Special Fire Fighting Procedures:

Wear protective equipment including NIOSH approved self-contained breathing apparatus. Isolate from heat, sparks, electrical

equipment and open flame.



Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards:

During a fire vapors may form an explosive mixture in air. Closed containers may explode when exposed to extreme heat. Solvent vapors

may be heavier than air. Vapors may build up and travel along the ground to an ignition source which may result in a flash back to the

source of the vapors. Cool fire exposed containers with water. Heavy build up on filters, rags, etc. Can trap solvents and result in

spontaneous combustion.

SECTION 5: HEALTH HAZARD DATA                                                                         400W #1102

Routes of Entry: Inhalation, Skin Contact, Eye Contact from Liquid and vapors, Ingestion.

Effects of Overexposure:

Inhalation - ACUTE: Irritation of the nose, throat and eyes. Asthma-like breathing may be a delayed reaction. Other possible

symptoms of overexposure may include headache, nausea, narcosis, fatigue and loss of appetite.

Inhalation - CHRONIC: Chronic exposure to solvents has been associated with various neurotoxic effects including permanent brain

and nervous system damage. Symptoms include loss of memory, loss of intellectual ability and loss of coordination.

Eye Contact: Liquid and vapors are irritating to the eyes and can cause pain, tearing, reddening and swelling. If left untreated, corneal

damage can occur and injury is slow to heal. However damage is usually reversible.

Skin Contact: Repeated or prolonged skin contact can result in dry, defatted and cracked skin causing increased susceptibility to

infection.

Ingestion: Can result in irritation in the mouth, stomach tissue and digestive tract. Symptoms can include sore throat, abdominal pain,

nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. Vomiting may cause aspiration resulting in chemical pneumonitis.

MEDICAL CONDITIONS AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE: Asthma, other respiratory disorders (bronchitis, etc.), skin allergies,

eczema.

EMERGENCY AND FIRST AID PROCEDURES:

Eyes: Flush eyes with clean water for at least 15 minutes. Obtain medical attention.

Skin: Remove contaminated clothing immediately. Wash affected areas thoroughly with soap and water. Obtain medical attention if

irritation develops or persists.

Inhalation: Remove from exposure. Administer oxygen or artificial respiration as needed. Obtain medical attention.

Ingestion: DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. Give 1-2 glasses of water to dilute. Consult a physician immediately.



SECTION: 6: REACTIVITY DATA

Stability: This material is stable.     Materials to avoid: Strong Oxidizing agents

Hazardous Polymerization: Will not occur.

Decomposition Products: By high heat and fire: CO2, CO and other toxic vapors and mist.



SECTION 7: SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS AND SPILL/LEAK PROCEDURES

Precautions to be taken on handling and storage: Keep from fire, sparks and open flame. Do not smoke. Keep container tightly closed.

Wash thoroughly after handling.

Other precautions: Remove sources of ignition. Provide explosion proof ventilation and/or respiratory protection. Use non-sparking

tools.

Steps to be taken in case of spills: Large spills may be picked up with nonsparking tools; small spills with absorbent material. Wash

down area with liquid decontaminant and flush spill area with water.

Waste Disposal Method: If discarded this material and containers should be treated as a hazardous waste, based on the

characteristics of ignitability as defined under Federal RCRA Regulations (40 CFR 261). Dispose of in accordance with local, state, and

federal regulations. DO NOT INCINERSATE IN CLOSED CONTAINERS.

For further information, contact the United States Environmental Protection Agency RCRA hotline

(800) 242-9342



SECTION 8: SPECIAL PROTECTION/SAFE HANDLING INFORMATION

Special Sensitivity: If the container is exposed to high heat, it can be pressurized and possibly rupture. This can cause sealed

containers to expand and possibly rupture.

Handling and Storage: Keep away from heat, sparks and open flame. Ground container during storage and transfer operations. Store in

tightly closed containers to prevent moisture contamination. Do not reseal if contamination is suspected. Do not breath vapors.

Employee education and training in safe handling of this product are required under OSHA Hazard Communication Standard.

Respiratory Protection: Use air-purifying respirator that the respirator supplier has demonstrated to be effective for solvent vapors.

Where overspray is present, or if the concentration of solvents is not known or exceeds the level at which the air purifying respirator is

effective, a positive pressure air-supplied respirator (TC19C NIOSH/MSHA) is recommended.

Ventilation: Designed and maintained to provide volume and pattern to prevent vapor concentration in excess of TLV or PEL

Protective Gloves: Neoprene, or Rubber gloves                           Eye Protection: Goggles or side-shield glasses



NOTE: Read MSDS completely before use and follow all label instructions.
