Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:INHALATION: HIGH VAPOR CONCENTRATIONS
MAY CAUSE DROWSINESS AND IRRITATION. EYES: HIGH VAPOR
CONCENTRATIONS MAY CAUSE IRRITATION. SKIN: PROLONGED OR REPEATED
CONTACT MAY CAUSE DRYING, CRACKING, OR IRRI TATION. INGESTION:
EXPECTED TO BE A LOW INGESTION HAZARD.
Effects of Overexposure:INHALATION: HIGH VAPOR CONCENTRATIONS MAY CAUSE
DROWSINESS AND IRRITATION. EYES: HIGH VAPOR CONCENTRATIONS MAY
CAUSE IRRITATION. SKIN: PROLONGED OR REPEATED CONTACT MAY CAUSE
DRYING, CRACKING, OR IRRI TATION. INGESTION: EXPECTED TO BE A LOW
INGESTION HAZARD.

First Aid:INHALATION: MOVE TO FRESH AIR. TREAT SYMPTOMATICALLY. GET
MEDICAL ATTENTION IF SYMPTOMS PERSIST. EYES: IN CASE OF IRRITATION
FROM AIRBORNE EXPOSURE, MOVE TO FRESH AIR. IF EASY TO DO, REMOVE
CONTACT LE NSES. GET MEDICAL ATTENTION IF SYMPTOMS PERSIST. SKIN:
WASH WITH SOAP AND WATER. REMOVE CONTAMINATED CLOTHING AND SHOES.
GET MEDICAL ATTENTION IF SYMPTOMS OCCUR. WASH CONTAMINATED CLOTHING
BEFORE REUS E. DESTROY OR THOROUGHLY CLEAN CONTAMINATED SHOES.

Flash Point Method:TCC
Flash Point:=-4.C, 24.8F
Autoignition Temp:=485.C, 905.F
Lower Limits:2.02
Upper Limits:10.7
Extinguishing Media:WATER SPRAY, DRY CHEMICAL, CARBON DIOXIDE (CO2),
FOAM.
Fire Fighting Procedures:WEAR SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS AND
PROTECTIVE CLOTHING. USE WATER SPRAY TO KEEP FIRE-EXPOSED
CONTAINERS COOL. WATER MAY BE INEFFECTIVE IN FIGHTING THE FIRE.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:FLAMMABLE. VAPORS MAY CAUSE A FLASH FIRE
OR IGNITE EXPLOSIVELY. VAPORS MAY TRAVEL CONSIDERABLE DISTANCE TO A
SOURCE OF IGNITION AND FLASH BACK. PREVENT BUILDUP OF VAPORS OR
GASES TO EXPLOSIVE CONCENTR ATIONS.

Spill Release Procedures:ELIMINATE ALL IGNITION SOURCES. ABSORB SPILL
WITH VERMICULITE OR OTHER INERT MATERIAL THEN PLACE IN A CONTAINER
FOR CHEMICAL WASTE. FOR LARGE SPILLS: USE WATER SPRAY TO DISPERSE
VAPORS AND DILUTE SPIL L TO A NONFLAMMABLE MIXTURE. PREVENT RUNOFF
FROM ENTERING DRAINS, SEWERS, OR STREAMS.

Handling and Storage Precautions:KEEP AWAY FAROM HEAT, SPARKS, AND
FLAME. USE ONLY WITH ADEQUATE VENTILATION. KEEP FROM CONTACT WITH
OXIDIZING MATERIALS. COMPLY WITH ALL NATIONAL, STATE, AND LOCAL
CODES PERTAINING TO THE STORAGE, HAN DLING, DISPENSING, AND
DISPOSAL OF FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS. KEEP CONTAINER TIGHTLY CLOSED.
Other Precautions:AVOID BREATHING HIGH VAPOR CONCENTRATIONS. AVOID
PROLONGED OR REPEATED CONTACT WITH SKIN. USE ONLY WITH ADEQUATE
VENTILATION. WASH THOROUGHLY AFTER HANDLING.

Respiratory Protection:IF ENGINEERING CONTROLS DO NOT MAINTAIN AIRBORNE
CONCENTRATIONS BELOW RECOMMENDED EXPOSURE LIMITS, AN APPROVED
RESPIRATOR MUST BE WORN. RESPIRATOR TYPE: ORGANIC VAPOR. IF
RESPIRATORS ARE USED, A PROGR AM SHOULD BE INSTITUTED TO ASSURE
COMPLIANCE WITH OSHA STANDARD 63 FR 1152, JANUARY 8, 1998.
Ventilation:GOOD GENERAL VENTILATION (TYPICALLY 10 AIR CHANGES PER
HOUR) SHOULD BE USED. VENTILATION RATES SHOULD BE MATCHED TO
CONDITIONS.
Protective Gloves:CHEMICAL-RESISTANT GLOVES SHOULD BE WORN. CONTACT
GLOVE MFR FOR SPECIFIC INFO
Eye Protection:WEAR SAFETY GLASSES WITH SIDE SHIELDS (OR GOGGLES).
Other Protective Equipment:WEAR FULL-FACE RESPIRATOR, IF NEEDED.
RECOMMENDED DECONTAMINATION FACILITIES: EYE BATH, WASHING
FACILITIES.
Supplemental Safety and Health
USE PROCESS ENCLOSURES, LOCAL EXHAUST VENTILATION, OR OTHER ENGINEERING
CONTROLS TO MAINTAIN AIRBORNE LEVELS BELOW RECOMMENDED EXPOSURE
LIMITS.
