WARNING!
Emergency Overview
Highly flammable liquid and vapor. Vapor may cause flash fire.
Contains material which causes damage to the following organs: kidneys, liver, central nervous
system, and gastrointestinal tract. Vapor may irritate eyes and respiratory track.
Keep away from heat, sparks and flame. Avoid contact with eyes.. Keep container closed. Use only
with adequate ventilation. Wash thoroughly after handling.
Absorbed through skin. Eye contact. Inhalation. Ingestion.
Routes of Entry
Potential Acute Health Effects
Eyes Causes eye irritation.
Skin Can be absorbed through skin. May cause skin irritation or dryness. Repeated or Prolonged contact
may cause dermatitis or defatting of the skin.
Inhalation May cause respiratory tract irritation. Over exposure may result in sore throat, cough, confusion,
headache, dizziness, drowsiness, and unconsciousness.
Ingestion Ingestion may result in nausea, vomiting, drowsiness or unconsciousness. Exposure far above the
OEL may result in death.
Overexposure to this material has been suggested as a cause of the following effects in laboratory

water. If symptoms persist, seek medical attention.
Inhalation Allow the victim to rest in a well ventilated area. If the victim is not breathing, perform mouth-to-mouth
resuscitation. Seek medical attention.
Do NOT induce vomiting unless directed to do so by medical personnel. Never give anything by mouth
Ingestion
to an unconscious person. Loosen tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt or waistband. Get medical
attention if symptoms appear.
Notes to Physician Preexisting disorders of the following organs (or organ systems) may be aggravated by exposure to
this material: skin, lung (for example, asthma-like conditions), blood-forming system.[Ethyl Acetate].
Eye exposure usually do not require any specific treatment if the liquid material is promptly washed out
of eyes. If exposure was prolonged, some initial corneal damage may be present. It is advisable for
these individuals to be seen by an ophthalmologist. [Acetone]

Section 7. Handling and Storage
Keep away from heat, sparks and flame. Keep container closed. Use only with adequate ventilation.
Handling
To avoid fire or explosion, dissipate static electricity during transfer by grounding and bonding
containers and equipment before transferring material. Use explosion-proof electrical (ventilating,
lighting and material handling) equipment.
Store in a segregated and approved area. Keep container in a cool, well-ventilated area. Keep
Storage
container tightly closed and sealed until ready for use. Avoid all possible sources of ignition (spark or
flame).
