Section IV - Firefighting Measures
Flash Point (Method Used) <70癋 (Tag Closed Cup)
Autoignition Temperature Not established
Explosive Limits Not established
Extinguishing Media Alcohol foam, CO2, Dry Chemical, Water Fog
Special Firefighting Procedures Water spray may be ineffective, but water spray must be used to cool con-
tainers exposed to heat or fire to prevent pressure build-up.
Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazard Closed containers may explode due to the pressure build-up from extreme
heat or fire. Aerosol spray is extremely flammable.
Combustion Products Carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, trace amounts of hydrocarbon flouride.
Firefighting Equipment Self-contained breathing apparatus should be used if product is involved in
fire.
Hazard Ratings
NFPA Rating (based on Standard 704) (4 = Extreme, 3 = High, 2 = Moderate, 1 = Slight, 0 = Insignificant)
Health 2
Flammability 3
Reactivity 0
Section V - Stability & Reactivity
Stability Stable XX Unstable
Incompatibilities Avoid contact with strong oxidizers.
Conditions to Avoid Heat, sparks and flame.
Hazardous Decomposition Will Not Occur
Hazardous Polymerization Will Not Occur
Section VI - Health Hazard Data
Signs and Symptoms of Exposure
Eye Contact Non-irritating to practically non-irritating.
Skin Contact Slight to moderate irritation. Prolonged or repeated exposure can result in defatting and drying
of the skin which may result in skin irritation and dermatitis.
Ingestion May result in vomiting.
Inhalation High vapor concentrations may result in Central Nervous System (CNS) depression. Aspiration
into lungs must be avoided as even small quantities may result in aspiration pneumonitis.
Carcinogenity NTP? No IARC Monograph? No OSHA Regulated? No
Emergency First Aid Procedures
Eyes Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while holding eyelids open.
Skin Remove clothing and shoes and wipe excess from skin. Flush skin with water. Follow by wash-
ing skin with soap and water. Do not reuse clothes until cleaned.
Ingestion DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. If vomiting occurs spontaneously, keep head below hips to
prevent aspiration of liquid into lungs.
Inhalation Remove victim to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult,
oxygen should be administered by a qualified person.
GET MEDICAL ATTENTION AS NECESSARY.
Section VII - Precautions for Safe Handling and Storage
Storage Requirements Do not store above 120癋 (49癈). Do not store or use near heat, sparks or flame.
KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.
Section VIII - Special Precautions
Small Spill Remove all sources of ignition - flames, sparks, static electricity and electrical. Ventilate area.
Large Spill Remove all sources of ignition - flames, sparks, static electricity and electrical. Ventilate area.
Avoid material running into sewers or streams by diking, and soak up with inert absorbent
using non-sparking tools.
Toxilogical Laboratory studies have shown that petroleum distillates may cause kidney, liver or lung
Information damage. Reports have associated repeated and prolonged overexposure to solvents with per-
manent brain and nervous system damage.
Ecological Avoid uncontrolled releases of this material. Where spills are possible, a comprehensive spill
Information response plan should be developed and implemented.
Disposal Con- Dispose of unused or empty containers in accordance with local, state and federal regulations.
siderations Empty containers may still contain product residues.
Section IX - Exposure Controls / Personal Protection
Engineering Controls Recommend an approved mechanical particulate filter to remove any airborne overspray.
In restricted areas with poor ventilation, use a NIOSH-approved Organic Cartridge Res-
pirator. For concentrations above the PEL, use a positive air-supplied respirator.
Eye Protection Use chemical safety goggles and/or a full face shield where splashing is possible. Contact lenses
should not be worn.
Skin Protection Test data indicates the best protection is provided by neoprene, nitrile and natural rubber gloves.
Ventilation ALL APPLICATION AREAS SHOULD BE ADEQUATELY VENTILATED IN ORDER TO
KEEP THE ITEMS IN SECTION 2 BELOW THEIR EXPOSURE LIMITS.
Respiration In restricted areas with poor ventilation, use a NIOSH-approved Organic Cartridge Respirator.
