Section IV - Fire and Explosion Hazard Data
Flash Point ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 80?F. Setaflash
OSHA Classification ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ IC
Flammable Limits % by Volume in Air at 212?F.
Lower Explosion Limit ~~~~~~~~ 1.10
Upper Explosion Limit ~~~~~~~~ 7.00
Extinguishing Media ~ Use foam, carbon dioxide or chemical fire fighting apparatus.
Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards ~ Keep containers tightly closed. Isolate from heat,
electrical equipment. Sparks and closed containers may explode when exposed to
extreme heat.
Special Fire Fighting Procedures ~ The use of self-contained breathing apparatus is
recommended for fire fighters. Water spray may be used for cooling containers to
prevent possible pressure build-up and auto-ignition or explosion when exposed to
extreme heat. Avoid spreading burning liquid with water used for cooling.
Section V - Health Hazard Data
Threshold Limit Value - See Section II.
Effects of Overexposure
Eye Contact ~ Severe irritation, redness, tearing and blurred vision.
Skin Contact ~ Prolonged or repeated exposure can cause moderate irritation, defatting
and dermatitis.
Inhalation ~ Excessive inhalation of vapors can cause nasal and respiratory irritation,
dizziness, weakness, fatigue, nausea and headache. High concentrations may result in
narcosis. (Central Nervous System depression).
Ingestion ~ Can cause gastrointestinal irritation, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea.
Aspiration of material into lungs can cause chemical pneumonitis which can be fatal.

** Laboratory animals exposed by various routes to high doses of xylene showed
evidence of effects in the liver, kidneys, lungs, spleen, heart and adrenals. Rats exposed
to xylene vapor during pregnancy showed embryo/fetotoxic effects. Mice exposed orally
to doses producing maternal toxicity also showed embryo/fetotoxic effects. Rats exposed
by inhalation to 800 ppm or greater of xylene for 14 hours a day for 6 weeks or to 1450
ppm 8 hours a day for 1 to 3 days exhibited high frequency hearing deficits. **
** While there is no evidence that industry acceptable levels of aromatic solvent vapors
(e.g. The TLV) have produced cardiac effects in humans, animal studies have shown that
inhalation of high levels of toluene produced cardiac sensitization. Such sensitization
may cause fatal changes in heart rhythms. This latter effect was shown to be enhanced
by hypoxia or the injection of adrenaline-like agents. Rats exposed to 1400 ppm or 1200
ppm of toluene for 14 hours a day for 4 or 5 weeks (respectively) exhibited high
frequency hearing deficits. The significance of this information to man is unknown. **
** Chronic exposure may cause damage to the Central Nervous System, Respiratory
System, Lungs, Eyes, Skin, Gastrointestinal Tract, Liver, Spleen and Kidneys. **
EMERGENCY AND FIRST AID PROCEDURES
Eye Contact ~ Flush with clean, lukewarm water for at least 15 minutes, occasionally
lifting the eyelids. Obtain medical attention.
Skin Contact ~ Remove contaminated clothing. Wash affected skin areas thoroughly
with soap and water. Wash contaminated clothing thoroughly before re-use.
Inhalation ~ Remove to fresh air. Apply artificial respiration or administer oxygen, if
necessary. Call a physician immediately.
~ Ingestion ~ Keep person warm, quiet and get immediate medical attention. Do not
induce vomiting, because aspiration of material into the lungs from vomiting can cause
chemical pneumonitis which can be fatal.
Section VI - Reactivity Data
Stability ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Stable
Incompatibility ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Avoid contact with strong oxidizing
agents.
Hazardous Decomposition Products ~~~~~~~ Thermal decomposition may yield carbon
dioxide and/or carbon monoxide.
Hazardous Polymerization ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Will not occur.
California SCAQMD Rule 443.1 ~~~~~~~~~ This product contains photochemically
reactive volatile organic compound(s).
Refer to Sections II and III.

Section VII - Spill or Leak Procedures
Steps To Be Taken In Case Material Is Released Or Spilled
Evacuate all non-essential personnel. Remove all sources of ignition. Ventilate the area.
Equip employees with appropriate protection equipment (See Section VIII). Dike around
spilled material. Cover spill with inert absorbent material and shovel with non-sparking
tools into container. Remove containers to a safe area and seal.
Waste Disposal Method
Waste material must be disposed of in accordance with federal, state and local
environmental regulatory controls.
Section VIII - Special Protection Information
Respiratory Protection
Use self-contained breathing apparatus where vapor concentration may be above TLV
limits. Below the TLV limits, use a NIOSH-approved vapor respirator or an air line
respirator with escape bottle provisions.
Ventilation
Local exhaust must be sufficient to keep airborne vapor concentrations below the TLV
limit. Exhaust air may need to be cleaned by scrubbers or filters to reduce environmental
contamination.
Protective Gloves
Chemical resistant gloves.
Eye Protection
Safety glasses with side shields.
Other Protective Equipment
Eye bath and safety shower. To prevent repeated or prolonged skin contact, wear
impervious clothing and boots.
HAZARDOUS MATERIAL IDENTIFICATION SYSTEM - See Page 1 of MSDS.
Section IX - Special Precautions
PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN IN HANDLING AND STORING:
Drums - Protect against physical damage. Outside or detached storage preferred.
Bulk - Storage should be in standard flammable liquid storage tanks.
OTHER PRECAUTIONS
All equipment should be grounded and bonded to reduce static electricity hazard. Use
non-sparking tools.
Disposal of containers should be in accordance with applicable federal, state and local
laws and regulations. "Empty" drums should not be given to individuals.
