III.      POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS

EYES:           May cause irritation.

SKIN:           Primary skin irritant.

INHALATION:     Central nervous system depression characterized by headaches, dizziness, nausea, and confusion.

 INGESTION:     Can cause gastrointestinal irritation, nausea, and vomiting. Aspiration of material into lung may cause chemical

                pneumonitis, which can be fatal.

REPEATED OVEREXPOSURE: Repeated overexposure to toluene may cause liver damage. Reports have associated prolonged and repeated

                occupational overexposure to solvents with permanent brain and nervous system damage. Intentional misuse by

                deliberately concentrating and inhaling the contents may be harmful or fatal.

SIGNIFICANT LABORATORY DATA WITH POSSIBLE RELEVANCE TO HUMAN HEALTH:

                Toluene has been found to cause kidney, lung and spleen damage in laboratory animals.





IV.       FIRST AID

EYES:               Immediately flush with large amounts of water, lifting upper and lower lids occasionally, for at least 15 minutes. Seek

                    medical attention.

SKIN:               Immediately flush the affected area with large amounts of water. Remove contaminated clothing as water is applied.

                    Consult a physician.

INHALATION:         Remove to fresh air immediately. If breathing has stopped, give artificial respiration. Keep warm and quiet. Get medical

                    attention immediately.

INGESTION:          If swallowed, do not induce vomiting. Call poison control center, hospital emergency room or physician immediately.





V.        FIREFIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS

NFPA FLAMMABILITY CLASSIFICATION: Flammable Liquid, Class IB

FLASH POINT (Method Use):      17?F (-8?C) SFCC

FLAMMABLE LIMITS:              LEL - 1.0%             UEL - 11.0%

AUTO-IGNITION TEMPERATURE:     No Data

EXTINGUISHING MEDIA:           Use NFPA Class B Fire Extinguisher (carbon dioxide, all purpose dry chemical or alcohol foam)

                               designed to extinguish flammable liquid fires. Polymer foam is preferred for large fires.

SPECIAL PROCEDURES:            Fire fighters should wear SCBA. Water may be ineffective, but may be used to cool exposed

                               containers to prevent pressure build up and possible auto ignition when exposed to extreme heat. If

                               water is used, fog nozzles are preferable.

UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS: During emergency conditions, overexposure to decomposition products may cause a health

                               hazard. Symptoms may not be immediately apparent. Obtain medical attention.

                               DANGER - Extremely flammable. Vapors may cause flash fire.

VI.        ACCIDENT RESPONSE MEASURES

CHEMTREC TELEPHONE: 800-424-9300                         NATIONAL SPILL RESPONSE CENTER: 800-424-8802



SPILL PROCEDURES: Wear respirators, eye, hand and body protection appropriate for the size of the spill and the exposure encountered. Keep

unauthorized personnel away. Eliminate all ignition sources (flames, hot surfaces, and sources of electrical, static or frictional sparks). Dike and

contain spill with inert material (sand, vermiculite, etc.). Transfer liquids to covered metal containers for recovery or disposal, or remove with

inert absorbent. Use only non-sparking tools. Place absorbent diking materials in covered metal containers for disposal. Prevent contamination

of sewers, streams, and groundwater with spilled material or used absorbent.





VII.       SAFE HANDLING AND STORAGE

Do not store above 115?F (46?C). Store large quantities in compliance with applicable OSHA regulations (29 CFR 1910.106). Prohibit

smoking in these areas. Do not store or use near sources of ignition (open flame, sparks, heat, etc.) or combustible materials. Containers should

be grounded and bonded to the receiving container when dispensing this liquid product. Do not take internally. Close container after each use.

Empty containers must not be washed and reused for any purpose. Never use pressure to empty. Drum is not a pressure vessel. Do not weld,

braze or cut on empty container.





VIII.      ENGINEERING CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION

ENGINEERING CONTROLS: Control airborne concentrations below the exposure limits. Use only with adequate ventilation.

RESPRIRATORY:          Proper selection of respiratory protection depends on many factors including duration, level of exposure, and

                       conditions of use. In general, exposure to organic chemicals such as those contained in this product may not

                       require the use of respiratory protection if used in well-ventilated areas. In restricted ventilation areas, a

                       NIOSH approved chemical cartridge respirator may be required. Under certain conditions, such as spraying, a

                       mechanical pre-filter may be required. In confined areas use a NISOSH MSHA approved air supply respirator.

                       If the TLV's listed in Section II are exceeded, use a properly fitted NIOSH ?MSHA approved respirator with

                       an appropriate protection factor. Refer to OSHA 29 CFR 1910. 134 "Respiratory Protection" and "Respiratory

                       Protection ?A Manual and Guideline ?ACGIH."

VENTILATION:           Provide local exhaust ventilation in sufficient volume and pattern to maintain exposures below nuisance dust

                       levels and permissible exposure limits shown in Section II. Refer to Industrial Ventilation ?A Manual by

                       ACGIH for additional information.

HAND PROTECTION:       Solvent impermeable gloves required for repeated and prolonged contact.

EYE PROTECTION:        Wear safety glasses for normal use. Wear safety goggles when the potential for splash hazards exist.

OTHER PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT: Eye wash facility or device, safety shower.
