... Harmful if swallowed or inhaled.
... May cause irritation to eyes, skin and respiratory tract.
... Inhalation or ingestion may cause central nervous system depres-
sion causing dizziness, headache, nausea, incoordination, drowsi-
ness, increased reaction time or unconsciousness/coma. See
MSDS Section 3 for additional effects due to inhalation.
... Ingestion can cause gastro-intestinal irritation, nausea, vomiting
and diarrhea as well as symptoms similar to those of inhalation.

product Label and Material Safety Data Sheet before use.
NPCA-HMIS Hazard Index : o Health: 2
o Flammability: 3
o Reactivity: 0
o Personal Protection: I,X
(See Section 8)
Potential Health Effects
Routes of Exposure:
Inhalation:
Read MSDS Section 2 & 8 for current Exposure Limits before use. May
cause irritation of the nose, throat and respiratory tract. Inhalation
may cause central nervous system depression resulting in impaired judge-
ment. At high concentrations (overexposure) vapor may cause intoxication
characterized by headache, dizziness, nausea, staggering, drowsiness,
unconsciousness and coma. Systemic effects are possible without complaints
of mucous membrane irritation. Prolonged and repeated inhalation of
n-Hexane (a component of this product) may produce peripheral nerve damage.
Skin and Eye:
Exposure to vapor may cause eye irritation. Contact with eyes or skin may
cause irritation. Prolonged or repeated contact may defat skin(remove the
natural protective oils) leading to irritation or dermatitis (inflammation)
resulting in itching, redness and rash.
Ingestion:
Can cause gastro-intestinal irritation, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea.
Ingestion may also cause symptoms similar to those of inhalation.

SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION (Cont鈥檇)
Carcinogenicity Information :
OSHA - NO
IARC - NO
NTP - NO
Medical Conditions Generally Aggrevated By Exposure :
Hexane - individuals with neurological disease should avoid exposure.
SECTION 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES
SKIN: In case of skin contact, thoroughly clean fingernails and
wash hands with soap and water, waterless hand creams or
abrasive soap. If irritation develops, consult a
physician.
EYE: In case of eye contact, flush eyes with plenty of water
for 15 minutes and consult a physician.
INHALATION: If symptoms develop due to inhalation, get fresh air. If
breathing is difficult, give oxygen. If not breathing
give artificial respiration. Get medical attention
immediately.
SWALLOWED: If swallowed contact a physician immediately. Decision
to induce vomiting should only be made by a physician.
Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
SECTION 5 - FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Flash Point: <0掳F Flammable Limits:
Method Used: TCC LEL 1.0 UEL 7.0
N.F.P.A. Rating: H-1, F-3, R-0
Extinguishing Media
Carbon dioxide; dry chemical or foam.
Special Fire Fighting Procedures
Water spray may be ineffective. Water may be used to cool closed
containers to prevent pressure buildup and possible auto-ignition or
explosion when exposed to extreme heat. Fog nozzles are preferred if
water is used.
Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards
Keep containers closed except when in use. Keep away from heat,
electrical equipment, sparks, and open flame. Closed containers may
explode when exposed to extreme heat. Vapors are heavier than air
and may travel along ground to ignition sources distant from materials
handling point such as electrical equipment, smoking materials,
welding torches, pilot lights, etc.. Extinguish all pilot lights and
all sources of ignition. Product or product residue can ignite
explosively. Do not cut, drill, grind or weld on or near container
whether empty or full. Flammable liquid.
M-85668 MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET Page 4 of 8
SECTION 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
This product and its contents are not reportable according to US EPA.
However, spill reporting requirements vary by region. Consult MSDS
Section 15 and applicable federal, state and local regulations.
Observing all precautions, scoop up spill and absorb remaining
liquid with an inert, noncombustible material and remove for
disposal. Remove all sources of ignition. Do not use metal shovels
or other tools which could create sparks.
SECTION 7 - HANDLING AND STORAGE INFORMATION
Precautionary Measures :
... Always use with adequate ventilation to prevent vapor build-up.
Forced ventilation is necessary in pits and other confined areas.
Leave the work area periodically for fresh air to reduce the
effects of inhalation. RESPIRATORS MUST BE WORN if exposures can
not be maintained below exposure limits - consult MSDS Sections
2 and 8.
... When working around heating and air conditioning systems, block
air intake vents to prevent vapor from travelling into buildings.
... Keep away from heat, sparks, open flames, electrical equipment,
smoking materials, welding torches, pilot lights, electrostatic
discharges, etc..
... Enforce no-smoking policy for all trades present on job site.
... Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing.
... In case of fire use Carbon dioxide, dry chemical or foam.
... Keep container closed tightly when not in use to avoid unnecessary
release of vapors and to prevent spills.
... Do not reuse empty containers.
... Do not cut, drill and weld on or near container whether full or
empty.
... FOR PROFESSIONAL USE ONLY. KEEP OUT OF CHILDREN'S REACH.
SECTION 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
Ventilation:
Explosion-proof portable ventilation may be required to prevent vapor
buildup during application in enclosed or depressed areas. Vapors
are heavier than air and will buildup in confined spaces without
ventilation. Vapor buildup can be life threatening. Portable
equipment such as a Coppus Vano portable blower/exhauster should be
used in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
Respiratory Protection :
A chemical cartridge respirator with organic vapor cartridge, NIOSH-
approved, is required at or above the applicable Permissible Exposure
Limits (PEL). Consult MSDS Section 2 and 8 for exposure limits.
Supplied air or self-contained breathing apparatus is required at
higher exposure levels above the capabilities of a chemical cartridge
respirator.
Skin Protection:
Gloves resistant to Heptane and Isopropyl Alcohol are recommended.
Eye Protection:
Wear goggles to prevent exposure to high vapor concentrations or
splashing.

SECTION 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION (Cont'd)
Other Protective Clothing or Equipment :
Normal work clothes with long sleeves should be worn.
Work/Hygienic Practices :
You and your personnel must completely understand the fire and explosion
hazards before using solvent-based products. Any of your employees or
other contractor's personnel who come in contact with this product should
be informed of all precautions required for safe handling.
All containers for products which may involve safety hazards must be
labeled to identify the precautions required. Your personnel should be
made aware of the precautions identified on the product labels as well as
all the information contained above in this Material Safety Data Sheet
and the following:
1. Smoking must not be permitted anywhere in the vicinity of the
work when using solvent-based products.
2. Use of flames, sparks, or electrical equipment shall not be
permitted in or near the work area. This includes welding,
soldering, or other activities involving flames, sparks or high
heat sources. Do not cut, drill, grind, or weld on or near con-
tainer whether empty or full. Solvent vapors have been known to
migrate from the work site. Therefore, remote ignition sources
should be extinguished.
3. Positive ventilation may be required to avoid buildup of solvent
vapors. Particular attention should be given to low areas such
as pits, depressions or trenches which may collect vapors which
are heavier than air. Particular care must be taken in enclosed
areas, or in situations where wind cannot naturally ventilate the
work area. Forced ventilation may be required if natural venti-
lation is inadequate. Careful review of the above respiratory
protection and ventilation control is essential!
