Potential Health Effects
Primary Entry Routes: Eye contact, ingestion, inhalation, skin absorption, skin contact.
Target Organs: Kidney and liver.
Acute Effects
Inhalation: May cause nose and/or throat irritation on short-term exposure to vapor. Aspiration into lungs can cause chemical
pneumonitis, which can be fatal. Overexposure may result in headache, dizziness, fatigue, nausea and loss of consciousness.
Eye: May cause eye irritation on short-term exposure to liquid or vapor.
Skin: May cause skin irritation on short-term exposure to liquid or vapor. Solvents may be absorbed through the skin in toxic
amounts.
Ingestion: May cause irritation of gastrointestinal tract.
Carcinogenicity: IARC, NTP, and OSHA do not list this product as a carcinogen.
Medical Conditions Aggravated by Long-Term Exposure: May cause more significant skin irritation in people with pre-
existing skin conditions. Respiratory symptoms associated with pre-existing lung disorders and pre-existing heart disorders
may be aggravated by exposure to this material.
Chronic Effects: Chronic exposure may cause reversible kidney and liver injury. Reports have associated repeated and
prolonged occupational overexposure to solvents with permanent brain and nervous system damage. Repeated exposure to
Toluene has been associated with high frequency hearing loss based on animal tests.
Section 4 - First Aid Measures
Inhalation: Remove victim to fresh air and provide oxygen if breathing is difficult. Give artificial respiration if not breathing.
Get medical attention immediately.
Eye Contact: Immediately flush eyes with running water for at least 15 minutes. Get medical attention.
Skin Contact: Immediately flush skin with running water and remove contaminated clothing. Wash exposed area with soap and
water. Get medical attention.
Ingestion: DO NOT induce vomiting. Get medical attention immediately.

Flammability Classification: Ignition can occur when this product is exposed to heat, Division 2 sparks, or flame.
Extinguishing Media: In case of fire, use dry chemical, carbon dioxide, or foam. Water may not be effective as an
extinguishing agent. Water fog or spray may be used to provide a smothering effect on fire and to cool fire-exposed containers
and surrounding combustibles. Do not use a solid stream of water because it can scatter and spread the fire.
Unusual Fire or Explosion Hazards: Extremely flammable. Store and use away from all sources of heat, flame, or sparks. Do
not smoke while applying. Vapors are heavier than air and may travel along ground or may be moved by ventilation and
ignited by pilot lights, other flames, sparks, heaters, smoking, electrical motors, static discharge, or other ignition sources at
locations distant from material handling point and flash back. All containers should be grounded when material is transferred.
Hazardous Combustion Products: Toxic gases or vapors, such as carbon monoxide or carbon dioxide, may be released in a
fire.
Fire-Fighting Instructions: This product contains solvents that are dangerous fire and explosion hazards when exposed to heat
or flame.
Fire-Fighting Equipment: Because fire may produce toxic thermal decomposition products, wear a self-contained breathing
apparatus (SCBA) and full protective clothing along with a full face piece operated in pressure-demand or positive-pressure
mode.
Section 6 - Accidental Release Measures
Personal Precautions: Use personal protection recommended in Section 8.
Spill /Leak Procedures: Remove all sources of ignition. Avoid breathing vapors. Use self-contained breathing apparatus in
enclosed area. Ventilate area. Contain and remove with inert absorbent materials and non-sparking tools. For large spills, dike
far ahead of liquid spill for later disposal. Do not release into sewers or waterways.
Regulatory Requirements: Follow applicable OSHA regulations (29 CFR 1910.120).
Section 7 - Handling and Storage
Handling Precautions: Use away from all sources of heat, flame, or sparks. Do not smoke while using. Handling equipment
must be grounded to prevent sparking. Handle with non-sparking tools. Wash with soap and water before eating or drinking.
Launder contaminated clothing. KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.
Storage Requirements: Keep containers cool, dry, and store away from all sources of heat, flame, and sparks. Keep containers
tightly closed and store with adequate ventilation. Do not pressurize, cut, weld, or grind the containers or empty containers,
which may contain residual product and solvent vapors that may ignite explosively.
Section 8 - Exposure Controls / Personal Protection
Engineering Controls: Do not use in enclosed areas without proper explosion-proof ventilation. General and local exhaust
ventilation must be sufficient to control vapor concentrations and keep the vapor concentration below 100 ppm.
Ventilation: Provide general or local exhaust ventilation systems to maintain airborne concentrations below OSHA PELs
(Sec. 2). Local exhaust ventilation is preferred because it prevents contaminant dispersion into the work area by controlling it at
its source.
Respiratory Protection: A NIOSH approved respirator must be used if vapor concentration is 100 ppm or above.
Protective Clothing/Equipment: Hycron7, Neoprene, Nitrile, or equivalent solvent permeation resistant gloves required.
Protective glasses or goggles recommended. Industrial boots to protect feet from cleaner contact. Impervious clothing is
recommended to protect skin from cleaner contact. Protective skin creams or emollients useful.
Safety Stations: Make emergency eyewash stations, safety/quick-drench showers, and washing facilities available in work area.
Contaminated Equipment: Separate contaminated work clothes from street clothes. Launder before reuse. Remove this
material from your shoes and clean personal protective equipment.
Comments: Never eat, drink, or smoke in work areas. Practice good personal hygiene after using this material, especially before
eating, drinking, smoking, using the toilet, or applying cosmetics.
