Section 3: Hazards Identification
Emergency Overview
Red liquid with pungent odor. Warning! May cause respiratory tract irritation. Avoid contact with
eyes and skin.
HMIS Rating:
Health: 2 Flammability: 2 Reactivity: 0 PPE: B
Potential Health Effects
Eye Contact: Eye contact may cause eye irritation with discomfort, tearing, or blurring of vision.
Skin Contact: Prolonged and repeated skin contact may cause defatting and dermatitis.
Inhalation: Inhalation may cause irritation of the respiratory tract; headache, nausea dizziness,
weakness and fatigue.
Ingestion: Vomiting may result. Pulmonary aspiration hazard if vomiting occurs.
Reports have associated repeated and prolonged occupational overexposure to hydrocarbon
solvents with permanent brain and nervous system damage.
Carcinogenicity Information
None of the components present in this material at concentrations equal to or greater than 0.1%
are listed by IARC, NTP, OSHA, and ACGIH as carcinogens.
Section 4: First Aid Measures
Inhalation
If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult,
give oxygen. Get medical attention immediately.
Skin Contact
In case of contact, immediately flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while
removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Get medical attention immediately.
Eye Contact
In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Get
medical attention immediately.

Ingestion
If affected person is conscious, give plenty of water to drink. Drink two large glasses of water.
Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Induce vomiting by sticking finger in
throat. Get immediate medical attention.
Section 5: Fire Fighting Measures
Flammable Properties:
Flash Point: 142 掳F (61 掳C) Minimum (Method: TCC) Burn Rate: Unknown
Flammable Limits:
Lower Flammable Limit: Not Established Upper Flammable Limit: Not Established
Flammability Classification: Flammable Liquid
Autoignition Temperature: Not Established
Hazardous Combustion Products: Carbon Monoxide, Carbon Dioxide, Some metallic oxides
Extinguishing Media: Water Spray (Fog), Foam, Dry Chemical
Additional Considerations: Flammable liquid and vapor. Vapor may cause flash fire. Vapors
may accumulate in low or confined areas, travel considerable distance to source of ignition and
flash back. Runoff to sewer may create fire or explosion hazard.
FIRE FIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS: Fire fighters should wear positive pressure NIOSH approved
self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) and full turnout gear.
NFPA RATING:
Health: 2 Flammability: 2 Reactivity: 0 Protective equipment: B
Section 6: Accidental Release Measures
Note: Review Fire Fighting Measures and Handling (Personnel) Sections before proceeding
with clean up. Use appropriate Personal Protective Equipment during clean up. Soak up with
sawdust, sand, oil dry or other absorbent material. Remove source of heat, sparks, flame,
impact, friction, or electricity. Dike spill. Prevent material from entering sewers, waterways, or
low areas.

Aug 17th 2006 MSDS: Driving Force Technologies
Spill Clean-Up
If emergency personnel are unavailable, contain spilled material. For small spills add absorbent
(soil may be used in the absence of other suitable materials) and use a non-sparking or
explosion proof means to transfer material to a sealed, appropriate container for disposal. For
large spills dike spilled material or otherwise contain material to ensure runoff does not reach a
waterway. Place spilled material in an appropriate container for disposal. Minimize contact of
spilled material with soils to prevent runoff to surface waterways
Accidental Release Measures
Spills are slippery and should be cleaned up promptly. Unless released material is cleaned up
immediately for reprocessing, recycling, or reuse, a release of 100 lbs. may trigger the reporting
requirements of CERCLA Section 103.
Section 7: Handling and Storage
Handling: Keep away from heat, sparks and flame. Do not ingest. Avoid breathing vapor or
mist. Keep container closed. Use only with adequate ventilation. Wash thoroughly after
handling. To avoid fire or explosion, dissipate static electricity during transfer by grounding and
bonding containers and equipment before transferring material. Use explosion-proof electrical
(ventilating, lighting and material handling) equipment.
Storage: Store in a segregated and approved area. Keep container tightly closed and sealed
until ready for use. Avoid all possible sources of ignition (spark or flame). Keep container in a
well-ventilated place.
Incompatible materials: Strong oxidizing and reducing agents.
Special Packaging Materials: Not applicable
Section 8: Exposure Control/ Personal Protection
Engineering Controls
Provide exhaust ventilation or other engineering controls to keep the airborne concentrations of
vapors below their respective threshold limit value.
Personal Protective Equipment
Eye/Face Protection: Wear coverall chemical splash goggles or safety glasses. Goggles with a
face shield may be necessary depending on quantity of material and conditions of use.
Skin Protection: Where there is potential for skin contact have available and wear as
appropriate impervious gloves, apron, pants, boots hood and jacket.

Aug 17th 2006 MSDS: Driving Force Technologies
Respirators: Where there is potential for airborne exposures in excess of applicable limits,
wear NIOSH/MSHA approved respiratory protection.
