SECTION 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
LEAK AND SPILL PROCEDURES: Extinguish all sources of ignition. Observe safety procedures in SECTION 7
& 8 during clean up. Ventilate the spill area with fans. Spilled product may be slippery to walk on. SMALL
SPILL: apply an inert absorbent material on the spill, pick up, and place in a designated waste container. Mop
up remaining residue and flush to sewer. LARGE SPILL: dike off to prevent sewer entry or ground runoff, and
reclaim for reuse or disposal. For remaining residues, allow residue to dry, otherwise, see SMALL SPILL in-
structions.

Dimethyl Sulfoxide N/AV N/AV IRR, CBL
HMIS III庐 CODES: Health(1*), Flammability(2), Physical Hazard(0), Chronic Hazard: Yes
ENGINEERING CONTROLS: No extra measures are needed if ventilation is adequate; otherwise, use local ex-
haust ventilation (explosion proof) to keep vapor concentration below TLV limits.
Maintain a safety shower and eye wash station near the work area.
PERSONAL PROTECT EQUIP: (X)Gloves, (X)Respirator, (X)Eyes, (X)Footwear, (X)Clothing, ( )Other (Specify)
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: A NIOSH approved respirator with appropriate chemical cartridge is recom-
mended to reduce exposure to vapors if used in unventilated areas. Respiratory
protection is not required if spraying small areas with a hand trigger sprayer.
PROTECTIVE CLOTHING: Wear natural rubber gloves, if prolonged skin contact is expected. If splashing
may occur during use, wear a rubber apron and rubber boots.
EYE PROTECTION: Wear tight fitting goggles especially if splashing may occur.

CHEMICAL STABILITY: Stable
INCOMPATIBILITY (AVOID): Strong acids, strong alkalis, and oxidizers.
REACTIVITY/CONDITIONS: Will not occur.
CONDITIONS TO AVOID: Keep away from heat, open flame, and sparks.
HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS: When exposed to extreme heat (from welding, cutting, and braz-
ing operations) may produce carbon oxides, organic acids, nitrogen oxides, and smoke.
SECTION 11 - TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
ACUTE EXPOSURE EFFECTS: Contact with eye tissue is irritating and may produce burning sensation, red-
ness, watering, and/or itching. Excess inhalation of product can produce upper respiratory irritation and diffi-
cult breathing. Repeated or intentional inhalation of high vapor concentrations may cause dizziness, nerve and
brain damage, and unconsciousness or death with intentional prolonged overexposure. Prolonged skin contact
may defat the skin and cause itching, redness and skin dryness. Ingestion of the product may cause vomiting,
headache, intoxication, and other intestinal complications.
CHRONIC EXPOSURE EFFECTS: Possible reproductive hazard. Prolonged exposure (skin absorption or inhala-
tion) to ingredients may cause kidney, nerve, and liver damage.
IRRITANCY OF PRODUCT: Slight

SECTION 13 - DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS
WASTE DISPOSAL METHOD: Unusable material should be properly drummed. Liquid wastes are not permit-
ted in landfills. This product is not considered a hazardous waste under RCRA. Unusable liquid may be ab-
sorbed on an inert absorbent material, drummed, and taken to a chemical or industrial landfill. In some areas
disposal by incineration, or flushing into a sanitary sewer with plenty of water may be permissible. Consult
your local, state (provincial), and federal agencies for proper disposal method in your area. Do not contaminate
water supply when disposing of wastes or containers.

OTHER: Thank you for your interest in and use of Beaver Research products. We are pleased to be of service to you by supplying this
Material Safety Data Sheet for your files. Beaver Research is concerned for your health and safety. Our products can be used safely
with proper protective equipment and with proper handling practices consistent with label instructions and the MSDS. Before using
any product, be sure to read the complete label and the Material Safety Data Sheet.
As a further word of caution, Beaver Research advises that serious accidents have resulted from the misuse of 鈥渆mptied鈥? containers,
which retain residue (liquid and/or vapor) and can be dangerous. DO NOT pressurize, cut, weld, braze, solder, drill, grind, or expose
such container to heat flame, sparks, or other sources of ignition; they may explode or develop harmful vapors and possibly cause in-
jury or death. Empty containers must be cleaned by triple rinsing with water or an appropriate solvent. Empty containers must be
sent to a drum reconditioner before reuse.
This MSDS also complies with information required by OSHA 29 CFR 1910.1200, and with additional information requirements
stated in FED-STD-313D. It was formatted as outlined by the ANSI Standardized MSDS 16 Part Format Z400.1-1998 and by the
