation, there was a treatment-related increase in liver tumors (adenomas and
carinomas) in female mice at the highest dose only (9,000 ppm). There was no increase in tumor incidence in male mice or in
rats of either sex at any dose level.

ACGIH: A3 - Confirmed animal carcinogen with unknown relevance to humans
IARC: Group 2B ?Possibly Carcinogenic to Humans (IARC Monograph 77 [2000])
Chronic Toxicity
Prolonged intentional toluene abuse may lead to hearing loss progressing to deafness. It has been suggested that workers
exposed to organic solvents, including toluene, along with noise may suffer greater hearing loss than would be expected from
exposure to noise alone. Overexposure to this material (or its components) has been suggested as a cause of the following
effects in laboratory animals: mild, reversible liver and kidney effects, cardiac sensitization, damage to the central nervous
system, respiratory tract, eye and kidney, and effects on hearing. Overexposure to this material or its components has been
suggested as a cause of the following effects in humans: cardiac sensitization, kidney damage.
Neurotoxicity
No information available for this product. Toluene is a central nervous system depressant which produces lightheadedness,
nausea, headache, and ataxia at low doses and confusion behavioral and intelligence effects, coma, and death at high doses.
Hexane can damage the peripheral nervous system and produce paralysis, numbness, or tingling in the extremities.
Mutagenicity
No information available for this product. Sister chromatid exchanges and chromosome aberrations were elevated in
lymphocytes from laboratory workers exposed to toluene and other solvents.
Teratogenicity
No information available for the product. During pregnancy, chronic inhalation of toluene above recommended exposure limits
may cause effects similar to fetal alcohol syndrome, including birth defects, stunted fetal growth, and an increased incidence of
premature and still births. N-hexane caused degeneration of the testes in experimental rats.
