UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS:
Flashback along vapor trail may occur. This material is extremely flammable and may be ignited by heat,
sparks, flame or static electricity.
SPECIAL FIREFIGHTING PROCEDURES:
The use of a SCBA is recommended for fire fighters. Water spray may be useful in minimizing vapors
and cooling containers exposed to heat and flame. Avoid spreading burning liquid with water used for
cooling purposes.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SECTION V - HEALTH HAZARD DATA
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EFFECTS OF OVER EXPOSURE:
EYE CONTACT:
This material is an eye irritant. Direct contact with the liquid or exposure to its vapors or mists may
cause burning, tearing, redness and swelling.
SKIN CONTACT:
This material may cause skin irritation. Prolonged or repeated contact may cause redness, burning, and
drying and cracking of the skin. This product may be absorbed through the skin. Contact may result in
skin absorption but symptoms of toxicity are not anticipated by this route alone under normal conditions
of use. Persons with pre-existing skin disorders may be more susceptible to the effects of this material.
INHALATION (BREATHING):
Inhalation of excessive concentrations of vapors or mists may cause: irritation of the nose and throat.
Signs of nervous system depression (E.G., drowsiness, dizziness, loss of coordination, and fatigue).
Prolonged or repeated exposure to vapors or mists may cause: liver damage, kidney damage. Persons
with impaired lung function or asthma -like conditions may experience additional breathing difficulties
due to the irritant properties of this material.
INGESTION:
While this material has a low degree of toxicity, ingestion of excessive quantities may cause irritation of
the digestive tract. Signs of nervous system depression (E.G., drowsiness, dizziness, loss of coordination,
and fatigue). Aspiration Hazard - this material can enter lungs during swallowing or vomiting and cause
lung inflammation and damage.
MEDICAL CONDITIONS PRONE TO AGGRAVATION BY EXPOSURE:
Preexisting eye, skin, and respiratory disorders, or preexisting impaired peripheral nerve function may be
aggravated by exposure to this product.
PRIMARY ROUTE(S) OF ENTRY: X DERMAL X INHALATION
INGESTION EYE(S)
EMERGENCY AND FIRST AID PROCEDURES:
EYE CONTACT:
Move victim away from exposure to vapors and into fresh air. If irritation or redness develops, seek
medical attention. For direct contact, hold eyelids apart and flush the affected eye(s) with clean water for
at least 15 minutes. Seek medical attention.
SKIN CONTACT:
Remove contaminated clothing. Cleanse affected area(s) thoroughly by washing with mild soap and
water. If irritation or redness develops and persists, seek medical attention.
INHALATION (BREATHING):
If respiratory symptoms or other symptoms of exposure develop, move victim away from source of
exposure and into fresh air. If respiratory symptoms or other symptoms of exposure develop, seek
medical attention. If victim is not breathing, artificial respiration should be administered. If breathing
difficulties develop, oxygen should be administered by qualified personnel. Seek medical attention.
INGESTION (SWALLOWING):
Aspiration Hazard - DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING or give anything by mouth because this material
can enter the lungs and cause severe lung damage. If victim is drowsy or unconscious, place on the left
side with head down. If possible, do not leave victim unattended. Seek medical attention.
* Note to physician:
Epinephrine and other sympathomimetic drugs may potentiate cardiac arrhythmias in persons
exposed to this chemical. These drugs should be administered cautiously, if at all, and only
with cardiac monitoring.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SECTION VII - SPILL OR LEAK PROCEDURES
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
STEPS TO BE TAKEN IN CASE MATERIAL IS RELEASED OR SPILLED:
Shut off and eliminate all ignition sources. Keep people away. Recover free product. Add sand, earth or
other suitable absorbent to spill area. Minimize breathing vapors. Minimize skin contact. Ventilate
confined spaces. Open all windows and doors. Keep product out of sewers and watercourses by diking or
impounding. Advise authorities if product has entered or may enter sewers, watercourses, or extensive
land areas. Assure conformity with applicable governmental regulations. Continue to observe
precautions for volatile, flammable vapors from absorbed material.
WASTE DISPOSAL METHOD:
Dispose of in accordance with local, state and federal regulations.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SECTION VIII - SAFE HANDLING AND USE INFORMATION
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION:
Avoid prolonged or repeated breathing of vapors. If exposure may or does exceed occupational exposure
limits use a NIOSH approved respirator to prevent overexposure.
VENTILATION:
If current ventilation practices are not adequate to maintain airborne concentrations below the established
exposure limits (see Section II), additional ventilation or exhaust systems may be required. Where
explosive mixtures may be present, systems safe for such locations should be used.
PROTECTIVE GLOVES:
The use of gloves impermeable to the specific material handled is advised to prevent skin contact,
possible irritation and absorption.
EYE PROTECTION:
Approved eye protection to safeguard against potential eye contact, irritation or injury is recommended.
OTHER PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT:
It is suggested that a source of clean water be available in work area for flushing eyes and skin.
Impervious clothing should be worn as needed.
HYGIENIC PRACTICES:
Wash with soap and water.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SECTION IX - SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN IN HANDLING AND STORING:
Keep containers tightly closed. Keep containers cool, dry and away from sources of ignition. Use and
store this product with adequate ventilation. Avoid inhalation of vapors and personal contact with the
product. Use good personal hygiene practice. "Empty" containers retain residue (liquid and/or vapor)
and can be dangerous. Do not pressurize, cut, weld, braze, solder, drill, grind or expose such containers
to heat, flame, sparks or other sources of ignition; they may explode and cause injury or death. "Empty"
containers should be completely drained, properly bunged and promptly shipped to the supplier or a drum
reconditioner. All other containers should be disposed of in an environmentally safe manner and in
accordance with governmental regulations.
