Emergency Overview
APPEARANCE AND ODOR: Clear liquid. Strong solvent odor.
Extremely flammable liquid and vapor. Vapor may cause flash fire. Use water spray to cool materials in or near a fire. Fire may
be difficult to extinguish. Vapors may travel, and can be ignited by a remote source.
Inhalation of vapors may cause upper respiratory irritation or central nervous system depression - remove affected individuals
to fresh air.
HMIS Ratings: Health = 3* Fire = 3 Reactivity = 0
* indicates chronic effects
Potential Health Effects
Summary
Vapors from this product may cause eye and upper respiratory irritation, dry throat and mouth, nausea, headache, dizziness,
drowsiness, and coma in extreme cases. Prolonged exposures may lead to liver and kidney injury.
Inhalation
Excessive inhalation of vapors may cause nasal and respiratory irritation and central nervous system effects including
dizziness, weakness, fatigue, nausea, headache, and possible unconsciousness.
Skin
May cause severe irritation, redness, and burns if not removed.
Absorption
Prolonged or repeated contact may cause moderate irritation, defatting, and dermatitis.
Ingestion
May cause gastrointestinal irritation, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. Aspiration of material into the lungs can cause chemical
pneumonitis, which can be fatal.

Containment Procedures
Remove all sources of ignition. Evacuate and ventilate spill area. Dam spill area with sand, earth, or other suitable absorbent.
Prevent entry of material into sewers, other water sources, or land areas. Wear full protective clothing and respiratory
protection during clean-up as required to maintain exposures below the applicable exposure limit. Shovel absorbed material
into containers in well-ventilated area.
Clean-Up Procedures
No additional information available.
Section 7 - Handling and Storage
Handling Procedures
Use protective equipment as described in Section 8 of this material safety data sheet when handling uncontained material.
Keep away from ignition sources, such as heat, sparks, pilot lights, static electricity, and open flames. Containers exposed to
elevated temperatures may develop pressure build-up and rupture.
Storage Procedures
Material should be kept cool and dry, and protected from moisture. Store in tightly closed containers to prevent contamination.
