Section 2: Hazards Identification
Emergency Overview
Appearance & Odor: Clear colorless liquid, solvent odor
DANGER
Extremely Flammable. Vapors May Cause Flash Fires. Harmful or Fatal if Swallowed.
Eye and Skin Irritant. Contents Under Pressure.
As defined by OSHA's Hazard Communication Standard, this product is hazardous.
Potential Health Effects:
Eye irritant. Contact may cause moderate to severe eye irritation including stinging, watering
EYE:
and redness.
Skin irritant. Contact may cause redness, itching, burning, and skin damage. Prolonged or
SKIN:
repeated contact can worsen irritation by causing drying and cracking of the skin, leading to
dermatitis (inflammation).
Low to moderate degree of toxicity by inhalation. Effects of overexposure may include
INHALATION:
irritation to the respiratory tract and signs of nervous system depression (headache,
drowsiness, dizziness, loss of coordination, disorientation and fatigue).
Main hazard is aspiration. This material can enter lungs during swallowing or vomiting and
INGESTION:
cause lung inflammation and damage. Swallowing this material may also cause nausea and
diarrhea. Acetone poisoning may result in liver and kidney damage.
Exposure to high concentrations of this material may increase the sensitivity of the heart to
CHRONIC EFFECTS:
certain drugs. Reports have associated repeated and prolonged overexposure to solvents
with permanent brain and nervous system damage.
Liver, kidney, central nervous system.
TARGET ORGANS:
Medical Conditions Aggravated by Exposure: skin disorders, respiratory (asthma-like) disorders
See Section 11 for toxicology and carcinogenicity information on product ingredients.

COMPONENT CAS NUMBER % by Wt.
Heptane isomers 142-82-5 5 - 20
Acetone 67-64-1 70 - 85
Carbon dioxide 124-38-9 8 - 13
Section 4: First Aid Measures
Immediately flush with plenty of water for 15 minutes. Call a physician if irritation persists.
Eye Contact:
Remove contaminated clothing and wash affected area with soap and water. Call a physician
Skin Contact:
if irritation persists. Wash contaminated clothing prior to re-use.
Remove person to fresh air. Keep person calm. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If
Inhalation:
breathing is difficult give oxygen. Call a physician.
Do NOT induce vomiting or give anything by mouth because material can enter the lungs and
Ingestion:
cause severe lung damage. Seek medical attention immediately.
Epinephrine and other sympathomimetic drugs may initiate cardiac arrhythmias in persons
Note to Physicians:
exposed to high concentrations of hydrocarbon solvents. The use of other drugs with less
arrhythmogenic potential should be considered.
Section 5: Fire-Fighting Measures
Flammable Properties: This product is extremely flammable in accordance with aerosol flammability
definitions (16 CFR 1500.3(c)(6) ).
Flash Point: < 0 F (TCC) Upper Explosive Limit: 12.8
Autoignition Temperature: 869 F Lower Explosive Limit: 2.5
Dry chemical, carbon dioxide or foam is recommended.
Suitable Extinguishing Media:
Oxides of carbon
Products of Combustion:
Firefighters should wear self-contained, NIOSH-approved breathing apparatus for
Protection of Fire-Fighters:
protection against suffocation and possible toxic decomposition products. Proper eye
and skin protection should be provided. Use water spray to keep fire-exposed
containers cool and to knock down vapors which may result from product
decomposition. Avoid spreading burning liquid with water used for cooling purposes.
Section 6: Accidental Release Measures
Use personal protection recommended in Section 8.
Personal Precautions:
Take precautions to prevent contamination of ground and surface waters. Do not flush
Environmental Precautions:
into sewers or storm drains.

Eliminate all potential sources of ignition. Dike area to contain spill.
Methods for Containment & Clean-up:
Ventilate the area with fresh air. If in confined space or limited air circulation
area, clean-up workers should wear appropriate respiratory protection.
Recover or absorb spilled material using an absorbent designed for chemical
spills. Place used absorbents into proper waste containers.
Section 7: Handling and Storage
Do not use on or around any potential sources of ignition or live equipment. Do not touch
Handling Procedures:
container to electrical sources as container will conduct electricity. Wash thoroughly after
use and before handling food.
Aerosol cans must be maintained below 120 F to prevent cans from rupturing. Use and store
Storage Procedures:
this material in cool, dry, well-ventilated areas away from heat, direct sunlight, hot metal
surfaces, and all sources of ignition. Keep away from incompatible material.
