3. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
Emergency Overview: Danger: Extremely flammable. Breathing high concentrations of vapor or mist may cause nausea,
vomiting, central nervous system (CNS) depression and asphyxiation. Symptoms may include headache,
diziness, blurred vision, slurred speech, memory loss, confusion, faigue, loss of consciousness,
convulsions, paralysis, or coma. This material is irritating to skin, eyes and respiratory tract. Keep away
from heat, sparks and flame. Prolonged or repeated inhalation or ingestion may result in kidney and liver
changes.
HMIS Classification: Health: *2 Flammability: 4 Physical Hazard: 2
NFPA Rating: Health: 2 Flammability: 4 Reactivity: 1
4. FIRST AID MEASURES
Eye Contact: In case of contact, or suspected contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes
and get medical attention immediately after flushing. Do not permit victim to rub eyes.
Ingestion: If swallowed, call a physician immediately. Only induce vomiting at the instruction of a physician. Never
give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical attention! If vomiting occurs, keep head
lower than hips to prevent aspiration.
Inhalation: If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing give artificial respiration, preferably mouth-to-mouth. If
breathing is difficult give oxygen. Get medical attention.
Skin Contact: Wash with soap and water for 15 minutes. If irritation persists or signs of toxicity occur, seek medical
attention. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes, and launder before reuse.
5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Flammable Properties
Flash Point 癋(癈): -76 F
Flash Point Method: TAG Closed Cup
Flammable Limits in Air - Lower (%): 1.2% (Lowest Component)
Flammable Limits in Air - Upper (%): 6.7% (Lowest Component)
Autoignition Temperature 癋(癈): 356 F (Lowest Component)
Extinguishing Media: Dry chemical. Carbon dioxide. Alcohol foam. Use water spray to keep containers cool that are exposed to
heat or flames.
Protection Of Fire-Fighters:
Special Fire-Fighting Procedures: Wear approved positive-pressure self-contained breathing apparatus and protective clothing. Vapor may
cause flash fire. Fight from a maximum distance or use unmanned hose holders or monitor nozzles.
Containers can build up pressure if exposed to heat; cool with flooding quantities of water until well after
the fire is out. Withdraw immediately in case of rising sound from venting safety devices or discoloration of
vessel.
Hazardous Combustion Products: Carbon Dioxide. Carbon Monoxide.
Aerosol Comments: NFPA Level 3 Aerosol

6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Personal Precautions: Wear appropriate protective clothing and equipment to prevent skin and eye contact.
Spill Procedures: Contain any liquid from leaking containers. Avoid all sources of ignition; heat, sparks and open flames.
Action to be taken if material is released Do not puncture or incinerate container. Contents under pressure. Wear proper protective equipment as
or spilled: specified in the protective equipment section. Remove sources of ignition. Leaking containers should be
removed to an isolated, well-ventilated area and transferred to other suitable containers. Wipe, scrape, or
soak up in an inert material and put in a container intended for flammable materials for disposal.
Environmental Precautions: Do not allow to enter sanitary drains, sewer or surface and subsurface waters. Keep out of lakes, ponds or
streams.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Handling and Storage: Caution: Contents under pressure. Keep away from heat and open flame. Use only in a well ventilated
area. Avoid breathing vapors, if exposed to high vapor concentration, leave area at once. Avoid contact
with skin and eyes. Do not puncture, incinerate or store above 120 F. Exposure to high temperatures may
cuase bursting. DO NOT store in the passenger compartment of an automobile. Store in a cool, dry place,
out of direct sunlight.
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
Engineering Controls: Use in a well ventilated area. Local exhaust ventilation as necessary to maintain exposures to within
applicable limits.
Eyes: Chemical goggles; also wear a face shield if splashing hazard exists.
Skin Protection: Avoid skin contact. Wear protective clothing and gloves.
Respiratory Protection: Do not breath mist or vapor. Use in a well ventilated area. Appropriate respiratory protection shall be worn
when applied engineering controls are not adequate to protect against inhalation exposure.
