SCHEDULE B NUMBER: 3208.20.0000
SECTION 2 ?Hazard Identification
OVEREXPOSURE EFFECTS:
ACUTE EFFECTS:
EYES: Contact with eyes can cause severe irritation, causes eye burns. If not removed promptly, will injure
eye tissue which may become permanent. Corrosive to eyes.
SKIN: Contact with skin can cause severe irritation, (minor itching, burning and/or redness), dermatitis,
defatting may be readily absorbed through the skin. Causes skin burns. Corrosive to skin.
INHALATION: Inhalation of vapors can cause nasal and respiratory irritation, dizziness, weakness, fatigue,
nausea, headache, possible unconsciousness, and/or asphyxiation. Excessive exposure may cause
carboxyhemaglobinemia, therefore impairing the blood's ability to transport oxygen. Prolonged exposure to
high concentrations can cause neurological depression and EEG abnormalities.
INGESTION: Ingestion can cause gastrointestinal irritation, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea. Aspiration of
material into lungs may result in chemical pneumonitis which can be fatal. Poison, may be fatal or cause
blindness if swallowed. May cause damage to mouth, throat, and digestive tract.
PRIMARY ROUTES OF EXPOSURE: Inhalation, skin, eyes, ingestion
SECTION 3 ?Composition, Information or Ingredients
INGREDIENTS WGT% CAS #
Methylene Chloride 85-95% 75-09-2
Aromatic Hydrocarbon 5-15% 64742-95-6
Methanol 1-5% 67-56-1
Ethanol 1-5% 64-17-5
Phosphate Ester 1-5% Proprietary
2-aminoethanol 1-5% 141-43-5
SECTION 4 ?First Aid Measures
INHALATION: If inhaled, remove victim from exposure to a well-ventilated area. Make them comfortably
warm, but not hot. Use oxygen or artificial respiration as required. Consult a physician.
SKIN: For skin contact, wash promptly with soap and excess water.
EYES: For eye contact, flush promptly with excess water for at least fifteen minutes. Remove contacts if
worn. Consult a physician.

MSDS
INGESTION: If ingested, do not induce vomiting. Do not give liquids. Call a physician immediately.
SECTION 5 ?Fire-Fighting Measures
FIRE EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Carbon Dioxide, Dry Chemical, Foam, Water Fog
SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES: Fight like a fuel oil fire. Cool fire exposed containers with
water spray. Firefighter should wear OSHA/NIOSH approved self-contained breathing apparatus and full
protective gear.
UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD: Closed containers exposed to high temperatures, such as
fire conditions may rupture. Water run-off can cause environmental damage. Dike and collect water used to
fight fire if possible.
SECTION 6 ?Accidental Release Measures
SPILLS, LEAK OR RELEASE: Ventilate area. Remove all possible sources of ignition. Avoid prolonged
breathing of vapor. Contain spill with inert absorbent. Be careful to avoid skin and eye contact of
contaminated clean-up materials.
SECTION 7 ?Handling and Storage
STORAGE AND HANDLING: Use with adequate ventilation. Harmful or fatal if swallowed. Avoid contact
with eyes and skin. Avoid breathing vapors. Do not store the product above 100癋/38癈. Do not flame, cut,
braze weld or melt empty containers. Keep the product away from heat, open flame, and other sources of
ignition. Avoid contact with strong acids, alkalis, and oxidizers. Protect from direct sunlight as container will
pressurize from heat exposure. Keep container closed when not in use.
SECTION 8 ?Exposure Controls and Personal Protection
INGREDIENTS CAS # TLV/PEL
Methylene Chloride 75-09-2 Consult OSHA Standards
Methanol 67-56-1 TLV/PEL 200 ppm, STEL 250 ppm
Ethanol 64-17-5 TLV/PEL 1000 ppm
Phosphate Ester Proprietary Suggested TLV 1 mg/m3
2-Aminoethanol 141-43-5 TLV/PEL 3 ppm, STEL 6 ppm
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: If component exposure limits are exceeded, use NIOSH/MSHA approved
air purifying or fresh air supplied respirator to remove vapors. Use an air-supplied respirator if necessary.
VENTILATION: Use adequate ventilation in volume and pattern to keep TLV/PEL below recommended
levels. Explosion-proof ventilation may be necessary.
PROTECTIVE GLOVES: To prevent prolonged exposure use rubber gloves; solvents may be absorbed
through the skin.
EYE PROTECTION: Goggles with splash guards recommended or face shield.
OTHER PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT: Wear protective clothing as required to prevent skin contact: apron,
sleeves, suit, boots. Eyewash and Safety Shower should be in close proximity.
