3. HAZARDOUS IDENTIFICATION
Emergency Overview: WARNING! This product is COMBUSTIBLE. Harmful if inhaled or
absorbed through the skin. May be harmful or fatal if ingested.
Eye Contact: May cause tearing, stinging, redness, irritation, and burns.
Inhalation: Irritating to respiratory tract. Prolonged or repeated breathing of very high vapor
concentrations may cause euphoria, excitation, dizziness, headaches, nausea, and vomiting,
abdominal pain, fatigue, muscular weakness. Aspiration into the lungs can cause CNS (centra
l nervous system) and subsequent aspiration into the lungs can cause pulmonary edema and
chemical pneumonia depression. Chronic overexposure in high concentrations may produce
CNS depression.
Ingestion: Irritation of the mouth, esophagus, and stomach can develop following ingestion.
Symptoms include burning of the mouth, sore throat, vomiting, nausea, dizziness, loss of
consciousness. Due to its light viscosity, there is danger of aspiration into the lungs during
vomiting. Aspiration can result in severe lung damage or death.
Skin Contact: Prolonged or repeated skin contact may cause moderate to severe irritation
including itching and redness of the skin, defatting, and/or dermatitis. This product can also be
absorbed through the skin and produce CNS symptoms. Single prolonged exposure is not likely
to result in the product being absorbed through the skin in harmful amounts.
Signs And Symptoms Of Exposure: Eye irritation, respiratory irritation, drying and cracking of skin,
dizziness, fatigue, headache, unconsciousness or asphyxiation. Chronic effects of ingestion
and subsequent aspiration into the lungs can cause pneumatocele (lung cavity) formation and
chronic lung dysfunction. Repeated breathing of vapors can cause effects to liver and kidneys.

4. FIRST AID MEASURES
Eye Contact: Immediately flush eyes with water for at least 15 minutes. Get immediate medical
attention.
Inhalation: If breathing difficulties, dizziness, or light-headedness occur when working in areas
with high vapor concentrations, victim should seek fresh air. Inhalation overexposure can
produce toxic effects. If not breathing, begin CPR. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get
medical attention immediately.
Ingestion: If swallowed, DO NOT induce vomiting. This material presents a significant
aspiration/chemical pneumonitis hazard. If spontaneous vomiting is about to occur, place
victim's head below knees. Call a physician or poison control center.
Skin Contact: Wash skin with soap and water. Wash contaminated clothing before re-use. Get
medical attention if irritation or allergic reaction develops.
Aggravated Medical Conditions: Personnel with pre-existing central nervous system (CNS)
disease, neurological conditions, skin or blood disorders, chronic respiratory diseases, or
impaired liver or kidney function, and women intending to conceive should avoid exposure.
Allergies, chronic asthma may be exacerbated by fumes from this product.
Supplemental Health Information: This product does not contain any components at concentrations
at or above 0.1% which are considered carcinogenic by IARC, NTP, or OSHA.
5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Flash Point: 104篎 Flash Point Method: T.C.C. Auto ignition: N.E.
LEL: 1.0 UEL: 6.5
For large fires use foam, water fog, or water spray. Water fog and spray are effective in cooling
containers and adjacent structures but might cause frothing and/or not achieve extinguishment.
A water jet may be used to cool the container's external walls to prevent pressure build-up, auto
ignition or explosion. NEVER use a water jet directly on the fire. Product will float and can be
re-ignited on surface of water.
Special Fire-Fighting Procedures: Combustible liquid. When entering confined space, wear
positive pressure NIOSH-approved SCNA, full bunker gear (helmet with face shield, bunker
coats, gloves and rubber boots). Use water spray to cool containers, to prevent weakening of
container structure or buildup of vapor pressure which could result in container rupture. Fight
the fire from the maximum distance or use unmanned hose holders or monitor nozzles.
Unusual Fire And Explosion Hazards: Treat as a petroleum fire. Vapors are heavier than air and
may travel along the ground. Prevent generation of mists. When mixed with air in certain
proportions and exposed to an ignition source, its vapor can cause a flash fire. If container is
not properly cooled, it can rupture in the heat.
Combustion Products: Above 38篊 explosive vapor/air mixtures may be formed. This material
releases vapors at or approaching its flash point temperature. Carbon oxides and nitrogen
oxides.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Steps To Be Taken In Case Material Is Spilled Or Released: Ventilation. Combustible material.
Evacuate all non-essential personnel from the immediate area. Eliminate potential sources of ignition.
Vapor-suppressing foam may be used to reduce vapors. Wear appropriate respirator and other fire-
protective clothing. (Extra personal protection: filter respirator for organic vapors of low boiling
compounds.) Do not walk through spilled material. Contain the spill. Remove with non-sparking
equipment or soak up residue with an absorbent such as clay, sand, or other inert material. Place in
Date: 9/14/07 Easy 230 2/5
MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET
non-leaking containers and seal tightly for proper disposal. Flush area with water to remove trace
residue and dispose of flush solution as above. Do not wash into sewers.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Precautions To Be Taken In Handling And Storage: Use only with adequate ventilation. Keep
containers closed and do not handle or store near heat, sparks, or any other potential ignition sources.
A spill or leak can cause an immediate fire/explosion hazard. Bond and ground all equipment. Store in
a cool, dry, well ventilated FIREPROOF area or separate safety cabinet. Do not store above
49篊/120篎. Do not store with incompatible materials. Keep separate from strong oxidants. Do not
store or consume food, drink, or tobacco where they may become contaminated with this material. NO
OPEN FLAMES, NO SPARKS, AND NO SMOKING. Above 38?C use a closed system, ventilation,
and explosion-proof electrical equipment.
Other Precautions: All labeled precautions must be observed when handling, storing and transporting
empty containers due to product residues. Do not reuse containers. Empty containers may contain
material residues which can ignite with explosive force. Cutting or welding of empty containers can
cause fire, explosion, or release fumes from residues. Keep containers closed and drum bungs in
place. Dispose of in a licensed facility.
8. EXPOSURE CONTROL / PERSONAL PROTECTION
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
Respiratory Protection: If used under normal operating conditions and with adequate ventilation,
respiratory protection is not required. Use an approved a positive-pressure, pressure demand,
self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) for unknown vapor concentrations. For known vapor
concentrations above the exposure guideline, use a NIOSH-approved organic vapor respirator
is adequate protection is provided.
Ventilation: Ventilation rates should match conditions of use to keep airborne concentrations of
vapor and/or mists below exposure limits.
Protective Gloves: Disposable PVC, neoprene, nitrile, and vinyl gloves which are impermeable to
the specific material is recommended.
Eye Protection: Chemical safety goggles/splash shield.
Other Protective Clothing or Equipment: Avoid skin contact. Wear appropriate equipment to
prevent probability of exposure and personal contact. It is recommended that fire-retardant
garments be worn while working with flammable and combustible liquids. If splashing or
spraying is expected, chemical-resistant protective clothing should be worn.
Work/Hygienic Practices: Use good personal hygiene when handling this product. Wash hands
after use, before smoking or using the toilet.
Engineering Controls: Provide adequate exhaust ventilation or other engineering controls to keep
airborne concentrations below exposure limits. Facilities storing or utilizing this material should
be equipped with an eyewash facility and a safety shower.
Exposure Guidelines: Avoid inhalation of vapor. Personal contact should be avoided. See Section 2.
