Special firefighting procedures: The use of SCBA is recommended for fire
fighters. Water spray may be useful in minimizing vapors and cooling containers
exposed to heat and flame. Avoid spreading burning liquid with water used for
cooling purposes.
Unusual fire and explosion hazards: This material is flammable and may be
ignited by heat, sparks, flame or static electricity.
V. HEALTH HAZARD INFORMATION
SYMPTOMS OF OVEREXPOSURE FOR EACH POTENTIAL ROUTE OF
EXPOSURE
Inhaled: Breathing high concentrations of vapors or mists may cause irritation of
the nose and throat and may present signs of nervous system depression.
Prolonged or repeated exposure to vapors or mists may cause liver damage,
kidney damage, pulmonary edema (accumulation of fluid in the lungs), visual
disturbances (including blindness). Respiratory symptoms associated with pre-
existing lung disorders may be aggravated by exposure to this material.
Contact with skin or eyes: Direct contact to vapors or mists may cause stinging,
tearing, redness and swelling. Prolonged or repeated contact to skin may cause
redness, burning and drying and cracking of the skin and skin damage.
Absorbed through skin: Symptoms of toxicity resulting from dermal contact under
normal use conditions are unlikely. Persons with pre-existing skin disorders may
be more susceptible to the effects of this material.
Swallowed: Symptoms of toxicity may include irritation of the digestive tract,
signs of nervous system depression, vomiting, abdominal pain, visual
disturbances, convulsions, coma and death.
Aspiration Hazard - one or more components of this material can enter lungs
during swallowing or vomiting and cause lung inflammation and damage.
HEALTH EFFECTS OR RISKS FROM EXPOSURE
Acute: Irritation, burning and tearing of eyes, skin, nose and throat.
Chronic: Kidney and liver damage, pulmonary edema and visual disturbances
(including blindness.

FIRST AID: EMERGENCY PROCEDURES
Eye Contact: Move victim away from exposure to vapors and into fresh air. For
direct contact, hold eyelids apart and flush the affected eye(s) with clean water
for at least 15 minutes. Seek medical attention.
Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing. Cleanse affected area(s)
thoroughly by washing with mild soap and water. If irritation or redness develops
and persists, seek medical attention. Inhaled: Move victim away from source of
exposure and into fresh air. If symptoms persist, seek medical attention. If victim
is not breathing, artificial respiration should be administered. If breathing
difficulties develop, oxygen should be administered by qualified personnel. Seek
immediate medical attention.
Swallowed: Seek emergency medical attention. This product is slightly toxic by
ingestion and an aspiration hazard. If victim is drowsy or unconscious, place on
the left side with the head down and do not give anything by mouth. If victim is
conscious, alert and not spontaneously vomiting, then vomiting should be
induced for ingestions of large amounts, preferably with syrup of ipecac under
direction from a physician or poison center. If possible do not leave victim unat-
tended.
COMMENTS: A component of this product, Benzene, has been identified as a
carcinogen by NTP, IARC, USEPA, or OSHA. Toluene in this product can cause
irreversible changes in the genetic material (DNA) of a cell. Intentional misuse by
deliberate inhalation of Toluene has been shown to cause liver, kidney and brain
damage. Xylene an ingredient in this product has been found to cause harm to
the fetus in the laboratory animal studies. The relevance of these findings to
humans is uncertain. Pre-existing blood, kidney, and liver disorders may be
aggravated by exposure to this material. Reports have associated repeated and
prolonged occupational overexposure to solvents with permanent brain and
nervous system damage (sometimes referred to as solvent or painters'
syndrome). Intentional misuse by deliberately concentrating and inhaling the
contents may be harmful or fatal. Overexposure to this material or its component
has been found to cause the following in laboratory animals; anemia, liver
abnormalities, kidney damage, eye damage, and overexposure to this material or
its components have also been suggested as a cause of human cardiac
abnormality.
MEDICAL CONDITION AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE: Respiratory symptoms
associated with pre-existing lung disorders, pre-existing blood, kidney, and liver
disorders, and persons with pre-existing skin disorders may be aggravated by
exposure to this material.
VI. REACTIVITY DATA
Stability: Stable under normal conditions.
Incompatibility (materials to avoid): This product forms combustible and/or
explosion mixtures with air and/or oxygen. This product is incompatible with
strong acids or bases, oxidizing agents, selected amines, anhydride, isocyanate,
acetaldehyde, chlorine, ethylene oxide, hydrogen peroxide, organometallic
contaminants and aluminum.

Hazardous Decomposition products (including combustion products): Thermal
decomposition in the presence of air may yield carbon dioxide or carbon
monoxide.
Hazardous polymerization: Will not occur.
VII. SPILL, LEAK, AND DISPOSAL PROCEDURES
Spill response procedures: Stay upwind and away from spill. Keep all sources of
ignition and hot metal surfaces away from spill. If spill is indoor ventilate area of
spill. A universal type foam can be used to suppress vapors. Keep spill out of
drains, sewers or waterways. Use sand or other inert materials to dam and
contain spill. Do not flush with water; use absorbent pads. For small spills do not
flush with water; use absorbent pads. Call a spill response team if there is a large
spill. Notify appropriate state and local agencies.

Preparing wastes for disposal: Dispose of product in accordance with local,

VIII. SPECIAL HANDLING INFORMATION
Ventilation and engineering controls: If current ventilation practices are not
adequate to maintain airborne concentration below established exposure limits,
additional ventilation or exhaust systems may be required. Where explosive
mixtures may be present, electrical systems safe for such locations may be used.
Respiratory Protection: The use of respiratory protection is advised when
concentrations exceed the established exposure limits. Depending on the
airborne concentration, use a respirator or gas mask with appropriate cartridges
and canisters (NIOSH Approved).
Eye Protection: Use safety goggles where solvent splashes are expected.
Gloves: The use of gloves impermeable to the specific material handled is
advised to prevent skin contact and possible irritation.
Other clothing and equipment: Eye wash and quick drench shower facilities
should be available in the work area. Thoroughly clean shoes and wash
contaminated clothing before reuse.

OTHER HANDLING AND STORAGE REQUIREMENTS:
Keep containers tightly closed. Keep containers cool, dry and away from sources
of ignition. Use and store this product with adequate ventilation. Avoid inhalation
of vapors and personal contact with the product. Use good personal hygiene
practice. "Empty" containers retain residue (liquid and/or vapor) and can be
dangerous. Do not pressurize, cut, weld, braze, solder, drill, grind or expose such
containers to heat, flame, sparks or other sources of ignition; they may explode
and cause injury or death. "Empty" drums should be completely drained, properly
bunged and promptly shipped to the supplier or a drum reconditioner. All other
containers should be disposed of in an environmentally safe manner and in
accordance with governmental regulations.
