Section 3. HAZARD IDENTIFICATION
Emergency Overview : This dark brown liquid may cause severe irritation to the skin and eyes. This product contains Benzene, a known
human carcinogen. May cause severe eye irritation. Inhalation of vapors may cause nausea, headache, dizziness and temporary central
nervous system depression. Ingestion may cause gastrointestinal pain and discomfort. The product may cause skin sensitization and/or
allergic skin reactions. The product is combustible and toxic vapors may given off in a fire.
Potential Health Effects :
Primary Routes of Exposure : Contact with skin, eyes and product vapor inhalation. Product ingestion is unlikely to occur if proper
safety/hygiene procedures are followed.
Skin Contact : May cause skin irritation with repeated or prolonged exposure. This product may cause an allergic skin reaction and/or
dermatitis.
Eye Contact : May cause eye irritation.
Ingestion : Ingestion may cause nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and abdominal discomfort. Ingestion may cause irritation of the
gastrointestinal tract.
Inhalation : Inhalation of high vapor concentrations may cause headaches, nausea, dizziness and central nervous system depression.
Target Organ : Prolonged or repeated overexposure may cause lung damage, liver damage and kidney damage. May cause central
nervous system disorder (e.g. narcosis involving a loss of co-ordination, weakness, fatigue, mental confusion, and blurred vision) and/or
damage.
Carcinogenicity Classification :
International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC):
Xylene: Not classified as human carcinogen (Group 3)
Benzene: Human carcinogen (Group1) Human evidence is sufficient.
U. S. National Toxicology Program (NTP):
Benzene: Confirmed carcinogen.
U. S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) :
Benzene: Confirmed carcinogen.
Section 4. FIRST AID INFORMATION
Skin Contact : REMOVE FROM SKIN EMERGENCY. Apply a generous amount of waterless hand cleaner (such as GOOP? GoJo?or
similar product) to the affected area. Rub briskly onto the skin, on and around the affected area. Remove the mixture of cleaner-product
with paper towels or clean dry rags. Repeat the entire procedure, then wash the skin with a mild soap, rinsing with warm water. If irritation
develops, obtain medical attention.
Eye contact : Flush with water for at least 15 minutes. If irritation occurs, obtain medical attention.
Ingestion : Do not induce vomiting. Obtain immediate medical attention.

Inhalation : Remove affected person to fresh air. If respiratory problems develop, obtain medical attention.
Note to physician : An activated charcoal slurry taken within 30 minutes of product ingestion may reduce the toxicity of the chemical. A
5:1 weight ratio of charcoal to material ingested is the recommended dosage. Activated charcoal should not be considered as an antidote;
normal symptomatic treatment is recommended with or without the administration of activated charcoal.
Section 5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Flash Point : > 30癈
Extinguishing Media : Use water fog, foam, dry chemical or CO2
Fire and Explosion Hazards : Toxic vapors may be given off in a fire (See section 10). Wear protective clothing and self-
contained breathing apparatus.
Section 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Large Spill : Standard hydrocarbon spill procedures apply to this product. Remove all sources of ignition. Isolate the affected areas.
Confine entry into the affected area to those persons properly protected. Stop leak at the source. Cut off and redirect surface runoff by
trenching or diking. Spills should be contained through the use of commercial oil adsorbent, but other materials such earth, sand or
sawdust may be more expedient to limit the extent of the spill. Prevent the release of this product into the waterway or sewer. To prevent
further losses, reposition, plug or place the leaking container into an oversized recovery drum/container.
Small Spill : Wear protective equipment. Absorb spilled product using a commercial oil absorbent soaking up as much product as
possible. Product should be disposed of in accordance with all applicable government regulations.
Section 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Store in tightly closed, properly labeled containers in a cool, well ventilated area away from all ignition sources. Store out of direct sunlight.
Wear appropriate personal protective equipment. Avoid inhalation of product vapors or mist. Never use a welding or cutting torch on or
near a drum (even empty) because vapors from the material (even residue) can ignite explosively. Follow all MSDS/label precautions
even after container is emptied because it may retain product residue.
Section 8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS AND PERSONAL PROTECTION
Respiratory Protection : Where natural ventilation is inadequate, use mechanical ventilation, other engineering controls, or an organic
adsorption respirator (in USA ?NIOSH/ MSHA approved) to prevent inhalation of product vapor.
Skin protection : Gloves, footwear, coveralls and/or apron as necessary to prevent repeated or prolonged skin contact. Any clothing
which becomes wet with product should be removed immediately and laundered before reuse.
Eye Protection : Chemical goggles or face shield as necessary to prevent eye contact.
