INHALATION: MAY CAUSE HEADACHE, DIZZINESS, UNCONSCIOUSNESS, COMA,
RESPIRATORY IRRITATION.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:NOT PROVIDED

First Aid:EYES: FLUSH EYES WITH PLENTY OF WATER FOR AT LEAST 15
MINUTES, OCCASIONALLY LIFTING UPPER AND LOWER LIDS. GET MEDICAL AID
IMMEDIATELY. SKIN: FLUSH SKIN WITH PLENTY OF SOAP AND WATER FOR AT
LEAST 15 MI NUTES WHILE REMOVING CONTAMINATED CLOTHING AND SHOES.
GET MEDICAL AID IF IRRITATION DEVELOPS OR PERSISTS. INGESTION: IF
VICTIM IS CONSCIOUS AND ALERT, GIVE 2-4 CUPFULS OF MILK OR WATER.
NEVER GIVE ANY THING BY MOUTH TO AN UNCONSCIOUS PERSON. GET MEDICAL
AID IMMEDIATELY. INHALATION: REMOVE FROM EXPOSURE TO FRESH AIR
IMMEDIATELY. IF NOT BREATHING, GIVE ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION. IF
BREATHING IS DIFFICUL T, GIVE OXYGEN. GET MEDICAL AID.

Flash Point:=-45.C, -49.F
Autoignition Temp:=180.C, 356.F
Lower Limits:1.9
Upper Limits:36.0
Extinguishing Media:FOR SMALL FIRES, USE DRY CHEMICAL, CARBON DIOXIDE,
WATER SPRAY OR ALCOHOL-RESISTANT FOAM. FOR LARGE FIRES, USE WATER
SPRAY, FOG OR ALCOHOL-RESISTANT FOAM.
Fire Fighting Procedures:AS IN ANY FIRE, WEAR A SELF-CONTAINED
BREATHING APPARATUS IN PRESSURE-DEMAND, MSHA/NIOSH (APPROVED OR
EQUIVALENT), AND FULL PROTECTIVE GEAR. USE WATER SPRAY TO COOL
FIRE-EXPOSED CONTAINERS. WATER MAY BE INEFFECTIVE. COOL CONTAINERS
WITH FLOODING QUANTITIES OF WATER UNTIL WELL AFTER FIRE IS OUT.
EXTREMELY FLAMMABLE
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:VAPORS MAY FORM AN EXPLOSIVE MIXTURE WITH
AIR. VAPORS CAN TRAVEL TO A SOURCE OF IGNITION AND FLASH BACK.
VAPORS MAY BE HEAVIER THAN AIR. THEY CAN SPREAD ALONG THE GROUND
AND COLLECT IN LOW OR CONFINED AREAS. WILL BE EASILY IGNITED BY
HEAT, SPARKS OR FLAME. CONTAINERS MAY EXPLODE WHEN HEATED.

Spill Release Procedures:USE PROPER PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT.
AVOID RUNOFF INTO STORM SEWERS AND DITCHES WHICH LEAD TO WATERWAYS.
REMOVE ALL SOURCES OF IGNITION. ABSORB SPILL USING AN ABSORBENT,
NON-COMBUSTIBLE MATERIAL SUCH AS EARTH, SAND, OR VERMICULITE.
PROVIDE VENTILATION. A VAPOR SUPPRESSING FOAM MAY BE USED TO REDUCE
VAPORS. WATER SPRAY MAY REDUCE VAPOR BUT MAY NOT PREVENT IGNITION
IN CLOSED SPACES.
Neutralizing Agent:NOT RELEVANT

Handling and Storage Precautions:KEEP AWAY FROM HEAT, SPARKS, FLAME.
KEEP AWAY FROM SOURCES OF IGNITION. DO NOT STORE IN DIRECT
SUNLIGHT. STORE IN A TIGHTLY CLOSED CONTAINER. KEEP FROM CONTACT
WITH OXIDIZING MATERIALS. STORE IN A COO L, DRY, WELL-VENTILATED
AREA AWAY FROM INCOMPATIBLES. GROUND AND BOND CONTAINERS WHEN
TRANSFERRING
Other Precautions:WASH THOROUGHLY AFTER HANDLING. REMOVE CONTAMINATED
CLOTHING AND WASH BEFORE REUSE. AVOID CONTACT WITH EYES, SKIN, AND
CLOTHING. EMPTY CONTAINERS RETAIN PRODUCT RESIDUE, AND CAN BE
DANGEROUS. KEEP CON TAINER TIGHTLY CLOSED. AVOID CONTACT WITH
SPARKS, FLAME. AVOID INGESTION AND INHALATION. USE WITH AD EQUATE
VENTILATION.

Respiratory Protection:FOLLOW THE OSHA RESPIRATOR REGULATIONS FOUND IN
29CFR 1910.134 OR EUROPEAN STANDARD EN 149. ALWAYS USE A NIOSH OR
EUROPEAN STANDARD EN 149 APPROVED RESPIRATOR WHEN NECESSARY.
Ventilation:USE EXPLOSION-PROOF VENTILATION EQUIPMENT. USE ADEQUATE
GENERAL/LOCAL EXHAUST VENTILATION TO KEEP AIRBORNE CONCENTRATIONS
BELOW THE PERMISSIBLE EXPOSURE LIMITS
Protective Gloves:WEAR APPROPRIATE PROTECTIVE GLOVES TO PREVENT SKIN
EXPOSURE.
Eye Protection:WEAR APPROPRIATE PROTECTIVE EYEGLASSES OR CHEMICAL
SAFETY GOGGLES
Other Protective Equipment:WEAR APPROPRIATE PROTECTIVE CLOTHING TO
PREVENT SKIN EXPOSURE. WEAR APPROPRIATE PROTECTIVE
EYEGLASSES/GOGGLES AS DESCRIBED BY OSHA'S EYE AND FACE PROTECTION
REGULATIONS IN 29 CFR 1910.133.
Work Hygienic Practices:WASH THOROUGHLY AFTER HANDLING. REMOVE
CONTAMINATED CLOTHNG AND WASH BEFORE REUSE. AVOID CONTACT WITH
EYES, SKIN, AND CLOTHING.
