ANTICIPATED TO BE CARCINOGEN. ANIMAL : LUNG, LIVER, SALIVARY,
MAMMARY GLAND (TUMORS).
Effects of Overexposure:HLTH HAZ: ADRENOMIMETICS (E.G., EPINEPHRINE)
MAY BE CONTRAINDICATED EXCEPT FOR LIFE-SUSTAINING USES IN HUMANS
ACUTELY/CHRONICALLY EXPOSED TO CHLOROCARBONS . CHRONIC: DMG TO
LIVER, KIDNEYS, BLOO D, CNS. REPRO EFTS: TESTS ON LAB ANIMALS
INDICATE MATL MAY BE MUTAGENIC. TARGET ORGANS: RESP TRACT, CNS,
EYES, SKIN.

First Aid:INGEST: CALL MD. IF SWALLOWED, DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING.
INHALATION: REMOVE TO FRESH AIR. IF NOT BREATHING, GIVE ARTIFICIAL
RESPIRATION. IF BREATHING IS DIFFICULT, GIVE OXYGEN. PROMPT
ACTION IS ESSE NTIAL. SKIN: IMMEDIATELY FLUSH WITH PLENTY OF WATER
FOR AT LEAST 15 MINUTES WHILE REMOVING CONTAMINATED CLOTHING AND
SHOES. WASH CLOTHING BEFORE REUSE. EYES: IMMEDIATELY FLUSH WITH
PLENTY OF WATER FOR AT LEAST 15 MINUTES. GET MEDICAL ATTENTION IF
SYMPTOMS OCCUR. NOTES TO MD: DO NOT USE ADRENALIN OR EPINEPHRINE.

Flash Point Method:CC
Autoignition Temp:=556.1C, 1033.F
Lower Limits:13%
Upper Limits:23%
Extinguishing Media:USE WATER SPRAY, CARBON DIOXIDE, DRY CHEMICAL OR
ORDINARY FOAM.
Fire Fighting Procedures:WEAR NIOSH APPROVED PRESSURE DEMAND SCBA AND
FULL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT . MOVE CONTAINERS FROM FIRE AREA IF IT
CAN BE DONE WITHOUT RISK. USE WATER TO KEEP FIRE-EXPOSED
CONTAINERS COOL. NFPA 704 M RATING: 2-1-0.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:CONCENTRATED VAP CAN BE IGNITED BY HIGH
INTENSITY IGNIT SOURCE. VAP MAY FORM FLAM MIXT IN ATM THAT
CONTAINS A HIGH PERCENTAGE OF OXYGEN. CLSD CONTRS EXPOSED TO HEAT
MAY EXPLODE. TOX GASES PRODUCED: CARBON MONOXIDE, CARBON DIOXIDE,
CHLORINE, HYDROGEN CHLORIDE, PHOSGENE. NOT SENSITIVE TO MECH
IMPACT/STATIC DISCHARGE.

Spill Release Procedures:WEAR NIOSH APPROVED SCBA AND FULL PROTECTIVE
CLOTHING. STOP LEAK IF YOU CAN DO SO WITHOUT RISK. USE WATER
SPRAY TO REDUCE VAPORS. TAKE UP WITH SAND OR OTHER NON-COMBUSTIBLE
ABSORBENT MATERIAL AND P LACE INTO CONTAINER FOR LATER DISPOSAL. DO
NOT FLUSH SPILL AREA WITH WATER. DO NOT ALLOW SPILL TO ENTER
DRAINS OR SEWER SYSTEM.

Handling and Storage Precautions:STORE IN COOL PLACE. KEEP AWAY FROM
FIRE. SINCE EMPTY CONTR RETAINS PROD RESIDUE, FOLLOW LABEL WARNING
EVEN AFTER CONTR IS EMPTY. KEEP CONTRS OUT OF SUN & AWAY FROM
HEAT. HNDLG OPERATIONS SHOULD B E CONDUCTED IN CHEM FUME HOOD.
EMPTY CONTR MAY CONTAIN HAZ RESIDUE.
Other Precautions:DO NOT ADD ANY OTHER MATL TO CONTR. DO NOT WASH DOWN
DRAIN. DO NOT ALLOW SMKNG & FOOD CONSUMPTION WHILE HNDLG. DO NOT
GET IN EYES, ON SKIN/ON CLTHG. NO SMKNG IN AREA OF USE. DO NOT
USE IN GEN VIC INITY OF ARC WELDING, OPEN FLAMES/HOT SURFACES.
HEAT &/OR UV RADIATION MAY CAUSE FORM OF HCL &/OR P HOSGENE .

Respiratory Protection:NIOSH APPROVED RESPIRATORY PROTECTION REQUIRED
IF AIRBORNE CONCENTRATION EXCEEDS TLV. AT CONCENTRATIONS ABOVE 100
PPM, A NIOSH APPROVED SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS IS
ADVISED.
Ventilation:MATERIAL SHOULD BE HANDLED/TRANSFERRED IN APPROVED FUME
HOOD OR W/ADEQUATE GENERAL/LOCAL EXHAUST VENTILATION TO KEEP MIST
LEVEL AS LOW AS POSSIBLE.
Protective Gloves:POLYVINYL ALCOHOL GLOVES ARE RECOMMENDED.
Eye Protection:ANSI APPROVED CHEMICAL WORKERS GOGGLES .
Other Protective Equipment:EMERGENCY EYEWASH AND DELUGE SHOWER MEETING
ANSI DESIGN CRITERIA . UNIFORM, PROTECTIVE SUIT.
Work Hygienic Practices:WASH THOROUGHLY AFTER USE.
