HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
______________________________________________________________________
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW:
APPEARANCE: Yellow. Flash Point 45oF.
WARNING! Flammable liquid. Causes respiratory tract irritation.
Causes skin irritation. May cause eye irritation. This substance has
caused adverse reproductive and fetal effects in animals. May cause
central nervous system depression. Aspiration hazard. Causes
digestive tract irritation. May cause liver damage. May cause kidney
damage.
TARGET ORGANS: Kidneys, heart, central nervous system, liver.
POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS:
EYE: Causes eye irritation. May result in corneal
injury. Vapors may cause eye irritation.
SKIN: May cause skin irritation. Prolonged and/or
repeated contact may cause irritation and/or
dermatitis.
INGESTION: Aspiration hazard. May cause irritation of the
digestive tract. May cause effects similar to
those for inhalation exposure. Aspiration of
material into the lungs may cause chemical
pneumonitis, which may be fatal.
INHALATION: Inhalation of high concentrations may cause
central nervous system effects characterized by
headache, dizziness, unconsciousness and coma.
Inhalation of vapor may cause respiratory tract
irritation. May cause heart disturbances,
possibly leading to cardiac arrest and death.
CHRONIC: Prolonged or repeated skin contact may cause
dermatitis. May cause cardiac sensitization and
severe heart abnormalities. May cause liver and
kidney damage.

FIRST AID MEASURES
______________________________________________________________________
EYES: Flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15
minutes occasionally lifting the upper and lower
lids. Get medical aid immediately.
SKIN: Flush skin with plenty of soap and water for at
least 15 minutes while removing contaminated
2
clothing and shoes. Get medical aid if irritation
develops or persists.
INGESTION: Do NOT induce vomiting. If victim is conscious
and alert, give 2-4 cupfuls of milk or water.
Possible aspiration hazard. Get medical aid
immediately.
INHALATION: Remove from exposure to fresh air immediately. If
not breathing, give artificial respiration.
If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get
medical aid.
NOTES TO PHYSICIAN: Causes cardiac sensitization to endogenous
catelcholamines which may lead to cardiac
arrhythmias. Do NOT use adrenergic agents such as
epinephrine or pseudoepinephrine.
______________________________________________________________________
FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
______________________________________________________________________
GENERAL INFORMATION: Containers can build up pressure if exposed to
heat and/or fire. As in any fire, wear a
self-contained breathing apparatus in
pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or
equivalent), and full protective gear. Water
runoff can cause environmental damage. Dike and
collect water used to fight fire. Vapors can
travel to a source of ignition and flash back.
Flammable Liquid. Can release vapors that form
explosive mixtures at temperatures above the
flashpoint. Use water spray to keep fire-exposed
containers cool. Water may be ineffective.
Material is lighter than water and a fire may be
spread by the use of water.
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Use dry chemical, carbon dioxide, or
alcohol-resistant foam.
AUTOIGNITION TEMP: Not applicable.
FLASH POINT: 45oF (7.22oC)
NFPA RATING: Not published.
EXPLOSION LIMITS: LOWER: 1.4
UPPER: 6.7
______________________________________________________________________
ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
______________________________________________________________________
GENERAL INFORMATION:Use proper personal protective equipment as
indicated in section titled EXPOSURE CONTROLS,
PERSONAL PROTECTION.
SPILLS/LEAKS: Remove all sources of ignition. Absorb spill
using an absorbent, non-combustible material such
as earth, sand, or vermiculite.

HANDLING AND STORAGE
______________________________________________________________________
HANDLING: Remove contaminated clothing and wash before
reuse. Use with adequate ventilation. Avoid
contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Empty
containers retain product residue, (liquid and/or
vapor), and can be dangerous. Avoid contact with
heat, sparks and flame. Avoid ingestion and
inhalation. Do not pressurize, cut, weld, braze,
solder, drill, grind, or expose empty
containers to heat, sparks or open flames.
STORAGE: Keep away from sources of ignition. Store in a
cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from
incompatible substances.
