***************************** EMERGENCY OVERVIEW ****************************
Caution!
Irritant.
*****************************************************************************
Potential Health Effects:
Eye:
Can cause moderate irritation, tearing and reddening, but not likely to
permanently injure eye tissue.
Skin:
Can cause minor skin irritation, defatting, and dermatitis.
Inhalation:
Can cause minor respiratory irritation, dizziness, weakness, fatigue,
nausea, and headache.
No toxicity expected from inhalation.
Ingestion:
Mildly irritating to mouth, throat, and stomach. Can cause abdominal
discomfort.
Chronic:
No data on cancer.
______________________________________________________________________________
4. FIRST AID MEASURES
______________________________________________________________________________
Eye:
Flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 20 minutes retracting eyelids

Flashpoint Deg C:
Not available.
Upper Flammable Limit %:
Not available.
Lower Flammable Limit %:
Not available.
Autoignition Temperature Deg C:
Not available.
Extinguishing Media:
Use alcohol resistant foam, carbon dioxide, or dry chemical when fighting
fires. Water or foam may cause frothing if liquid is burning but it still
may be a useful extinguishing agent if carefully applied to the surface of
the fire. Do Not direct a stream of water into the hot burning liquid.
Use water spray/fog for cooling.
Firefighting Techniques/Equipment:
Do not enter fire area without proper protection including self-contained
breathing apparatus and full protective equipment. Fight fire from a safe
distance and a protected location due to the potential of hazardous vapors
and decomposition products.
Hazardous Combustion Products:
Includes carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, dense smoke.

6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
______________________________________________________________________________
Accidental releases may be subject to special reporting requirements and other
regulatory mandates. Refer to Section 8 for personal protection equipment
recommendations.
Spill Cleanup:
Exposure to the spilled material may be irritating or harmful. Follow
personal protective equipment recommendations found in Section VIII of
this MSDS. Additional precautions may be necessary based on special
circumstances created by the spill including; the material spilled, the
quantity of the spill, the area in which the spill occurred. Also consider
the expertise of employees in the area responding to the spill.
Ventilate the contaminated area.
Prevent the spread of any spill to minimize harm to human health and the
environment if safe to do so. Wear complete and proper personal protective
