OSHA Hazard Classification: Flammable, irritant, organ effects
Canadian WHIMS Classification: Class B, Division 1; Class D, Division 2, Subdivision B
SECTION 4. EMERGENCY AND FIRST AID PROCEDURES
Skin: Remove contaminated clothing immediately. Wash all exposed areas with soap and water. Get medical attention if irritation develops. Remove dried
cement with Oatey Plumber's Hand Cleaner or baby oil.
Eyes: If material gets into eyes or if fumes cause irritation, immediately flush eyes with water for 15 minutes. If irritation persists, seek
medical attention.
Inhalation: If symptoms of exposure develop, remove to fresh air. If breathing becomes difficult, administer oxygen. Administer artificial
respiration if breathing has stopped. Seek immediate medical attention.
Ingestion: DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. Rinse mouth with water. Never give anything by mouth to a person who is unconscious or drowsy. Get immediate
medical attention by calling a Poison Control Center, or hospital emergency room. If medical advice cannot be obtained, then take the
person and product to the nearest medical emergency treatment center or hospital.

SECTION 5. FIREFIGHTING MEASURES
Flashpoint / Method: 0 - 5 Degrees F. / PMCC
Flammability: LEL = 1.8 % Volume, UEL = 11.8 % Volume
Extinguishing Media: Use dry chemical, CO2, or foam to extinguish fire. Cool fire exposed container with water. Water may be innefective as an extinguish-
ing agent.
Special Fire Fighting Procedure: Fire Firefighters should wear positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing for fires in
areas where chemicals are used or stored.
Unusual Fire or Explosion Hazards: Extremely flammable liquid. Keep away from heat and all sources of ignition including sparks, flames, lighted cigarettes
and pilot lights. Containers may rupture or explode in the heat of a fire. Vapors are heavier than air and may travel to a remote ignition source and flash back.
This product contains tetrahydrofuran that may form explosive organic peroxide when exposed to air or light or with age.
Hazardous Decomposition Products: Combustion will produce toxic and irritating vapors including carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and hydrogen chloride.
SECTION 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Spill or Leak Procedures: Remove all sources of ignition and ventilate area. Stop leak if it can be done without risk. Personnel cleaning up the spill should
wear appropriate personal protective equipment, including respirators if vapor concentrations are high. Soak up spill with an inert absorbent such as sand,
earth or other non-combusting material. Put absorbent material in covered, labeled metal containers. Prevent liquid from entering watercourses, sewers and
natural waterways. Report releases to authorities as required. See Section 12 for disposal information.
SECTION 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Handling: Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing. Avoid breathing vapors or mists. Use with adequate ventilation (equivalent to outdoors). Wash
thoroughly after handling. Do not eat, drink or smoke in the work area. Keep product away from heat, sparks, flames and all other sources of ignition. No
smoking in storage or use areas. Keep containers closed when not in use.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible materials. Keep containers closed when not in use.
Other: "Empty" containers retain product residue and can be hazardous. Follow all MSDS precautions in handling empty containers. Do not cut or weld on or
near empty or full containers.
SECTION 8. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
This product is not expected to be toxic to aquatic organisms.
Cyclohexanone: 96 hour LC50 values for fish is over 100 mg/l.
Tetrahydrofuran: 96 hour LC50 fathead minnow: 2160 mg/L.
Methyl Ethyl Ketone: 96 hour LC50 for fish is greater than 100 mg/L.
Acetone: 96 hour LC50 for fish is greater than 100 mg/L.
VOC Information: This product emits VOC's (volatile organic compounds) in its use. Make sure that use of this product complies with local VOC emission
regulations, where they exist.
VOC Level: 550 g/l per SCAQMD Test Method 316A.
SECTION 9. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
Ventilation: Open doors & windows. Provide ventilation capable of maintaining emissions at the point of use below recommended exposure limits. If used in
enclosed area, use exhaust fans. Exhaust fans should be explosion-proof or set up in a way that flammable concentrations of solvent vapors are not exposed
to electrical fixtures or hot surfaces.
Respiratory Protection: For operations where the exposure limit may be exceeded, a NIOSH approved organic vapor respirator or supplied air respirator is
recommended. Equipment selection depends on contaminant type and concentration, select in accordance with 29 CFR 1910.134 and good industrial
hygiene practice. For firefighting, use self-contained breathing apparatus.
Skin Protection: Rubber gloves are suitable for normal use of the product. For long exposures product chemical resistant gloves may be required such as
4H(tm) or Silver Shield(tm) to avoid prolonged skin contact.
Eye Protection: Safety glasses with sideshields or safety goggles.
Other: Eye wash and safety shower should be available.

SECTION 12. DISPOSAL INFORMATION
Waste Disposal: Dispose in accordance with current local, state and federal regulations.
SECTION 13. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Inhalation: Vapors or mists may cause mucous membrane and respiratory irritation, coughing, headache, dizziness, dullness, nausea, shortness of breath
and vomiting. High concentrations may cause central nervous system depression, narcosis and unconsciousness. May cause kidney, liver and lung damage.
Skin: May cause irritation with redness, itching and pain. Methyl ethyl ketone and cyclohexanone may be absorbed through the skin causing effects similar to
those listed under inhalation.
Eye: Vapors may cause irritation. Direct contact may cause irritation with redness, stinging and tearing of the eyes. May cause eye damage.
Ingestion: Swallowing may cause abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. Aspiration during swallowing or vomiting can cause chemical pneumonia
and lung damage. May cause kidney and liver damage.
Toxicity: Chronic prolonged or repeated overexposure cause dermatitis and damage to the kidney, liver, lungs and central nervous system.
Toxicity Data:
Acetone: Oral rat LD50: 5,800 mg/kg Inhalation rat LC50: 50,100 mg/m3/8 hours
Cyclohexanone: Oral rat LD50: 1,620 mg/kg Inhalation rat LC50: 8,000 ppm/4 hours. Skin rabbit LD50: 1 mL/kg
Tetrahydrofuran: Oral rat LD50: 1,650 mg/kg Inhalation rat LC50: 21,000 ppm/3 hours
Methyl Ethyl Ketone: Oral rat LD50: 2,737 mg/kg Inhalation rat LC50: 23,500 mg/m3/8 hours. Skin rabbit LD50: 6,480 mg/kg
Sensitization: None of the components are known to cause sensitization.
Carcinogenicity: None of the components are listed as a carcinogen or suspect carcinogen by NTP, IARC or OSHA. The National Toxicology Program
has reported that exposure of mice and rats to Tetrahydrofuran (THF) vapor levels up to 1800 ppm 6 hr/day, 5 days/week for their lifetime caused an
increased incidence of kidney tumors in male rats and liver tumors in female mice. The significance of these findings for human health are unclear at this time,
and may be related to "species specific" effects. Elevated incidences of tumors in humans have not been reported for THF.
Mutagenicity: Acetone has been positive in a mammal cell cytogenic analysis but negative in many other assays. At most, acetone is weakly genotoxic.
Cyclohexanone has been positive in bacterial and mammalian assays. Tetrahydrofuran was positive in a bacterial assay. Methyl ethyl ketone is not considered
genotoxic based on laboratory studies.
Reproductive Toxicity: Methyl ethyl ketone and cyclohexanone have been shown to cause embryofetal toxicity and birth defects in laboratory animals.
Acetone and tetrahydrofuran have been found to cause adverse developmental effects only when exposure levels cause other toxic effects to the mother.
Medical Conditions Aggravated By Exposure: Persons with pre-existing skin, lung, kidney or liver disorders may be at increased risk from exposure to this product.
