Section 3 - Hazards Identification
*** EMERGENCY OVERVIEW ***: Flammable liquid and vapor.
Effects Of Overexposure - Eye Contact: Causes eye irritation.
Effects Of Overexposure - Skin Contact: Prolonged or repeated contact can result in defatting and drying of the skin
which may result in skin irritation and dermatitis (rash). Causes skin irritation.
Effects Of Overexposure - Inhalation: Vapors can cause irritation of the respiratory tract. High concentrations can cause
headache, nausea, weakness, lightheadedness, and stupor (CNS depression).
Effects Of Overexposure - Ingestion: Harmful if swallowed.
Effects Of Overexposure - Chronic Hazards: No Information.
Primary Route(s) Of Entry: Skin Contact, Skin Absorption, Inhalation, Ingestion, Eye Contact

Section 4 - First Aid Measures
First Aid - Eye Contact: Flush eyes with water a minimum of 15 minutes occasionally lifting lower and upper lids. Get
medical attention promptly. Remove contact lenses if worn.
First Aid - Skin Contact: Remove contaminated shoes and clothes and clean before reuse. Wash with soap and water. Get
medical attention if irritation develops or persists.
First Aid - Inhalation: Remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen.
Get immediate medical attention.
First Aid - Ingestion: If swallowed, do NOT induce vomiting. Give victim a glass of water or milk. Call a physician or poison
control center immediately. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
Section 5 - Fire Fighting Measures
Flash Point, F: 105 Lower Explosive Limit, %: N.D.
(TCC) Upper Explosive Limit, %: N.D.
Extinguishing Media: Carbon Dioxide, Dry Chemical, Foam
Unusual Fire And Explosion Hazards: May cause flash fire or explosion. Flammable liquid and vapor. Vapors/dust may
form explosive mixture with air. Vapors can travel to a source of ignition and flash back.
Special Firefighting Procedures: Do not use water. Water spray to cool containers or protect personnel. Use with caution.
As in any fire, wear self-contained breathing apparatus pressure-demand (MSHA/NIOSH approved or equivalent) and full
protective gear.
Section 6 ?Accidental Release Measures
Steps To Be Taken If Material Is Released Or Spilled: Recover by pumping (use an explosion proof or hand pump).
Eliminate all ignition sources. Prevent additional discharge of material if able to do so safely. Flush spill area with water.
Use water mist or spray to disperse vapors. Ventilate spill area. Use only non-combustible material for clean-up. Avoid
runoff into storm sewers and ditches which lead to waterways. Absorb spill with inert material (e.g. dry sand or earth), then
place in a chemical waste container.
Section 7 - Handling And Storage
Handling: Follow all MSDS/label precautions even after containers are emptied because they may retain product residues.
Ground and bond containers when transferring material. Use spark-proof tools and explosion proof equipment. Use only in
a well ventilated area.
Storage: Store containers in a cool, well ventilated place. Keep away from heat, sparks, and flame. Keep container closed
when not in use.
