Signs and Symptoms of Exposure:
INHALATION: May cause nose and throat irritation, headache, nausea, loss of coordination, dizziness,
unconsciousness, and even asphyxiation.
EYE CONTACT: May cause irritation or corneal clouding.
SKIN CONTACT: May cause defatting or dermatitis.
INGESTION: Aspiration into lungs may cause chemical pneumonitis.
NOTICE: Reports have associated repeated and prolonged occupational over-exposure to solvents with
permanent brain and nervous system damage. Intentional misuse by deliberately concentrating and inhaling the
contents may be harmful or fatal.
Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure: None known.
SECTION 4: EMERGENCY AND FIRST AID PROCEDURES
INHALATION: Remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration, preferably mouth-to-mouth. If
breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Call a physician at once.
EYE CONTACT: Flush with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while holding eyelids open. Flush longer if there
is indication of residual material in the eye.
SKIN CONTACT: Remove contaminated clothing and launder before re-use. Wash affected area with plenty of
soap and water.
INGESTION: Call a physician immediately. Induce vomiting ONLY AT THE INSTRUCTIONS OF A PHYSICIAN.
Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
SECTION 5: FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD DATA
Flash Point (Method Used): 20癋 (-6癈) TCC
Flammable limits: LEL: 2.0 UEL: 10.0
Extinguishing Media: Water fog, carbon dioxide, foam, or dry chemical.
Special Firefighting Procedures: Do not enter confined fire space without proper protective equipment including
NIOSH approved self-contained breathing apparatus.
Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: Vapors may build up in poorly ventilated areas and be ignited, causing
flash fires or explosions. Vapors are heavier than air and may travel along ground or floor to source of ignition,
causing flash fires or explosions.

SECTION 6: ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Steps to be taken if material is released or spilled: Eliminate all ignition sources. Provide adequate ventilation.
Avoid breathing vapors. Avoid eye and skin contact. Wipe up with rags, paper, or other absorbent. Place in
suitable closed container for disposal.
SECTION 7: EXPOSURE CONTROLS -- PERSONAL PROTECTION
Respiratory Protection: For air contaminants above TLV or permissible limits, use NIOSH approved respirator for
organic vapors.
Ventilation: Use local exhaust to keep vapors below TLV or permissible limits.
Protective Gloves: Impervious gloves are recommended.
Eye Protection: Chemical goggles are recommended.
Other Protective Clothing or Equipment: Safety shower and emergency eyewash station should be available in
work area.
Work / Hygienic Practices: Wash thoroughly after use.
SECTION 8: HANDLING AND STORAGE
Precautions to be taken in handling and storing: Use only in a well ventilated area. Eliminate all sources of
ignition such as sparks, flames, and non-explosion proof devices. Avoid prolonged or repeated skin contact or
breathing of vapors. For industrial use only. Keep out of the reach of children. Store in tightly closed containers, in
a cool dry place, away from all sources of ignition and heat. Large containers should be grounded and
interconnected to prevent static build up during transfer operations. Empty containers of this material may be
hazardous since they may contain residual liquid, vapors, or dust.
Other Precautions: In addition to any listed precautions, you should consult your occupational safety and health
specialist to insure that the handling procedures will be adequate and in compliance with applicable laws and
regulations.
