Section III- Hazards Identification
This product contains polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons some of which have produced cancer in laboratory animals
and humans. Vapor can produce eye, skin, and respiratory tract irritation. This material is a flammable material.
Inhalation 鈥? Harmful if inhaled. Over exposure to vapors and mists can cause respiratory and nasal irritation,
anesthetic effects, dizziness, possible unconsciousness and asphyxiation, stupor, weakness fatigue, nausea, and
headache. Long term overexposure may cause damage to the brain, liver, kidneys or central nervous system.
Ingestion 鈥? Gastrointestinal irritation, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, death, aspiration into the lungs which can be
fatal.
Skin contact- Discoloration, moderate irritation, drying of skin, defattening and possible dermatitis. Dermal exposure
plus sunlight could cause a phototoxic reaction that resembles sunburn
Eye contact- May cause severe irritation, redness, tearing or blurred vision.

Section VI - First Aid Measures
Inhalation- If affected, move person to fresh air. If breathing is difficult, administer oxygen. If not breathing or no
heartbeat, give artificial respiration or cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). Immediately call for medical assistance.
Skin Contact: Remove material with waterless hand cleaner and then wash effected area with soap and water for at
least 15 minutes. Remove contaminated clothing and launder before reuse. If irritation persists, contact a physician.
Ingestion: Do Not induce vomiting. Keep person warm, quiet and get medical attention. Do not make an
unconscious person vomit. Monitor for breathing difficulties.
Eye Contact: Flush eyes with water for at least 15 minutes. Consult a physician.
Medical Conditions Aggravated by Exposure: Preexisting skin, eye and respiratory disorders may be aggravated
by exposure to components of this product.
SECTION V 鈥? Fire fighting Measures
Extinguishing media- Dry chemical, foam, CO2 or water fog
Special fire fighting procedures- Evacuate the area of unprotected personnel. Wear self contained breathing
apparatus when fighting fire. Cool surrounding containers with water in case of fire exposure. For closed container,
pressure build up and possible explosion might occur due to extreme heat exposure. Contain water run off from fire
fighting activities.
Flash point 45 oF (7 oC) setaflash
Flammable limits LEL- 1.0 % UEL -8.0 %
Unusual Fire and explosion hazards- None
SECTION VI 鈥? Accidental Release Measures
Personal precautions: Approach from an uphill and upwind position. Eliminate all ignition sources. Evacuate all
unprotected personnel, isolate area and prevent entry. Vapors are heavier than air and may travel a considerable
distance to an ignition source and flash back to the source.
Spills may be collected with inert material (clay or sand) for proper disposal. Use non sparking tools, protective
gloves, goggles, and clothing, adequate ventilation. Avoid breathing vapors by using proper respiratory protection.
Transfer absorbent material to suitable containers, seal properly and dispose of in accordance with local, state and
federal regulations.
SECTION VII 鈥? Handling and Storage
Comply with all applicable EPA, OSHA, NFPA, state and local regulations. Use appropriate grounding and bonding
practices. Store in properly closed containers that are appropriately labeled and in a cool well-ventilated area. Do not
expose to heat, open flames, strong oxidizers or other sources of ignition. Do not drill, cut, grind, or weld on empty
containers since they may contain explosive residues. Keep out of the reach of children.
Vapors are heavier than air and may travel a considerable distance to an ignition source and flash back to the source.
Apply in accordance with manufacturers instructions.
Avoid skin contact. Exercise good personnel hygiene including removal of solids clothing and prompt washing with
soap and water.

SECTION VIII 鈥? Exposure Controls/ Personnel Protection
Engineering measures - Local or general exhaust required in an enclosed area or when there is inadequate
ventilation.
Respiratory protection- Use atmosphere supplying respirator when vapor concentration exceeds permissible limits.
Otherwise an organic vapor respirator with pre-fillers for fumes can be used. Self contained breathing apparatus
should be used for fire fighting.
Skin and body protection- Impermeable gloves should be used to prevent skin contact.
Eye protection- Chemical resistant splash goggles.
Hygiene measures-Wash with soap and water before eating, drinking, applying cosmetics or using toilet facilities.
Launder contaminated clothing before reuse.
