Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:TARGET ORGANS:LUNGS, CNS. ACUTE-
INHALATION OF HIGH CONCENTRATIONS OF VAPOR MAY CAUSE HEART
IRREGULARITIES, UNCONSCIOUSNESS/DEATH. INTENTIONAL MISUSE IS FATAL.
VAPOR REDUCES OXYGEN & IS HEAVIER THAN A IR. EYE/SKIN CONTACT WITH
LIQUID CAN CAUSE FROSTBITE. VAPORS MAY CAUSE EYE IRRITATION.
INGESTION NOT LIKELY. CHRONIC-UNK
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:NONE
Effects of Overexposure:TEMPORARY NERVOUS SYSTEM DEPRESSION WITH
ANAESTHETIC EFFECTS SUCH AS DIZZINESS, HEADACHE, CONFUSION,
INCOORDINATION, LOSS OF CONSCIOUSNESS, IRREGULAR PULSE,
PALPITATIONS, INADEQUATE CIRCULATION. SKIN FROSTBILTE, EYE
IRRITATION
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:INDIVIDUALS WITH PREEXISTING
DISEASES OF THE CENTRAL NERVOUS OR CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM MAY HAVE
INCREASED SUSCEPTIBILITY TO THE TOXICITY OF EXCESSIVE EXPOSURE.

First Aid:GET MEDICAL ATTENTION IF NEEDED. EYE/SKIN:IMMEDIATELY FLUSH
WITH PLENTY OF WATER. TREAT FOR FROSTBITE, IF NECESSARY.
INHALED:REMOVE TO FRESH AIR & PROVIDE OXYGEN/CPR IF NEEDED.
ORAL:INGESTION IS NOT C ONSIDERED A POTENTIAL ROUTE OF EXPOSURE.

Flash Point:NONE
Lower Limits:WATER SPRAY,
Extinguishing Media:WATER, CO2, FOAM OR DRY CHEMICAL. WATER SPRAY MAY
BE USED TO KEEP FIRE EXPOSED CONTAINERS COOL & FLUSH SPILLS AWAY.

NIOSH-APPROVED SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS WITH FULL
FACEPIECE OPERATED IN THE POSITIVE PRESSURE MODE.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:THIS PRODUCT CAN BE DECOMPOSED BY HIGH
TEMPERATURES (OPEN FLAMES, GLOWING METALS) FORMING HYDROGEN
FLUORIDE, HYDROGEN CHLORIDE AND TRACES OF CARBONYL HALIDES.

Spill Release Procedures:VENTILATE AREA, ESPECIALLY LOW PLACES WHERE
VAPORS MIGHT COLLECT. REMOVE OPEN FLAMES. USE SELF-CONTAINED
BREATHING APPARATUS FOR LARGE SPILLS OR RELEASES.
Neutralizing Agent:NOT RELEVANT

Handling and Storage Precautions:STORE IN A COOL, DRY, WELL VENTILATED
AREA, AWAY FROM HEAT AND FLAMES. DO NOT HEAT ABOVE 125F.

ADEQUATE VENTILATION. NEVER USE IN CONFINED OR CLOSED SPACES
WITHOUT PROPER PROTECTIVE E QUIPMENTS.

Respiratory Protection:WEAR NIOSH-APPROVED SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING
APPARATUS OPERATED IN POSITIVE PRESSURE MODE OR SUPPLIED-AIR
RESPIRATOR WITH FULL FACEPIECE AND OPERATED IN PRESSURE-DEMAND OR
OTHER POSITIVE PRESSURE MODE IF A LARGE RELEASE OCCURS.
Ventilation:NORMAL VENTILATION IS SUFFICIENT. LOCAL EXHAUST WHEN LARGE
AMOUNTS ARE RELEASED, MECHANICAL VENTILATION IN LOW PLACES
Protective Gloves:LINED BUTYL GLOVES
Eye Protection:CHEMICAL SPLASH GOGGLES/FACE SHIELD
Other Protective Equipment:EYEBATH, SAFETY SHOWER, PROTECTIVE CLOTHING
Work Hygienic Practices:OBSERVE GOOD PERSONAL HYGIENE PRACTICES AND
