Effects of Overexposure:EYES: WATERING, BLURRED VISION, INFLAMMATION,
AND IRRITATION WHICH CAN RESULT IN CORNEAL INJURY. INHALATION:
NASAL AND RESPIRATORY IRRITATION, DIZZINESS, NARCOSIS, HEADACHE,
NAUSEA, CNS DEPRESSION, AN D UNCONSCIOUSNESS. INGESTION: NAUSEA,
VOMITING; CNS DEPRESSION; IRRITATION OF GASTROINTESTINAL TRACT,
LIVER AND PERITONEAL WALL; LUNG CONGESTION. SKIN: IRRITATION,
DERMATITIS.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:INDIVIDUALS W/PRE-EXISTING OR
CHRONIC DISEASES OF EYES, SKIN, RESPIRATORY SYSTEM, CARDIOVASCULAR
SYSTEM, GI SYSTEM, LIVER OR KIDNESY MAY HAVE INCREASED
SUSCEPTABILITY TO EXCESSIVE EXPOSURES.

First Aid:EYES: FLUSH WITH LARGE AMOUNTS OF WATER FOR AT LEAST 15
MINUTES. SEEK IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION. INHALATION: REMOVE TO
FRESH AIR. ADMINISTER OXYGEN OR ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION AS NEEDED.
GIVE NOTHING BY MOUTH TO UNCONSCIOUS PERSON. SEEK IMMEDIATE
MEDICAL ATTENTION. INGESTION: DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. GIVE LARGE

Fire Fighting Procedures:USE NIOSH APPRVD SCBA & FULL PROT EQUIP . HAZ
DECOMP PRODS POSSIBLE (SEE REACTIVITY DATA SECTION). EVACUATE AREA.
DIKE FIRE CONTROL AREA AS RUN-OFF MAY CREATE ADDITIONAL FIRE HAZ &
ENVIRONMENTA L CONTAMINATION. COOL HEAT EXPOSED CNTNRS W/WATER. IF
SPILL OR LEAK HAS NOT IGNITED, USE WATER SPRAY TO DISPERSE VAPORS.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:EXTREMELY FLAMMABLE - VERY LOW FLASH
POINT. VAPORS ARE HEAVIER THAN AIR AND MAY TRAVEL ALONG GROUND OR
TO LOW SPOTS AT CONSIDERABLE DISTANCES TO A SOURCE OF IGNITION
RESULTING IN POTENTIAL FLASHBACK. BURNING LIQUID MAY FLOAT ON
WATER. HEAT MAY BUILD UP PRESSURE AND RUPTURE CLOSED CONTAINERS.

Spill Release Procedures:REMOVE ALL SOURCES OF IGNITION. USE ABSORBENT
MATERIALS TO PREVENT FOOTING HAZARD AND TO CONTAIN. VENTILATE AREA
W/NATURAL OR EXPLOSION-PROOF, FORCED AIR VENTILATION. AVOID
FLUSHING INTO SEWERS, DRAIN S, WATERWAYS AND SOIL. WEAR PROTECTIVE
CLOTHING AND NIOSH APPROVED RESPIRATORY PROTECTION DURING CLEANUP.

Handling and Storage Precautions:KEEP CONTAINER CLOSED AND UPRIGHT WHEN
NOT IN USE. DO NOT STORE NEAR HEAT, SPARKS OR OPEN FLAMES. IF
TRANSFERRING THIS LIQUID MATERIAL TO OTHER CONTAINERS, GROUND ALL
CONTAINERS TO AVOID STATIC ELECTR ICITY BUILDUP AND DISCHARGE WHICH
MAY IGNITE FLAMMABLE VAPORS.
Other Precautions:AVOID PROLONGED OR REPEATED CONTACT WITH SKIN OR
CLOTHING. EMPTY CONTAINERS MAY CONTAIN RESIDUES AND VAPORS; TREAT
AS IF FULL AND OBSERVE ALL PRODUCT PRECAUTIONS. DO NOT REUSE EMPTY
CONTAINERS. KEEP O UT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.
