Routes of Entry: Inhalation:YES Skin:YES Ingestion:YES
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:HIGH VAPOR CONCENTRATIONS MAY CAUSE
DROWSINESS AND IRRITATION OF THE EYS OR RESPIRATORY TRACT.
PROLONGED OR REPEATED SKIN COANTACT MAY CAUSE DRYING, CRACKING, OR
IRRITATION. INGESTION: EXPECTED TO BE LOW INGESTION HAZARD
Effects of Overexposure:INHALATION: HIGH VAPOR CONCENTATIONS MAY CAUSE
DROWSINESS AND IRRITATION. EYS: HIGH VAPOR CONCENTRATIONS MAY CAUSE
IRRIATION. SKIN: PROLONGED OR REPEATED CONTACT MAY CAUSE DRYING,
CRACKING, OR IRRITAT ION. 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 CONTAMINAATED SHOES.
INGESTION: SEEK MEDICAL ADVICE.

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: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 CONCENTRATIONS.

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 SPI LL TO A NONFLAMMABLE MIXTURE. PREVENT RUNOFF
FROM ENTERING DRAINS, SEWERS, OR STREAMS.

Handling and Storage Precautions:KEEP AWAY FROM HEAT, SPARKS, AND
FLAME. USE ONLY WITH ADEQUATE VENTILATION. KEEP FROM CONTACT WITH
OXIDIZING MATERIAL. COMPLY WITH ALL NATIONAL, STATE, AND LOCAL
CODES PERTAINING TO THE STORAGE, HANDL ING, DISPENSING AND DISPOSAL
OF FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS. KEEP CONTAINER TIGHTLY CLOSED.
Other Precautions:PERSONAL PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES: 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 CONTRAOLS DO NOT MAINTAIN
AIRBORNE CONCENTRATIONS BELOW RECOMMENDED EXPOSURE LIMITS, AN
APPROVED RESPIRATOR MUST BE WORN. RESPIRATOR TYPE: ORGANIC VAPOR.
IF RESPIRATORS ARE USED, A PROG RAM SHOULD BE INSTITUTED TO ASSURE
COMPLIANCE WITH OSHA STANDARD 63 FR 1152, JANUARY 8, 1998. A FULL
FACE RESPIRATOR, IF NEEDED.
Ventilation:GOOD GENERAL VENTILATION (TYPICALLY 10 AIR CHANGES PER
HOUR) SHOULD BE USED. SEE SUPP DATA
Protective Gloves:CHEMICAL- RSISTANT
Eye Protection:SAFETY GLASSES WITH SIDE SHIELDS (OR GOGGLES).
Other Protective Equipment:RECOMMENDED DECONTAMINATION FACILITIES: EYE
BATH, WASHING FACILITIES.
Work Hygienic Practices:WASH THOROUGHLY AFTER HANDLING.
Supplemental Safety and Health
VENTILATION CONT: USE PROCESS ENCLOSURES, LOCAL EXHAUST VENTILATION, OR
OTHER ENGINEERING CONTROLS TO MAINTAIN AIRBORNE LEVELS BELOW
RECOMMENDED EXPOSURE LIMITS.
