Section 3 - Hazards Identification
*** Emergency Overview ***: Contents Under Pressure. Vapors may cause flash fire or explosion. Extremely
flammable liquid and vapor. Harmful if inhaled. May affect the brain or nervous system causing dizziness, headache
or nausea. Harmful if swallowed.
Effects Of Overexposure - Eye Contact: Causes eye irritation.
Effects Of Overexposure - Skin Contact: Prolonged or repeated contact may cause skin irritation. Substance may
cause slight skin irritation.
Effects Of Overexposure - Inhalation: Harmful if inhaled. High gas, vapor, mist or dust concentrations may be
harmful if inhaled. Avoid breathing vapors or mists. High vapor concentrations are irritating to the eyes, nose, throat
and lungs.
Effects Of Overexposure - Ingestion: Aspiration hazard if swallowed; can enter lungs and cause damage.
Substance may be harmful if swallowed.
Effects Of Overexposure - Chronic Hazards: IARC lists Ethylbenzene as a possible human carcinogen (group 2B).
May cause central nervous system disorder (e,g.,narcosis involving a loss of coordination, weakness, fatigue,
Page 2 of 7
mental confusion, and blurred vision) and/or damage. Reports have associated repeated and prolonged
occupational overexposure to solvents with permanent brain and nervous system damage. Overexposure to xylene
in laboratory animals has been associated with liver abnormalities, kidney, lung, spleen, eye and blood damage as
well as reproductive disorders. Effects in humans, due to chronic overexposure, have included liver, cardiac
abnormalities and nervous system damage.
Primary Route(s) Of Entry: Skin Absorption, Inhalation, Eye Contact
Section 4 - First Aid Measures
First Aid - Eye Contact: Hold eyelids apart and flush with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Get medical
attention.
First Aid - Skin Contact: Wash with soap and water. Get medical attention if irritation develops or persists.
First Aid - Inhalation: If you experience difficulty in breathing, leave the area to obtain fresh air. If continued
difficulty is experienced, get medical assistance immediately.
First Aid - Ingestion: Aspiration hazard: Do not induce vomiting or give anything by mouth because this material
can enter the lungs and cause severe lung damage. Get immediate medical attention.
Section 5 - Fire Fighting Measures
Flash Point: -156 F LOWER EXPLOSIVE LIMIT: 0.1
(Setaflash) UPPER EXPLOSIVE LIMIT : 15.0
Extinguishing Media: Dry Chemical, Foam, Water Fog
Unusual Fire And Explosion Hazards: Keep containers tightly closed. Perforation of the pressurized container may
cause bursting of the can. Vapors can travel to a source of ignition and flash back. Vapors may form explosive
mixtures with air. Closed containers may explode when exposed to extreme heat. FLASH POINT IS LESS THAN
20 ? F. - EXTREMELY FLAMMABLE LIQUID AND VAPOR! Water spray may be ineffective. Isolate from heat,
electrical equipment, sparks and open flame.
Special Firefighting Procedures: Evacuate area and fight fire from a safe distance.
Section 6 - Accidental Release Measures
Steps To Be Taken If Material Is Released Or Spilled: Dispose of according to local, state (provincial) and federal
regulations. Do not incinerate closed containers. Remove all sources of ignition, ventilate area and remove with
inert absorbent and non-sparking tools. Contain spilled liquid with sand or earth. DO NOT use combustible
materials such as sawdust.
Section 7 - Handling And Storage
Handling: Use only in a well-ventilated area. Avoid breathing vapor or mist. Wash thoroughly after handling. Wash
hands before eating. Follow all MSDS/label precautions even after container is emptied because it may retain
product residues.
Storage: Do not store above 120 ?F. Store large quantities in buildings designed and protected for storage of
NFPA Class I flammable liquids. Contents under pressure. Do not expose to heat or store above 120 ?F. Keep
containers tightly closed. Isolate from heat, electrical equipment, sparks and open flame.

Section 8 - Exposure Controls / Personal Protection
Engineering Controls: Use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to control
airborne levels below recommended exposure limits. Use explosion-proof ventilation equipment. Prevent build -up of
vapors by opening all doors and windows to achieve cross-ventilation.
Respiratory Protection: A NIOSH/MSHA approved air purifying respirator with an organic vapor cartridge or canister
may be permissible under certain circumstances where airborne concentrations are expected to exceed exposure
limits.
Protection provided by air purifying respirators is limited. Use a positive pressure air supplied respirator if there is
any potential for an uncontrolled release, exposure levels are not known, or any other circumstances where air
purifying respirators may not provide adequate protection. A respiratory protection program that meets OSHA
1910.134 and ANSI Z88.2 requirements must be followed whenever workplace conditions warrant a respirator's
use.
Skin Protection: Nitrile or Neoprene gloves may afford adequate skin protection. Use impervious gloves to prevent
skin contact and absorption of this material through the skin.
Eye Protection: Use safety eyewear designed to protect against splash of liquids.
Other protective equipment: Refer to safety supervisor or industrial hygienist for further information regarding
personal protective equipment and its application.
Hygienic Practices: Wash thoroughly with soap and water before eating, drinking or smoking.
