BOILING POINT: N/D VAPOR PRESSURE (mmHg or psig @ 70癋): 110 psig
VAPOR DENSITY (AIR=1): Greater than SPECIFIC GRAVITY (H2 O=1): 0.73-0.75
SOLUBILITY IN WATER % BY WT.: approx. 50% EVAPORATION RATE (BUTYL ACETATE=1): Faster than
VOC CONTENT % BY WT.: 45 % APPEARANCE AND ODOR: Colorless liquid with aromatic/ketone-like odor
SECTION FOUR - FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD DATA
FLASH POINT:
EXTINGUISHING MEDIUM: Dry chemical, alcohol foam or CO2
SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus when fighting fires containing or
around this product. Shut off all sources of ignition, if possible. Keep exposed containers cool with water spray to prevent
rupture. Evacuate all non-trained personnel. Wear full protective clothing, including helmet. Ventilate area. Contain spill
and dike, if possible. For leaks or spills that have not ignited, water spray can be used to disperse the flammable vapor
and protect personnel attempting to stop the leak. Do not use direct stream of water because product will float and can be
re-ignited on surface of water.
UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS: Firefighters should wear SCBA'S in a positive pressure mode with full
face shield. Vapors are heavier than air and may travel long distances and accumulate in low areas or spread along
ground away from handling site. Eliminate all sources of ignition as vapor may ignite. Carbon oxides may be formed.
SECTION FIVE - REACTIVITY DATA
STABILITY: Stable, avoid open flames and high temperature (above 120癋) and direct sunlight.
INCOMPATIBILITY: Strong oxidizers,( such as; liquid chlorine, halogens, hydrogen peroxide, and oxygen), selected
amines, strong acids (such as Nitric and Sulphuric), strong bases and molten sulphur.

SECTION FIVE - REACTIVITY DATA (continued)
HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS: Carbon oxides can form on incomplete combustion.
HAZARDOUS POLYMERIZATION: Will not occur.
SECTION SIX - HEALTH HAZARD DATA
EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE
EYE CONTACT: Moderate eye irritation: symptoms can include redness, swelling, pain, tearing, and hazy vision.
SKIN CONTACT: After prolonged or repeated contact, symptoms can include redness, swelling, blistering, itching, and
dryness. May be absorbed through the skin in harmful amounts.
SKIN ABSORPTION: May be absorbed if prolonged and repeated contact occurs. Exposures may aggravate existing eye,
skin, kidney and liver disorders.
INGESTION: Not likely as an aerosol but, if swallowed, it can be harmful or fatal. ASPIRATION HAZARD. Irritation of
gastrointestinal tissues: Symptoms can include pain, vomiting, abdominal tenderness, nausea, blood in vomitus, and
blood in feces. Blood Disorders: Symptoms can include a general feeling of unhealthiness, weakness, and fatigue. Heart
effects: Can include arrhythmia, heart attack, and death. Kidney damage: Symptoms can include reduced urine volume,
loss of appetite, weight gain, red urine, back pain, painful urination, and lethargy. Central nervous system effects:
Symptoms can include emotional changes, lack of coordination, delirium, tremors, sensory loss, and coma. Aspiration
Pneumonitis: Symptoms can include coughing, difficulty breathing, wheezing, pneumonia, and coughing up blood. Liver
Damage: Symptoms can include yellow skin, tenderness of abdomen, abdominal distension, lethargy, fever, and death.
Contains Methanol which cannot be made non-poisonous. Deaths are reported from as little as 30 ml of Methanol; can
cause blindness that could be permanent.
INHALATION: May be harmful or fatal if inhaled. Blood disorders: Symptoms include a general feeling of unhealthiness,
weakness and fatigue. Clotting disorders (increased blood clotting time): Symptoms can include bruising easily and
bleeding which takes a long period to stop. Gastro-intestinal disturbance: Symptoms can include nausea, vomiting and
diarrhea. Cardiac sensitization: Sudden heart stoppage due to a reflex effect on the nerves which control the heart. This
effect usually occurs only after inhalation of concentrated vapors such as intentional abusive sniffing of certain solvents
and propellants. Heart effects: Symptoms can include arrhythmia, heart attack, and death. Nervous systems effects:
Symptoms can include emotional changes, lack of coordination, delirium, tremors, sensory loss, and coma. Peripheral
neuropathy: Symptoms can include tingling of extremities, incoordination, sensory losses, weakness, tremors, and
emotional changes. Chemical pneumonitis: Inhalation of liquid or vapors can result in symptoms of coughing, difficulty
breathing, wheezing, pneumonia, and coughing up blood. Respiratory system irritation: Symptoms can include coughing,
congestion, irritation of throat, tightness of chest, wheezing and difficulty breathing. Lung damage: Symptoms can include
coughing, difficulty breathing, wheezing tightness in chest, congestion, and coughing up blood. Pulmonary edema:
Symptoms can include coughing, difficulty breathing, fluid in lungs, unconsciousness, and even death.
SYSTEMIC AND OTHER EFFECTS: None Known
REPRODUCTIVE/DEVELOPMENTAL TOXINS: Toluene is not classifiable as to its ability to cause reproductive health
effects in humans. Mutagenicity: Toluene, a component of this product, can cause irreversible changes in the genetic
material of a cell based on results of tests in workers exposed to "high" concentrations.
EMERGENCY AND FIRST AID PROCEDURES
EYE CONTACT: In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with large amounts of water for 15 minutes lifting upper and
lower eyelids. If irritation or other symptoms persist, call a physician.
SKIN CONTACT: In case of contact, immediately wash skin with large amounts of soap and water. Remove
contaminated clothing. If irritation is severe, call a physician immediately. Wash clothing before reuse. Destroy or
properly dispose of contaminated shoes.

SECTION SIX - HEALTH HAZARD DATA (continued)
INHALATION: If inhaled, move person to non-contaminated air. If breathing has stopped, give artificial respiration. If
breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Call a physician immediately if symptoms persist.
INGESTION: Ingestion is not likely, as an aerosol but, if ingested, do not induce vomiting. Never give anything by mouth to
an unconscious person. Call a physician immediately. Gastric lavage should be only considered by medical personnel
following intubation with a cuffed endotracheal tube.
SECTION SEVEN - ENVIRONMENTAL AND DISPOSAL INFORMATION
ACTION TO TAKE FOR SPILLS/LEAKS: Ventilate area-especially low places where heavy vapors might collect.
Extinguish all ignition sources. Contain spill. Cover with inorganic absorbent material. Collect spilled material. Clean up
residue. Place in an approved DOT container for disposal. Refer other sections of this MSDS for information regarding
physical and health hazards, respiratory protection, ventilation, and personnel protective equipment.
WASTE DISPOSAL METHOD: Reclaim by distillation if possible or remove to a permitted waste disposal facility in
accordance with local, state and federal regulations.
