redness, and swelling of eyes.
Skin
Can cause skin irritation. Prolonged or repeated contact may dry
the skin. Symptoms may include redness, burning, and drying and
cracking of skin, burns and other skin damage. Passage of this
material into the body through the skin is possible, and may add
to toxic effects from breathing or swallowing.
Swallowing
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.
Inhalation
Breathing of vapor or mist is possible. Breathing this material
may be harmful. Symptoms usually occur at air concentrations
higher than the recommended exposure limits (See Section 8).
Breathing air containing n-butyl acetate, which results from its
use in aerosol applications, may cause delayed lung injury.
Symptoms of Exposure
Signs and symptoms of exposure to this material through breathing,
swallowing, and/or passage of the material through the skin may
include: metallic taste, mouth and throat irritation (soreness,
dry or scratchy feeling, cough), stomach or intestinal upset
(nausea, vomiting, diarrhea), irritation (nose, throat, airways),
cough, tight feeling in the chest, central nervous system
excitation (giddiness, liveliness, light-headed feeling) followed
by central nervous system depression (dizziness, drowsiness,
weakness, fatigue, nausea, headache, unconsciousness) and other
central nervous system effects, leg cramps, muscle weakness, low
blood pressure, pain in the abdomen and lower back, mild,
temporary changes in the liver, effects on heart rate, respiratory
depression (slowing of the breathing rate), blurred vision,
shortness of breath, loss of coordination, confusion, cyanosis
(causes blue coloring of the skin and nails from lack of oxygen),
high blood sugar, narcosis (dazed or sluggish feeling), lung edema
(fluid buildup in the lung tissue), kidney damage, visual
impairment (including blindness), coma, and death.
Target Organ Effects
This material (or a component) shortens the time of onset or
worsens the liver and kidney damage induced by other chemicals.
This material (or a component) shortens the time of onset or
worsens the neurotoxic effects induced by other chemicals.
Exposure to lethal concentrations of methanol has been shown to
cause damage to organs including liver, kidneys, pancreas, heart,
lungs and brain. Although this rarely occurs, survivors of severe
intoxication may suffer from permanent neurological damage. Based
on animal studies, exposure to methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) increases
the onset of peripheral neuropathy caused by exposure to methyl
butyl ketone (MBK), and/or n-hexane, and/or ethyl butyl ketone.
MEK alone has not been shown to cause peripheral neuropathy.
Prolonged intentional toluene abuse may lead to damage to many
organ systems having effects on: central and peripheral nervous
systems, vision, hearing, liver, kidneys, heart and blood. Such
abuse has been associated with brain damage characterized by
disturbances in gait, personality changes and loss of memory.
Comparable central nervous system effects have not been shown to
result from occupational exposure to toluene. Overexposure to
this material (or its components) has been suggested as a cause of
the following effects in laboratory animals: cardiac
sensitization, respiratory tract damage (nose, throat, and
airways), testis damage, kidney damage, liver damage, effects on
hearing, central nervous system damage, Overexposure to this
material (or its components) has been suggested as a cause of the
following effects in humans: central nervous system effects,
cardiac sensitization, visual impairment, kidney damage.
Developmental Information
This material (or a component) has been shown to cause birth
defects in laboratory animal studies. The relevance of these
findings to humans is uncertain. Toluene may be harmful to the
human fetus based on positive test results with laboratory
animals. Case studies show that prolonged intentional abuse of
toluene during pregnancy can cause birth defects in humans.
Methanol has caused birth defects in laboratory animals, but only
when inhaled at extremely high vapor concentrations. The
relevance of this finding to humans is uncertain.
Cancer Information
Based on the available information, this material cannot be
classified with regard to carcinogenicity. This material is not
listed as a carcinogen by the International Agency for Research on
Cancer, the National Toxicology Program, or the Occupational
Safety and Health Administration. Ethylbenzene has been shown to
cause cancer in laboratory animals. The relevance of this finding
to humans is uncertain. Ethylene glycol monobutyl ether has been
shown to cause cancer in laboratory animals. The relevance of
this finding to humans is uncertain.
Other Health Effects
No data
Primary Route(s) of Entry
Inhalation, Skin absorption, Skin contact, Eye contact.

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, immediately move individual away from
exposure and into fresh air. Seek immediate medical attention;
keep person warm and quiet. If person is not breathing, begin
artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, administer
oxygen.
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
product contains methanol which can cause intoxication and central
nervous system depression. Methanol is metabolized to formic acid
and formaldehyde. These metabolites can cause metabolic acidosis,
visual disturbances and blindness. Since metabolism is required
for these toxic symptoms, their onset may be delayed from 6 to 30
hours following ingestion. Ethanol competes for the same
metabolic pathway and has been used to prevent methanol
metabolism. Ethanol administration is indicated in symptomatic
patients or at blood methanol concentrations above 20 ug/dl.
Methanol is effectively removed by hemodialysis. 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. This
material (or a component) has produced hyperglycemia and ketosis
following substantial ingestion. Preexisting disorders of the
following organs (or organ systems) may be aggravated by exposure
to this material: respiratory tract, skin, lung (for example,
asthma-like conditions), liver, kidney, central nervous system,
pancreas, heart, male reproductive system, auditory system,
Exposure to this material may aggravate any preexisting condition
sensitive to a decrease in available oxygen, such as chronic lung
disease, coronary artery disease or anemias. Individuals with
preexisting heart disorders may be more susceptible to arrhythmias
(irregular heartbeats) if exposed to high concentrations of this
material.

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. All five-gallon pails and larger metal containers,
including tank cars and tank trucks, should be grounded and/or
bonded when material is transferred. Emergency eyewash fountains
and safety showers should be available in the immediate vicinity
of potential exposure. 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.

advised; however, OSHA regulations also permit other type safety
glasses. Consult your safety representative.
Skin Protection
Wear impervious 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
