P/N 49429
Fire Fighting Procedures : Wear self-contained breathing apparatus with
a full-face piece operated in the positive pressure
demand mode when fighting fire. Water may not
be effective for fighting fires. Water may not be
used to keep fire-exposed containers cool until
fire is out.
Special Fire & Explosion Hazards : Never use welding or cutting torch on or near
drum (even empty) because product (even just
residue) can ignite explosively. All five-gallon
pails and larger metal containers should be
grounded and/or bonded when material is trans-
ferred. Material is highly volatile and readily
gives off vapors which may travel along the
ground or be moved by ventilation and ignited
by pilot lights, other flames, sparks, heaters,
smoking, electric motors, static discharge, or
other ignition sources at locations distant from
material handling point.
WARNING!! - Sudden release of hot organic chemical vapors or mist from process
equipment operated at elevated temperature and pressure or sudden ingress of air into
vacuum equipment may result in ignition without the presence of obvious ignition sources.
Published "auto ignition" or "ignition" temperature values cannot be treated as safe
operation temperatures in chemical processes without analysis of the actual process
conditions. Any use of this product at elevated temperature processes should be thoroughly
evaluated to establish and maintain safe operation conditions.
Hydrocarbon solvents are basically non-conductors of electricity and can become electro
statically charged during mixing, filtering, or pumping at high flow rates. If this charge
reaches a significantly high level, sparks can form that may ignite vapors of flammable
liquids.
SECTION V ?HEALTH HAZARDS
OVERVIEW
Flammable liquid, solvent odor, irritating to eyes, skin, and respiratory tract. Overexposure may
cause Central Nervous System effects.
Route(s) of entry : Inhalation, skin contact, ingestion.
Eyes : Exposure to liquid or vapor may cause mild
eye irritation. Symptoms may include burning,
tearing, redness, stinging, blurred vision and
corneal injury.
Skin : Exposure may cause mild skin irritation. Pro-
longed or repeated exposure may dry the skin.
Symptoms may include redness, burning, drying,
cracking and skin burns. Pre-existing skin dis-
orders may be aggravated by exposure to this
material. Skin absorption is possible, but harm-
ful effects are not expected from this route of ex-
posure under normal conditions of handling and

Breathing : Symptoms are typically seen at air concentra-
tions exceeding the recommended exposure lim-
its. Symptoms of exposure may include:
? Nasal and respiratory irritation (nose, throat, and lung) pre-existing lung disorder, e.g.
asthma-like conditions may be aggravated by exposure to this material.
? Central Nervous System (CNS) Depression/Effect (dizziness, drowsiness, weakness, fatigue,
nausea, headache, possible unconsciousness, coma, and even death).
? Cardiac arrhythmias (irregular heartbeat)
? Cough
Swallowing : This material can enter the lungs during swal-
lowing or vomiting and cause lung inflammation
and/or damage. Aspiration of material into the
lungs can cause chemical pneumonia, which can
be fatal. Symptoms of exposure may include:
1. Throat irritation.
2. Gastrointestinal irritation (nausea, vomiting, diarrhea)
3. Central Nervous System (CNS) Depression/Effect (dizziness, drowsiness, weakness, fatigue,
nausea, headache, possible unconsciousness, coma, and even death).
4. High blood sugar.
FIRST AID:
Eye : If symptoms develop, move individual away
from exposure and into fresh air. Flush eyes with
water for at least 15 minutes while holding eye-
lids apart. If symptoms persist, seek medical
attention.
Skin : Remove contaminated clothing. Flush ex-
posed area with large amounts of water. If skin
is damaged, apply a clean dressing and seek
immediate medical attention. If skin is not dam-
aged, wash exposed area with soap and water.
If symptoms persist, seek medial attention. Laun-
der clothing before reuse.
Breathed : If symptoms develop, immediately move indi-
vidual away from exposure and into fresh air.
Seek immediate medical attention. Keep person
warm and quiet. If person is not breathing, begin
artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, ad-
minister oxygen.
Swallowed : DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING! This ma-
terial is an aspiration hazard. If individual is
drowsy or unconscious, place on left side with
head down. Seek medical attention. If possible,
do not leave individual unattended. Aspiration of
material into the lungs can cause chemical pneu-
monia, which can be fatal.

Effects of Chronic Overexposure : Some reports have associated repeated and
prolonged exposure to solvents with permanent
brain damage and nervous system damage
(sometimes referred to as "Solvent " or "Painter's
Syndrome") symptoms reported included fatigue
concentration difficulties, anxiety, depression,
rapid mood swings, and short-term memory loss.
These reports are not clear with regards to the
type of solvents that cause these symptoms.
There also is controversy among scientists as to
whether the condition exists or is caused by this
type of product. Since many diseases cause
some or all of these symptoms, a doctor should
be consulted if any symptoms appear.
