Eye Contact: Causes moderate to severe irritation, experienced as discomfort or pain, excess blinking and tear
production, with marked excess redness and swelling of the conjunctiva. Corneal injury may occur.
Skin Contact: May cause minor irritation with itching and possible slight local redness. A single prolonged exposure is
not likely to result in the material being absorbed.
Effects of Repeated Overexposure: Drying and cracking of the skin may result from prolonged exposure to this
material because of its defatting action.
Skin Absorption: Repeated prolonged contact may result in the absorption of potentially harmful amounts of material.
Ingestion: Single dose oral toxicity is considered to be low. May cause abdominal discomfort, nausea, and vomiting.
Chronic, Prolonged or Repeated Overexposure may cause injury.
Other Effects of Overexposure: Skin contact may cause sensitization and an allergic skin reaction in a small
proportion of individuals.
Medical Conditions Aggravated by Exposure: Any pre-existing disorders or deseases of the eye, skin, or central
nervours system (CNS).
POTENTIAL ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS: See Section 12 for Ecological Information.
4. FIRST AID MEASURES
Eye: Immediately flush eyes with water and continue washing for 15 minutes. Remove contact lenses, if worn. Obtain
medical attention if discomfort persists.
Skin: Remove contaminated clothing. Wash skin with soap and water. Obtain medical attention if irritation persists.
Wash clothing before reuse.
Ingestion: If a large quantity (several ounces) has been swallowed, and if patient is fully conscious, give two glasses of
water. Seek medical attention immediately. Induce vomiting only if prescribed by a physician.
Inhalation: If any symptoms develop, remove to fresh air. Seek medical attention if symptoms continue.
Note to Physicians: There is no specific antidote. Treatment of overexposure should be directed at the control of
symptoms and the clinical condition of the patient.
5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
FIRE CLASSIFICATION:
OSHA Classification (29 CFR 1910.1200): Not classified by OSHA as combustible.
NFPA RATINGS: Health: 1 Flammability: 1 Reactivity: 0
Flash Point - Closed Cup: Pensky-Martens Closed Cup ASTM D 93 121 掳C 250 掳F
Flammable Limits In Air: Lower Not determined. Upper Not determined.
Autoignition Temperature: 310 掳C 590 掳F
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Extinguish fires with water spray or apply alcohol-type or all-purpose-type foam by
manufacturer's recommended techniques for large fires. Use carbon dioxide or dry chemical media for small fires.
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA TO AVOID: No information currently available.
SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES: Do not direct a solid stream of water or foam into hot, burning pools; this
may cause frothing and increase fire intensity.
SPECIAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT FOR FIREFIGHTERS: Use self-contained breathing apparatus and protective
clothing.
HAZARDOUS COMBUSTION PRODUCTS: Burning can produce the following products: Oxides of carbon and
nitrogen. Carbon monoxide is highly toxic if inhaled. Carbon dioxide in sufficient concentrations can act as an
asphyxiant. Acute overexposure to the products of combustion may result in irritation of the respiratory tract.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE INFORMATION
Steps to be Taken if Material is Released or Spilled: Small spills should be flushed with large quantities of water.
Large spills should be collected for disposal.
REV DATE: 3/20/2007 PAGE 2 OF 6
MSDS: CHAMPION庐 MSDS 1400 SERIES DOT 3 BRAKE FLUID
Protective Measures: Wear suitable protective equipment. Avoid contact with eyes.
Spill Management: Stop the source of the release if you can do it without risk. Contain release to prevent further
contamination of soil, small spills should be flushed with large quantities of water. Clean up spill as soon as possible,
observing precautions in Exposure Controls/Personal Protection. Use appropriate techniques such as applying non-
combustible absorbent materials or pumping. Where feasible and appropriate, remove contaminated soil. Place
contaminated materials in disposable containers and dispose of in a manner consistent with applicable regulations.
