SECTION 3 ?HAZARD IDENTIFICATION
Emergency Overview: Various color liquid (clear, gray, blue) with ether-like odor. Extremely flammable liquid and vapors. May cause irritation to skin,
eye, respiratory tract and other mucous membranes.
Potential Health Effects: Routes of exposure inlcude; inhalation, skin absorption, skin contact, eye contact and ingestion.
Eyes: Can cause irritation and permanent eye injury. Symptoms include stinging, tearing, redness and swelling of eyes.
Skin: May cause mild skin irritation. Prolonged or repeated contact may dry the skin and cause dermatitis. Symptoms may include redness, burning, drying
and cracking of skin, and skin burns.
Ingestion: If ingestion occurs seek medical attention immediately. May cause irritation of nose, throat and can lead to liver and kidney damage. May be
fatal if swallowed.
Inhalation: May cause irritation to the nose, throat, mucous membranes and other tissues of the respiratory system. Symptoms include dizziness,
drowsiness, fatigue, headache, nausea, coughing and shortness of breath. Overexposure may cause liver and kidney damage.
HEALTH HAZARDS: Acute: Over exposure to this product can be irritating to the eyes, skin and mucous membranes, and can also cause central-nervous
system effects (dizziness, nausea and headaches). Ingestion of this product, or inhalation of high concentrations of this product's vapors, may be fatal.
Chronic: Prolonged or repeated skin exposures can lead to dermatitis. May cause conjunctivitis with prolonged or repeated eye exposure. May cause liver,
kidney and reproductive damage.
Medical Conditions Aggravated be Exposure: Pre-existing disorders of the following organs may be aggravated by exposure to this material: skin, lung,
liver, kidney.
SECTION 4 ?FIRST AID MEASURES
Eyes: Immediately move individual away from exposure into fresh air. Flush eye gently with water for at least 15 minutes while holding eyelids apart. Seek
immediate medical attention.
Skin: Remove contaminated clothing. Wash exposed area with soap and water. If symptoms persist, seek medical attention. Launder clothing before reuse.
Ingestion: Seek medical attention. If individual is drowsy or unconscious, do not give anything by mouth; place individual on the left side with the head
down. Contact a physician, medical facility, or poison control center. Do not induce vomiting.
Inhalation: Move individual away from exposure and into fresh air. If symptoms persist, seek medical attention. If breathing is difficult, administer
oxygen; seek medical attention immediately.
SECTION 5 ?FIREFIGHTING MEASURES
Flash Point: -4癋 / -20癈
Explosive limits: Upper (UEL)- 12.8%
Lower (LEL)- 1.8%
Arrow PVC Cement Page 2 of 4
Fire Extinguishing Media: Use foam, carbon dioxide (CO2), dry chemical.
Special Fire Fighting Procedures: Incipient fire responders should wear eye protection. Firefighters must wear self-contained breathing apparatus and full
protective equipment.
Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: Class IB Flammable Liquid. Keep away from sources of heat, sparks or flame. If ignited, may form carbon dioxide
and carbon monoxide, various hydrocarbon vapors and toxic gases. Material is volatile and readily gives off vapors which may travel along the ground or be
moved by ventilation and ignited by pilot lights, flames, sparks, heaters, smoking, electric motors, static discharge or other ignition sources at locations near
the material handling point.
SECTION 6 ?ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Spill or Leak: Eliminate all ignition sources (flares, flames including pilot lights electrical sparks). Persons not wearing protective equipment should be
excluded from area of spill until clean-up has been completed. Stop spill at source. Prevent from entering drains, sewers, streams or other bodies of water.
Prevent from spreading. If runoff occurs, notify authorities as required. Pump or vacuum transfer spilled product to clean metal containers for recovery.
Absorb unrecoverable product. Transfer contaminated absorbent, soil and other materials to containers for disposal in accordance with U.S. Federal, State, or
local procedures.
SECTION 7 ?HANDLING AND STORAGE
Handling and Storage Precautions : Keep container closed and upright when not in use. Do not store near heat, sparks, or open flames. If transferring this
material to other containers, ground all containers to avoid static electricity buildup and discharge which may ignite flammable vapors.
Other Precautions: Containers of this material may be hazardous when emptied. Since emptied containers retain product residues (vapor, liquid, solid) all
hazard precautions given in the data sheet must be observed. Avoid prolonged or repeated contact with skin or clothing.
SECTION 8 ?EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
Respiratory Protection: In confined or poorly ventilated areas, use NIOSH/MSHA approved air respirators. Use only protection authorized in 29 CFR
1910.134 or applicable State regulations.
Eye Protection: Splash goggles or safety glasses.
Hand Protection: Wear rubber gloves
Other Protection: Wear protective clothing appropriate for task (coveralls, apron, Tyvek suit)
Specific Engineering Controls (such as ventilation, enclosed process): Use in well ventilated area. Provide ventilation capable of maintaining emissions
at the point of use below recommended exposure limits. Mechanical exhaust (explosion proof) may be required. Emergency eye-wash / safety showers are
needed where there is the possibility that an employee's eyes may be exposed to this material, the employer should provide an eye-wash fountain / safety
shower within the work area for emergency use.

Arrow PVC Cement Page 3 of 4
Suspected Cancer Agent: None of the components of this product are listed as an IARC, NTP or OSHA carcinogen. Tetrahydrofuran ?The National
Toxicology Program has reported that exposures of mice and rats to THF vapor levels up to 1800 ppm 6 hr/day, 5 days/week for their lifetime caused an
incidence of kidney tumors in male rats and liver tumors in female mice. The significance of these findings for human health are unclear at this time, and
may be related to "species specific" effects. Elevated incidences of tumors in humans have not been reported for THF. ACGIH has classified
Cyclohexanone and Tetrahydrofuran as "A3", Confirmed Animal Carcinogens with Unknown Relevance to Humans.
Reproductive Toxicity: This product is not reported to produce reproductive effects in humans. Reproductive toxicity data is available for Acetone, Methyl
Ethyl Ketone, Cyclohexanone and Tetrahydrofuran; obtained through clinical studies on test animals exposed to relatively high doses.
Mutagenicity: This product is not reported to produce mutagenic effects in humans. Human mutation data is available for Cyclohexanone; obtained through
clinical studies on specific human tissues exposed to relatively high doses. Animal mutation data is available for Acetone, Methyl Ethyl Ketone and
Tetrahydrofuran; obtained through clinical studies on specific animal tissues or micro-organisms exposed to relatively high doses.
