LD50 LC50 Mixture:ORAL LD50(RAT): THE BLEND IS UNTESTED.
Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:NO IARC:NO OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:INHALATION OF HIGH CONCENTRATIONS OF
VAPOR IS HARMFUL AND MAY CAUSE HEART IRREGULARITIES,
UNCONSCIOUSNESS, OR DEATH. INTENTIONAL MISUES OR DELIBERATE
INHALATION MAY CAUSE DEATH WITHOUT WARNING. VAPOR REDUCES OXYGEN
AVAILABLE FOR BREATHING AND IS HEAVIER THAN AIR. LIQUID CONTACT CAN
CAUSE FROSTBITE.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:NONE OF THE COMPONENTS PRESENT IN THIS
MATERIAL AT CONCENTRATIONS EQUAL TO OR GREATER THAN 0.1% ARE LISTED
BY IARC, NTP, OSHA, OR ACGIH AS A CARCINOGEN.
Effects of Overexposure:OVEREXPOSURE TO THE VAPORS BY INHALATION MAY
INCLUDE TEMPORARY NERVOUS SYSTEM DEPRESSION WITH ANESTHETIC EFFECTS
SUCH AS DIZZINESS, HEADACHE, CONFUSION, INCOORDINATION AND LOSS OF
CONSCIOUSNESS. HIGHE R EXPOSURES TO THE VAPORS MAY CAUSE TEMPORARY
ALTERATION OF THE HEARTS ELECTRICAL ACTIVITY WITH IRREGULAR PULSE,
PALPITATION, OR INADEQUATE CIRCULATION; OR FATALITY FROM GROSS
OVEREXPOSURE. CONTACT WI TH LIQUID CAN CAUSE FROSTBITE.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:INDIVIDUALS WITH PREEXISTING
DISEASE OF THE CENTRAL NERVOUS OR CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM MAY HAVE
INCREASED SUSCEPTIBILITY TO THE TOXICITY OF INCREASED EXPOSURES.

First Aid:INHALATION: REMOVE TO FRESH AIR. KEEP PERSON CALM, IF NOT
BREATHING, GIVE ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION. IF BREATHING IS DIFFICULT,
GIVE OXYGEN. CALL A PHYSICIAN. SKIN: FLUSH WITH LUKE WARM WATER. DO
NOT USE HOT WATER. IF FROSTBITE HAS OCCURRED, CALL A PHYSICIAN.
EYES: IMMEDIATELY FLUSH EYES WITH PLENTY OF WATER FOR 15
MINUTES.CALL A PHYSICIAN. INGESTION: NOT A PROBABLE ROUTE; HOWEVER,
INCASE OF ACCIDENT AL INGESTION, CALL A PHYSICIAN.

Extinguishing Media:AS APPROPIATE FOR COMBUSTIBLES IN AREA.
Fire Fighting Procedures:COOL TANKS/CONTAINERS WITH WATER SPRAY OR FOG.
SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS IS REQUIRED IF CYLINDERS RUPTURE
AND CONTENTS ARE RELEASED UNDER FIRE CONDITIONS.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:CYLINDERS MAY RUPTURE UNDER FIRE
CONDITIONS. DECOMPOSITION MAY OCCUR.

Spill Release Procedures:VENTILATE AREA USING FORCED VENTILATION,
ESPECIALLY IN LOW OR ENCLOSED PLACES WHERE HEAVY VAPORS MIGHT
COLLECT. REMOVE OPEN FLAMES. USE SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS
FOR LARGE SPILLS OR RELEASES. NOTE: REVIEW FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
& HANDLING SECTIONS BEFORE PROCEEDING WITH CLEAN-UP. USE APPOPRIATE
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT DURING CLEAN-UP.

Handling and Storage Precautions:CLEAN, DRY AREA. DO NOT HEAT ABOVE 52C
(126F).
Other Precautions:AVOID BREATHING VAPORS. AVOID LIQUID CONTACT WITH
EYES OR SKIN. USE WITH SUFFCIENT VENTILATION TO KEEP EMPLOYEE
EXPOSURE BELOW THE RECOMMENDED LIMIT. CONTACT WITH CHLORINE OR
OTHER STRONG OXIDIZING AG ENTS SHOULD ALSO BE AVOIDED.

Respiratory Protection:UNDER NORMAL MANUFACTURUNG CONDITIONS, NO
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION IS REQUIRED WHEN USING THIS PRODUCT.
SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS IS REQUIRED IF LARGE RELEASE
OCCURS.
Ventilation:LOCAL EXHAUST IF LARGE AMOUNTS ARE RELEASED. MECHANICAL
VENTILATION SHOULD BE USED IN LOW/ENCLOSED PLACES.
Protective Gloves:IMPERVIOUS GLOVES SHOULD BE USED TO AVOID PROLONGED
EXPOSURE.
Eye Protection:CHEMICAL SPLASH GOGGLES SHOULD BE AVAILABLE FOR USE.
Other Protective Equipment:AVOID BREATHING VAPORS. AVOID CONTACT WITH
SKINA ND EYES. USE WITH SUFFICIENT VENTILATION TO KEEP EMPLOYEE
EXPOSURE BELOW RECOMMENDED EXPOSURE LIMITS.
Work Hygienic Practices:WASH THOROUGHLY AFTER HANDLING. WASH
CONTAMINATED CLOTHING BEFORE REUSE.
Supplemental Safety and Health
NOTE TO PHYSICIAN: THIS MATERIAL MAY MAKE THE HEART MORE SUSCEPTIBLE TO
ARRHYTHMIAS. CATECHOLAMINES SUCH AS ADRENALINE, AND OTHER COMPOUNDS
HAVING SIMILAR EFFECTS, SHOULD BE RESERVED FOR EMERGENCIES A ND
THEN USED ONLY WITH CAUTION.
