Emergency Overview
APPEARANCE AND ODOR: Amber liquid. Solvent odor.
Extremely flammable liquid and vapor. Vapor may cause flash fire. Use water spray to cool materials in or near a fire. Fire may
be difficult to extinguish. Vapors may travel, and can be ignited by a remote source.
Inhalation of vapors may cause upper respiratory irritation or central nervous system depression - remove affected individuals
to fresh air.
Potential Health Effects
Summary
Vapors from this product may cause eye and upper respiratory irritation, dry throat and mouth, nausea, headache, dizziness,
drowsiness, and coma in extreme cases. Prolonged exposures may lead to liver and kidney injury.
Inhalation
Irritation of the upper respiratory tract (scratchy throat), coughing, and congestion may occur in extreme exposures.
Skin
Can cause skin irritation. Prolonged or repeated contact may dry the skin. Symptoms include redness, burning, drying,
cracking, burns, and other skin damage.
Absorption
Can pass through skin and cause symptoms similar to those resulting from swallowing or inhalation.
Ingestion
This product is not intended to be ingested or eaten under normal conditions of use. If ingested, it may cause gastrointestinal
(GI) irritation, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. Aspiration of this material into the lungs due, for example, to vomiting, can
cause chemical pneumonitis which can be harmful or fatal.
