Routes of Entry: Inhalation:YES Skin:YES Ingestion:YES
Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:NO IARC:NO OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:PRIMARY EXPOSURE DURING SOLDERING IS
TO EVAPORATED ALCOHOL SOLVENT CONTAINING A SMALL AMOUNT OF ORGANIC
ACIDS. EFFECTS OF ACUTE (SHORT-TERM) EXPOSURE: INHALATION: FUMES
DURING SOLDERING MAY IRRITATE MUCOUS MEMBRANES AND RESPIRATORY
SYSTEM.HIGH CONCENTRATIONS CAN CAUSE HEADACHE, DIZZINESS, NARCOSIS
AND NAUSEA. SKIN: LOCAL IRRITATION. SKIN ABSORPTION: NONE. EYE:
IRRITATION FROM CONTACT WITH LIQUID AND SMOKE FROM SOLDERING.
INGESTION: BURNING SENSATION IN THE DIGESTIVE TRACT. EFFECTS OF
CHRONIC (PROLONGED) EXPOSURE: PROLONGED OR REPEATED SKIN CONTACT
CAN RESULT IN RASH. BREATHING VAPORS CAN RESU LT (SIGNS AND
SYMPTOMS OF OVEREXPOSURE)
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:NOT LISTED.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:CHEMICAL HYPERSENSITIVITY, ASTHMA
AND OTHER RESPIRATORY CONDITIONS. CONTINUED BREATHING OF HIGH
CONCENTRATIONS OF ALCOHOL VAPORS CAN AFFECT THE LIVER AND CENTRAL
NERVOUS SYSTEM.

First Aid:SEEK MEDICAL ASSISTANCE FOR FURTHER TREATMENT, OBSERVATION
AND SUPPORT IF NEEDED. EYE CONTACT: FLUSH EYES WITH PLENTY OF
WATER AND GET MEDICAL ATTENTION. SKIN CONTACT: WASH THOROUGHLY WITH
SOAP AND W ATER. INHALATION: REMOVE VICTIM TO FRESH AIR.
INGESTION: INDUCE VOMITING AND GET PROMPT MEDICAL ATTENTION.

Autoignition Temp:=398.9C, 750.F
Autoignition Temp Text:399 C
Lower Limits:2.5
Upper Limits:15.0
Extinguishing Media:CARBON DIOXIDE, ALCOHOL FOAM AND DRY CHEMICAL.
Fire Fighting Procedures:USE WATER SPRAY TO COOL FIRE EXPOSED
CONTAINERS AND CONTROL VAPORS. FIREFIGHTERS SHOULD WEAR NIOSH
APPROVED SCBA AND FULL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT .
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:HAZARDOUS COMBUSTION PRODUCTS: CARBON
MONOXIDE, CARBON DIOXIDE, ALIPHATIC ALDEHYDES & ACIDS. A MODERATE
EXPLOSION HAZARD EXISTS WHEN EXPOSED TO HEAT OR FLAMES. EXPLOSION
SENSITIVITY: IMPACT - NONE I DENTIFIED. STATIC DISCHARGE
SENSITIVITY: YES.

Spill Release Procedures:REMOVE ALL IGNITION SOURCES. PROVIDE ADEQUATE
VENTILATION. ABSORBANTS, SUCH AS VERMICULITE, CAN BE USED TO SOAK
UP THE SPILLED LIQUID OR FLUSH AWAY WITH PLENTY OF WATER.

Handling and Storage Precautions:AVOID EYE CONTACT. AVOID PROLONGED OR
REPEATED SKIN CONTACT. AVOID BREATHING SMOKE / FUMES GENERATED
DURING SOLDERING. STORE AWAY FROM SOURCES OF IGNITION. STORE AT
TEMPERATURES ABOVE 32F (0C). OPEN C ONTAINERS CAUTIOUSLY TO ALLOW
VENTING OF ANY INTERNAL PRESSURE.

Respiratory Protection:WHEN VENTILATION IS NOT SUFFICIENT TO REMOVE
FUMES FROM THE BREATHING ZONE, A NIOSH APPROVED RESPIRATOR SHOULD
BE WORN.
Ventilation:PROVIDE ADEQUATE EXHAUST VENTILATION (GENERAL AND / OR
LOCAL) IF NECESSARY TO MEET EXPOSURE REQUIREMENTS. LOCAL EXHAUST
(SUPPLEMENTAL SAFETY AND HEALTH)
Protective Gloves:PLASTIC OR RUBBER GLOVES WHEN NECESSARY TO AVOID SKIN
CONTACT.
Eye Protection:ANSI APPROVED CHEMICAL SAFETY GOGGLES .
Other Protective Equipment:IMPERMEABLE APRON WHEN SPLASHING IS LIKELY
TO OCCUR. EYEWASH & DELUGE SHOWER MEETING ANSI DESIGN CRITERIA .
Work Hygienic Practices:WASH HANDS THOROUGHLY BEFORE EATING OR SMOKING.
Supplemental Safety and Health
VENTILATION (CONT): VENTILATION IS PREFERRED TO MINIMIZE DISPERSION OF
SMOKE AND FUMES INTO WORK AREA.
