Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:TARGET ORGANS: EYES, SKIN, CNS,
RESPIRATORYAND GASTROINTESTINAL TRACTS. ACUTE- EYES: MAY CAUSE
IRRITATION, TEARING AND STINGING. SKIN: MAY CAUSE DRYNESS WITH
PROLONGED/REPEATED CONTACT. INHALE: HIGH V APOR CONCENTRATIONS MAY
CAUSE RESPIRATORY IRRITATION AND CNS EFFECTS. SWALLOWING: MAY CAUSE
GASTROINTESTINAL TRACT IRRITATION, HEADACHE, NAUSEA, VOMITING,
DIZZINESS OR DROWSINESS. ASPIRATION HAZARD. C HRONIC- MAY CAUSE
DRYNESS OF SKIN.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:ACETONE IS NOT LISTED AS A CARCINOGEN OR
SUSPECTED CARCINOGEN BY NTP, IARC, OR REGULATED BY OSHA.
Effects of Overexposure:DEFATTING AND DRYING OF THE SKIN, IRRITATION,
HEADACHE, NAUSEA, VOMITING, DIZZINESS, TEARING
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:SKIN CONTACT MAY AGGRAVATE AN
EXISTING DERMATITIS.

First Aid:GET MEDICAL HELP IF SYMPTOMS PERSIST. INHALATION: REMOVE TO
FRESH AIR. GIVE ARTIFICAL RESPIRATION IF NOT BREATHING. IF
BREATHING IS DIFFICULT, OXYGEN MAY BE GIVEN BY QUALIFIED PERSONNEL.
EYES CONTACT: IMMEDIATELY FLUSH WITH WATER FOR AT LEAST 15
MINUTES. HOLD EYELIDS OPEN. DO NOT REMOVE CONTACT LENSES, IF WORN.
SKIN: WASH WITH SOAP & WATER FOR AT LEAST 15 MINUTES. SWALLOWING:
DO NOT INDUCE VOMITIN G. IF PATIENT IS FULLY CONSCIOUS, GIVE TWO
GLASSES OF WATER. SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION. IF VOMITING OCCURS, KEEP

PERSON.

Flash Point Method:TCC
Flash Point:=-17.8C, 0.F
Lower Limits:2.15%
Upper Limits:13.0%
Extinguishing Media:SMALL FIRE: USE DRY CHEMICALS, CARBON DIOXIDE.
LARGE FIRE: USE ALCOHOL-TYPE OR ALL-PURPOSE FOAM.
Fire Fighting Procedures:VERY FALMMABLE, CLEAR FIRE AREA OF UNPROTECTED
PERSONNEL AND ISOLATE. DO NOT ENTER CONFINED FIRE SPACE WITHOUT
FULL BUNKER GEAR. USE WATER SPRAY TO COOL FIRE-EXPOSED CONTAINERS
AND STRUCTURES. USE WAT ER SPRAY TO DISPERSE VAPORS - RE-IGNITION
IS POSSIBLE. USE SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS AND PROTECTIVE
CLOTHING.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:VAPOR IS HEAVIER THAN AIR AND CAN TRAVEL
CONSIDERABLE DISTANCE TO A SOURCE OF IGNITION AND FLASH BACK.
CONTAINERS MAY RUPTURE DUE TO VAPOR PRESSURE BUILDUP. VAPORS MAY
SETTLE IN LOW OR CONFINED SPACES . STATIC IGNITION HAZARD CAN
RESULT FROM HANDLING AND USE.

Spill Release Procedures:WEAR PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT. ELIMINATE SOURCES
OF IGNITION. VENTILATE AREA. DO NOT WALK THROUGH SPILL; STOP SPILL
IF POSSIBLE. USE A VAPOR SUPPRESSING FOAM TO REDUCE VAPORS. CONTAIN
AND PICK UP WITH NON -FLAMMABLE ABSORBENT SUCH AS SAND,
VERMICULITE. GROUND ALL HANDLING EQUIPMENTS. PREVENT LIQUID FROM
ENTERING SEWERS, WATERWAYS, CONFINED SPACES. SMALL SPILL CAN BE
FLUSHED WITH LARGE AMOUNT OF WATER.
Neutralizing Agent:DILUTE WITH WATER

Handling and Storage Precautions:FLAMMABLE MATERIAL. STORE IN A COOL,
VENTILATED PLACE. GROUND CONTAINERS WHEN TRANSFERRING PRODUCT. USE
NON-SPARKING TOOLS. KEEP AWAY FROM SPARKS, FLAMES AND HEAT.
Other Precautions:DO NOT TAKE INTERNALLY. DO NOT BREATHE VAPORS. AVOID
CONTACT WITH EYES. USE WITH ADEQUATE VENTILATION. CONTAINERS, EVEN
THOSE THAT HAVE BEEN EMPTIED, CAN CONTAIN EXPLOSIVE VAPORS. DO NOT
CUT, DRILL WE LD NEAR CONTAINERS.

Respiratory Protection:NONE NORMALLY REQUIRED. IF TLV IS EXCEEDED OR
FOR SYMPTOMS OF OVER EXPOSURE, WEAR NIOSH-APPROVED ORGANIC VAPOR
RESPIRATOR OR AIR-PURIFYING RESPIRATOR. IN EMERGENCY, WEAR A
NIOSH-APPROVED POSITIVE-PRES SURE SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING
APPARATUS.
Ventilation:MECHANICAL (GENERAL AND/OR LOCAL EXHAUST, EXPLOSION-PROOF)
VENTILATION TO MAINTAIN EXPOSURE BELOW TLV(S).
Protective Gloves:RUBBER,NEOPRENE
Eye Protection:SAFETY GLASSES/CHEMICAL SPLASH GOGGLES
Other Protective Equipment:EYE BATH, WASHING FACILITIES, SAFETY SHOWER
AND UNIFORM
Work Hygienic Practices:OBSERVE GOOD PERSONAL HYGIENE PRACTICES AND
RECOMMENDED PROCEDURES. DO NOT WEAR CONTAMINATED CLOTHING OR
FOOTWEAR.
Supplemental Safety and Health
DO NOT WEAR CONTACT LENSES. NOTE FOR DOCTORS: ASPIRATION OF PRODUCT
DURING INDUCE EMESIS CAN RESULT IN LUNG INJURY. IF EVACUATION OF
STOMACH CONTENTS IS CONSIDERED NECESSARY, USE METHOD LEAST LIKELY T
O CAUSE ASPIRATION, SUCH AS GASTRIC LAVAGE AFTER ENDOTRACHEAL
INTUBATION.