Reporting: Report spills to local authorities and/or the U.S. Coast Guard's National Response Center at (800) 424-8802
as appropriate or required.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Precautionary Measures: Do not get in eyes, on skin, or on clothing. Do not taste or swallow. Wash thoroughly after
handling. Do not breathe vapor or fumes. Keep out of the reach of children.
General Handling Information: Avoid contact with eyes. Keep container closed. Use with adequate ventilation. Wash
thoroughly after handling. Avoid contaminating soil or releasing this material into sewage and drainage systems and
bodies of water.
Ventilation: General (mechanical) room ventilation is expected to be satisfactory.
General Storage Information: Glycol ethers as a family of solvents can be stored in carbon steel. Stainless steel or
high baked, phenolic-lined tanks may be considered for critical applications sensitive to slight discoloration or trace iron
contamination. Piping can be made of the same material as the storage tank. A centrifugal pump is suitable for transfer
services. Butyl rubber or EPDM can be used for gaskets and packing. NOTE: UCC does not recommend using
aluminum, copper, galvanized iron, galvanized steel, Viton, neoprene, nitrile or natural rubber with glycol ethers. Glycol
ethers do not present a significant flammability hazard at normal storage temperatures. They have relatively low vapor
pressures, viscosities and freezing points.
8. EXPOSURE CONTROL/PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS:
Consider the potential hazards of this material (see Section 3), applicable exposure limits, job activities, and other
substances in the work place when designing engineering controls and selecting personal protective equipment. If
engineering controls or work practices are not adequate to prevent exposure to harmful levels of this material, the
personal protective equipment listed below is recommended. The user should read and understand all instructions and
limitations supplied with the equipment since protection is usually provided for a limited time or under certain
circumstances.
ENGINEERING CONTROLS:
Sudden release of hot organic chemical vapors or mists from process equipment operating at elevated temperature and
pressure, or sudden ingress of air into vacuum equipment, may result in ignitions without the presence of obvious
ignition sources. Published "autoignition" or "ignition" temperature values cannot be treated as safe operating
temperatures in chemical processes without analysis of the actual process conditions. Any use of this product in
elevated-temperature processes should be thoroughly evaluated to establish and maintain safe operating conditions.
Further information is available in a technical bulletin entitled "Ignition Hazards of Organic Chemical Vapors." Standard
(ASTM) test values do not predict many real life situations. Autoignition is the result of a gas-phase runaway reaction
which occurs when the heat generation rate inside a given volume of reactant exceeds that of heat loss rate. The heat
balance determining autoignition is therefore dependent on factors such as the reactant pressure plus the volume and
geometry of any container. The ASTM standard AIT test uses a small (500 ml), heated, open-necked glass flask in
which autoignition always occurs at atmospheric pressure. The AITs determined using this test can be appreciably
greater than those that might be experienced in large commercial equipment, especially if elevated pressures are
involved. Any operation at temperatures close to or above the flash point should be reviewed by the appropriate expert
(e.g., safety engineer, chemist).
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
Eye/Face Protection: Wear protective equipment to prevent eye contact. Selection of protective equipment may
include safety glasses, chemical goggles, face shields, or a combination depending on the work operations conducted.
Skin Protection: Wear protective clothing to prevent skin contact. Selection of protective clothing may include gloves,
apron, boots, and complete facial protection depending on operations conducted. Suggested materials for protective
gloves include: Polyvinyl chloride coated.
Respiratory Protection: None expected to be needed. General (mechanical) room ventilation is expected to be
satisfactory. Determine if airborne concentrations are below the recommended occupational exposure limits for
jurisdiction of use. If airborne concentrations are above the acceptable limits, wear an approved respirator that provides
adequate protection from this material, such as: Air-Purifying Respirator for Organic Vapors.
REV DATE: 3/20/2007 PAGE 3 OF 6
MSDS: CHAMPION庐 MSDS 1400 SERIES DOT 3 BRAKE FLUID
Use a positive pressure air-supplying respirator in circumstances where air-purifying respirators may not provide
adequate protection.
