Special firefighting procedures: Wear a supplied air respirator. Stop spill/release
if it can be done without risk. Move undamaged containers from fire area if it can
be done without risk. Water spray may be useful in minimizing or dispersing
vapors and cooling equipment exposed to heat and flame. Avoid spreading
burning liquid with water for cooling purposes. All five gallon pails and larger
metal containers should be grounded/or bonded when material is transferred.
Unusual fire and explosion hazards: Flashback along vapor trail may occur. This
material is extremely flammable and may be ignited by heat, sparks, pilot lights,
flame or static electricity. Vapor/Air explosion hazard indoors/outdoors or in
sewers.
V. HEALTH HAZARD INFORMATION
SYMPTOMS OF OVEREXPOSURE FOR EACH POTENTIAL ROUTE OF
EXPOSURE
Inhaled: This material has a low degree of toxicity by inhalation. Breathing high
concentrations of vapors or mists may cause irritation of the nose and throat.
Signs of nervous system depression (e.g. drowsiness, dizziness, loss of
coordination and fatigue), irregular heartbeats (arrhythmia).
Contact with skin or eyes: Eye & skin irritant. Prolonged or repeated contact may
cause stinging, tearing, redness & swelling of eyes, and redness, burning and
drying & cracking of the skin.
Absorbed through skin: Symptoms of toxicity are not anticipated by skin
absorption alone. Persons with pre-existing skin disorders may be more
susceptible to the effects of this material.
Swallowed: Ingestion of excessive quantities may cause: irritation of the digestive
tract, signs of nervous system depression.
Aspiration Hazard -This material can enter lungs during swallowing or vomiting &
cause lung inflammation and damage.
HEALTH EFFECTS OR RISKS FROM EXPOSURE
May cause eye and skin irritation. Breathing high concentrations of vapors or
mists may cause irritation of the nose and throat.
Chronic: Prolonged or repeated exposure to vapors or mists may cause brain
and nervous system damage.

FIRST AID: EMERGENCY PROCEDURES
Eye Contact: Hold eye lids apart and flush the affected eye(s) with clean water
for at least 15 minutes. Seek Medical attention.
Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing. Wash the contaminated area with
soap and water, if irritation or redness develops seek medical attention. Inhaled:
If respiratory symptoms of exposure develop, move victim away from source of
exposure and into fresh air. If symptoms persist seek medical attention. If
breathing difficulties develop, oxygen should be administered by qualified
personnel. Seek immediate medical attention.
Swallowed: Do not induce vomiting or give anything by mouth, because this
material can enter the lungs and cause severe lung damage. SEEK immediate
medical attention.
Aspiration hazard-one or more components of this material can enter lungs during
swallowing or vomiting and cause lung inflammation and damage.
COMMENTS: 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.
RECOMMENDATIONS TO PHYSICIAN: Epinephrine and other sympatho-
mimetic drugs may potentiate cardiac arrhythmias in persons exposed to
Toluene. These drugs should be used cautiously, if at all, and only with cardiac
monitoring.
VI. REACTIVITY DATA
Stability: Stable under ordinary use and storage.
Incompatibility (materials to avoid): This product is incompatible with strong acids
or bases, oxidizing agents and selected amines.

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. A universal type foam can be
used to suppress vapors. Keep spills out of drains, sewers or waterways. Use
sand or other inert materials to dam and contain spill. Do not flush area with
water. Call spill response team if a large spill occurs. Notify appropriate
state/local agencies. Preparing wastes for disposal: Dispose of product in
accordance with local, county, state and federal regulation. If spill in excess of
EPA Reportable quantity is made into the environment, immediately notify the
National Response Center (Phone NO: 800-424-8802).

Preparing wastes for disposal: Dispose of product in accordance with local,
county, state and federal regulation.
VIII. SPECIAL HANDLING INFORMATION
Ventilation and engineering controls: If current ventilation practices are not
adequate to maintain airborne concentrations below established below
established exposure limits, additional ventilation or exhaust systems may be
required. Where explosive limits, may be present, electrical systems safe for
such locations must be used.
Respiratory Protection: The use of respiratory protection is advised when
concentrations exceed the established exposure limits. Depending on the
airborne concentrations, use a respirator or gas mask with appropriate cartridges
and canisters (NIOSH approved, if available) or supplied air equipment.
Eye Protection: Approved eye protection to safeguard against potential eye
contact irritation or injury is recommended.
Gloves: The use of nitrile gloves impermeable to the specific material handled is
advised to prevent skin contact and possible irritation Ventilation and engineering
controls: If current ventilation practices are not adequate to maintain airborne
concentrations below established below established exposure limits, additional
ventilation or exhaust systems may be required. Where explosive limits, may be
present, electrical systems safe for such locations must be used.
Respiratory Protection: The use of respiratory protection is advised when
concentrations exceed the established exposure limits. Depending on the
airborne concentrations, use a respirator or gas mask with appropriate cartridges
and canisters (NIOSH approved, if available) or supplied air equipment

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
