SECTION 3 HEALTH INFORMATION & PROTECTION
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW:
Amber, hazy, viscous liquid with chlorinated solvent odor.
May be corrosive to eyes, skin, and respiratory tract.
POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS:
EYE CONTACT:
May cause irritation or burns to eyes on prolonged contact. High vapor concentrations may be irritating.
SKIN CONTACT:
Frequent or prolonged contact may irritate or dry the skin, cause dermatitis, or cause burns. Skin contact may aggravate
an existing dermatitis condition.
INHALATION:
High vapor concentrations are irritating or may cause burns to the respiratory tract, may cause headaches, dizziness,
anesthesia, drowsiness, unconsciousness, and other central nervous system effects. Expossure to excessive levels of
methylene chloride may impair the blood's ability to transport oxygen (carboxyhemoglobinemia) and may also cause
irregular hearbeats (cardiac arrhythmia).
INGESTION:
Small amounts of this liquid may be drawn into the lungs by either swallowing or vomiting. This may cause severe and
delayed health effects such as inflammation of the lungs, infection of the bronchi, chemical pneumonia, and pulmonary
edema. Ingestion may cause irritation or burns to the digestive tract.

MSDS No.: 5030-402S
CHRONIC:
Methylene chloride has produced lung and liver tumors in mice and mammary tumors in female rats in a two year
inhalation study. NTP lists methylene chloride as a potential carcinogen. IARC lists methylene chloride in Group 2B
(sufficient evidence in animals, insufficient evidence in humans). Industrial experience shows no increased incidences of
any cancer type in the worker population.
SYNERGISTIC MATERIALS:
Exposure to a combination of carbon monoxide and methylene chloride must be limited. Where the carbon monoxide
concentraton equals its exposure limit, there should be no exposure to methylene chloride.
FIRST AID MEASURES:
EYE CONTACT:
Flush eyes with large amounts of water. See physician immediately.
SKIN CONTACT:
Flush skin with large amounts of water. Remove contaminated clothing and launder before reuse. If skin irritation
develops or persists, consult physician.
INHALATION:
Remove person to fresh air. Administer oxygen or artificial respiration as needed. Call a physician immediately.
INGESTION:
If swallowed, give plenty of milk or water. DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. Call a physician immediately.
NOTE TO PHYSICIAN:
Because rapid absorption of methylene chloride may occur through lungs if aspirated and cause systemic effects, the
decision of whether to induce vomiting or not should be made by a physician. If lavage is performed, suggest endotracheal and/or
esophageal control. Danger from lung aspiration must be weighed against toxicity when considering emptying the
stomach. Exposure may increase "myocardial irritability." Do not administer sympathomimetic drugs unless absolutely
necessary. Carboxyhemoglobinemia may aggravate any preexisting condition sensitive to a decrease in available
oxygen, such as chronic lung disease, coronary artery disease or anemias.
WORKPLACE EXPOSURE CONTROLS:
PERSONAL PROTECTION:
Safety glasses are recommended for all workplace conditions. Solvent resistant gloves should be used. Other protective
gear, including splash proof goggles or face shield, solvent resistant gloves and outer garment, rubber boots, aprons,
gauntlets, or rain gear should be worn depending on how the product is used.
VENTILATION:
None needed under normal use conditions. For enclosed areas, or where large amounts of the product are being used,
the use of fans or other mechanical ventilation is recommended. Use a half or full face piece organic vapor chemical
cartridge or canister respirator when concentrations exceed the permissible limits. Use self-contained breathing
apparatus (SCBA) or full face piece airline respirator with auxiliary SCBA operated in the pressure-demand mode for
emergencies and for all work performed in storage vessels, poorly ventilated rooms, and other confined areas. DO NOT
SPRAY THIS PRODUCT.
SECTION 4 FIRE & EXPLOSION HAZARDS
FLASH POINT: none-to-boil TCC.
FLAMMABLE LIMITS: not determined
AUTOIGNITION TEMPERATURE: not determined
GENERAL HAZARD:
Containers can rupture and explode under fire conditions due to pressure and vapor buildup.
FIRE FIGHTING:
Either allow fire to burn out under controlled conditions or extinguish with water, foam, or dry chemical.
Cool exposed containers with water spray. Use self contained breathing apparatus.
Contain fire run-off. Run-off may cause environmental damage.
HAZARDOUS COMBUSTION PRODUCTS:
Smoke, fumes, and oxides of carbon, hydrogen chloride, and possible traces of phosgene.

SECTION 5 SPILL CONTROL MEASURES
LAND SPILL:
For small spills, use absorbent material such as towels or absorbent powders. Put all materials into proper waste disposal
containers with lids tightly covered. For larger spills, dike spill, recover free liquid, and use absorbent material to dry area. Put
all materials into appropriate waste containers.
WATER SPILL:
THIS PRODUCT IS HEAVIER THAN WATER AND WILL SINK. Recovery may be difficult. Methylene chloride is listed in the
Clean Water Act as a hazardous substance. Check with local environmental regulatory agencies for reporting requirements.
SECTION 6 HANDLING & STORAGE
STORAGE TEMPERATURE, oF: ambient. DO NOT STORE ABOVE 100 Deg. F.
GENERAL: Keep away from open flames, hot glowing surfaces, electric arcs, and other ignition sources. Do not store near
strong oxidants. Strong UV light (e.g., welding arcs) can cause significant phosgene to be generated. Vent off any internal
pressure in the drum by opening bung slowly. Keep face away when opening bung.
